    Stock

    Definition of 'Stock'

    A type of security that signifies ownership in a corporation and represents a
    claim on part of the corporation's assets and earnings.

    There are two main types of stock: common and preferred. Common stock
    usually entitles the owner to vote at shareholders' meetings and to receive
    dividends. Preferred stock generally does not have voting rights, but has a
    higher claim on assets and earnings than the common shares. For example,
    owners of preferred stock receive dividends before common shareholders and
    have priority in the event that a company goes bankrupt and is liquidated.

    Also known as "shares" or "equity."
    Investopedia explains 'Stock'

    A holder of stock (a shareholder) has a claim to a part of the corporation's
    assets and earnings. In other words, a shareholder is an owner of a company.
    Ownership is determined by the number of shares a person owns relative to the
    number of outstanding shares. For example, if a company has 1,000 shares of
    stock outstanding and one person owns 100 shares, that person would own and
    have claim to 10% of the company's assets.

    Stocks are the foundation of nearly every portfolio. Historically, they have
    outperformed most other investments over the long run.
