A derivative is a security which "derives" its value from another underlying (61) instrument, index, or other investment. Derivatives are available based on the performance of stocks, interest rates, currency exchange rates, as well as (62) contracts and various indexes. Derivatives give the buyer greater leverage for a (63) cost than purchasing the actual underlying instrument to achieve the same position. For this reason, when used properly, they can serve to "hedge" a (64) of securities against losses. However, because derivatives have a date of (65) , the level of risk is greatly increased in relation to their term. One of the simplest forms of a derivative is a stock option. A stock option gives the holder the right to buy or sell the underlying stock at a fixed price for a specified period of time.(46)A．bankB．financialC．mathematicD．securities

But the “castle” had not been very 38. completely conquered. The first girls to work in “The House” were not brokers or jobbers. 39. They were neither allowed to be become partners in stocking firms, nor to be authorized dealers 40. in stocks and shares. They were simply junior clerks and telephone operators.

问答题Practice 3 Equity securities are known as shares (or stock) in a corporation. Stockholders are considered owners of the corporation. The Articles of Incorporation must state the number of shares and the characteristics of the stock. To issue stock is actually to offer shares of stock for sale. The corporation’s Board of Directors controls when and to whom the corporation’s shares are offered and sold. Outstanding shares—Outstanding shares are shares already issued and purchased by the shareholder or stockholder. Par value—Par value is an arbitrary value assigned to each share in the Articles of Incorporation but does not necessarily reflect the true market value of the stock. Shares may not be issued and sold by the corporation for less than their par value therefore it is sometimes advisable not to state any par value at all or state a par value lower than the estimated market price. No par value allows the Board of Directors to decide each time shares are issued what the price per share will be. In a very large corporation where the stock is publicly traded at a public exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, the public demand for the stock of the corporation rather than the Board of Directors determines the selling price of the stock. Capital account—The capital account of a corporation is an entry in the books of the corporation and is determined by multiplying the par or stated value of the corporation’s stock by the number of shares outstanding. For example, if the corporation had sold 1,000 shares of stock which had $10 par value, the capital account would be $10,000.
