How do you estimate expected market share?
It is based on Turnover, also called Revenue, or Sales.
First calculate expected turnover e.g. for the coming year.
Then consider the turnover of each of the competitors.
Each company will have only a percentage of the total 'turnover' or expected global Sales value of that particular product or product line.
If expected global annual sales of Zigtots is expected to be 10 million tishks, and Company-A expects to sell 1 million tishks worth, their market share is 10%.
But Company-B might be on target to sell 2 million tishks worth, an expected market share of 20%. If Company-A wants to increase market share they have several options some of which can be combined in the strategy e.g. reduce prices and hope for greater sales, increase marketing, increase prices whilst maintaining volume sales, focusing marketing on high-probability prospects, enhance the product (add value) so that more sales will result, and/or acquire (buy out) competitor's companies.
Increasing market share can be an important factor in sustaining and developing company growth. However, increased market share might be obtained at the cost of lowering margins and lowering profitablity, even to the extent of making losses just to increase market share. This latter position cannot be sustained indefinitely.

Baidu is the first Chinese search engine to get approval to run a news service. People are comparing it to Google, but I don't think that's quite accurate--it looks more like a fledgling Yahoo to me. The major advantage of this stock is its uniqueness: while dot-com plays are old hat, this one's in China where the Internet is still largely uncharted territory. The major DISadvantage of it is that it's in a communist country that could shut down the Internet if it decides it's interfering with the revolution. Something that really makes me happy about Baidu's chances is that their management is no joke: the man who created Infoseek's search engine built Baidu's. Baidu COULD be a good investment, if you're willing to ride out its extreme volatility (over the last 52 weeks, it's varied by over $200 per share) and if you're willing to keep a $195 put under it.

What does Capital Stock 5000 shares-no par value mean?
Par value, sometimes referred to as maturity value is the face value of a stock certificate or bond and sets the price below which the security will not be issued. In the case of a bond, it is the principle amount that is due at maturity or call. In the case of a company's stock, the par value has no relation to the market value of the security and is typically set at $0.01 or $0.001 for US companies (though they can also issue no par value shares).
Federally incorporated Canadian companies by contrast can only issue no par value shares. Provincially incorporated companies can issue shares with a par value which can be helpful in tax planning, estate freezes and unique preferred share issues.
So the short answer to your question is that the 5,000, simply denotes how many shares you have, but the "no par value" part is for all intents and purposes irrelevant and only means that the shares were initially created with no par value. It's an aspect of the shares that's really only relevant to the company's accountants.
What is the difference between stock share and security?
Security is a broader term which includes shares as well. There are two types of securities, Equity security and Debt Security.

The dictionary meaning of security is something which is secured.
But equity shares are not secured i.e., equity shareholders are repaid their money only after the Company repays the pref shareholders and other pref creditors and only if the company has enough money to repay it.
