If you are considering investing in the stock market, it pays to learn the differences between the various types of shares you can buy. If you assume all shares are the same, you might end up buying something you don’t really want. Let’s take a look at the different types of stocks that are available.

Float – these are the most popular types of shares you will come across. The float is basically the amount of shares that are ready to be bought by the general public. They are in use and available. Think of the float in a cash till and you will see that the same idea applies here.

Restricted – as the name suggests, these shares have restrictions placed on them. This doesn’t mean they cannot be bought, but the Securities and Exchange Commission must give their approval to such a purchase before it can take place.

Outstanding – these shares are what the company has released for purchase. So the above two types – the float and the restricted shares – can both be added together to form the number of outstanding shares which are available.

Authorized – this is the number of shares the company first started off with. It should be noted that this won’t necessarily be the same as the number of shares available to be bought. For example a company may agree initially to release one million shares. But it could be that only nine hundred thousand of those shares will be available to be bought, either in restricted or float shares.

Unissued – the name tells us what these shares are. Let’s think about the above example again, and the company which created a million shares to begin with. We have already seen that the company has issued nine hundred thousand shares in the form of float and restricted shares. The remaining one hundred thousand shares would be kept back and regarded as unissued shares – simply because they were not issued in the first place.

As you can see, although the different types of stocks look complex to begin with, they are really all quite easy to understand. And there is no doubt that understanding what all the different types of shares mean will help you enormously when it comes to investing in them for the future.
