Both these words, assume and presume have similar meanings in one context: to take for granted that something is true without positive proof. But, both these words have many variants, shades of meaning. One can "assume" (take on) responsibility for something, i.e. The captain assumed command of the squadron in the absence of the Major. Or, How dare you presume to think that I would want you as a lover? Several other nuances for both words, each slightly, but significantly different. I suggest any of the online sources, such as www.dictionary.com, which will have thesauruses as well.

What is the difference between shareholder and shareowner?

I presume the difference between a shareholder and shareowner is that shareholders are fiduciaries that hold shares for safekeeping until the shares are properly transferred to shareowners who outright own shares in equitable title; thus, being the ultimate customer and beneficial owners. Shareholders are custodians that have a minority interest in the shares, as opposed to a majority or material interest.
