What's The Difference Between Shares and Stocks?

In this quick video, I'll talk about the difference between shares and stocks. This is something that a lot of people get wrong, but is actually very simple to get right!

[@elixorvideos]

Maaan I sometimes feel market players just make up multiple words of the same thing to confuse non financial people even more. So simple. thank you.

[@DividendCompass]

I agree! Investing should be simple, because it really is. 😃

Thank you bro for ur clarity about the stocks and shares which helps me to understand the market subject😊😊😊👍

What an amazing video. Straight to the point, it only took forever.

[@DividendCompass]

Thanks

[@avimehenwal]

Please provide a more concrete EXAMPLE of a ShARE and a Stock! I am a newbwee learning Economics, I have all sorts of question. Can you show me how a share looks like? and how a stock looks like?

[@DividendCompass]

A stock isn't something physical. A share used to be a sheet of paper with some writing, but now it's all digital.

[@s.theebbanraj669]

I'm subscribing now. I'm a newbie, so this video is really helpful to me! Thank you and hope to see more!

"Ok guys so let me tell you the difference between stocks and shares right ? But first let me tell you I bought an orange yesterday and...."

[@DividendCompass]

😂 But it was a delicious orange!!

[@Марги́Кои]

Seriously. I searched for this. Imma be one of those business women who own stocks n has multiple tabs open on her computer to keep up with the market. So cool. Just thought you should know.

[@godofthunder8995]

Thanks it was very helpful and very simple for someone who has no knowledge about market others are just making big difference between videos which are very hard to understand in my country's language and made a video in English which is not my language but still it was easier to understand

[@PankajYadav-px1je]

How much dividend you are getting right now annually? And What is your total investment from which you are getting your dividend?

[@DividendCompass]

I'll do a video revealing my portfolio once I reach 1,000 subs, so look out for that! 😉

What is the difference between buying in dollar amounts and buying in shares

[@DividendCompass]

Let's take Apple. 1 share costs around $300. If you have $600 you can afford 2 shares. Hope that makes sense 🙂

[@abirsarkar7075]

This explanation cleared the doubts, thanks.

[@DividendCompass]

Awesome! Very glad I could help :D

[@captaintac3115]

I only have my smartphone and looking to get started investing some money and building something up. What would be a good app to start with.

[@DividendCompass]

If you're in the US, then M1 Finance is a good one. Otherwise google "brokerage account *your country* " and you'll find your options.

[@nabhanimbhorkar7849]

Wonderful... This has cleared all my doubts...

[@DividendCompass]

[@Bakh_romm]

Same here :-)

[@brandthebert70]

While I understand your video it just brings up more questions for me. Why would you own stocks if you don’t know what company it’s for?

[@DividendCompass]

Stocks are named after the company, so it's clear that you're buying a piece of it. Hope this helps!

[@CKingSoulMusic]

Great video. Thank you. Do you have any suggestions for an income stream that doesn’t involve selling things on the internet. A income stream that possibly could replace my 9-5. Please say YES. 😂

[@DividendCompass]

Thank you! I do my best :) As for income streams, I recommend you watch one of Graham Stephan's videos about this. I think he recently posted a video about this.

[@CKingSoulMusic]

He has far too many videos to trawl through. I just looked at his page

[@fluffyempress]

Lol typical youtuber response instead of answering the question u send them to watch another video or pay for "training" n half the time they jus rambling about nth.

[@jonathanstephens6949]

If I've bought £1000 of stock in a specific company, I assume that would mean the stock just comprises of £1000 worth of shares?

[@jetspray3]

Yeah, its something like S&P 500 stock trading on the NYSE which contains 500 companies; but don't get twisted cause the shares of a company all together is what makes up the stock, so in general the S&P 500(Standard and Poor's 500) tracks the stock of 500 well known companies in the US.

I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about demat accounts... You'd have to look at the regulations in your country, but normally it should be ok to have more than one.

What does 0.798 of a share mean?if I put $40 in, I get 0.798 out of it. That's 79 cents. That's a waste

[@DividendCompass]

I don't understand the question. Can you elaborate?

[@liciasouva97]

@@DividendCompass yes I was going to put $40 in a company, a share. I reviewed it and it said its 0.798 is what I would get out of the $40. I'm not sure what that means

[@DividendCompass]

Sounds like it's the dividend the company pays. If it's yearly, that's a 2% dividend yield, which is a little low but not too bad. But remember that you're also going to get price appreciation over time, assuming it's a good and growing company.

thanks bro! I will subscribe if you make a video about our question and Invite my friend : I have a question! when we trade Tesla or suppose Silver, We will buy a real percentage of Tesla company or Silver in Grams? It's like that or not? if not it means that whole thing that we see is virtual things! Or if it's real percentage how you can lose your whole stock ???*(100%= whole Trade NO SET FOR STOP LOST) of your invested money when the Tesla is not bankrupted! or about the silver, I think It never loses the whole value in the market? can anyone explain it to me?

[@DividendCompass]

When you invest in a stock, you're buying a small fraction of the business. It's a real, tangible amount. It's not virtual and has a real value attached to it. Of course, the business can still go bankrupt, but if you do your homework and diversify, it's very unlikely.
