    Stocks represent ownership in a company and offer higher risk but also potential for greater returns, while bonds are essentially loans made to companies or governments and have lower risk but also lower returns. While stocks tend to be more volatile, there are different types of each with varying levels of risk, return, and volatility. The main differences are that stocks offer ownership while bonds represent loans, but some stocks can pay dividends comparable to bond interest and bonds can provide capital gains in a falling rate environment.

    STOCKS VS BONDS

    Stocks and bonds are the two main classes of assets investors use in their portfolios.
    Stocks offer an ownership stake in a company, while bonds are akin to loans made to a
    company (a corporate bond) or other organization (like the U.S. Treasury). In general,
    stocks are considered riskier and more volatile than bonds. However, there are many
    different kinds of stocks and bonds, with varying levels of volatility, risk and return.

    The Differences Between Stocks vs. Bonds

    The main differences between stocks and bonds are straightforward, but some of the
    differences between the two can be a bit blurred.

    For example, there are stocks that pay dividends that are equal to or higher than bond
    interest. Bonds also have the potential to generate capital gains in a financial
    environment where interest rates are falling. (It’s that inverse relationship with interest
    rates bond have, but with a positive outcome.)
