Unknown1 I realize that you’ve been a stockbroker for 12 years, so I’m hoping it is just a typo but a share of stock is not A. Stock is not a guarentee to a fixed amount of income from the corporation. Its furthest down on the capital structure, you only get income if it pays a dividend, the dividend is not guarenteed, a company can stop paying a dividend at any time.
