What does 'Stock holdings ultimately determine the market value of a firm as reflected in prices of the security it issues' mean?

When a firm "floats" it sells stock (share holdings) on a listed stock exchange. People purchase these and they become the owners of the firm and receive a share of the profits that the firm makes each year. If the firm does well then the value of the shares rises on the stock market the shares sell for more than the person originally paid for them. If the firm is badly run it does less well and the value of the shares fall and if the person were to sell their holding, they may get less than they paid for them. Thus the net value of a firm (the total value of all the shares issued) is reflected by the performance (price obtainable) of its shares on the market.

What is a transaction of less than 100 shares?

Because most stocks are sold in "blocks" of 100 shares (rarely more or fewer), a transaction of fewer than 100 shares is called an "odd lot". This can also be applied to trades that are not in strict multiples of 100 shares. The commission applied to such trades is often larger, or a greater percentage than for trades in 100 multiples.

What is to list a company in stock exchange?

A company that is "listed" on a stock exchange is a corporation that has issued shares of stock which are available to be purchased by the public. The "exchange" is a marketplace where the shares can be bought and sold. Those who purchase the shares in a company are potentially able to profit from the growth of the company and any dividends that the company might issue. By selling shares, the company can potentially raise much more capital than they would otherwise be able to borrow.

Why would a company issue a stock dividend instead of a cash dividend?

From InvestorWords.com: A dividend paid as additional shares of stock rather than as cash. If dividends paid are in the form of cash, those dividends are taxable. When a company issues a stock dividend, rather than cash, there usually are not tax consequences until the shares are sold. These additional shares of stock are usually distributed to shareholders at no cost. Please see the following site for additional information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dividend


How much do the stock cost and how much do you need to invest to buy?

It depends on the company stock you wish to buy. The minimum amount that can be invested in the stock marketvaries from country to country. For example: In India the minimum investment in the stock market is Rs. 500/- You cannot buy or sell shares when your trade's net worth is less than 500. For ex: if I want to buy 20 shares of ABC company whose price is Rs. 10/- per share I will not be allowed to do it. I must buy a minimum of 50 shares if ABC company in order to make my total trade value atleast Rs. 500.
