The vast majority of investors only buy and sell common stock. Stocks fall under two main categories, common stock and preferred stock, and preferred stock is further divided into non-participating and participating stock. There are many different kinds of stocks and bonds to choose from, some of which make for more sound investments than others. Bonds are also traded on exchanges but often have a lower volume of transactions than stocks. Indeed, the governments of United States and Japan are among the largest issuers of bonds. While stocks are usually offered only in for-profit corporations, any organization can issue bonds. They are a form of debt and appear as liabilities in the organization's balance sheet.
