I am trying to remove the STOCK column from the checkout , my stock changes daily so it doesnt really matter what the stock is , also i do not want the client to know how many i have left of one item...

All I did was go into the Admin Control Panel.
Click the General Settings option under Store Config.
Browse down to the Stock Settings section and
select NO to the 'Show Stock Level' option.
Click 'Update Settings' at the bottom of page to save.

This puts an 'infinity' symbol in the checkout stock level column
instead of a number and just shows 'In Stock' on your product pages.

Hope this is what you're looking for

or if its just from the checkout page you want - go to

skins/yourskin/styleTemplates/content/cart.tpl and find the stock colomn and delete.

you are looking for this line:
{LANG_STOCK} to change to: <!-- {LANG_STOCK} -->
and this line: {VAL_INSTOCK} to change to <!-- {VAL_INSTOCK} -->
to hide the text in stock colomn....(note: this will hide the text in the colomn so that it doesnt take up space - but keeps it there just in case you want to put back in later...)
