securities under the primary market. This private entity are called
Underwriters or investment house.
Types of underwriting agreement:

* On a Firm Basis - that the underwriter agrees to purchase all the shares of
the issuing corporation. With this, the issuing corporation is already assured of
the proceeds from selling of the securities.

allow the issued securities to be sold to interested buyer like institutional
buyers and investors and whatever left unsold, will be marketed by the
underwriter.

Trading in the Secondary Market
* Stock Exchanges - place or an organized market for securities take place

with its own set of rules. In the Philippines we have the Philippine Stock
Exchange.
* Over the counter market (OTC) - trading of securities that does not pass
thru the exchange. The trading of securities is between the buyer and the
seller
* Brokers - a person or firm that buys and sells the securities for the account
of others. The broker will receive commission brokers fee everytime there is a
sell or buy transactions.
* Dealer/Trader - a person or a firm that buys and sells securities for his own
account.
Price in the market:
* Bid Price - this is the buyers price. The minimum amount of the securities
that the sellers are willing to sell to the buyers.
* Asked Price - this is the sellers price. The maximum amount of the
securities that the buyers are willing to buy from the seller.
Unit of securities measurement

* Board lot or Round lot - the unit of trading of shares in the stock exchange.
The higher the stock price, the lower number of shares in a lot. The lower the
stock price, the higher number of shares in a lot.
* Odd lot - represent number of shares of stock that do not conform to the
required lot set by the exchange.
Types of Orders
* Market Order - an order to buy or sell securities at the prevailing market

price at the time the trading takes place.. Example: BPI is currently selling at
P46, investor instructs the broker to buy or sell at P46.
* Limit Order - an order to buy or sell securities at a specified volume and

price. An order by the investor to broker specifying the maximum price to buy
and the minimum price to sell. Example: buy TEL 1,000 shares at P900. If the
price of TEL goes up to P910, the order will not be completed.
* Buy up - an order to buy securities at the price higher than the prevailing
rate in order to satisfy the volume requirements of the investor. Example: an
investor wants to purchase one million shares of SMPH currently trading at
P6.30. If the volume offered by the sellers at P6.30 is not enough to satisfy his
requirements, the investor may instruct the broker to buy at the next higher
fluctuation (price fluctuation of P 0.10 or P6.40 to satisfy his demands
* Sell down - an order to sell securities at the price lower than the prevailing
rate in order to satisfy the volume requirements of the investor. Example: an
investor wants to unload (sell) 100,000 shares of PNB currently trading at
P26. If the volume offered by the buyer P26 is not enough to satisfy his
requirement, the investor may instruct the broker to sell at the next lower
fluctuation (price fluctuation of P 0.50 or P25.50) to complete his order.
Trading of stock maybe done:
* Margin Trading - trading of stock where you anticipate that the price will go
up. So you buy when the price is low and sell when the price is high, making a
margin. In margin trading, the purchase stocks partly finance by the broker
with the purchased stocks as collateral.
* Short Sales - is the sell of securities not owned by the seller with the hope
of buying back the same security at a lower price to lock in profits. So you sell
when the price is high and buy when the price went down.
