What's the difference between shares and stocks?

In today's financial markets, the distinction between stocks and shares has been somewhat blurred. Generally, these words are used interchangeably to refer to the pieces of paper that denote ownership in a particular company, called stock certificates. However, the difference between the two words comes from the context in which they are used.

For example, "stock" is a general term used to describe the ownership certificates of any company, in general, and "shares" refers to a the ownership certificates of a particular company. So, if investors say they own stocks, they are generally referring to their overall ownership in one or more companies. Technically, if someone says that they own shares - the question then becomes - shares in what company?

Bottom line, stocks and shares are the same thing. The minor distinction between stocks and shares is usually overlooked, and it has more to do with syntax than financial or legal accuracy

Financial Planning

Ok, after the 2 days course, I am gonna commit myself to the financial planning(FP) steps. Enuf wife the delays, the procrastination. Its time for action. Execution time. Do it. Do it.

I have done the first few parts of the plan but after yesterday's course, I need to readjust some. The thing about FP is that u need to relook into it say once every year or whenever u have new commitment or priorities. Half a day's work or less.

In addition, as part of FP , I'm gonna have a new hobby. That is to make money enuf for my retirement. Yup, make ka-ching as a hobby. Invest, save, open/buy business, take action. Why, u say.. Coz of the picture. That's my financial goal to retire.
