- Common stock
- Preferred stock
Common stock is usually what is issued to the general public. The term common Stock doesn't carry any negative connotations, but rather indicates that it is the "standard" stock the company has offered. Common shareholders have voting rights.
And as the word suggests, "Preferred" stock has certain advantages over common stock.
First, preferred share holders are paid dividends on their Stock Market investment before common share holders. And if a company isn't doing well, the Common stock dividend is eliminated first.
Second, is if a company goes out of business, the owners of preferred shares have prior claim to any assets that remain when the company is dissolved and after bond holders and other creditors have been paid.
Owners of common stock are the last in line to pick up the pieces of the fallen corporation.
