OTC Market • Dealer market without centralized order flow • NASDAQ: largest organized stock market for OTC trading; information system for individuals, brokers and dealers • Levels of interaction: users, market-makers • Securities: stocks, bonds and derivatives • Most secondary bonds transactions

  12. Third Market • Trading of listed securities away from the exchange • Institutional market: to facilitate trades of larger blocks of securities • Involves services of dealers and brokers

  19. Margin Trading • Using only a portion of the proceeds for an investment • Borrow remaining component • Margin arrangements differ for stocks and futures

  20. Stock Margin Trading • Greatest margin • Currently 30% • Set by the securities commissions • Minimum margin • Minimum level the equity margin can be (called “maintenance” in USA) • Margin call • Call for more equity funds

  21. Margin Trading - Initial Conditions X Corp $70 50% Initial Margin 30% Minimum Margin 1000 Shares Purchased Initial Position Stock $70,000 Borrowed $35,000 Equity $35,000

  22. Margin Trading - Minimum Margin Stock price falls to $60 per share New Position Stock $60,000 Borrowed $35,000 Equity $25,000 Margin% = $25,000/$60,000 = 41.67%

  23. Margin Trading - Margin Call • How far can the stock price fall before a margin call? Therefore, P = $50 Note: 1,000xP – Amount Borrowed = Equity

  24. Leveraging effect of margin purchases • You buy 200 shares of XYZ at $100, expecting a 30% appreciation of the stock in one year: • Initial margin: 50% • Financed by a 9% loan for one year • Expected net return: 51% • A 30% drop in the price, though, brings a negative rate of return of -69%.

  25. Short Sales • Purpose: to profit from a decline in the price of a stock or security Mechanics • Borrow stock through a dealer • Sell it and deposit proceeds and margin in an account • Close out the position: buy the stock and return it to the owner

  26. Short Sale - Initial Conditions Z Corp 100 Shares 50% Initial Margin 30% Minimum Margin $100 Initial Price Sale Proceeds $10,000 Margin & Equity $ 5,000 Stock Owed $10,000

  27. Short Sale - Minimum Margin Stock Price Rises to $110 Sale Proceeds $10,000 Initial Margin $ 5,000 Stock Owed $11,000 Net Equity $ 4,000 Margin % (4,000/11,000) = 36%

  28. Short Sale - Margin Call • How much can the stock price rise before a margin call? So, P = $115.38 Note: $15,000 = Initial margin + sale proceeds

  29. Summary Reminder • Objective: To explain the institutional details and mechanics of investing in securities. • How firms issue securities • Organization of secondary markets • Trading and execution • Margin trading • Costs and regulation

  30. Costs of Trading • Commission: fee paid to broker for making the transaction • Full service broker • Discount broker • Spread: cost of trading with dealer • Bid: price dealer will buy from you • Ask: price dealer will sell to you • Spread: ask - bid • Execution: better price obtained

  31. Internet Trading • On-line brokers (discount or full-service) • ECNs – electronic communication networks • Pre- and post-market trading (lack of integration, thin trading)

  32. Regulation of Securities Markets • Government Regulation • Self-Regulation in the Industry • Circuit Breakers • Insider Trading
