stocks are shares of a corporation that people can buy, when the corp does good the corp pays out money to the investors but the investors can lose money when the corp is not doing good. bonds are essentially loans made out to corporations that earn interests. stocks offer greater rewards but greater risks. bonds offer less risks and less rewards
