Hi guys,
I have seen so many questions in this forum regarding Stock Market Words. I guess this will help beginners to understand the meaning of some common words.
There are currently two indices in the CSE
1. ASPI- The All Share Price Index
2. MPI - The Milanka Price Index
What are the type of shares?
1.Ordinary Shares (N) - A right to vote at the company General meeting.
2.Non-voting ordinary shares (X) - These shares have the characteristics of ordinary shares except the right to vote at the company General meeting.
3. Preference Shares (P) - Most preference shares have a pre-determined dividend rate which you are entitled to receive.
4. Warrants (W) - This is certificate giving you the right to buy shares at a stipulated price at a future date.
Stock Market words
1. Allotment letter - A document showing that you have been allotted a certain number of newly issued shares.
2. Annual general meeting (AGM) - Every company must have an AGM each year, to allow shareholders to vote on the accounts, directors and dividends and question the board on the company's affairs.
3. Annual Report - The yearly independently audited report to shareholders which must be produced by all publicly quoted companies.
4. Bargain - The term for any deal on the stock exchange, purchase or sale.
5. Bear Market - Someone who thinks that the price of a share or stock market prices in general are about to fall.
6. Bid price - The price you sell your stocks or shares.
7. Blue chip - The shares of large well established companies.
8. Bull Market - Someone who thinks that the price of a share or the market in general is about to rise.
9. Dividend - The part of a company's profits distributed to shareholders, usually on a regular basis. An interim dividend is paid at the half-year stage and a final dividend at the end of the full year.
10. Earnings Per Share (EPS) - A company's profits (after payment of interest and preference share dividends) dividend by the number of shares issued.
11. Liquid Stock - is a stock with a lot of volume that is easy to buy and sell.
12. Price-earnings ratio (P/E) - This is calculated by taking the current earnings (profits after certain deductions) of the company and dividing them by the number of shares issued. This gives the earnings by share figure. It is then divided into the current share price which gives the P/E ratio. See also Earnings per share.
13. Prospectus - An independently audited document detailing a company's financial history and current situation and published ahead of a new share issue.
