In short, The New Buffettology is an essential companion to the original Buffettology, a road map to investment success in the worst of times. Putting Buffettology to Work for You. Thus, kings soon realized that it was in their best interest to limit the power of organized capital; they created laws that forbade the organization of joint-stock companies without the approval of the crown.
Early examples of crown-approved joint-stock companies are the East India Company and the Hudson's Bay Company, both with colorful and fascinating histories. It was an extraordinary business operation that paid high dividends for a time, but its earnings were necessarily precarious, for they came not from the ordinary operations of commerce and colonization but from armed attacks on the Spanish silver fleets. The character of the company is evident in its charter, which actually opposed peace between the Netherlands and Spain.
In reality it was a corporation of pirates who gathered the capital of their investors to build and staff pirate ships to rob Spanish ships carrying gold and silver from the New World.
And those people on Wall Street think they know how to conduct a hostile takeover! The meager amounts of capital that the butcher, barmaid, cobbler, or day laborer saved were placed into hiding, and no one profited from their savings. This was due in part to the medieval religious doctrine that made it wrong to take interest on loans, but this doctrine lost its force when it appeared that loans were wanted by merchants, the pope, and kings.
Thus the ruling class concluded that it was wise to encourage lending money by permitting the lender to take interest for it. There is, however, a great difference between the lending of money by an ordinary individual who has more than he or she knows what to do with and the business of lending as practiced by a banker.
The difference is this— the banker has made lending a profession. The banker steps in between the people who have capital but lack the ability or inclination to employ their savings profitably and the people who have the ability and inclination to conduct business enterprises but lack the desirable amount of capital.
The banker is a specialist in this profession, and by his or her special knowledge can do more than anyone else to collect the surplus capital and place it where it can be used to the best advantage. Thus even the teenager working at a summer job can profitably employ his or her saved capital by entrusting it to the local banker, who will then loan out the money to a member of the community who is willing to commit legally to paying back the money plus interest.
A banker spends a lifetime making money off the spread between the interest he pays the individual depositor and what he can lend the money for. One person's paycheck may not seem like much, but multiply that by fifty thousand depositors and the numbers start to grow. So a bank is really a large pool of people who have loaned their money to the bank in exchange for a portion of what the bank can earn reloaning the money to other individuals and businesses.
When banks loan money, anyone who borrows that money is in debt. Businesspeople abhor debt because if things go bad and business gets slow the bank may foreclose and liquidate the business.
Many businesspeople prefer to finance their operations by selling to the public partial ownership interests in their operations, called equity or stock. In the days of old, these transactions were done in what is called a market. A market back then was a specific place, designated by the local authorities, in which business transactions could take place.
The reason for this was to create a public record of the transaction. It also ensured that the government could efficiently collect its taxes from the merchants doing business.
Markets were designated for certain days at specific sites, and anyone caught trading outside these boundaries would have his goods confiscated. One of the markets that developed was the stock market, a place in which partial ownership interests in different companies were traded between different investors. The New York Stock Exchange is the modern equivalent of the markets of old. This is what Wall Street is about. Instead of a bank asking individuals to loan it money so that it can loan it to a business, a very special kind of bank called an investment bank, like Merrill Lynch or Salomon Brothers, acts as middleman for a business looking for wealthy individuals or institutions to invest in it.
The investment may be in the form of a loan, which would manifest itself by the company selling a bond to an investor. Or the company may choose to sell an ownership interest— stock— to the investor. The investment bank finds the individuals and institutions willing to buy the bonds or stocks of the company seeking to raise the money. The investment bank makes its money by charging a fee for the amount of capital it can raise for the business.
When General Motors wants to raise a large sum of money for plant expansion, it can go to one of the investment banks, like Salomon Brothers or Merrill Lynch, and have them sell to investors a GM bond debt or stock ownership interest in the company.
The first time that a business sells an ownership interest to the public, it is called an initial public offering, or IPO. The second time, it is called a secondary offering. Once stock is sold to the public, individual investors who own it may become enthusiastic or pessimistic about the future of the company and either buy more of the stock or sell it, depending on how they feel about the business's prospects. The New York Stock Exchange is a place where people gather to buy and sell ownership interests, or stocks, that were once sold to the public by a business through an investment bank.
It is an auction market, where buyer and seller gather. The buyer bids a price and the seller asks a price, and when they meet, a transaction occurs and the ownership interest changes hands. He is either trying to raise money for General Motors or he is acting as an intermediary between you and another investor, who wants to sell his General Motors stock.
With one sale your Merrill Lynch broker is earning a commission by raising money for General Motors. With the other he is earning a commission for bringing a buyer and a seller together.
Naturally, stockbrokers tend to be very enthusiastic people because if there isn't a transaction, they don't earn a commission. Let's call it Katie's Baking Company. To get the money to start the business, you can either borrow from friends or a bank or you can sell stock to investors. Stock represents ownership in the business, and debt represents only a promise to pay. In order to sell shares in a company, you must have incorporated the business. That means you file incorporation documents with the department of corporations in the state of incorporation.
