Also remember: Not all of a company's stock is
available for purchase on the stock market. Let's say a
company is made up of a total of 10,000,000 shares... but...
the people who run the company believe in it very strongly...
and... they want to make sure they maintain control. There
might be only 3,000,000 of those shares available for
"outsiders" to buy from one of the stock exchanges.
Those 3,000,000 shares, by the way, are called "the
float." In other words, "the float" is the
number of shares available for public purchase.
Small companies, of course, have the greatest
potential for share price appreciation. Recently, Pfitzer, a massive
company, made front-page news all over the world because it
has just secured FDA approval to market a potency pill taken
orally just like an aspirin and, in just 30 minutes, it makes
it possible for pathetic guys like me to once again have a
"woody."
By the way, since I
haven't been able to depend on getting an erection for so many
decades now, you know what I started doing about 10 years ago?
I started carrying a small polaroid camera with me at all
times... and... if I get even a momentary erection, I take an
instant photo of it and write the date on the back of the
photo. That way, just in case it's the last one I ever get,
I'll have a record of it.
Plus, those photos save
me a lot of embarrassment. Let's say I'm on a date (blue moons
are more frequent) and things start getting hot and heavy.
But, my little soldier won't stand up and salute and the woman
I'm with starts to make fun of me and saying cruel things
like, "Hah! You're supposed to be such a stud and you
can't even get it up!"
It used to be dreadfully
embarrassing for me. But, not anymore. Nope, now all I have to
do is whip out my dated polaroid and show it to my date, smile
smugly and say, "Oh yeah? Well, guess what? I used
to be able to get it up and here's PROOF!"
