About Stock
A stock is a share in the ownership of a company. Stock represents a claim on the company's assets and earnings. If you continue to buy more stock in a company, your ownership stake in the company becomes greater. Some other names for stock are shares and equity. When you buy stock in a company, you become one of the company’s owners and you are called a shareholder of that company.
