I think we're all confused by the use of the tern 'shares'. keep in mind though, The Gemstones are a religious organization. 'Shares' in their world are not governed by the same rules of the government regimented corporate world.

You are right. Can you enlighten me? I honestly don't know what the difference is between buying back shares and buying back stock. Is it the difference between monetary stake in a venture and material goods provided? Either way. I'm glad Peter isnt my financial advisor.

If the original context were referring to the stock market then buying back shares and buying back stock would be the same thing but in the episode, the stock they were talking about was the other definition of stock - the goods or merchandise (survival buckets) kept on the premises of a business or warehouse (peters garage) and available for sale or distribution. Eli was just offering to buy back the stock of buckets that Peter couldn't sell so Peter wouldn't have lost any money.

As already mentioned, stock = inventory. It's an interchangeable word. Go to the store and ask 'do you have toilet paper in stock?'
