The American Express Company (Amex) is a global financial services corporation headquartered at 200 Vesey Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City. Founded in 1850, Amex is one of the 30 companies included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Its iconic logo, introduced in 1958, features a gladiator or centurion, a symbol prominently displayed on its well-known traveler's cheques, charge cards, and credit cards. In the 1980s, Amex expanded into the brokerage industry by acquiring what later became Shearson Lehman Hutton. Over time, these assets were divested, resulting in the creation of Smith Barney Shearson (under Primerica) and a revived Lehman Brothers. By 2008, both the Shearson and Lehman brands had disappeared.
A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
