Is there any difference between a stock and a share?

Answer Posted / avinash walter

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?
