To buy a share of stock is to buy one unit of ownership or equity in the company: the number of shares you buy/own is printed on a stock certificate. Normally, more than one. One normally would buy a much greater number of shares. Take a look: google.com/… | |
| Jul 11, 2018 at 8:12 | comment | added | Mat | @Lambie Thank you for detailed post. I can tell from my short research, most of the sources provide the above definition of stock (i.e. the one provided also by Invetopedia). However, it does not seem to fit the phrase "share of stock", which is very common. Is there another meaning of "stock"? I would expect something very close to what you mention in your point one - participation in owership of company. | |
