A unique combination of letters which allow you to easily search for the stock
on the market (e.g. Apple = AAPL)
Characterised by rising share prices (e.g. I am bullish on Tesla = I believe
Tesla’s share price will rise; the market is bullish = the stock market is rising)
Characterised by falling share prices (e.g. I am bearish on AMC = I believe
AMC’s share price will decrease; the market is bearish = people are selling and
the stock market is decreasing)
A sum of money paid regularly (monthly, quarterly, annually) by a company to
its shareholders out of its profits
A digital currency in which transactions are verified and records maintained by
a decentralised system (on every single computer rather than a central server)
using cryptography, rather than by a centralised authority
The difference between the buy and sell price (this is wider when the volume
is lower and narrower when the volume is high)
The amount of trades happening with a particular asset (e.g. volume of Tesla
shares). Generally, the higher the volume, the better but be careful because
high volume means high volatility, which makes your trades riskier
This means a stock is liable to change unexpectedly and rapidly because
there’s a lot of people trading and thus a lot of movement in the market

When you purchase more shares after the price has decreased, resulting in a
lower average price (e.g. if you buy 10 Tesla shares at $800 and it drops to
$700 a share, you could ‘average down’ by buying 10 more shares at $700
which would make your average buy price $750, instead of $800). This is so
the price you need the share to reach, to start making profits, is lower than
before

When you purchase more shares after the price has increased, resulting in a
higher average price (e.g. if you buy 10 Tesla shares at $800 and it rises to
$900 a share, you could ‘average up’ by buying 10 more shares at $900, which
would make your buy price $850). Now, I know you’re probably asking, “why
would you want your average price to be higher?” and you’re right, you don’t,
but sometimes, if you got in early enough and you think the share price is
going to increase a lot more, you simply want to invest more money into the
company, which would result in your price averaging up

Buying shares normally. Hoping the share price will increase so that you can
sell and make profits
Selling shares first. Hoping the share price will decrease so that you can buy
the shares at a lower price to make profit (essentially you borrow the shares
first, sell them, then buy them back)
Due diligence (research)
Special purpose acquisition company - a corporation formed for the sole
purpose of raising investment capital through an initial public offering
Initial public offering - the process by which a private company can go public
by sale of its stocks to institutional investors and, most of the time, the
general public too. After the IPO, the company's shares are traded in an open
market (e.g. NADDAQ, NYSE, LSE etc)
Hold (it was a typo by some person on the internet when they were urging
others not to sell Bitcoin). I has now become a word used to mean do not sell
your position in a certain stock

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is an independent federal

government regulatory agency responsible for protecting investors,
maintaining fair and orderly functioning of the securities markets, and
facilitating capital formation

The goal of investing is to gradually build wealth over an extended period of
time through the buying and holding of a portfolio of stocks, baskets of stocks,
mutual funds, bonds, and other investment instruments.

Trading involves more frequent transactions, such as the buying and selling of
stocks, commodities, currency pairs, or other instruments. The goal is to
generate returns that outperform buy-and-hold investing. Trading profits are
generated by buying at a lower price and selling at a higher price within a
relatively short period of time. The reverse also is true: trading profits can be
made by selling at a higher price and buying to cover at a lower price (known
as "selling short") to profit in falling markets.

Positions are held from months to years

Positions are held from days to weeks
Positions are held throughout the day only with no overnight positions
Positions are held for seconds to minutes with no overnight positions
Leverage is the use of debt (borrowed capital) in order to undertake an
investment or project. The result is to multiply the potential returns from a
project. At the same time, leverage will also multiply the potential downside
risk

Financial instruments that are derivatives based on the value of underlying

securities such as stocks. An options contract offers the buyer the opportunity
to buy or sell—depending on the type of contract they hold—the underlying
asset. Unlike futures, the holder is not required to buy or sell the asset if they
choose not to. Call options allow the holder to buy the asset at a stated price
within a specific timeframe. Put options allow the holder to sell the asset at a
stated price within a specific timeframe.

Trading with leverage (e.g. "On Binance Futures, traders can trade with
leverage between 1-125x on our crypto perpetual contracts (20x by default).
The maximum amount of leverage available for users depends on the notional
value of their position. Generally, the larger the position, the lower the
leverage allowed. Thus, initial margin deposits are calculated using the
leverage selected by the trader"

Mutual funds pool money from the investing public and use that money to
buy other securities, usually stocks and bonds. The value of the mutual fund
company depends on the performance of the securities it decides to buy. So,
when you buy a unit or share of a mutual fund, you are buying the
performance of its portfolio or, more precisely, a part of the portfolio's value

A bond is a fixed income instrument that represents a loan made by an

investor to a borrower (typically corporate or governmental)
Hedge funds are private investments that are only available to accredited
investors. Hedge funds are known for using higher risk investing strategies
with the goal of achieving higher returns for their investors

An ETF is a fund that can be traded on an exchange like a stock, which means
they can be bought and sold throughout the trading day (unlike mutual funds,
which are priced at the end of the trading day). ETFs give you a way to buy
and sell a basket of assets without having to buy all the components
individually, and they often have lower fees than other types of funds.
Depending on the type, ETFs have varying levels of risk.

a stock index, or stock market index, is an index that measures a stock market,
or a subset of the stock market, that helps investors compare current price
levels with past prices to calculate market performance. Stock indexes can
serve as benchmarks for investors measuring the performance of their own
investment portfolio. Common U.S. stock market indexes include the S&P 500,
the NASDAQ, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Russell 2000 among
others.

Momentum investing is a strategy that aims to capitalize on the continuance

of an existing market trend
