A very disappointing investment. Your expected return wasn't even close to being achieved. Just like the used car that breaks down while driving out of the lot, these investments leave a bitter taste.
The abbreviation for the U.S. dollar and Swiss franc (USD/CHF) pair or cross for the currencies of the United States (USD) and Switzerland (CHF). The currency pair shows how many Swiss francs (the quote currency) are needed to purchase one U.S. dollar (the base currency).Trading the USD/CHF currency pair is also known as trading the "Swissie". |||The value of the USD/CHF pair is quoted as 1 U.S. dollar per x Swiss francs. For example, if the pair is trading at 1.50 it means that it takes 1.5 Swiss francs to buy 1 U.S. dollar.The USD/CHF is affected by factors that influence the value of the U.S. dollar and/or the Swiss franc in relation to each other and other currencies. For this reason, the interest rate differential between the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will affect the value of these currencies when compared to each other. When the Fed intervenes in open market activities to make the U.S. dollar stronger, for example, the value of the USD/CHF cross could increase, due to a strengthening of the U.S. dollar when compared to the Swiss franc. The USD/CHF tends to have a negative correlation with the EUR/USD and GBP/USD currency pairs. This is due to the positive correlation of the euro, Swiss franc and the British pound.

A fee-payment structure applicable to mutual funds in which the sales charge or commission (load) is not entirely paid at the time the investor first contributes funds to the mutual fund (or in the first several contributions either). Instead, the mutual fund load is dispersed across an extended time period, so that the load is more accurately applied to each contribution. This type of load payment plan allows greater portions of the investor's initial contributions to the account to be applied to actual investments, instead of sales charges. By doing so, the investor is able to gain a relatively larger position in the mutual fund in the short term, but their future contributions to the fund will be marginally smaller than they would have been without such a plan.
A short-term situation occurring within a market where both the bid and ask are identical, resulting in no bid-ask spread. This usually occurs in stocks that are highly volatile and experience a significant trading volume. Locked markets are typically corrected immediately through subsequent trades. This abnormal market condition occurs mainly on the Nasdaq exchange for orders entered before the opening bell.

The abbreviation for the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar (USD/CAD) currency pair or cross. The currency pair tells the reader how many Canadian dollars (the quote currency) are needed to purchase one U.S. dollar (the base currency). Trading the USD/CAD currency pair is also known as trading the "Loonie". |||The value of the USD/CAD pair is quoted as 1 U.S. dollar per X Canadian dollars. For example, if the pair is trading at 1.50 it means that it takes 1.5 Canadian dollars to buy 1 U.S. dollar.The USD/CAD is affected by factors that influence the value of the U.S. dollar and/or the Canadian dollar in relation to each other and other currencies. For this reason, the interest rate differential between the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the Bank of Canada (BoC), will affect the value of these currencies when compared to each other.

A good or asset's interchangeability with other individual goods/assets of the same type. Assets possessing this property simplify the exchange/trade process, as interchangeability assumes that everyone values all goods of that class as the same. Many diverse types of assets are considered to be fungible. For example, specific grades of commodities, such as No.2 yellow corn, are fungible because it does not matter where the corn was grown - all corn designated as No.2 yellow corn is worth the same amount. Cross-listed stocks are considered fungible as well because it doesn't matter if you purchased a share of XYZ stock in its home country or in a foreign country; it should be accepted at either location as XYZ stock.
