In general sense these two are used synonymus but slight
distinction however is there. Generally Investors hold
shares of many companies. So the holding is called stock(
means bundle of shares of many companies). If am owning 500
shares of ten companies of 50 each ,tnen I am holding a
stock. Hence stock consists of shares of many companies.

a portion of shares of many companies.
