Stock related to skiing! Some tears at right. Skiing involves the use of skis to traverse snow, serving purposes such as transportation, leisure, or competitive sport during the winter season. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS) recognize various types of competitive skiing events. The history of skiing spans nearly five thousand years. While contemporary skiing has its roots in Scandinavia, evidence suggests that it may have been practiced over 10,000 years ago in the Altai Mountains, as inferred from ancient artwork. This interpretation, however, remains a topic of ongoing debate. The term "ski" is derived from the Old Norse word "skíð," which translates to "split piece of wood or firewood."
A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
