Typical Features and Risk involved while investing in US Markets


There are certain typical features of US markets which need to be considered bef
ore investing:
Exchange Risk: Due to the fact that the investments are made in dollars, they ar
e subject to currency risk based on the movement of dollar price. So exchange lo
ss may be incurred on the portfolio.
Option Symbols:
There is no standard way for determining options root symbols, however there are
some general guidelines available for the same. For NYSE stocks, the options ro
ot and the stock root are usually the same. For example, IBM options begin with
IBM, and T options begin with T. Options roots, however, can never have more tha
n three letters. So options root symbols for NASDAQ stocks are different than th
e stock symbols. Microsoft, for example, has the symbol MSFT for the stock and M
SQ for the root options symbol. And Intel has INTC for the stock and INQ for the
options.
The last two letters after the options root symbol indicate (1) the options type
and expiration month and (2) the strike price.
One complication is that when a stock's price range is greater than $100, then t
he option root symbol has to change for every $100. Otherwise, the 105, 205 and
305 calls would have the same symbols, and that obviously cannot happen.
Another complication, is that the same strike-price options sometimes have diffe
rent root symbols. This typically occurs when there is 3-for-2 or other "non-eve
n" stock splits. When these splits occur, there are "non-standard" options in ad
dition to "standard" options. For standard options contracts, 100 shares typical
ly underlie the contract, and non-standard options will have some other quantity
. If a $60 stock splits 3-for-2, for example, then, after the split, there would
be standard $40 options covering 100 shares and non-standard options covering 1
50 shares. To distinguish between them they each have their own root symbol.

Different classes of shares: In US markets there are multiple classes of shares


for same company which may be common stock (there might be different classes in
common stock also) as well as preferred stock . These are listed as different sc
rips and have different prices. Please choose carefully before investing in thes
e.
