Stocks are considered much more liquid than bonds. This is because stocks are riskier and the value of the stock is determined by the present market.
Bonds can be bought with set interest rates, meaning as time goes by, its yearly value goes up at a steady rate. Stocks, however, can jump up and down in value, depending on market value.
Storehouse of value. (:
Yes, you can lose a stock, and you can lose a bond, but bonds are harder to lose, and can never decrease in value.
Assets in a financial portfolio are investments or items of value that can potentially generate income or appreciate in value, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, and cash.

stocks are like investments ina company. Say for instance, you have stocks in a company (lets say mcdonalds for example). If the revenue was going great that year, then your stocks would be worth more that you bought them for. If they aren't your stocks may go down in value.. as for bonds.. I'm not quite sure. @above If you do not know the answer, don't reply at all Stocks and bonds are issued by firms to raise capital for their investments and other operations. Bonds are used to obtain debt capital, and the capital that is raised by issuing stocks is called equity. The stocks issued are bought by institutional and household investors. So, now they are equity holders in the company. So, they get dividends from the company, and also get capital gain (when the stock price increases). Stocks attract investors because they are highly liquid (can be easily sold/bought when required )
Stocks are displayed as a value of currency per share, whereas bonds are displayed as a percentage of par value (or face value). Generally, bonds have a face value of $1000, and if the price is reflected as 100.00 that means the bond is currently worth 100% of its face value.

All other things being equal, the per share value will drop because the capitalization has been diluted.
In accounting, real assets are defined as things that are tangible and have real value. These can include properties, precious metals, financial assets, stocks, bonds, and other real property.
The stock exchange is a marketplace where buyers and sellers come together to trade shares of publicly-listed companies. It provides a platform for investors to buy and sell stocks, bonds, and other securities. Through the stock exchange, companies can raise capital by selling shares, and investors can profit from the fluctuations in the value of those shares.
In bond valuations there are more quantifiable attributes to be used than in stock valuations. For bonds, you have predetermined cash payments, exact maturity or call date, and assessments from rating agencies with respect to insolvency risks. In stocks, there is no maturity, dividends change or are nonexistent, and earnings very over time. This is why mathematical discounted cash flow models work better for bonds than for stocks. Analysts, however, use these models for both. For stocks probaly the most commonly used method is comparison of Price to Earnings ratios among comparable companies.
Market value per share can be defined as the price at which stocks are bought or sold. The market value per share is the current price of the stock.
