One of the cinema theaters is named “Hallmark”. It’s offered a coupon for 100 people to enter the cinema for one month.
The person who had a hallmark ticket coupon for one month. Would be able to enjoy the movie in the theater freely for the next 30 days.
The couple is not disturbed by the person who is not a prime member of the hallmark cinemas.
The prime members are the ones who had a membership of the hallmark cinemas. They are a regular person who comes to watch movies.
Once the coupon is provided to one person, it doesn’t mean he or she hasn’t exchanged the coupon for anyone. The people had the right to exchange the Couple they owned. So People who have a coupon currently enjoy the cinema movies.
If they exchange it with some other people after watching the movie, the person who holds the coupon would enjoy the cinema anytime.
If one person had two coupons, then he would be able to bring another member of his family or neighbor to enjoy the cinema theater.
Likewise, the people who own a single coupon with a total of 100 coupons, could able to enjoy movies until the date the coupon card expires.
Look here each single coupon in the total of 100 coupons is the pieces. Where pieces are called shares.
The person who holds the coupon becomes a holder of the coupon.
So every piece’s coupon owner becomes a shareholder of the total coupons. So now let’s have a look at how shareholders work in the stock market.

A business that needed to raise money more than certain limits, Which means more than multiple billion dollars, Couldn’t be raised through just one or two people of investors.
So business owner of the certain industry, divide or split their ownership into a little piece to sell to the general public. After the company became a public Company.
They would be able to sell their ownership to the public Investors and raise their needed amount through the stock market.
The stock market helps the business owner to raise the money for their plans and makes the organizations grow globally.
To raise the capital of the business, every publicly traded Company sells its ownership to Investors in exchange for shares. The shares are the little pieces of the whole ownership of the company.
The reason industries split the whole ownership into little pieces of shares is to raise the necessary capital for the business easily.
because they couldn’t easily find a single Investor for billions of dollars, But they could find easily millions of small Investors for any amount they would need.
So the person of public Investors who own those little pieces of shares becomes a shares holder of a certain business.
When they sold to other Investors, the other Investors who currently own and hold the shares became shareholders of that company.
On the other side, people confuse the shareholders and stockholders so now let’s dive into what is the key difference in it.

The difference between the shareholders and stockholders is stock means collection or population of shares.
Share means pieces of one whole stock. So the shares and stock are not the same, but when the name “holder” joins with a stock or share, it has the same meaning for the stock and shareholder of the business. To make this clear let’s dive into one example.
4: example of shareholders.
Say the business issued the 1000 pieces of whole ownership of the Particular Company.
Mr.A person owns three shares for a total of 1000 shares and Mr.B person owns 50 shares for a total of 1000 shares.
We can call these two people from two angles but they are the same person with different names.
One is when we compare these two people with whole ownership of 1000 shares of stock, they are called shareholders.
when we don’t compare and say them separately with accumulated amounts of more than one piece of ownership shares they are called stockholders.
So they are the same person who had different names when we look at different angles.
