Basing
Basing happens when a security trades sideways after prolonged periods of falling prices.
As a result, the security forms a “base” or flat pattern which means there is little to no upward or downward movement and a decline in volatility.
This may go on for a relatively long time but is crucial as basing is an indicator of any meaningful reversal that may happen.

Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk refers to the probable decline in the value of a fixed income security because of a fluctuation in the interest rate. Fixed income securities lose value when interest rates rise whereas a bond or other debt instruments become more valuable when interest rates fall. Equity shares and securities do not carry interest rate risk.
Commodity Spread Straddle
A commodity spread straddle or simply a commodity straddle is an options trading strategy where a trader will buy call and put options with the same strike price and expiration date.
The goal of a commodity straddle is to create a neutral strategy that wins in the event that the underlying security’s price rises or falls. That said, the profits must be higher than the total premium paid for the options.

Discount Brokers
Discount brokers are platforms that offer essential stock trading and investment services rather than a full stack of services that may or may not be useful for everyone.
Discount brokers are discount brokers because their service is priced competitively, meaning the cost of trading and investing may be significantly low than a fullservice broker.

Beta Stocks
Beta of stocks measures the risk that the shares carry compared to the broader market. Theoretically, the market is said to have a default Beta of 1. As a result, Beta stocks can be of four types:
- High Beta Stocks : typically having a Beta value of more than 1, these stocks are known to be high-risk, high-reward investments
- Low Beta Stocks : typically having a Beta value of less than 1, these stocks are known to be low-risk, low-reward investments
- Negative Beta Stocks : typically having a Beta value of less than zero, these stocks are known to have an inverse correlation with the market
- Same as the market : typically having a Beta that’s equal to 1, these stocks are known to share characteristics with the market
Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)
Compounded Annual Growth Rate shows how much returns on average an investment can generate over a year, given the data for a period of time (say 5+ years).
CAGR is an indicative measure of yearly returns growth that assumes the profits are reinvested. The formula to calculate Compound Annual Growth Rate is:
CAGR = [(Ending value/Beginning Value)^(1/N)]-1
