SPAC's

Special purpose acquisition companies (SPAC) are publicly-traded buyout companies that raise collective investment funds in the form of blind pool money, through an initial public offering (IPO), for the purpose of completing an acquisition of an existing private company

Preferred stock

Stock that entitles the holder to a fixed dividend, whose payment takes priority over that of common-stock dividends.

Series 63 Exam

The Series 63 is a securities license entitling the holder to solicit orders for any type of security in a particular state. Securities agents must acquire the Series 63 license, in addition to a Series 7 or Series 6 license, to sell securities. To obtain a Series 63 license, the applicant must pass an exam and possess knowledge of ethical practices and fiduciary obligations.

Primary vs. Secondary markets

The difference between the primary capital market and the secondary capital market is that in the primary market, investors buy securities directly from the company issuing them, while in the secondary market, investors trade securities among themselves, and the company with the security being traded does usually not participate in the transaction.

144a

What is the 'Rule 144A' Rule 144(a) is a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rule modifying a two-year holding period requirement on privately placed securities to permit qualified institutional buyers to trade these positions among themselves.

Baby bonds

A baby bond is a fixed income security issued in small dollar denominations, with a par value of less than $1,000. The small denominations enhance the attraction of baby bonds to average retail investor.

Bought Deals

A bought deal is a securities offering in which an investment bank commits to buy the entire offering from the client company. A bought deal eliminates the issuing company's financing risk, ensuring that it will raise the intended amount. However, the client firm will likely get a lower price by taking this approach instead of pricing it via the public markets with a preliminary prospectus filing

MiFID II

A revamped version of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive, or Mifid II, is designed to offer greater protection for investors and inject more transparency into all asset classes: from equities to fixed income, exchange traded funds and foreign exchange.

CMPO's

CMPOs provide issuers and underwriters with flexibility to gauge market interest on a confidential basis prior to making a deal public. For the right issuer, CMPOs can be an effective alternative to the more conventional marketed underwritten public offering.

Stock pitch steps (fund, stock, commodity)

Typical layout for a stock pitch: 1. Valuation - I like X as a buy. It's currently trading at 8x P/E vs. 15x it's peer group (undervalued) OR it's currently down X% on the year and I think it's a good entry point 2. Catalysts - here's what I think will drive the stock up in the near term: Catalyst 1, Catalyst 2.... 3. Upside/Downside - If these catalysts play out, I see X% upside in the stock. Potential downside if these don't play out is X%

Reg D

Under another SEC rule known as Regulation D, which exempts companies that seek to raise less than $1 million from capital markets in a 12-month period, some smaller companies can offer and sell securities without registering the transaction.
