The spread between the high and low prices traded during a period of time. Taobiz explains Trading Range When a stock breaks through or falls below its trading range after several days of trading in a range, it usually means there is momentum (positive or negative) building.
A dividend reinvestment plan that uses dividends to purchase more shares directly from the company's treasury stock. Oftentimes, because the company is issuing the shares, it will offer the shareholder a small discount on the share price; this discount typically ranges from 2-4%. Taobiz explains Treasury DRIP The other common type of dividend reinvestment plan is the market DRIP. In a market drip, a company uses its cash dividends to purchase shares on the open market, rather than from its treasury. Using a DRIP can help companies to develop investor loyalty and a stable shareholder base. The advantages to shareholders include convenience and a lack of commission charges on acquiring new shares through a DRIP program
A category of stocks relating to the transportation of goods or customers. The transportation sector is made up of airlines, railroads and trucking companies. Taobiz explains Transportation Sector The performance of the transportation sector is sensitive to the price of oil. Because operations revolve around the use of vehicles, fuel prices represent a significant cost to transportation companies. As the price of oil rises, transportation companies will be expected to earn less. Inversely, these companies do well when the cost of fuel decreases.
The extent to which investors have ready access to any required financial information about a company such as price levels, market depth and audited financial reports. Classically defined as when "much is known by many", transparency is one of the silent prerequisites of any free and efficient market. When transparency relates to information flow from the company to investors, it is also known as "full disclosure". Taobiz explains Transparency Transparency helps to prevent the corruption that inevitably occurs when a select few have access to important information, allowing them to use it for personal gain. Reduced price volatility also tends to be a byproduct of a transparent market because all the market participants can base decisions of value on the same data. There are dozens of federal regulations in place to ensure transparency in our markets. Companies also have a strong motivation to provide disclosure, as transparency is generally rewarded through the stock's performance.
The procedure by which ownership of a stock moves from one party to another. The transfer agent follows a detailed, documented series of steps governed by the SEC to ensure that a transaction has been completed. Taobiz explains Transfer Procedures The transfer agent has record of the personal details of an owner of a share. And when a share's ownership changes, the transfer agent cancels the stock certificate of the seller and makes a new stock certificate for the buyer.
A trust company, bank or similar financial institution assigned by a corporation to maintain records of investors and account balances and transactions, to cancel and issue certificates, to process investor mailings and to deal with any associated problems (i.e. lost or stolen certificates). Taobiz explains Transfer Agent Because publicly-traded companies, mutual funds and similar entities often have many investors who own a small portion of the organization, require accurate records and have rights regarding information provision, the role of the transfer agent is an important one. Some corporations choose to act as their own transfer agents, but most choose a third-party financial institution to fill the role.
In investments, a stock that simultaneously beats analyst expectations for revenue and earnings and also raises earnings guidance for future quarters. The term triple play was first popularized by Bespoke Investment Group in the mid-2000's and is seen as a highly positive sign for the stock. Some investors like to look at triple-play stocks as a preliminary filter for finding good stocks to research for investment. Taobiz explains Triple Play A triple play is seen as a highly positive sign because it indicates that not only is a company growing its business and earnings, but also doing it in a way that is expected to last over the longer term. Often when a stock beats revenue and earnings estimates, analysts wonder if the higher numbers can be expected to continue. If the company does not raise guidance, it may indicate that management expects a drop in the next period.
A trading strategy that attempts to capture gains through the analysis of an asset's momentum in a particular direction. The trend trader enters into a long position when a stock is trending upward (successively higher highs). Conversely, a short position is taken when the stock is in a down trend (successively lower highs). Taobiz explains Trend Trading This strategy assumes that the present direction of the stock will continue into the future. It can be used by short-, intermediate- or long-term traders. Regardless of their chosen time frame, traders will remain in their position until they believe the trend has reversed - but reversal may occur at different times for each time frame.
