-
Weighted Alpha
-
The Alpha is a measure of how much a stock has risen or fallen over a one-year
period. The original research was restricted to large cap stocks, so the
corresponding rise in the S&P 500 index was subtracted; however, as there
are a number of interesting stocks that do not fit well into any category, and
others that fit into more than one category, the results are presented without
subtracting any index.
Barchart.com takes this Alpha (measure of how much a stock has changed in the
one-year period) and weights this, assigning more weight to recent activity,
and less (0.5 factor) to activity at the beginning of the period. Thus the
weighted alpha is a measure of one year growth with an emphasis on the most
recent price activity.
A stock whose price has risen over the one-year period will have a positive
Weighted Alpha. A stock whose price has not changed in the period will have a
small Weighted Alpha and a stock whose price has dropped over the period will
have a negative Weighted Alpha.
N.B. The Weighted Alpha is limited in the amount it may change from one day to
the next, thus eliminating large price jumps from the calculation . - American
Depositary Receipt (ADR)
-
A security, created by a U.S. bank, that evidences ownership to a specified
number of shares of a foreign security held in a depositary in the issuing
company's country of domicile. The certificate, transfer, and settlement
practices for ADRs are identical to those for U.S. securities. U.S. investors
often prefer ADRs to direct purchase of foreign shares because of the ready
availability of price information, lower transaction costs, and timely dividend
distribution.
- American Stock Exchange (AMEX)
-
The second-oldest U.S. stock exchange, located on Wall Street in New York City.
Started as an alternative to the NYSE, the AMEX originating on the curb outside
the NYSE, where brokers traded stocks that failed to meet the Big Board's
listing requirements. Considerably smaller in market capitalization and trading
volume than NASDAQ and the NYSE, the AMEX conducts trading through a
centralized specialist system and is home primarily to small and medium-sized
companies
- AMEX Composite - XAX
-
The AMEX Composite Index - (XAX) the American Stock Exchange introduced
a new AMEX Composite Index with a new ticker symbol, XAX, on January 2, 1997.
The XAX is a market capitalization-weighted, price appreciation index, and
replaces the AMEX Market Value Index (XAM) which, since its inception, has been
calculated on a "total return basis" to include the reinvestment of dividends
paid by AMEX companies. The new AMEX Composite Index is more comparable with
other major indexes, which reflect only the price appreciation of their
respective components.

dividend is considered fully-annualized at its base value. One-time dividends
are not multiplied. See also: Dividend.

numeric value:
1. Strong Buy
2. Buy
3. Hold
4. Underperform
5. Sell
Each recommendation received from the analysts is mapped to one of the I/B/E/S
standard ratings. Assigning a numeric value to the broker text enables I/B/E/S
to calculate a consensus recommendation. This consensus recommendation appears
as the mean (average) of the assigned values. - Date of Record

- Diluted EPS
- Diluted EPS is a company's EPS figure as calculated using fully diluted shares outstanding. It takes into account non-exercised stock options and convertible bonds, hence the number is fully diluted.
EOL sends YTD diluted EPS numbers as reported by the companies on the SEC quarterly and annual filings. ISS calculates trailing twelve months diluted EPS using the last 12 months diluted numbers provided by EOL. ISS takes into account the YTD aspect of those numbers and calculates the TTM EPS accordingly. ISS also adjusts the EPS numbers if the company issued stock splits or reverse splits in the last 12 months.
GoldPlated receives this adjusted TTM EPS from ISS.

reduce the risk inherent in particular securities. An investor seeking
diversification for a securities portfolio would purchase securities of firms
that are not similarly affected by the same variables. For example, an investor
would not want to combine large investment positions in airlines, trucking and
automobile manufacturing because each industry is significantly affected by oil
prices and interest rates.
- Dividend
-

paid in the form of money, stock, scrip, or, rarely, company products or
property. The amount is decided by the Board of Directors and is usually paid

basis from the fund's investments.
- Dow Jones Industrial Average -
DJIA
-
The Dow Jones Industrial Average index - (DJIA) is a price-weighted
average of 30 actively traded blue chip stocks, primarily industrials but
including American Express Co. and American Telephone and Telegraph Co.

quoted of all the market indicators. The components, which change from time to
time, represent between 15% and 20% of the market value of NYSE stocks. The
DJIA is calculated by adding the closing prices of the component stocks and
using a divisor that is adjusted for splits and stock dividends equal to 10% or
more of the market value of an issue as well as substitutions and mergers. The
average is quoted in points, not in dollars.

one of the funds can usually switch their money into any of the family's other
funds, sometimes at no charge. Family of funds with no sales charges are called
no load families. Those with sales charges are called load families.
- Fiscal
Periods
-
Because not all companies have the same fiscal year end, we, in cooperation
with I/B/E/S, use FY1, FY2, etc., to identify unique fiscal periods for
forecast data. For comparison purposes, I/B/E/S rounds off the quarter end
dates to the nearest month end.
The following is a description of how this labeling works:
FY = fiscal year
Q = quarter
SAN = semiannual
The most recently reported earnings number is denoted with a zero (0). Then,
the first estimate year is denoted with a one (1), the year after that, a two
(2), and so on. So, as an example, if FY0 corresponds to the December 96 year
end reported, then FY1 data refers to estimates for December 97, FY2 refers to
estimates for the December 98 year end, and so on. Use the same conventions for
interim periods (quarter and semiannual). - Footnotes:

sell the stocks they represent. There are over 500 member firms that act as
NASDAQ Market Makers. One of the major differences between The NASDAQ Stock
Market and other major markets in the U.S. is NASDAQ's structure of competing
Market Makers. Each Market Maker competes for customer order flow by displaying
buy and sell quotations for a guaranteed number of shares. Once an order is
received, the Market Maker will immediately purchase for or sell from its own
inventory, or seek the other side of the trade until it is executed, often in a
matter of seconds.
- Market Maker Spread
-
The difference between the price at which a Market Maker is willing to buy a
security and the price at which the firm is willing to sell it i.e., the
difference between a Market Maker's bid and ask for a given security. Since
each Market Maker positions itself to either buy or sell inventory at any given
time, each individual Market Maker spread is not indicative of the market as a
whole. (See also "Inside Market".)

displayed price.
- Market Surveillance
-
The department responsible for investigating and preventing abusive,
manipulative, or illegal trading practices on The NASDAQ Stock Market.
Considerable resources are devoted to surveilling The NASDAQ Stock Market. A
vast array of sophisticated automated systems reviews each trade and price
quotation on an on-line, real-time basis. Off-line computer-based analyses are
conducted to evaluate trading patterns on a monthly, weekly and daily basis.
Whenever any of these automated systems indicate unusual price or volume in a
stock, NASDAQ Market Surveillance analysts determine if this was the result of
legitimate market forces or perhaps a violation of rules. Among other things,
analysts review press releases, review historical trading activity, interview
brokers, Market Makers, and NASDAQ-listed company officials. Market
Surveillance continues its inquiries until unusual movements are adequately
explained.
If legitimate market forces were at work the case is closed without action. If
it appears rule violations have occurred, a disciplinary action is initiated.
Where corporate insiders or members of the investing public are involved in a
potential violation, the case will be referred to the SEC.

NASDAQ Composite Index -
-
The NASDAQ Composite Index measures all NASDAQ domestic and non-U.S. based
common stocks listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market. The Index is market-value
weighted. This means that each company's security affects the Index in
