Treasury stock refers to shares that a company has repurchased from the open market and holds in its own treasury. These shares do not pay dividends and typically have no voting rights. Companies repurchase shares to improve earnings per share, optimise capital structure, or support stock price stability.

Overbought
An overbought term refers to a security whose price has advanced sharply, and the broader market sentiment suggests that a price correction or reversal is likely to occur in the near future. It does not necessarily mean the price will go down, but that the upward momentum is unsustainable. Technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) or Stochastic Oscillator are widely used by traders for identifying overbought situations. An RSI above 70 is considered an overbought indicator.
Discounted Cash Flow
Discounted cash flow is a method of valuing a company in the present based on future cash flows. An investment may be profitable in the present if the discounted cash flow is above the current cost of investing.
The formula to calculate discounted cash flows is:
DCF = Cash Flow Year 1 / (1+r1)^1 + Cash Flow Year 2 / (1+r2)^2 + Cash Flow Year N / (1+r)^n
The formula to calculate discounted cash flows is:
DCF = Cash Flow Year 1 / (1+r1)^1 + Cash Flow Year 2 / (1+r2)^2 + Cash Flow Year N / (1+r)^n

Position Sizing
Position Sizing is a risk management technique for market participants to decide the number of units (shares, futures contracts, or option lots) of a specific security to buy or sell. The main objective is to restrict the potential amount of loss from any single trade to a small percentage of the overall trading capital (e.g., 1% or 2%). Traders use position sizing to ensure that even if a trade goes against them, the loss won't significantly damage their overall capital.
Placing
Placing, or Private Placement, is a process of raising capital in which a company sells its securities (stocks or bonds) to a selected group of investors (such as banks, mutual funds, insurance companies) or high net worth individuals instead of selling them to the general public through a public offering (like an IPO). In India, companies frequently use private placement to raise funds in a short period of time from specific investors. This is a faster and less expensive process than a public issue.
