Stocks
Introduction
Corporations divide their ownership interests into segments, or shares of stock. Publicly traded corporations offer shares of their stock for purchase to the general public. When you invest in stocks, you become an owner of that company, with all the rights of ownership. Unlike bonds, shares of stock have no maturity dates or required interest payments. Stock investors are usually looking for company growth, which tends to drive up the share price of the company stock.
