Important Terms of Stock Market - 1

 We all have heard about the stock market at least once in our life, and now it is becoming more convenient to invest especially for the young generation. But do we know all the important terminologies about this market? Maybe or maybe not, so let's check out these important terminologies.


1. Volatility - 

The stock market is also famous because of the fluctuations in the prices, so this fluctuation in the prices of any stock is called Volatility. When the price is fluctuating rapidly then it is Highly volatile and vice versa.



2. Limit Order - 
When the trader or investor trades or invests at a particular price then that order is called a Limit Order. That means, if an investor wants to purchase a stock for Rs. 102/-, then the order will execute on the specific price.



3. Averaging Down - 
When an investor buys a stock at a higher price and then if he buys again the stock at a lower price now he is averaging down the price of the stock. For example, I purchased 5 Shares of any company at Rs. 450/- and now the price is  Rs. 300 and now I am buying 10 more shares at that price which means I am averaging my buying price.




4. IOC -

 No, it is not Indian Oil Corporation. It is an Immediate or Cancel order. That means, complete the order now otherwise the order will be canceled.




5. Spot Price - 

The Current Price of any stock is called as the Spot Price of the stock.  For example, the current price for the Company HUDCO is Rs. 36.85/- so the spot price of HUDCO is Rs. 36.85/-.


6. Underperforming Stock -  When the stock falls faster than the market sentiment then it is called an underperforming stock. For Example, the Nifty 50 is 100 points higher than yesterday but stock X's price has fallen down by 4%. Therefore here, Stock X is underperformed today.


7. Outperforming Stock - When the stock gives better returns than the market sentiment then it is called an outperforming stock. For Example, the Nifty 50 is 25 points lower than yesterday but stock A's price have grown by 8-9%. Therefore here, Stock A has outderperformed today.
