Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

The stock market exists for large corporations to open their capital to investors. Here's how it works, a large, high-value business that has a homeowner or group of homeowners decides to open up so that other people (investors) can get part of their property as well. Then the company is divided many stocks that will be traded in the stock market. Buyers will be entitled to participate in the company's profits, according to the proportion of shares they have bought. For the company this is a great alternative to getting resources to expand operations and make investments. Small companies do not participate in this market because their market value is small, so it would not be feasible to split them into shares.
