The objective of the thesis is to characterize the importance of information and consequently also of knowledge as the bases for active dealing in the stock market. The fundamental terms of information credibility, disinformation and information asymmetry, which have a cardinal effect on behaviour of particular participants of the market, are mentioned in the thesis. The theory of effective markets and the factors due to which it is not able to explain the development and the real state of the contemporary stock markets, are analysed in more detail in the thesis. A considerable part of the thesis is devoted to the analysis and the definition of information need as a basic requirement for making successful investment decisions of an individual, whereas ways to its fulfilment are implied -- including a description and a division of available information sources. The description and the analysis of several dealing strategies which are directly based on usage of various kinds of information are not missing in the thesis. A part of the work is a presentation and an analysis of the results of a research made among real investors.

In the first chapter of my diploma thesis, I try to show some general patterns concerning the securities and I also deal with the classification of securities and with the question of emitting the securities. In the second chapter, I pay my attention to the theme of shares as basic participant securities and I also try to clarify some other terms such as joint-stock companies, negotiable papers or rights of minority shareholders. In the following part of my thesis, I deal with the theme of interim certificates and I also try to explain the process of their exchanging for shares. In the next chapter, I pay my attention to the theme of additional securities (stock warrants, time warrants). In the semi-final chapter of my thesis, I deal with the theme of bonds (priority bonds, exchangeable bonds, mortgage debenture bonds). In the last part of my thesis, I try to compare the current legal form (concerning the securities) to that which shall come into force by 1. 1. 2014.

The aim of this work was to present the issue of neural network, which is still, despite the fact it exist and has been applied for several years, remains quite unknown for a considerably big part of public and academical environment. The aim of the practical part was to verify via practical application if neural network are truly a better instrument of statistical analysis, than the commonly used ones, especially when the goal is to analyze and describe complex processes and relationships between them. Further aim of the work was to investigate and describe the relationships between the development of trading volumes of Apple shares and the shares of competitive companies regarding the market of smart phones such as Google, HTC, Nokia, Samsung using neural network models. The attainment of these goals was realized through a rather extensive description of neural networks theory as well as the presentation of valuable theoretical tools for avoiding the frequent barriers occurring during the practical implementation. This practical application was realized via software called R, which has widely spread lately due to its availability and a vast range of flexibility, which is provided to users. The value of this work is familiarization and the creation of an integrated knowledge within readers about the issue of neural networks and the deliverance of a proof, that neural networks are indeed a better tool compared to the commonly used ones (ARMA models, linear regression). The author of the work gained a lot of useful knowledge about neural networks, learned how to use them in practice especially in the environment of R software, by which he shifted his proficiency with the current software to a whole new level.

The theme of this diploma thesis is "Contracting autonomy in construction of types of shares and its limits". It aimed to analyse the domestic legal regulation. Its effort was to set limits in the construction of types of shares. This was achieved especially through grammatical, logical, systematical and teleological interpretation of legal regulation, with help of law doctrine, and on the smaller scale by comparisons with foreign legal systems. It succeeded in analysing key provisions and setting limits that cannot be crossed when constructing types of shares. The aim of the diploma thesis was therefore fulfilled. It is stated that certain disputes arising from different interpretations of the same provision will be eliminated by amendment of legal regulation of business corporations which will in consequence strengthen legal certainty of participants of these legal relationships. The first chapter deals with concept and definition of share, as a part of registered capital of corporation, as a set of shareholder rights and obligations, and as a security. The second chapter handles the historical genesis of kinds of shares that could be constructed under the old legislation. Subsequently, it describes types of shares that are explicitly regulated by current legal regulation, namely ordinary shares,...
