Explain the difference between a stockholder and a bondholder of a large, publicly owned, for-profit medical facility?

What will be an ideal response?


A stockholder bought shares of a publicly owned corporation and therefore owns a fraction of it. A bondholder owns some of the bonds issued by the corporation to raise money. In most cases bondholders receive regular interest for the duration of the bond and receive the full principal on the maturity date. If the corporation fails, bondholders may not receive full payments and stockholders may end up with worthless shares.
