If you are not too familiar with the investing world and have often heard about shares or stocks or the stock market, wondering what they could mean. This article would give you an insight into the world of stock. For starters, a stock is a type of investment that grants investors partial ownership in a company.

Definition of Stock

A stock is a type of security that represents part ownership in a corporation. It can also be said to be the total shares into which ownership of a company is divided. Collectively, shares are known as stock, and one share of a stock represents part ownership of a company in proportion to the total number of shares. Stocks form the core of almost every portfolio.

According to Investopedia, “a stock is a type of security that signifies proportionate ownership in the issuing corporation.”
