Investment DictionaryCommon Shares (Stock)
Common stocks (shares) are ordinary shares - securities that represent a proportional ownership of the firm including all the material (like dividends) and non-material (voting) rights. Common shares are the traditional shares, and typically if there is not noted otherwise it is mostly probable that those are the common shares.
