You need to have HALF or OVER HALF of 1 million.
Depending upon where you are:In those countries that use the long scale (based on powers of a million), like Europe:1 billion = (10^6)^2 = 10^6 × 10^6 = 10^6 million = 1,000,000 million = 1 million million → 10 million = 10 million ÷ (10^6 × 1 million) billion = 10^-5 million = 0.00001 billionIn those countries that use the short scale (based on powers of a thousand plus one), like USA:1 billion = (10^3)^(2+1) = 10^9 = 10^3 × 10^6 = 10^3 million = 1,000 million = 1 thousand million → 10 million = 10 million ÷ (10^3 × 1 million) billion = 10^-2 billion = 0.01 billion

a million has 6 zeroes, a billion 9, and a trillion 12. one million billion trillion is the sum of those, or 6+9+12 = 27 zeroes
The answer depends on whether you're using the U.S. or British billion.The U.S. billion is a thousand millions, so 25 billion is 25,000 millions.The British billion is a million millions, so 25 billion is 25,000,000 millions.The answer depends upon where you are:In those countries that use the long scale (based on powers of a million), like Europe:1 billion = 1 million million = 1,000,000 million → 25 billion = 25,000,000 million (25 million million)In those countries that use the short scale (based on powers of a thousand plus one), like USA:1 billion = 1 thousand million = 1,000 million → 25 billion = 25,000 million (25 thousand million).

Stock is a share is a stock. No! Yes! A company's stock is divided into multiple shares and you can buy those shares.
The owners of a company that sells shares of its stock are the shareholders who own those shares.
The board of directors for a company will announce that they have decided to buy back their own shares from the current outstanding shares and then retiring those shares. A Company may do this for several reasons but the main reason is to increase the value of the stock price for the share holders. If a company has 10 million outstanding shares and a current stock price of $5/share (keep in mind the market cap would be $50 million). The company announces that the board has authorized the repurchase of 5 million shares. Then the company will typically buy those shares back throughout the year(or whatever time frame) reducing the outstanding shares to 5 million from the initial 10 million. Let's say that miraculously the company was able to purchase all 5 million shares at $5/share. So they spend $50 million buying back the stock. If I was wealthy shareholder and own 1 million shares of the company then before the buyback I owned 10%(my shares / total outstanding shares....1 milliion/10million) of the company. After the buyback there are now 5 million shares so I own 20% (1 million / 5 million) of the company. If the stock remains at $10/share after the buyback then the the market cap is now 25 million, but if shareholders thought the value of company was worth 50 million before the only thing that has changed after the buyback is the number of outstanding shares. So that means the price should increase to make the market cap go back up. So the idea is when a company buys back stock they increase the value of each share to the shareholder by increasing their ownership in the company. In our case the price of the stock should now be $10/share making the market cap 50 million again ($10/share x 5 million shares = $50 million). So buybacks are an alternative to dividends as a method for a company to return value to the shareholders.

If a stock price goes to zero, it means that the company's shares are essentially worthless, and investors who own those shares would lose all of their investment in the stock.
The stock split record date is important because it determines which shareholders are eligible to receive additional shares as a result of the stock split. Shareholders who own shares on or before the record date will be entitled to the additional shares, while those who purchase shares after the record date will not receive them.
Microsoft purchased $150 million of non-voting Apple stock as part of a resolution to a long running legal dispute over their use of certain features that resembled those used in the Mac. The stock was later sold back to Apple for a profit.
A "hold" in financial terms means that the stock trader already has bought shares of a company in the past and is going to "hold on to them" because he/she believes the value of those shares will grow in the future.

Google has not had any splits or large changes with their stock. The stock opened at 80 dollars give or take a few. If you had 100 shares at 80 dollars that would be an 8 thousand dollar investment. The stock currently trades between 300 and 400. Your investment would be worth 35 thousand give or take 5 thousand today March 2009.
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.
