• BOOK ENTRY SECURITIES
  
  Stocks, bonds, other securities, and some certificates of deposit that are purchased, sold, and held with only manual or computer accounting entries rather than transfers of physical certificates to evidence the transfer. Typically, instead of a physical certificate or instrument, buyers only receive receipts or confirmations as evidence of their ownership.
