Who says "concept" stocks are dead. A new air conditioning unit using air and water as a coolant rather than the environmental villain Freon has investors so excited that the stock is selling for $20 a share without sales, earnings or products. 3, record 1, English, - concept%20stock

The correct French equivalent is "action" in this context because "stock" and "share" are used interchangeably as a singular noun. However, "stock" is usually a collective noun, with "actions" as its French equivalent and "shares" as its synonym. 4, record 1, English, - concept%20stock

The foundation for this [air conditioning] unit's toughness is our rugged base pan made from a rust-proof, composite material. Because it doesn’t rust, this high-tech base pan provides rust protection for the unit and, in the case of a rooftop installation, your roof. The base pan also features a sloped design with an integrated drain that minimizes standing water to reduce the potential for mold and bacteria growth. 3, record 15, English, - condensation%20pan
