What is the difference between a stock and a share?

As far as I can understand a stock and a share may have the same meaning. How can they be distinguished from one another when used? How can I understand when a stock means a share or it means all shares equaled to capitalization of a company. How to understand a sentnce - What do you get when you own a stock? What stock is meant here?

No difference. Bonds or fixed interest are always referred to as stock. It used to be when the share had a nomial value of £1. So £100 stock would be divided into 4 * 25p stock units rather than shares. Something like P & O Deferred Stock. You could also say "I have some stock in Barclays or IBM". Basically no difference. I would stick to shares, being a share of the company in every aspect.
