what is the difference between stock & shares,
Answer Posted / suresh hyd
In today's financial markets, the distinction between
stocks and shares has been somewhat blurred. Generally,
these words are used interchangeably to refer to the pieces
of paper that denote ownership in a particular company,
called stock certificates. However, the difference between
the two words comes from the context in which they are used.
For example, "stock" is a general term used to describe the
ownership certificates of any company, in general,
and "shares" refers to a the ownership certificates of a
particular company. So, if investors say they own stocks,
they are generally referring to their overall ownership in
one or more companies. Technically, if someone says that
they own shares - the question then becomes - shares in
what company?
Bottom line, stocks and shares are the same thing. The
minor distinction between stocks and shares is usually
overlooked, and it has more to do with syntax than
financial or legal accuracy
