Stock vs shares

[tyrim88]

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.

That is the fact,because interchangably the two are used as meaning the same thing,stock are portfolio shares that are traded in the exchange market,Yhey are the book value of a shareholders holdings in a company.

I think more or less the stocks sounds more coveincing than the shares moreover both are good investment scheme but I prefer stocks

In my own ideology , I think shares becomes stock when part of the company it's been shared out and the token received can be used as stocks

 

[HayKay]

I don't think they refer to the same thing because although they're both used as vehicles of financial investments in an organization, one is more long term than the other. Also one is less volatile than the other.
Lastly, one is more profit driven than the rest - one gives you claims to be a part of the owners of the company, the other doesn't.

On a technical perspective the both of them and meaning the same thing. If we are going to look at it more critically then stock is just the certificate that you are giving why she has is the number of certificates that was given to you actually.

I think that stocks is used to refer to a collection of shares.
Shares refers to a unit or a part you own in a company or organization.
They are both financial terms and can be used alternatively.

I hear a lot of people using the two words interchangeably. I think a share is the simplest unit owned by an investor or buyer, while stock refers to two or more shares. The two terms all point to one and the same thing.

Stock and shares are both financial businesses that are currently used by many people to make money because they are simple to use. I also use this business to make money and enjoy my life.
I also recommend that you conduct this business.

Well i strongly believe that A stock is a collection of something or a collection of shares.shres are the part of something bigger the stock. Shares represent the proportion of ownership in the company While stock is a simple aggregation of shares in a company. Shares are issued at per disscount or at premium.

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.

The two are the same,the stock is the portfolio that is something that is in a full lump,while the units is the shares,when it has been divided into fractions,that is when it is called shares.

i would prefer buying shares over stock any day any time, because for me i believe that having shares in a company is more of a long term vision than short termed one and it would definitely pay off.
