A few notes:
1.The share system exists in EVE, though underdeveloped, there isn't even a stock market.
2.This thread was made to make a more detailed counterpart to the thread here: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=703798#post703798
Lets start then 
A corp for sale:
After you have created a corp, you can put your corp on the stock market. (More on that later)
You will need to specify how much money you need, and how many shares will be available.
Then the game calculates the price of each share by simply doing (Money needed) / (Shares amount) = [ndividual share prices]
So lets say I set the amount of money needed to 150,000,000,000, and I make 150,000 shares, each share will cost 1,000,000 ISK. (These are only initial prices, after it goes on the market stuff can go wild)
After you click accept, your corp will be put on the stock market, and your corp name will be shown along with the price of a single share (calculated by the average, more on that later).
You may also become a privately held corp, where only a select few people are allowed to buy and sell shares between each other.
The stock market:
This is where all the trading happens.
It will have three tabs:
1.Is where new shares that are still owned by the company will be bought.
2.Is where shares that are sold by players will be sold.
3.Is where shares that people want to buy from a specific company will be.
This is very much like the EVE market, where prices are set by the players and other players have to buy it.
Or players say they want to buy "X" thing at "Y" price and then another player sells them that item for that price.
etc'
You will also be able to filter by price, corporation and alliance. (The alliance option will show all corporations within that alliance)
Instead of showing every share on sale individually, the market will show corporation names, to the left there will be how many shares are on sale and to the left of that will be the average current price of a share.
The differences between a corp on the stock market and one that isn't:
When you go on the stock market, a few things change.
First of all, the founder of the corp is no longer the CEO/can't pick a CEO.
He also can't pick directors.
What will happen is this:
The investors will monthly pick a CEO and 4-12 directors.
The people who they pick can be both from the corporation and out of it.
The directors can even be from a different corporation, as well as the CEO.
The voting screen will allow you to search for a name and vote for that name, and the people who are currently leading the votes will be shown on another tab.
That means if you are not careful, an enemy corp can buy 51%+ of your shares and practically own you.
The directors and CEO's will NOT be able to disband the corp, but they can still do everything else.
Also, the weight of each vote is different.
If a person owns 50% of the shares, his vote will have the same weight as 50 people that each have 1% of the share.
How will shareholders profit from it?
A corp may either pay monthly dividends and each shareholder will get an amount corresponding to the percentage of shares he owns (If you decide to pay 1,000,000, the one who owns 50% of the shares will get 500,00 ISK, etc'), or shareholders may buy low and sell high like people are already doing with items in EVE Online.
How will the corp investors know how much the corp is worth?
Each month, corp statistics will be updated and in those statistics will be shown:
Current CEO
The directors of the corp
Total ISK in all of wallets. (Each wallet is shown separately, and at the top of all the wallets is where you will find the total)
Income sources (Tax, Planetary Interaction, Donations etc')
Percentage of increase in the amount of money earned/spent from last month
And finally notes that the CEO writes, and then smaller notes that each director writes.
THIS INFORMATION WILL BE PUBLIC, EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE IT
Also, shareholders who have 10% of the corp shares can view statistics each week instead of each month.
Can my corp go out of the stock market?
The option will only be available once 100% of all the shares are owned by the founder of the corp.
Once he has all of the shares, he can change the corp back to a normal corp.
P.S
If I didn't mention something you want to know, you are more than welcome to ask, I will add it to the post. |

If Dust will get it EVE will get it.
They're connected, so it will need to have both. |

And why is that way better?
They're both valid. |

The way you stated it, it sounded as if one person could just vote the CEO out. As if someone who bought 0.1% of the company could now do whatever he wanted with the leadership.
If the shareholders want their investment to die they can pick a nobody.
They own you if you go to the stock market, they can do whatever. |

If the shareholders want their investment to die they can pick a nobody. They own you if you go to the stock market, they can do whatever. On the contrary, a shareholder does not own the corp, only a small percentage, unless they buy many, many shares. Depending on how many shares there are on the market, and how much the corp is giving in terms of company ownership, one share could equal as little as 0.001% of the company. This means that someone with one share would have a very small in how the company is run, almost nothing. So some newberry who decides to buy one stock shouldn't be able to wreck an entire corp
If you have 0.001% and the CEO is demoted, the CEO is doing it wrong.
Really, really, wrong. |

The only thing i don't agree is the part on the CEO and directors, too much power in the hand of unknown people, they can decide to kick out a lot of gamers out of a corp or steal the Isk of the corporation.
That's the risk of raising funds.
If you do it wrong, your corp is screwed. |
