    A stock is a piece of paper supposedly representing part of a company. You still have the paper.

    There's nothing "supposedly" about it. It does represent a part of the ownership. If you own all the pieces of paper then you own the company.

    However much you paid for it and how much it's worth are completely different stories, but the stock is indeed the ownership.
