Wall Street

I purchase the stock with my own money.The stock is just a piece of paper.The money either sits in a Wall Street account or in a company bank account.If the stock value goes down the loss comes out of my wallet.If it goes up the increase comes from when I sell the stock.If I can't sell the stock then it is worth whatever I paid for it.I see that I own just the piece of paper.The company stands alone without stock as the owner's company.The stock is just a method for the company to get working capital.When my company offers stock it takes a chance of being controlled by the investors.I could loose my company in a violent takeover.When I offer stock I actually SELL my business.I go through all of the moves to reduce my company to a dollar value then sell my company to the investors.What is the advantage?Nobody would ever sell their company in this manner.Wall Street raises the price of sweet crude and I loose my company.
