Common stock is the residual corporate interest
that bears the ultimate risks of loss and receives the benefits of success. It is guaranteed
neither dividends nor assets upon dissolution. But common stockholders
generally control the management of the corporation and tend to profit most if the
company is successful. In the event that a corporation has only one authorized issue
of capital stock, that issue is by definition common stock, whether so designated in
the charter or not.
Stock is general term used to describe the ownership certificates of any company, and
“shares” refers to the ownership certificates of particular company. So, if investors say they
own stocks, they are generally reffering to their overall ownership in one or more companies.
Technically, if someone says that they own shares / the question then becomes – shares in
what company?

shareholders in any profit distribution beyond a prescribed rate. This participation
involves a pro rata distribution based on the total par value of the outstanding
