The South didn't see a problem in almost everyone growing the same few cash crops. They were in high demand, especially cotton. They were all making good money. The idea to diversify seemed silly and dangerous. Here was something that was working and making them more than enough. To stop and venture into something different would be expensive and possibly fail.
A paradox is a statement or a concept that seems to be self-contradictory. In Logic, a paradox is a statement that contradicts itself. In everyday language, a paradoxical statement might only seem contradictory, it could be a sound. For example:<span>I always lie. (Logic)(This would be accepted as a paradox in the Logic arena. If it's true, then it's not true.)</span>
The correct answer is: "Companies are selling shares of ownership and a share of its profits in exchange for money it can use to operate their business."
Shares are fractions of a corporation's social capital, which is equally divided in many pieces. Each of these shares is traded in stock markets. When investors buy stock from a company, they become owners of the company in the same proportion that the number of shares bought represents of the total social capital. Stockholders will make profit by receiving, every year, a percentage of the total profit generated by the company. The amount received is called dividend.
Moreover, stock investors can also make money by selling the shares at a higher price than the buying price. If the company functions properly and keeps on generating profits, the value of its stock in the financial markets will rise.
