Hi Sokha! Generally, they mean the same thing. "Stock" is the broad term for ownership in a company. "Shares" are the exact individual pieces of that stock you own. (e.g., I own 100 shares of Apple stock). 📈

Haha, no! In finance, "liquid" means it can easily be turned into cash. Money in the bank is very liquid. A house is NOT liquid, because it takes months to sell it to get the cash! 💧
