Papule and Plaque. A papule (/ËpÃ¦pjuËl/) is a circumscribed, solid elevation of skin with no visible fluid, varying in size from a pinhead to 1 cm. It can be brown, purple, pink or red in color, and can cluster into a papular rash. Papules may open when scratched and become infected and crusty.
Stock is an equity investment that represents part ownership in a corporation and entitles you to part of that corporation's earnings and assets. Common stock gives shareholders voting rights but no guarantee of dividend payments. Preferred stock provides no voting rights but usually guarantees a dividend payment.
BREAKING DOWN 'Penny Stock'. The term penny stock has evolved with the market. In the past, penny stocks were stocks that traded for less than a dollar per share. The SEC, however, has modified the definition to include all shares trading below $5. Most penny stocks donât trade on the major market exchanges. However, there are some large companies, based on market capitalization, that trade below $5 per share on the main exchanges like the Nasdaq. An example of a penny stock listed on the Nasdaq is Curis Inc. (CRIS), a small biotechnology company.
