		If you own stock, you own a share of ownership in a company. You are also entitled to some share of the company’s assets and earnings. The more stock you own, the more assets and earnings you are entitled to.
		Stock confers many rights in the holder. Being a stockholder, or shareholder, you have the right to your share of the company’s earnings and you have voting rights which can be used to vote on some corporate decisions, such as election of the board of directors.
		One of the great characteristics of stock is its limited liability. If the company experiences financial difficulties and creditors become involved, the most you can lose is your investment in the stock. While the personal assets of the major investors and members of the company are fair game to creditors, your personal assets are untouchable.
