Employees at securities firms have access to stock information that is more abundant and faster than what the general public receives. However, only a few among them are truly wealthy. Many believe that having a good environment, a prime location, and access to exclusive, valuable information will lead to wealth, but the reality is different. In truth, a person’s perspective and practical ability to understand the world hold greater power. A life dedicated to understanding the essence of phenomena and things ultimately enriches one’s existence. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
A shareholder is the owner of a company. A shareholder is someone who invests capital in a company. There are three ways for shareholders to take money from the invested company: 1) become an executive or employee and receive wages, 2) receive dividends after settlement, or 3) receive remaining assets (liquidation property) excluding debts when the company is liquidated. A third party investing in the company is directly irrelevant to the existing shareholders in cash flow. Despite the shareholder owning the company, there is no way to share the surplus capital caused by the investments among the existing shareholders other than 1) and 2) except for company liquidation No. 3. Let me be clear: receiving an investment does not guarantee benefits for the company. It simply covers future costs and expenses in advance. Capital inducement means increasing the heavy duty of leaving profits, not being given profits unconditionally. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
