What is a stock?

OK, yes, you're right. Today's entries have to do with a tranversal study of English. Now we turn to economy. What is a stock? We have all used the word many times, and know what it is both in English and Spanish, but how does a stock really work?

Mint, the free money management service, regularly posts interesting infographics on its blog Mint Life. What Is a Stock? uses clear graphics and terms to explain what a stock is, offering a brief history of stock markets, and giving a brief explanation of why people buy stocks.
