Stocks are financial securities representing part-ownership in a company, providing rights and potential profits from value increases.
A share is the smallest unit of stock, representing single unit ownership in a company. Share value increases with company growth.
Stocks represent ownership in multiple companies; shares are single units of stock. Stocks can vary in value; the value of each share of the company is of the same value.
Stocks are categorized into common, preferred, large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap, growth, and blue-chip stocks based on rights and company size.
Shares can be categorized as equity/common shares and preference shares, each offering different rights and priorities in case of company liquidation.
Investing offers diversification and potential profits but involves risks, such as volatility. Research and expert advice are crucial.
