Stock vs shares

[Ashu]

The distinction between stocks and shares is pretty blurred in the Financial market.Generally, in American English, both words are used interchangeably to refer to financial equities, specifically, securities that denote ownership in a public company (in the good old days of paper transactions, these were called Stock certificates.Nowadays, the difference between the two words has more to do with syntax and is derived from the context in which they are used.
Some keypoints are:

For all intents and purposes, stocks and shares refer to 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.


To invest in stocks or, more specifically, to invest in shares of a company's stock, you will need your own brokerage Account.

I have to agree that both stocks and shares have almost the same meaning which is part ownership of a company. But in the banking parlance the stock means the certificate of ownership while the share refers to the number of certificates that one holds. That is why it is important for us to mention shares of stocks just to be clear of what we are talking about. Just saying shares of the company will not be clear enough to understand.

A share is when you own a part of a company. There are two main types of shares investors can own, private and public. The key difference between the two is that public shares are listed on a stock market where investors can go buy and sell shares without too much hassle. Private shares on the other hand don’t offer investors the same luxury. Since they aren’t traded on a stock market, finding a potential buyer or seller can be difficult, which can cause an issue when things go wrong. Sometimes private companies transform into public companies. When this happens shares of the company change from private to public.
