Explanation

A security is a financial instrument that represents ownership or an investment claim. A certificate representing ownership of a corn harvest is such a claim, and stocks represent ownership in a company while bonds represent a loan to an issuer. A bar of gold and a stack of lumber are physical assets, not securities by themselves.
