Other Trading Basics
Annual Report
The annual audited full year accounts of a particular company along with statements from the Chairman and Chief Executive.
Poured over by analysts for any gems.
ABS
Asset-backed securities.
These are securities backed by assets, like mortgages, which are claimable if the creditor defaults.
Commercial Paper
How big companies finance short-term cash flow.
Like bonds but without the coupon, instead, the APR is determined by the discount the agreements are entered into and the length of time to repayment.
For example, a blue chip company might borrow $9.95m dollars today and repay $10m in a month’s time.
