Answer 2

typically shares are referred to as "common shares" and "preferred shares", although some terminology may be different between continents. to my knowledge normal shares are the same as common shares. basically common shares represent partial ownership in a business. typically one common share carries one vote in the company, so the majority owners of the common shares control the business (ie. appoint the board of directors who in turn appoint the management team, among other things). common shares however rank in last place in the event the company goes bankrupt, so common shareholders have the last right to claim any residual assets in the corporation after all the debtholders and preferred shareholders have been paid off. preferred shares are more "senior" shares than common shares and often will carry a dividend but often will not carry votes in the affairs of the corporation. preferred shareholders have a more senior claim on any residual assets in the event that the company goes bankrupt (ie. above the common shareholders but below the debtholders). note however the dividend on preferred shares is not mandatory therefore while they may look like debt, they are not in fact a debt instrument.
