Securities market: structure and functions

The classification of securities is primarily determined by their intended purpose, which in turn determines the conditions of issue, quotation and their profitability. On this basis, securities are divided into:

1) shares of private companies, mixed and state companies;

2) bonds of private companies, mixed and public companies and corporations;

3) government bonds issued by the central government and local authorities.

shares serve three main purposes. Firstly, their release is necessary when organizing a joint-stock company in order to provide a new enterprise with a certain initial capital for the development of economic activity. Secondly, this is the attraction of additional financial resources already in the course of economic activity. Thirdly, the issue of shares is used for an exchange for the purpose of merging with another company. The profitability of shares is determined solely by the payment of dividends on them.

Bonds issued by companies serve the sole purpose of raising funds to renew fixed capital, replace equipment, and expand production capacity. As a rule, bonds are issued in three cases, when corporations or companies do not have enough own financial sources (profit and depreciation) to expand their economic activities.

A feature of bonds issued by companies is differentiated terms: from one or more years. Bond yields are usually determined by the annual interest payment (which is quite high).

The next important type of securities are bonds issued by the central government and local governments, usually to cover budget deficits. The fact is that the executive branch does not have enough tax revenues to balance its budget expenditures, and money emission leads to inflation. Therefore, an important additional element of cost coverage is government loans, i.e., the issue of bonds by various levels of executive power (central and local) for different periods - from several weeks to several years. Depending on the period of issue of bonds, their income fluctuates, that is, the percentage paid to buyers by the state.

Thus, the securities market, depending on the type of securities, is divided into markets for shares, private bonds and government bonds. The last two are sometimes called the bond market. Between these types of securities there is constant competition in terms of profitability, that is, we are talking about the ratio of dividend on shares to interest paid on private and government bonds, on the one hand, and the ratio between interest on private and government bonds, on the other.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Pollen batteries 25.02.2016

Pollen is a burden for bees and suffering for allergy sufferers. But it can also serve as an effective way for us to store energy. Researchers have figured out how to turn pollen grains into anodes, the components of batteries.

In order to turn the pollen into anodes, the scientists heated the pollen to the point where it turns into carbon using a pyrolysis process. Unlike ordinary combustion, this process takes place without oxygen, and the pollen does not ignite, but turns into biochar, which retains the shape of the pollen. Then it is heated again with the participation of oxygen, this process increases the amount of stored energy in the anodes.

The pollen anodes are designed to fill the space currently occupied by graphite anodes in typical lithium-ion batteries.

The researchers tested two different types of pollen: one collected from bees, where pollen from different plants is found, and one from reeds, which has a more uniform structure. It turned out that reed pollen has slightly higher indicators than bee pollen, but it is much easier to collect pollen from bees. In the future, the researchers plan to conduct experiments on the use of such anodes in real batteries. "We've basically created an interesting concept now," says researcher Vilas Pol. "Only further work will show how practical it will be."
