Purpose of the Stock Market

Almost every large corporation
started out as a small, momand-pop operation and through
growth, became financial giants.

Wal-Mart was originally a singlestore business in Arkansas; Dell
computer began with Michael
Dell selling computers out of his
college room; McDonald’s was
once a small restaurant no one
had heard of...

What is a stock market?

A stock market or equity market is a
public market for the trading of securities
listed on a stock exchange, at an agreed
price.

A stock exchange is an entity which
provides trading facilities for stock brokers
and traders to trade stocks and other
securities.

To be able to trade a security on a certain
stock exchange, it has to be listed there.
Modern markets are electronic networks,
which gives them advantages of speed and
cost of transactions. Trade on an exchange
is by members only.

HISTORY

In France, during the 12th century, the
courratiers de change were concerned with
managing and regulating the debts of
agricultural communities on behalf of the
banks. As these men also traded in debts,
they could be called the first brokers.

In the late 13th century commodity traders in
Bruges gathered inside the house of a man
called Van der Bourse, and in 1309 they
institutionalized this until now informal
meeting and became the "Bruges Bourse".
The idea spread quickly around Flanders and
neighbouring counties and "Bourses" soon
opened in Ghent and Amsterdam.
6
HISTORY

In the middle of the 13th century
Venetian bankers began to trade in
government securities, followed by
people in Pisa, Verona and Florence.

The Dutch later started joint stock
companies, which let shareholders
invest in business ventures and get a
share of their profits - or losses. In
1602, the Dutch East India Company
issued the first shares on the
Amsterdam Stock Exchange. It was
the first company to issue stocks and
bonds.
7
HISTORY

Generally the origin of the stock
exchange is traced back to the stock
exchange in Antwerp (1460). Still the
Amsterdam
Stock
Exchange
is
considered as the oldest.

The New York Stock Exchange traces
its origins to 1792, when 24 New York
City stockbrokers and merchants signed
the Buttonwood Agreement. This
agreement set in motion the NYSE’s
commitment to investors and issuers.
8
HISTORY

Before the Great Crash of 1929, there was little
support for federal regulation of the securities
markets.

Tempted by false promises and easy credit, most
investors gave little thought to the systemic risk
that arose from widespread abuse of margin
financing and unreliable information.

When the stock market crashed in October 1929,
public confidence in the markets plummeted.

Securities Act of 1933 & Securities Exchange Act
of 1934: created the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), to restore investor confidence
in capital markets by providing more reliable
information and clear rules of honest dealing.

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt appointed
Joseph P. Kennedy, President John F. Kennedy's
father, to serve as the first Chairman of the SEC.
9
Stocks

A stock is a certificate that
represents ownership of a
certain portion of a firm. When a
firm issues new shares, it does
not add to its debt. Instead, it
brings in additional “owners”
who supply it with funds.

Unlike
bonds
or
direct
borrowing,
stocks
do
not
promise a fixed annual payment.
Returns depend on company
performance: if profits are high,
the firm may pay dividends.
10
Dematerialization - DEMAT

It is the move from physical certificates to electronic book keeping.
Actual stock certificates are being removed and retired from
circulation in exchange for electronic recording.

This system works through a depository: it is a system of
organisation, which keeps electronic records of securities.

USA: Depository Trust Company.
European Union: European Central Securities Depositories
Association (ECSDA).
Japan: Japan Securities Depository Center, Inc. (JASDEC) .
Colombia: Deceval, DCV.

Different Types Of Stocks
1.
Common Stock: they represent ownership in a company
and a claim (dividends) on a portion of profits. They give
voting rights: investors get one vote per share to elect the
board members. If a company goes bankrupt and
liquidates, the common shareholders will not receive
money until the creditors, bondholders and preferred
shareholders are paid. Higher risk, but also higher return.
2.
Preferred Stock: they represent some degree of
ownership in a company but usually do not imply voting
rights. They usually guarantee a fixed dividend. In the
event of liquidation, preferred shareholders are paid off
before the common shareholder. Preferred stock may
also be callable, meaning that the company has the
option to purchase the shares from shareholders at
anytime for any reason.
12
Different Types Of Stocks

Blue chip stocks are stocks of well-established companies that have
stable earnings and no extensive liabilities. They have a track record of
paying regular dividends, and are valued by investors seeking relative
safety and stability.

Penny stocks are low-priced, speculative and risky securities which are
traded over-the-counter (OTC).

Income stocks offer a higher dividend in relation to their market price.
They are especially attractive to investors who are looking for current
income that will gradually grow over the years as a way to offset
inflation.

Growth stocks are securities which appreciate in value and yield a high
return. Their profits are typically re-invested to expand the business.
Investors gain because the stock prices increase as the business grows,
thus increasing the value of the investment.

Value stocks are securities which investors consider to be undervalued.
They feel that the stock is being traded below market value, and they
believe in the long-term growth of the issuing company.

shares or $200,000
value.
27
International cross-listing
and depositary receipts

Many companies are finding ways to broaden their
investor bases and raise capital by cross-listing their
shares on foreign exchanges.

There are two main requirements in order to make a
cross-listing:
1.
Companies must comply with the standars set for
cross-listing by the exchanges.
2.
Companies must adhere to the securities regulations
of the country in which it wants to list its shares.
28
International cross-listing
and depositary receipts

Cross-listed stocks can be traded directly on a
national stock market, but most often they are
traded in the form of a depositary receipt.

Depositary receipt (DR): is a type of negotiable
financial security that is traded on a local stock
exchange but represents a security, usually in the
form of equity, that is issued by a foreign publicly
listed company.
29
American Depositary Receipt (ADR)

It represents ownership in the shares of a non-U.S.
company that trades in U.S. financial markets.

ADRs enable U.S. investors to buy shares in foreign
companies without the hazards or inconveniences of
cross-border & cross-currency transactions. ADRs carry
prices in US dollars, pay dividends in US dollars, and can
be traded like the shares of US-based companies.

Each ADR is issued by a U.S. depositary bank and can
represent a fraction of a share, a single share, or multiple
shares of the foreign stock. ADR owner has the right to
obtain the foreign stock it represents, but US investors
usually find it more convenient simply to own the ADR.
30
American Depositary Receipt (ADR)

The price of an ADR often tracks the price of the foreign
stock in its home market, adjusted for the ratio of ADRs to
foreign company shares.

ADRs do not eliminate the currency and economic risks for
the underlying shares in another country. For example,
dividend payments in euros would be converted to U.S.
dollars, net of conversion expenses and foreign taxes and in
accordance with the deposit agreement.

The first ADR was introduced by J.P. Morgan in 1927, for
the British retailer Selfridges&Co. There are currently four
major commercial banks that provide depositary bank
services - JPMorgan, Citibank, Deutsche Bank and the Bank
of New York Mellon. ADRs are listed on either the NYSE,
AMEX or Nasdaq.
31
Global Depositary Receipt - GDR

A bank certificate issued in more than one country for shares in a
foreign company. The shares are held by a foreign branch of an
international bank. The shares trade as domestic shares, but are
offered for sale globally through the various bank branches.

A GDR is a certificate issued by a depository bank, which
purchases shares of foreign companies and deposits it on the
account. GDRs represent ownership of an underlying number of
shares.

Global Depository Receipts facilitate trade of shares, and are
commonly used to invest in companies from developing or
emerging markets.

Prices of GDRs are often close to values of related shares, but
they are traded and settled independently of the underlying share.

What is a stock market index?

Index based on a statistical compilation of the share prices of
a number of representative stocks (bluechips).
1.
Understand what the index covers: type and amount of
stocks.
2.
Understand the numbers: they are index numbers,
calculated as weighted averages, so they must be compared
to their previous values.
3.
Read the change in the market index as a percentage not
a dollar amount: calculate its percentage variation.
4.
Compare market index numbers to other times for
relevant comparison: market performance, bull or bear.

Stocks: Different values

Nominal
value:
The
value
of
a
share
when
issued.

Book value: A company's common stock equity as it appears
on a balance sheet, equal to total assets minus liabilities,
preferred stock, and intangible assets such as goodwill. This is
how much the company would have left over in assets if it went
out of business immediately.

Market value: The current quoted price at which investors buy
or sell a share of common stock or a bond at a given time. Also
known as "market price".

Investment (intrinsic) value: the value of the corporation
based on discounted cash flow analysis and the income
generating capacity of the firm.

Graham (1973): market value is what investors pay, intrinsic
value is what they get.
49
Stock Valuation:
Determining the Price of a Stock

Things that are likely to affect the price of a stock include:


What people expect its future dividends will be
When the dividends are expected to be paid
 The amount of risk involved

The price of a stock should equal the discounted value of its
expected future dividends, where the discount factors depend on
the interest rate and risk.

Announcements of higher expected future dividends or perceived
lower risk should increase the firm’s stock price.
50
Stock Valuation
Gordon-Shapiro Dividend Valuation Model
A model for determining the intrinsic value of a stock, based on a
future series of dividends that grow at a constant rate. Given a
dividend
per
share
that
is
payable
in
one
year,
and the assumption that the dividend grows at a constant rate in
perpetuity, the model solves for the present value of the infinite series
of future dividends.
Where:
D = Expected dividend per share one year from now
k = Required rate of return for equity investor
G = Growth rate in dividends (in perpetuity)

Stock Valuation

The price of a stock may also be driven up not by the
discounted value of expected future dividends, but by people’s
views of what others will pay for the stock in the future.

One might call this a bubble because the stock price depends
on what people expect that other people expect, etc.

"Irrational exuberance" is a phrase used by the former
Federal Reserve Board Chairman, Alan Greenspan, in a
speech given at the American Enterprise Institute during the
stock market boom of the 1990s. The phrase was a warning
that the market might be somewhat overvalued.
