An arrangement of characters (usually letters) representing a particular security listed on an exchange or otherwise traded publicly. When a company issues securities to the public marketplace, it selects an available ticker symbol for its securities which investors use to place trade orders. Every listed security has a unique ticker symbol, facilitating the vast array of trade orders that flow through the financial markets every day. Taobiz explains Ticker Symbol Stock symbols are the most recognized type of ticker symbol. Stocks listed and traded on U.S. exchanges such as the NYSE have symbols with up to three letters. Nasdaq-listed stocks have four-letter symbols. Ticker symbols for options are structured to represent the underlying stock ticker they are based on and also their expiration date and contract type (either a put or a call option). Mutual fund ticker symbols are usually alphanumeric and end with the letter X to differentiate them from stock symbols.
A marketable U.S. government debt security with a fixed interest rate and a maturity between one and 10 years. Treasury notes can be bought either directly from the U.S. government or through a bank. When buying Treasury notes from the government, you can either put in a competitive or noncompetitive bid. With a competitive bid, you specify the yield you want; however, this does not mean that your bid will be approved. With a noncompetitive bid, you accept whatever yield is determined at auction. |||Treasury notes are extremely popular investments as there is a large secondary market that adds to their liquidity. Interest payments on the notes are made every six months until maturity. The income for interest payments is not taxable on a municipal or state level but is federally taxed.
A now defunct rule that placed restrictions on when a short sale may be executed. Tick test rules dictated that a short sale could be made only in two situations: 1. When the price of the particular stock was higher than the last trade price (an uptick). 2. When there was no change in the last trade price. The previous trade price had to be higher than the trade price that preceded it (a zero uptick or zero plus tick) Also known as the "short sale rule". Taobiz explains Tick Test Rules This rule was intended to prevent investors from destabilizing a stock's price when it was falling. However, on July 6, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission struck Rule 10a-1, the regulation that put the uptick restrictions in place, from the books.
A customized derivative security used by investors to lock in the yield or price of a treasury security. |||The lock acts like a separate security in addition to the treasury because it guarantees a fixed return. Treasury locks are cash settled, and the parties involved, depending on their respective side of the transaction, pay the difference between the lock price and the market interest rates. For example, an investor purchasing a treasury lock at 5% is required to pay the seller the difference between the market interest rate and the lock rate if the market rate is higher. Conversely, if the market rate is lower than the lock price, then the investor will receive the difference.
The number of stocks trading on an uptick minus the number of stocks trading on a downtick. Taobiz explains Tick Index This is a very short-term indicator. A positive tick index is good (the higher the better).
The return on investment, expressed as a percentage, on the debt obligations of the U.S. government. Treasuries are considered to be a low-risk investment because they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, which includes the government’s authority to raise taxes to cover its obligations. Because of their low risk, treasuries have a low return compared to many other investments. |||The different types of U.S. treasuries include treasury notes, treasury bills and treasury bonds, which come in different maturities up to 30 years. Each has a different yield, and the U.S. treasury publishes the yields for all of its securities daily on its website.
The act of providing material non-public information about a publicly-traded company to a person who is not authorized to have the information. This is an illegal act. Information is considered non-public until it has been publicly released and the financial markets have had sufficient time to digest the impact the information may have had on prices. Taobiz explains Tipping Investment bankers are often in possession of material non-public information that can be used for tipping, although occurrences of tipping are very rare. In the event that a person unknowingly passes on a tip, he or she may still have performed a criminal act by being careless with the information. Tips can be used to make insider trades before the information becomes available to the public. The law prohibits tippees, or those who receive material non-public information, from making financial transactions based on the information they have received.
Advice from a person who claims to have inside information, such as substantially higher than expected earnings or government approval of corporate mergers, that will materially impact a stock's price but actually doesn't. Taobiz explains Tip From A Dip Sometimes referred to as a "tipster" or "tipper", these people should be avoided at all costs. Government regulations prevent persons with material insider information, such as corporate executives and board members, from disclosing their knowledge to family members, friends, or other persons for the purpose of profiting off virtually guaranteed changes in a stock's price once the news hits the street; anyone with decent insider information is effectively prevented from profiting from it on the open market.
