Bonds are a loan to a company or organization of some sort, like a government or governmental organization - a bridge athority, for example. The company gets the use of your money and pays you back under the terms of the bond. When the loan is paid back, the business transaction is complete. The value of the bond is determined by how much money the company still has, what interest rate they will pay on the loan, and what the prevailing interest rate is in the market. For example - if the bond pays 5%, but the prevailing rate is only 3%, the bond is worth more than another bond for the same amount, but will only pay 2%. That's because the bondholder will get more interest from his investment.

Stock is a form of ownership in a corporation. You actually own a portion of the company. If a company has issued 100 shares, and you own 3 shares, you own 3% of the company. Each share is worth 1% of the company in this case. If the company's value goes up or it makes a lot of money, the share price goes up. If the company's value goes down, or the company loses money in its business, the share price goes down.

Stocks are shares of companies that you can buy and sell through a stock exchange. Bonds are what you buy for a fixed return. You are just lending money to a company or the government for a fixed interest return upon maturity. Futures are contracts that you go into in order to trade an asset for a fixed price in the future. Both parties pay a small amount of cash as margin and is therefore a leveraged trading instrument. Options are contracts that gives you the right but not the obligation to trade an asset for a fixed price. It is also a leveraged trading instrument. Forex is trading foreign currency.

Ehm..
I've been trading the market for just a few months. My cousin actually told me about this website ( http://pennystocks.toptips.org ) and I signed up immediately after. This is my honest review about their method. I'm not someone who has a lot of time to be researching for ideas because I work many hours. they made it incredibly easy for me to make money in the market. Their reports are easy to read and follow. I've tracked most of the stock ideas that I've received in my e-mail from them and MANY have seen some nice gains after their announcements. I've made a nice profit (55% return on my investment on one, and 112% on the other!) on a couple of suggestions he's given and plan to start trading his ideas a lot more.

A stock is a portion of a company that you can buy. A bond is a loaned amount of money that you earn interest on and you get a fancy little piece of paper that says so.

A stock is a piece of paper that says you own part of a company and can win if its value goes up or lose if it goes down.

A bond is an IOU that says you loaned money to a company and they have to pay it back with interest.
