What is Share (finance)?
In finance, a '''share''' is a [[unit of account]] for many different financial things including [[stock]]s, [[mutual fund]]s, [[limited partnership]]s, and [[Real estate investment trust|REIT]]'s. In [[British English]], the word ''share'' alone to talk only about [[Stock|stocks]] is so common that it almost replaces the word stock itself. Capital means the money being invested to start a new business. The owner of share is called [[shareholder]]. == Other websites == *[http://www.worldsoldestshare.com/ Oldest share]- the oldest share in the world (Voc 1606) {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200622185028/http://www.worldsoldestshare.com/ |date=2020-06-22 }} [[Category:Finance]] {{stub}}
