stock

stock
The capital, shares of stock, or certificates of stock issued by a corporation. The sum of all the rights and duties of shareholders in a corporation. 18 Am J2d Corp § 208. Shares in a joint stock company. 30 Am J Rev ed Jnt-Stk Co § 10. The word is sometimes used in statutes as a generic term referring to livestock, and when so employed it means such animals as horses, mules, and cattle, but as the word was used in a bequest of "all my notes, bonds, stock, and money," the court held that it was "in the wrong stable" to be construed as meaning livestock, but that it meant dead stock, choses, bonds, evidence of an interest in the capital stock of some incorporated or joint-stock company. Capehart v Burros, 122 NC 119, 29 SE 97. See capital stock; livestock; nursery stock; public stocks.
