Are ownerships measured in dividends?

No. Ownership is measured by the percentage of stock owned in a company, but there are different classes of stock. Non voting prefferred stock represents an ownership interest in the company and usually pays a required set dividend at a set interval such as quaterly, semi-annualy or annually. The per share dividend is always the same, but the more preferred shares you own the more you receive. In the event the company liquidates, preferred stockholders get paid first. However, preferred stockholders have no say in company decisions. Preferred stock is often convertable to a certain number of shares of common stock. Voting common stock pays a dividend whenever the board of directors declares a dividend per share in an amount per share determined by the board. The more stock you own, the greater the total dividend you receive. Common stockholders elect the officers and board of directors of the company, and may vote on other issues as well that are put before them by the board.
