Shares from WikiPedia:
In financial markets, a share is a unit of account for various financial instruments including stocks (ordinary or preferential), and investments in limited partnerships, and REITs. The common feature of all these is equity participation (limited in the case of preference shares).
The term stocks in the plural is often used as a synonym for shares. Traditionalist demands that the plural stocks be used only when referring to stock of more than one company are rarely heard nowadays.
The income received from shares is called a dividend, and a person owning shares is called a shareholder. This is usually in a large and medium sized business but not necessary in a small business which is more focused on trying to survive.
Shares are valued according to various principles in different markets, but a basic premise is that a share is worth the price at which a transaction would be likely to occur were the shares to be sold.
