How To Buy Shares In Guyana

Say you are interested in buying shares in Company A whose shares are traded on the exchange. You contact one of the Brokers of your choice. The Broker may require you to set up an account with them. Once you have an account, you indicate that you wish to trade by placing an order. This may be by simply calling your Broker and placing your order over the phone. However, typically a Broker will require that you deposit the consideration for the shares (if buying) or lodge the share certificate (if selling) before they will deal on your behalf. The Broker then records your order on their order log which contains details of the order such as your name, order reference, date, time the order was made, quantity, status (buy or sell) and price.

The trade report is given to the Market Official who checks it thoroughly to ensure its validity and then he enters it into the system as a confirmed trade and generates a market contract. The market contract together with the details of the seller prepared by the selling Broker forms the transfer form which provides the customer with proof of ownership of shares bought.

Dollar cost averaging is the technique of buying a fixed dollar amount of a particular investment on a regular schedule, regardless of the share price. More shares are purchased when prices are low, and fewer shares are bought when prices are high. Eventually, the average cost per share of the security will become smaller and smaller. Dollar-cost averaging lessens the risk of investing a large amount in a single investment at the wrong time.

One of the oldest and most traditional ways to invest is to buy stocks and shares in a company, which form the asset class more commonly known as equities. An equity investment generally refers to the buying and holding of shares of stock on the stock market by individuals and firms in anticipation of income from dividends and capital gains, as the value of the stock rises. Historically, equities have outperformed safer investments like bank accounts and bonds and can act as the real driver for growth in your investment portfolio.

However, investment in shares exposes you to the potential to lose some, or all, of your money. Shares are seen as the riskiest asset class, so you should take extreme care when you consider investing in equities and the different types available.

A security is a negotiable financial instrument that represents some type of financial value. Securities are typically divided into debt securities and equities. A debt security is a type of security that represents money that is borrowed that must be repaid, with terms that define the amount borrowed, interest rate and maturity/renewal date. Debt securities include government and corporate bonds, certificates of deposit (CDs) and preferred stock. Equities typically represent stock/shares in various companies.

Usually Credit Unions operate by taking money from its members, on one hand, and lending it to members on the other hand. Generally, loans are offered at lower interest rates than commercial banks. The Credit Union uses your shares as collateral for the loan.

The Stock Exchange began trading on July 8, 2003 at which time the market value was approximately $17.7 billion. As at June 2021, the market value of shares has grown to $439.6 billion (GASCI, 2021). Since its inception, there have been 921 trading sessions. Trading is executed on Mondays at 10:00 am or on Wednesdays, whenever a public holiday falls on Monday. It is done through registered brokers who buy and sell shares on the stock market. These firms are, The Trust Company (Guyana) Ltd, Guyana Americas Merchant Bank Inc, Beharry Stockbrokers Ltd and Hand-in-Hand Trust Corporation Inc (formerly GNCB Trust Corporation Inc). Trades are executed via word of mouth on the trading floor supported by an electronic limit order book.

The Guyana dollar is fully convertible and transferable. According to the Bank of Guyana Half Year Report 2011, the average exchange rate is US$1 to GY$204 at the end of June 2011 (www.bankofguyana.org.gy/). There are no limits on inflows or repatriation of funds, although there are spot shortages of foreign currency. Regulations also require that all persons leaving and entering Guyana declare all currency in excess of US$10,000 to Customs authorities at the port of entry. There is no limit to the acquisition of foreign currency, although the government limits the amount that a number of state-owned firms may keep for their own purchases. Regulations on foreign currency denominated bank accounts in Guyana allow funds to be wired in and out of the country electronically without having to go through cumbersome exchange procedures. Foreign companies operating in Guyana have experienced no government induced difficulties in repatriating earnings in recent years.

The right of foreigners to own property or land in Guyana is specifically protected under the Constitution. Private entities may freely acquire and dispose of interests in business enterprises, although some newly privatized entities have limits on the number of shares that may be acquired by any one individual or entity (domestic or foreign). Similarly, the articles of association of some firms prohibit the issuance of more than a certain number of share transfers to any one individual or company in an effort to prevent attempts to gain control of such companies in the secondary market.

The GoG encourages companies to finance new operations by offering shares on Guyana's stock market. In 2003, the Guyana Association of Securities Companies and Intermediaries Inc. (GASCI) , registered with the Guyana Securities Council to operate a stock exchange and an association of securities companies and intermediaries. Its members, the stockbrokers who compete against each other in share trading, own GASCI. GASCI relies on trades to support the exchange's operations. The small volumes traded, however, have been insufficient to meet organizational expenses. Consequently, the association has struggled to maintain adequate staffing levels.

Let's face it a tiny company with little or no revenue, like CGX, has absolutely no business doing deepwater exploration. Without Frontera fronting the cost for the Kawa-1 well, it wouldn't be happening. Frontera has advanced CGX $19 mm for its share of the cost of drilling Kawa-1, and has the option to convert this debt into shares of CGX at a rate of $0.71 per share. For that matter, Frontera, with an enterprise value of $900 mm, has no real business doing deepwater exploration either.ADVERTISEMENT

I think CGX presents a compelling investment case at current prices. They have no real income at this point so usual financial metrics are unavailable. With 287 mm common shares outstanding, the company has a capitalization of roughly $355 mm.

TORONTO and FUJIAN, China, June 12, 2020 /CNW/ - Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd (SSE: 601899) (SEHK: 2899) (\"Zijin\") and Guyana Goldfields Inc. (TSX: GUY) (\"Guyana Goldfields\") are pleased to announce that they have entered into a binding arrangement agreement (the \"Zijin Arrangement Agreement\"), pursuant to which Zijin will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Guyana Goldfields (each, a \"Guyana Common Share\") by way of a plan of arrangement (the \"Zijin Arrangement\"), for cash consideration of C$1.85 for each Guyana Common Share, valuing Guyana Goldfields at approximately C$323 million.

As noted in its press release on June 3, 2020, Guyana Goldfields received a binding proposal from Zijin to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Guyana Common Shares and notified Silvercorp that this offer constituted a \"Superior Proposal\" in accordance with the terms of the Silvercorp Arrangement Agreement. Silvercorp elected not to exercise its right to match and, as a result, Guyana Goldfields terminated the Silvercorp Arrangement Agreement in accordance with its terms and entered into the Zijin Arrangement Agreement. Based on the closing price of the Silvercorp common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange as of June 3, 2020, the Zijin Arrangement represents a premium of approximately 35% to the implied value of the consideration offered pursuant to the Silvercorp Arrangement Agreement.

You should be able to buy US shares through most brokerage accounts. Buying shares in US dollars incurs a foreign exchange fee (typically around 1%) unless you fund the purchase from a US dollar account.

You will be asked to complete a W-8BEN form (valid for three years) which allows you to benefit from a reduction in withholding tax for qualifying US dividends and interest from 30% to 15%. Holding US shares also carries exposure to foreign exchange risk. If the pound strengthens against the dollar, your shares will be worth less in sterling (and vice versa).
