Ordinary share is a type of security that represents ownership in a corporation. 🏢 Holders of ordinary shares have the right to vote on important company decisions, such as electing board members and approving mergers. Ordinary stockholders also have the potential to receive dividends, although dividends are not guaranteed.

An example of a ordinary share is Apple Inc. (AAPL), which is traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange. 📱

Fun fact: Ordinary stockholders are last in line when it comes to claims on a company's assets in case of bankruptcy. 💸 Bondholders and preferred stockholders have priority, making common stock a riskier investment compared to other types of securities.
