Everything in the stock market is publicly traded, thats the only way to get into the stock market.

examples : Microsoft, Nike, Yahoo!, GE, the list goes on.

You can also search for Initial Public Offerings for companies that are about to become publicly traded. One big one coming this month is Hertz. The Hertz division was part of Ford, which sold it and now they are going to become public, and probably crush Ford in the near future.

Hanes (HBI) clothing just spun off from Sara Lee. Technically any company that has stock is a publically traded company.

Coca Cola, Ford Motor Company, Toyota, General Motors, Yahoo, IBM, Microsoft, Bank of America, Bebe (clothes), Sony and Matel (toys) are some examples of publically traded companies. A famous private company is Subway.

Mastercard (MA) and Vonage (VG) both went public about six months ago. The reason I give you these stocks is to show you that not all IPO’s go in the same direction.

Burger King (BKC) is another recent one. If you look at their chart, you’ll see that one’s different too!

Here are links to all three charts.

Hope that helps answer your question!

All equities traded on the stock markets are publicly traded companies. Perhaps you’re asking about successful IPOs? Anyway, rephrase your question, it’s silly and dumb as it is.
