Investing and personal finance for everyone
Bonds are a type of investment where the investor lends money to an entity (generally a company or government) in exchange for payment in full with interest. Bond owners are called bondholders, and are not owners of the corporation, but
Stocks (also called equities) are a type of investment where an investor buys shares (“stock”) sold by a corporation. A share of stock represents partial ownership of the company and the investor becomes a shareholder in the company.
