What is Bombay Stock Exchange: Definition & Meaning Explained

Anchoring and Adjustment

Anchoring is a bias that drives people to make decisions that are based on (anchored to) pre-existing notions, ideas, and suggestions that may or may not be true.

Adjustments around anchoring are common as it becomes a starting point for many when it comes to decision-making.

For example, someone is anchored to a financial model or strategy. They may choose to use the anchor in situations where it may not fit and as a result, may end up getting an unfavorable outcome.

Long-Term Stocks

Long-term stocks are shares of companies that investors hold for three years or more with the intention of getting lucrative returns combined with solid future prospects. Long-term stocks are typically chosen based on fundamental analysis, including factors such as the company's financial health, growth potential, competitive advantage, and industry trends.

Book Running Lead Manager

A book running lead manager is the head or lead of the underwriting process when new shares or securities are issued for their client, most commonly during an IPO.

For context, there was a time when physical ownership certificates were issued. If someone wanted to sell their shares, they’d have to present the ownership certificate and get it transferred to the buyer.

Also known as the book runner, the book running lead manager handles these crucial elements of the underwriting process:

Perform due diligence
Determine the final offering price
Record & track interested buyers
Confirm orders
Guarantee purchase

Common Stocks

A common stock is a type of share that gives the holder the right to a part of a company’s profits, voting on key policies and decisions. Common stockholders have an advantage over preferred stockholders because they can:

Get higher returns
A part of the assets left after a company is liquidated (in case of default)

Commodity

A commodity refers to physical goods and raw materials like aluminium, cotton, copper, sugar, steel, zinc, and others. Commodities are an essential part of the day-to-day life of individuals, companies, and industries.

But they can’t be traded like stocks in India. Instead, a commodity trader will enter into either of these three contracts to secure commodities or benefit from its price fluctuations:

Futures contracts
Options contracts
Cash contracts

These derivative contracts are traded on commodity exchanges in India like:

Indian Commodity Exchange (ICEX)
Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX)
National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX)
National Multi Commodity Exchange of India (NMCX)
