In finance a share is a unit of account for various financial instruments including stocks, mutual funds, limited partnerships, and REIT's. A share is one of a finite number of equal portions in the capital of a company, entitling the owner to a proportion of distributed, non-reinvested profits known as dividends and to a portion of the value of the company in case of liquidation. Shares can be voting or non-voting, meaning they either do or do not carry the right to vote on the board of directors and corporate policy. Whether this right exists often affects the value of the share.

Answer 3

A Share means a part or a right in some property. In the context of Company or Stock Market a Share means a part of a capital contributed in the capital of the Company. The person possessing such share is known as shareholder.
Total equity capital of a company is divided into equal units of small denominations, each called a share. For example, in a company the total equity capital of Rs 2,00,00,000 is divided into 20,00,000 units of Rs 10 each. Each such unit of Rs 10 is called a Share. Thus, the company then is said to have 20,00,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each. The holders of such shares are members of the company and have voting rights.

The concept of share has its origin in the Joint Stock Company. In mid 19th Century Europe experienced Industrial Revolution. Large Industries using heavy machineries were set up and large scale production was undertaken. For setting up these industries large amount of capital was required. It was practically impossible for a single person to set up such industry. Hence came up the concept of Joint Stock Company. In this form of organization many people came together and contributed to the capital of the Company. The shareholder were given voting rights proportionate to their contribution in Capital. The profits were also shared in the same ratio. However when the need for capital increased these companies took form of public limited companies in which the capital was invited from the public. This contribution was known as share and share certificate was issued to the shareholder. Hence came the concept of Share. The term "buying a share" means contributing to the share capital of the company and becoming a part owner in the company.
