In real life, many investors very often do not know the differences between classic actions or do not have a good choice to follow the choice of stock [[options]]. Very often they use the [[knowledge]] of other people, e.g. [[financial planner]] (Ch. Jones 2003, p. 78).  
== Class A, class B, class C ==
* '''Class A''' - are common stocks and each share is the same as others. This is one of the traditional type of class of shares "with a front-end sales charge". This stock is usually given to a [[management]] team. Thanks to this, control over the company remains in senior management. Owning class A of shares provides many benefits like [[dividend]] priority. Class A shares are not publicly sold and cannot be in public circulation (Ch. Jones 2003, p. 78). They are recommended for individual investors. Buying shares involves the payment of commissions, and in this class, they are lower than in others.

* '''Class B''' - this share may have more or fewer votes than class A of shares. Shares of this class usually have a smaller dividend priority than class A of shares(F. Glasgow 2011, chapter 10). Buying these shares does not involve additional fees, except for the sale [[price]]. Class B actions can be changed to Class A actions (only long-term shares), but the reverse is not possible (Ch.
