  • Stock Market Terms

    Posted on October 31st, 2007 admin No comments

    We come across so many different terms or words commonly used in the stock market. Knowing them would lead to a better understanding of what it is all about.

    A share means an investor’s ownership in a company in terms of profits, losses and assets. It represents the “pieces” sold by the business to investors in exchange for cash. The earning per share is the amount of profit to which each share is entitled to. “Going Public” is a term used to mean that a company is planning an IPO which is short for Initial Public Offering. This is when a company sells stocks for the first time. The amount of money that would be needed to buy every share of stock in a company is called the Market Cap, short for Market Capitalization.
