<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1339591, member: 3011&quot;]This is wrong again.&nbsp; Owning stock gives you a fractional ownership in the business.&nbsp; Shareholder equity is merely a bookkeeping itme on the balance sheet that is the residual of carrying value of the assets and liabilities.&nbsp; This has nothing to do with intrinsic value which includes other factors such as revenue, earnings, cash flow, liquidation value, dividends [for some methodologies] and intangibles [which yes, have value].&nbsp; At times, the intrinsic value of an asset [and therefore the business and the stock] can greatly exceed the cost of the asset on the balance sheet that works it&#039;s way into shareholder equity.&nbsp; This is very basic Business 101, and you seem completely aware of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel bad for the fatamites out there who may read the stuff you post and believe any of it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
