Pump and Dump
Pump and dump is a type of stock market manipulation. It involves artificially inflating the price of a stock (the pump) through false positive statements, often via social media or email spam, and then selling the cheaply acquired stock (the dump) once the price has increased because of the resulting buying frenzy. Common in Indian penny stocks with poor liquidity. SEBI actively monitors and penalises these manipulations. Investors should avoid tips and conduct their own independent research before making investment decisions.
Differential Pricing
Differential pricing is a strategy that involves setting different prices for the same product or service based on the type of customer or tming.
For example, a zoo ticket may cost Rs. 10 for domestic visitors and Rs. 100 for international visitors. Or, when buying a product gets costlier as and when the last date for the sale approaches.
That’s why differential pricing is also known as discriminatory pricing and variable pricing.

Preferred Stock
Preferred stock is a class of ownership in a corporation that has a higher claim on assets and earnings than common stock. Preferred stockholders receive dividends, and they must be paid out prior to any dividends being distributed to common stockholders. Unlike common stock, preferred stock does not come with voting rights. It is a hybrid security, with elements of both equity (ownership) and debt (fixed payments of dividends).
Venture Capital
Venture capital refers to funding provided to early-stage or high-growth companies with strong future potential but higher risk. For example, a venture capital firm investing in a fintech startup in exchange for equity expects substantial returns if the company scales successfully or goes public.
