Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Examining the statements about shares, we assess each for alignment with common definitions and practice.
Option 1: 'Shares are also called stocks or equities.' This is accurate, as the terms shares, stocks, and equities are often used interchangeably in many markets to denote ownership interests in a company.
Option 2: 'When a company pays out profits to shareholders it is called a dividend.' This is correct; a dividend is a distribution of a portion of a company’s earnings to its shareholders.
Option 3: 'When an individual buys or sells shares they normally do so directly on a Stock Exchange.' In modern markets, most retail and many institutional investors trade through brokers or electronic trading platforms rather than placing orders directly on the exchange itself; the wording implies direct exchange trades, which is a less accurate depiction of typical practice.
Option 4: 'Shares in a company represent a part ownership of that company.' This statement is true, as owning shares conveys ownership rights proportional to the shareholding in the company.
Reframing the options, the third statement stands out as the least consistent with current typical market mechanics, where intermediary channels (brokers, exchanges, and electronic systems) mediate most share transactions rather than direct exchange dealings by individual investors.
