What Is Dual-Class Stock? Buy Signal or Red Flag?

Visible to anyone in the world

What is dual-class stock? This could be a buy signal — or a red flag. Dual-class stock is when a company issues two classes of shares — one with voting rights, one without. Founders keep the voting shares, the public gets the non-voting shares. If you trust the founder, it's a buy signal. If you don't, it's a red flag. This is what we teach in Module 1.1 — What is a share and what is the float. https://youtu.be/61fkt2b7Vbc
