Dialogue
Mary: It' s so nice to see you, Frank. Sorry, I couldn't come to your office today. Frank: Never mind. Have a seat. Let' s start by having some coffee. Later. Mary: So Frank. I guess it might be right time for me to invest in that computer company. As my stockbroker, what can you suggest? Frank: I am sure they are doing extremely well and they would welcome your investment. Mary: But why do they need my investment if they are doing so well? Frank: O.K. I think I should explain you a little about a corporate finance. Mary: Go ahead. If it concerns my money I am always interested. Frank: If a corporate enterprise wants to expand it needs financing. Mary: You are right. Frank: So there are two basic types of financing: equity and debt. Mary: What's the difference between them? Frank: If the money is supplied by the owners of a business it is called equity funding. And the use of money supplied by loans is called debt funding. Mary: So as investor, what am I? Frank: Well, as an investor you become a partial owner of a business and receive equity. You get shares or certificates of common stock which represent your portion of ownership. Mary: You did right buying the stock for me. By the way. are there any documents which show the financial state of the company? Frank:: Oh yes. You've just reminded me. I've brought a copy of the company's Annual Report for you to look over. You should read it very carefully. And if you have something to ask do it, please. Mary: Thanks a lot, Frank. I will. Does this company pay dividends on its stock? Frank: Yes. In fact, I studied their Annual Report and I can tell that they have good management. Their business is doing very well, the value of their stock has been rising. It can be an excellent long-term investment, I am sure. Mary: But if I want to sell my shares very soon? Frank: No problem. Undoubtedly you can make a profit on the sale. But it seems to me you'll want to keep this company in your portfolio. Mary: Thank you for your advice. You are wise as usual. Frank: Well, my advice now is to study the company's Annual Report. You need several days for that. Then we'll meet and talk again.
