| Hello Sir. I see you're standing in front of the city's largest corporations. Can you tell me anything about it? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Not really. I've heard the terms: closed corporation, open corporation, & prospectus, but I have no idea what they mean. | |
 | |  |

|
 | |  |
| Well, sir, a closed corporation is one that doesn't offer it's shares of stock for public sale. And a prospectus is a formal summary of the chief features of the business and its stock offering. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| You left out open corporation. What is that? | |
 | |  |
|
|
|

|
|
|
 | |  |
| An open corporation, which is what you're currently in, is one that offers its shares of stock for public sale. You should go buy some now! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| That sounds like a great idea! I'm going to go buy some shares right now! | |
