Stocks: A type of security that gives the holder of that security the ownership in the company whose stock he/she has purchased. In other words, these are the certificates of the company which make the owner of the certificate entitled to the ownership of the company in the proportion of the number of stocks he/she has purchased.
ETF: ETF or Exchange Traded Fund is a special type of security that contains other securities in a specific proportion. In other words, ETF is a type of security that tracks all the security which it has in its basket. ETFs can also track an index, sector, commodity, or specific assets from the pool of the assets which are trading in the market.
Bonds: Bonds are fixed-income security, it is called fixed-income security because the owner of the bond will receive a fixed amount each period which is defined at the time of selling of bond. A bond is a certificate which states that the owner of the bond (who is also called the lender) has lent the money to the issuer of the bond (who is the borrower), and they will pay this much interest (coupon) each period to the lender. A bond has specifics which are maturity date, coupon rate, periods (semi-annual, quarterly, annual, or zero-coupon). Bonds are issued by almost all organization that wants to raise money be it governments, municipalities, or companies.
