08 April 2015 what is the difference between shares and securities?

Arpit Shah (Expert)
11 April 2015 The term “securities” represents several different types of investment properties. Stocks represent one form of security. Other types of securities include bonds, mutual funds and certificates of deposits (CDs). Any type of security includes some degree of risk — the chance of losing the amount invested. The intent of investing in each type of security is the same: invest a certain amount of money with the hope that the security will increase in value over time, thereby providing a return on investment.

11 April 2015 Shares
A company's stock is divided into shares. Each share represents an equal amount of ownership in the company and is entitled to a participation in the company's profits and losses that is equal to every other share. If the company's board of directors declares a dividend, each share will receive the same amount. Each common share also entitles the stockholder to one vote at the company's annual stockholders meeting.
