3. ) It is a certificate evidencing ownership in a corporate enterprise. The stock of a corporation is usually divided into two classes, common and preffered. The former represents the basic ownership; its holders' claims to income and assets are subordinate to the claims of bondholders, creditors, and preferred stockholders. Common stock usually has the voting privilege. The holder of preferred stock always enjoys priority as to income and generally as to assets. However, his or her income is usually limited to a definite percentage, regardless of earnings.
