yes

-------------

Yes, If it's publicly traded on a stock exchange. If its privately held, probably not. It's up to the board of directors who they sell available stick to and at what price. Anyone who already owns stock in a privately held corp may sell their shares, but the company may have the first opportunity to match the price to control who owns the stock.
