Yes, it's just a peice of paper and there's like one company that holds all of the paper stocks for all of the US. When you buy a stock your actually just buying a claim to that stock.

>>11296488
No, like, that's just paper that SAYS the stock exists

But WHERE is the stock? Can I touch the TRUE stock?

What do stocks feel like?

you own a piece of the company

so if you by a piece of google you just bought some of the bricks in their office, or like a water cooler or something

>>11296528
It feels like the most beautiful virgin's soft breast

>>11296528
It feels like a bag of sand

Why would anyone buy a stock?

>>11296558
Can I take the bricks out of the office? Or does Google have the final say in where the bricks go and how they're used?

hope it's not the latter

kinda want some bricks

>>11296420
Stock certificate exist. Digital now.

You own claim to the company after the bondholders. Bondholders are the real owners of any company.

>>11296633
So if I owned a failing company's stock and they to into bankruptcy, I could ask for office chairs that the bondholders didn't want?

>>11296528
it's an agreement. it has as much tangible existence as any other form of contract

>>11296685
basically yes, but they just sell all that stuff and distribute the money between all of the shareholders. it's unreasonable to divide a few hundred office chairs between a few hundred thousand shareholders.

>>11296767
But if rather have a chair than the money

>>11296558

No you don't.

You don't own the company at all. You just have a right over voting or potential dividends. You DO NOT own the company AT ALL. Why do all fucking fatclaps think this.

>>11296772
if you own enough voting share of the company you might be able to work something out. nobody is going to mail you an office chair though.

>>11296794
But they can vote to mail me an office chair if I really really really push for it, right?

>>11296772
then you can buy it at the auction they hold to make money

>>11296804
technically yes? would have to run a pretty massive campaign for it though. you'd soon have somebody just send you some random chair just to shut you up

>>11296804
You won't get a chair an office qt was using, those always go to the bond holders

>>11296844
What if the qt IS the office?

No. Its a ponzi for boomers. Crypto unironically has more fundamental value than a stock
