1. A public offering auction structure in which the price of the offering is set after taking in all bids and determining the highest price at which the total offering can be sold. In this type of auction, investors place a bid for the amount they are willing to buy in terms of quantity and price. 2. A type of auction in which the price on an item is lowered until it gets a bid. The first bid made is the winning bid and results in a sale, assuming that the price is above the reserve price. This is in contrast to typical options, where the price rises as bidders compete. Taobiz explains Dutch Auction 1. If a company is using a Dutch auction IPO, potential investors enter their bids for the number of shares they want to purchase as well as the price they are willing to pay. For example, an investor may place a bid for 100 shares at $100 while another investor offers $95 for 500 shares. once all the bids are submitted, the allotted placement is assigned to the bidders from the highest bids down, until all of the allotted shares are assigned. However, the price that each bidder pays is based on the lowest price of all the allotted bidders, or essentially the last successful bid. Therefore, even if you bid $100 for your 1,000 shares, if the last successful bid is $80, you will only have to pay $80 for your 1,000 shares. The U.S. Treasury (and other countries) uses a Dutch auction to sell securities. The Dutch auction also provides an alternative bidding process to IPO pricing. When Google launched its public offering, it relied on a Dutch auction to earn a fair price. 2. For example, the auctioneer starts at $2,000 for an object. If there are no bidders, the price is lowered by $100. The object will be sold once a bidder accepts the last price announced by the auctioneer, say $1,500.
An option strategy that aims to profit from a time value spread through the sale and purchase of two call and two put options, each with different expiration dates. A jelly roll is created by entering into two separate positions simultaneously. One position involves buying a put and selling a call with the same strike price and expiration. The second position involves selling a put and buying a call. The strike prices of the put and call in the second position are identical but different from the previous position, and the duration of the second position is longer than the previous position. This position creates a synthetic near-term short position and long-term long position that work to capitalize upon the time differential between futures prices.
A document published by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that provides guidance on how people claimed as dependents should compile and file tax information. IRS Publication 929 outlines the filing requirements for individuals considered dependents, including how to calculate the dependent's standard deduction and any applicable exemptions. It also includes information on how investment income should be reported for children, regardless of whether those children are claimed as dependents. While children are the most commonly recognized type of dependent, the aged and disabled also fall into that category. Dependents are likely to have to file a tax return if they have unearned income above $950 or earned income above $5,700. The standard deduction for a dependent is the lesser of $950 or the regular standard deduction of $5,700.
A number that tests for autocorrelation in the residuals from a statistical regression analysis. The Durbin-Watson statistic is always between 0 and 4. A value of 2 means that there is no autocorrelation in the sample. Values approaching 0 indicate positive autocorrelation and values toward 4 indicate negative autocorrelation. Taobiz explains Durbin Watson Statistic Autocorrelation can be a significant problem in analyzing historical pricing information if one does not know to look out for it. For instance, since stock prices tend not to change too radically from one day to another, the prices from one day to the next could potentailly be highly correlated, even though there is little useful information in this observation. In order to avoid autocorrelation issues, the easiest solution in finance is to simply convert a series of historical prices into a series of percentage-price changes from day to day.
A secondary voting proxy that allows a shareholder to override an already submitted vote. When duplicate proxies are received by the corporation, the document with the most timely information will be taken into account. Taobiz explains Duplicate Proxy Issuing a duplicate proxy will retract a shareholder's earlier decision. Most firms will provide shareholders with additional proxy forms, allowing them to change their mind when voting on corporate issues. The secondary proxy should be submitted in a timely manner, or risk missing the voting process.
A document published by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that provides information for individuals who employ a household employee. Examples of household employees include maids, nannies, yard workers, drivers and caretakers. Employers of household employees may have to pay state and federal employment taxes, including Social Security, Medicare and unemployment. The IRS indicates that a household worker is considered an employee if that individual is told what work is to be done, and how it should be done. If the worker meets those standards then he or she is considered an employee, even if not employed full-time or hired from an agency, and even if that employee is not paid on a standard schedule. It is unlawful to employ someone if he or she is not legally authorized to work in the United States. When hiring a household employee, the taxpayer must complete Form I-9 from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
A futures and options exchange in London, England that was modeled after the Chicago Board of Trade and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Similar to its American counterparts, this exchange used to deal with futures, options and commodities contracts. However, in 2002, LIFFE was acquired by Euronext as part of its strategy to increase its presence as a derivatives market. LIFFE has been renamed Euronext.liffe. During most of its existence as an independent exchange, LIFFE used the open outcry system to facilitate trades. LIFFE's reluctance to change to an electronic trading system was a cause of its downfall. By the time LIFFE had implemented LIFE CONNECT, a widespread electronic trading platform, fully electronic exchanges had been in operation for almost 10 years and had already snatched up a sizable market share.
A temporary identification number attached to a security by a company until the official CUSIP number is assigned. Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (CUSIP) numbers identify securities when recording buy and sell orders. A dummy CUSIP number is a nine-character code for internal company use but may never actually be changed to an official identifier. Dummy CUSIP numbers may also be assigned to securities that are no longer in existence. Taobiz explains Dummy CUSIP Number The nine-digit dummy cusip numbers are supplied by the CUSIP Service Bureau (CSB). The first six characters identify the issuer, the next two describe the issue and the last character is used as a mathematical check for accuracy. The fourth, fifth and seventh characters are always nines (for example, 11199-19-11).
