The currency abbreviation or the currency symbol for the Indonesian rupiah (IDR). The rupiah is made up of 100 sen, and is often presented with the symbol Rp. The rupiah derives its name from its sister currency the Indian rupee. The Riau Islands and the Indonesian half of New Guinea both had their own versions of the rupiah at one time, but both have been absorbed by this Indonesian currency. |||The Indonesian rupiah was first seen in October, 1946. It was substantially revised in 1950, when it received international recognition and replaced all former Dutch, Javanese and Japanese currencies being used in Indonesia. The rupiah underwent a 1000:1 reversion in 1965, but continued to lose value over the years. Its devaluation played a substantial role in the overthrow of the Suharto regime in 1998.
An official notification from an options clearing firm to the writer of an option that the current option holder has exercised and, therefore, the writer must produce the underlying security. This may require the option's writer to purchase or sell securities on the open market to fulfill the contractual obligation. Allocation notice can also refer to how a broker or advisor would inform a client who has shown interest in an IPO whether his or her requested allocation of IPO shares is available in full, or if only a fraction of the requested total is available for purchase. Because such a high percentage of options expire worthless, investors tend to overlook the fact that every contract can be exercised by the current holder. While most options traders avoid holding their contracts at expiration, someone will always be holding the in-the-money options, and will call upon the writer of the option to deliver the goods. For example, if an owner of a large block of stocks has been writing covered calls to generate income, and the stock has appreciated enough to make the option exercise profitable, whoever is holding the contract at expiration will call on the stockholder to deliver the shares through his or her brokerage firm.
The party in a trade that initiates the deal. The aggressor works with the dealer, who takes a passive role and posts the bid and ask quotes. The aggressor in a transaction will typically attempt to instigate the deal and push it forward in order to obtain financial benefit. In order flow, trades are considered "positive" or "negative" depending on whether the aggressor is buying or selling. For example, an aggressor selling 10,000 units will create an order flow of -10,000 with the dealer. Because commodity futures must have a buyer and seller who execute a trade simultaneously, the dealer in the aforementioned example will have a positive 10,000 order flow.
The currency abbreviation or currency symbol for the Hungarian Forint (HUF), the currency for Hungary. The Forint is made up of 100 filler and is often presented with the symbol (Ft). The Forint gets its name from gold coins called fiorino d'oro that were minted in the city of Florence in the middle ages. |||The Forint was first seen with its present name in Hungary in 1325. This currency was used throughout the middle ages and also the Renaissance, emerging as the currency used by the Austro-Hungarian empire. It was discontinued after World War I and then reactivated in 1946 by the Hungarian Communist Party. The future of the Forint is uncertain; it may be wholly replaced by the Euro after 2012.
The action of a trader/investor increasing a position in an asset when its price is heading in the direction that's opposite to what the investor/trader desires. This is generally not a wise investment decision because unless the asset begins to move in the desired direction, the investor's losses will increase. An investor might add to a losing position instead of closing it because he or she gets emotionally attached to the asset and has a hard time accepting that it was a bad investment. once the trade moves substantially in the wrong direction, however, it may be time to consider closing out or re-evaluating the reason for having the position rather than putting more money at risk.

The use of a human element, such as a single manager, co-managers or a team of managers, to actively manage a fund's portfolio. Active managers rely on analytical research, forecasts, and their own judgment and experience in making investment decisions on what securities to buy, hold and sell. The opposite of active management is called passive management, better known as "indexing". Investors who believe in active management do not follow the efficient market hypothesis. They believe it is possible to profit from the stock market through any number of strategies that aim to identify mispriced securities.Investment companies and fund sponsors believe it's possible to outperform the market, and employ professional investment managers to manage one or more of the company's mutual funds. The objective with active management is to produce better returns than those of passively managed index funds. For example, a large cap stock fund manager would look to beat the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. Unfortunately, for a large majority of active managers, this has been difficult. This phenomenon is simply a reflection of how hard it is, no matter how smart the manager, to beat the market.
