2, the difference between shares:
First, both can issue shares. Shares are divided into registered shares and bearer shares, and the issuance methods are divided into public offering and private offering. Stock trading is a registered stock that is publicly issued. Only this kind of stock can be listed and traded, others can only be transferred according to law and cannot be listed and traded. Therefore, a joint stock limited company or a listed company can issue a variety of stocks. The difference is that a listed company will always have one more stock than a joint stock limited company: stocks that can be listed and traded.
