When an investor purchases stock, he or she becomes an owner of the issuing company.
What is a stock?
- A stock is a general term used to describe the ownership certificates of any company. A share, on the other hand, refers to the stock certificate of a particular company. Holding a particular company's share makes you a shareholder.
- Stocks are of two types—common and preferred.
- All publicly traded companies issue common stock. Some companies also issue preferred stock, which exposes you to somewhat less risk of losing money, but also provides less potential for total return.
