Syndicate
Stocks can also be:
Ordinary: those that bear classic rights.
Privileged: stocks that bear certain privileges in topics such as the distribution of dividends or the right to vote. A special case is the so called gold stock that confers important rights (name one or two counselors, or hold back decisions that essential subjects). This type of stock exists in some private companies that provide public services.
Without the right to vote: stocks in which the stockholder has economic rights, but not the right to vote.
Syndicated: when they cannot be freely transferred, but they have to be offered first to the current stockholders. Stock syndication can be statuary matter, or an agreement among stockholders that pretend to keep the present controlling position. To quote in the market there cannot be any limits to freely transfer, that is to say, there cannot exist a statuaery syndication nor syndication agreements are admissible.
Quoting stocks in the market provides liquidity to the investor, since he cqan sell the stocks previously bought at any time.
Among all the stocks quoted in the market, blue chips, or featuring values are the feature ones. These correspond to the best companies that are usually more profitable and steady than the rest.
Very different from the blue chips are the drop-lock stocks. These are second level stocks that go up and down in a fast way as a consequence of rumors that have normally no foundation.
The investor can profit from its investment through dividends, from the added value received for selling the stocks in case these have increased their value, by selling the rights in the capital increase and with the rent subscription of stocks.
