Ownership[ of the team and how much probably determines what kind of season tickets you might be able to get in the future not to mention you ensure the team stays in green bay.

Green Bay Packers, Inc., has been a publicly owned, nonprofit corporation since Aug. 18, 1923, when original articles of incorporation were filed with Wisconsin’s secretary of state.

A total of 4,750,937 shares is owned by 112,158 stockholders none of whom receives any dividend on the initial investment.

The corporation is governed by a board of directors and a seven member executive committee.

One of the more remarkable business stories in American history, the team is kept viable by its shareholders — its unselfish fans. Even more incredible, the Packers have survived during the current era, permeated by free agency and the NFL salary cap. And, thanks in large part to Brown County’s passage of the 2000 Lambeau Field referendum, the club will remain solvent and highly competitive well into the future due to its redeveloped stadium.

Fans have come to the team’s financial rescue on several occasions, including four previous stock sales: 1923, 1935, 1950 and 1997.

To protect against someone taking control of the team, the articles of incorporation prohibit any person from owning more than 200,000 shares.



So, if you read that you will see there were no dividends paid on the initial investment. If you read further you will find that fan come to the rescue of the team with their investments. This would lead me to believe there is money lost by the fans that buy stock. Tessa needs to steer you away from this. You are not wealth yet. Owning this stock would INMHO be akin to investing your money into the team as a hobby with no expectations of ever seeing any return.

How can you not lose or gain money with a stock and what is the point in having it?



You cannot gain or lose money. It cant be traded, it doesnt do anything value wise, there are no dividends. All money from the Packers goes back into the team and community. You do get voting rights, some other frills, and you do own a part of the Green Bay Packers.

I bet it all goes by seniority.

Oh, you would get a dividend....if they made any money. It was only the initial investors that were excluded from profits.

For his sake, I hope he does it. For her sake, I hope he doesn't.

Just tell her you will get her pregnant again otherwise. That should scare her straight.

Whenever I want to buy something of worth for myself I tell my wife she can go buy whatever she wants for the same dollar value. "Tell" is a bad word. We decide she can.
