What does it mean to be a shareholder? You might say “pride of ownership” tops your list. And to that, we’d say kudos. But what about the tangible stuff? The ol’ nuts and bolts? How is owning a share of Disney stock different than, say, a framed Disney poster? That’s where the OneShare Start-Up Kit comes in – the one-stop shop for your most burning shareholder questions.
The OneShare Owner’s Manual details what it means to be a shareholder, from voting rights and annual reports to more lighthearted tips like how to install and care for your new stock certificate. The Quick Reference Guide is our roadmap to ownership. For stock as a gift, it’s a great way to say “You have your very own stock certificate on its way!”
The OneShare Kit has been a hit since it was introduced in the winter of 2007. In the words of Lance, our fearless OneShare leader, “People love the OneShare Start-up Kit! They find it a clever take on stock ownership – seeing their stock playfully satirized as standard merchandise, complete with an Owner’s Manual and Reference Card.”
And for last minute shoppers (trust us, we’ve been there), the short shipping time is icing on the cake. We like to think of the Start-Up Kit as a gift in itself. So if you’re just sitting down to do your holiday shopping, they’ll still have something special to open Christmas morning. By the time their stock certificate arrives, they’ll be savvy and set as responsible stock owners.
Order shares by December 17 for guaranteed holiday delivery on the OneShare Start-up Kit.

So when will we be able to buy shares of oneshare?
Hi Charla,
We’ll take your comment as a compliment! In short, we can only sell shares of publicly traded companies — so, if OneShare goes on the market, you can bet we’ll put a lot of thought into the design of our own stock certificates

i have a 1927 installment certificate. its a class n installment stock for 10 shares. where do i cash it in? can you help please?
Hey there Ben, I’ll respond to your question here because this article’s newer than the other article you posted to, and other readers are more likely to see it here. Cashing stock certificates (especially older certificates) is a little outside our realm of expertise, but maybe another reader has dealt with something similar in the past? Any suggestions for Ben?
