In my opinion Target. It has better growth potential than Wal-Mart which has saturated the market in much of the US. But it is okay if you think it is Wal-Mart This is an opinion and a very debatable question :(
No, it is not easy for Walmart to invest here because the population is only 27 Million.
Typically, the difference is in the stage of the company the fund will invest its money. Private Equity Funds invest their money in mid-stage companies while Venture Capital Funds invest their money in early-stage companies.
The question was: How do you find information on how many shares of Walmart stock you own? The answer is: It depends on how you own the shares. Essentially, there are 2 methods to own a company's stock: Through a Brokerage Company or through Direct Investment. The most common way by far is to buy the shares of stock through a brokerage company and have the brokerage company "hold" them for you in an account you set up with the brokerage company. As such, the company in whom you won the stock - in this case Walmart - will deal with your brokerage company in all matters relating to the stock. For example, dividends will be paid by Walmart to the brokerage company, and the brokerage company will credit them to your brokerage account. Then you - as the owner of the brokerage account - can direct the brokerage company to use those funds to buy more stock, send the funds to you, etc. The company's stock - Walmart in this case - is registered in the "Street Name" - the name of the brokerage company. The brokerage company then holds the shares for you and does all the work for you as well - for which the collect fees (to "manage" your account) and commissions (money you pay to the brokerage company for the buying and selling of the shares). The second way is Direct Investment. If the company in which you wish to own the stock participates in a direct investment plan - and many do, you can buy the shares directly through that company. For example, Walmart allows individuals to invest directly in Walmart shares. You deal directly with their "transfer agent" (the company that manages the transactions for Walmart). There are only a few transfer agents - Computershare and BNY Mellon are two of the largest - and every one of the 30 stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and most of the S&P 500 offer a Direct Investment Plan (DRIP for short) to individuals who wish to participate in one. Why would someone chose to purchase stock via a DRIP rather than a broker? Several reasons. 1) Cost is a big one. Most DRIPs charge very low fees - far less than even a discount broker. For example, Pfizer - the world's largest drug company - charges no fee at all to set up a drip with them. 2) A second reason is fractional shares, where the company allows you to invest all the money you wish, with none left over if you did not have enough to purchase an exact share - for example, if Pfizer is selling for $16 a share, and you had $100 to invest, Pfizer would purchase, and hold for you in your DRIP account with Pfizer, 6.25 shares. 3) Dividend re-investment. If Pfizer pays a dividend (and they do), they will either send you a check, or if you wish - and you should - buy more shares if Pfizer stock with it. At little or no cost (with Pfizer, it is no cost) to you. This is a great way to add more shares to you holdings - without paying for them. Drawbacks with a DRIP? The main one is you don't get all that attention from a broker. Some people find they don't need it - nor do they need to pay for it - so they don't mind. Second, let's say you have three DRIPs - Pfizer, Exxon, and GE. You would have three accounts, and get three statements - one for each stock you own. To find out more, Search for DRIP on Google, or look at two of the largest DRIP transfer agents - Computershare (www. computershare.com) and BNY Mellon (http://www.bnymellon.com/shareownerservices/individuals.html). Good Luck...
Venture investors are typically looking to invest in high growth companies that are competing in very large markets and have some sort of differentiated defensible technology and/or product Venture capitalist simply invest money in a company and take certain ownership in the company. The question the becomes, how much money do they invest and how much ownership do they take? The quick answer to these questions depends on what stage the company is at. Different venture firms have different strategies. 1. Early/Seed state These groups are typically investing in companies that are very early in their life. The company might have a technology or might just have an idea that they want to develop a business around. If you can have some sort of beta product to show the venture investors, it will help them understand what exactly it is you are trying to do. More times than not, investors investing at this stage are investing in companies that are "pre-revenue." Seed stage venture investors typically invest less than one million in a company. Early stage venture firms typically invest 1-5 million in the company's first round of capital raising. 2. Growth Stage These venture groups are looking to invest in companies that have figured out what their product and technology is and are hopefully gaining traction in the market they are competing in. Traction might mean, users or that the company has customers and is generating revenue. Growth Stage venture investors typically invest 5-15 million in companies. In most cases, they are not the first investor in the company. Many companies at this stage raised seed/early stage financing from other venture investors. When a venture group invests money in a company, they take ownerhsip. How much? The short answer is that it varies. Anytime someone invests in a company they are putting an implied valuation on the company. For example, if you are raising a early round of financing, a venture investor might invest 2 million and take 40 percent of the company. This means the "pre-money" valuation of your company was 3 million. After the investor puts in 2 million in capital, the effective valuation of the company is 5 million.

yes
You can't. Walmart is a retail chain, not a franchise. The closest you can get to sharing in the profits is to own the land that Walmart builds a store on, or to work your way up to upper-management within the company or invest in it some other way.
Yes, Walmart is actually one of the best stocks markets to invest in, is fully safe, One stock marketyou really don't have to think twice to invest in.
It has CHEAP THINGS
No, it is not easy for Walmart to invest here because the population is only 27 Million.
I don't believe they franchise, but why would you want to-they are losing money to walmart and amazon. before you invest your life savings in a store-try to find one making a profit.

As of now, Zappos.com is not a publicly traded company, so you cannot invest directly in it through purchasing its stocks. However, Zappos is owned by Amazon.com, which is a publicly traded company. If you are interested in investing in Zappos indirectly, you can invest in Amazon.com, which owns and operates Zappos as a subsidiary.
If you mean how do you invest in the company, you do so by purchasing Microsoft stock.
Yes it is, as there is no guaranteed income like interest which we receive on fixed deposits. Again it depends on which company stocks you want to invest in, if you are investing in any company whose products or services are haram then its better not to invest in those companies.
as the private company should invest the money of there own which is now difficult to invest and while in the public company there can go for IPO where they can get money from public in which they can invest for there business which is not possible for private company.
Not only does a company invest in its own subsidiary, it typically owns all of the stock of its "wholly owned" subsidiaries.
