Line 3:
In [[Finance|financial]] markets, '''stock''' is the [[Capital (economics)|capital]] raised by a [[corporation]] through the issuance and distribution of [[Share (finance)|shares]].
 
A person or organisationorganization which holds at least a partial '''share''' of stocks is called a [[shareholder]]. The aggregate value of a corporation's issued shares is its [[market capitalization]].
 
In the [[United Kingdom]] and Australia, the term ''share'' is used the same way, but ''stocks'' there refer to either a completely different [[financial instrument]], the [[Bond (finance)|bond]], or more widely to all kinds of [[marketable]] [[securities]].
