A Securities & Exchange Commission regulation that requires company insiders to return any profits made from the purchase and sale of company stock if both transactions occur within a six-month period. A company insider, as determined by the rule, is any officer, director or holder of more than 10% of the company’s shares. Taobiz explains Short-Swing Profit Rule The rule was implemented to prevent insiders, who have greater access to material company information, from taking advantage of information for the purpose of making short-term profits. For example, if an officer buys 100 shares at $5 in January and sells these same shares in February for $6, he/she would have made a profit of $100. Because the shares were bought and sold within a six-month period, the officer would have to return the $100 to the company under the short-swing profit rule.
The volume of advancing NYSE issues divided by the volume of declining NYSE issues. If the upside-downside ratio is greater than 1, it shows that there is more volume in stocks that are increasing in price than in stocks that are decreasing in price. The higher the ratio is, the more bullish the market.
A computer network that automatically executes trades in Nasdaq market securities and some Nasdaq small cap securities. This allows individual investors to execute trades in fast moving markets.

A candlestick formation that is commonly used to signal the continuation of the current trend. The pattern is formed when a series of candlesticks have demonstrated the following:1. The bar is a large white candlestick within a defined uptrend.2. The second bar is another white candlestick that has gapped above the close of the previous bar.3. The last bar is a red candlestick that closes within the gap between the first two bars. It is important to note that the red candle does not need to fully close the gap. In technical analysis, it is not uncommon to see the price of the asset close the gap created in the price. Sometimes traders get ahead of themselves and send the price higher too quickly, which can result in a slight pullback. The red candlestick that forms the upside tasuiki gap is as a period of slight consolidation before the bulls continue to send the price higher.
A theory that holds that smaller firms, or those companies with a small market capitalization, outperform larger companies. This market anomaly is a factor used to explain superior returns in the Three Factor Model, created by Gene Fama and Kenneth French - the three factors being the market return, companies with high book-to-market values, and small stock capitalization. Taobiz explains Small Firm Effect The theory holds that smaller companies have a greater amount of growth opportunities than larger companies. Small cap companies also tend to have a more volatile business environment, and the correction of problems - such as the correction of a funding deficiency - can lead to a large price appreciation. Finally, small cap stocks tend to have lower stock prices, and these lower prices mean that price appreciations tend to be larger than those found among large cap stocks.
A stock's volume when the security closes at a price higher than the previous day's close. In other words, if a stock increases in price during the day, the volume for that day is considered to be up volume.
Refers to stocks with a relatively small market capitalization. The definition of small cap can vary among brokerages, but generally it is a company with a market capitalization of between $300 million and $2 billion. Taobiz explains Small Cap One of the biggest advantages of investing in small-cap stocks is the opportunity to beat institutional investors. Because mutual funds have restrictions that limit them from buying large portions of any one issuer's outstanding shares, some mutual funds would not be able to give the small cap a meaningful position in the fund. To overcome these limitations, the fund would usually have to file with the SEC, which means tipping its hand and inflating the previously attractive price. Keep in mind that classifications such as "large cap" or "small cap" are only approximations that change over time. Also, the exact definition can vary between brokerage houses.
Refers to the group of investors who hold a short position and are quick to exit their positions at the first sign of strength in the underlying asset. This group of investors looks to capture the gain on a move lower, but they are usually unwilling to take on as much risk as other investors. Weak shorts differ from other traders because they will close their position at the first sign that it will move against them. It is not uncommon for this group of investors exit a position only to see the asset move to a price that would have made the trade profitable if they had left it open.
