Annotated Chapter Outline
5.1 Private Equity versus Selling Securities to the Public
A. Private Equity
Private Equity refers to the rapidly growing area of equity financing for nonpublic
companies.
A. The Structure of Private Equity Funds
There are many similarities to hedge funds (high water mark, fee structure,
limited partnership, etc.). The main difference is that a private equity fund invests
in private companies, typically using convertible securities (like preferred stock)
to minimize risk and retain upside potential.
One added feature of performance compensation is a clawback provision, which
means any prior performance fees must be returned if subsequent losses occur.
Thus, most performance fees are retained as ficarried interest” until the fund
matures and is liquidated.
B. Types of Private Equity Funds
Venture Capital: financing for new, often high-risk ventures
Middle Market: smaller, established companies (often family owned)
Leveraged Buyouts: taking firms public

The Stock Market 5-4
C. Selling Securities to the Public
In the primary market, companies issue new securities to raise money. In the
secondary market, investors constantly appraise the values of companies by
buying and selling shares previously issued by these companies.
D. The Primary Market for Common Stock
The market in which new securities are originally sold to investors.
Initial public offering (IPO): An initial public offer occurs when a company offers
stock for sale to the public for the first time.
Seasoned equity offering (SEO): The sale of additional shares of stock by a
company whose shares are already publicly traded.
General cash offer: An issue of securities offered for sale to the general public
on a cash basis.
Rights offer: A public issue of securities in which securities are first offered to
shareholders.
Investment banking firm: A firm specializing in arranging financing for
companies.
Underwrite: To assume the risk of buying newly issued securities from a
company and reselling them to investors.
Underwriter spread: Compensation to the underwriter, determined by the
difference between the underwriter’s buying price and offering price.
Syndicate: A group of underwriters formed to share the risk and to help sell an
issue.
Firm commitment underwriting: A type of underwriting in which the
underwriter buys the entire issue, assuming full financial responsibility for any
unsold shares.
Best efforts underwriting: The underwriter sells as much of the issue as
possible, but can return any unsold shares to the issuer without financial
responsibility.
Dutch auction underwriting: The offer price is set based on competitive
bidding by investors.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): Federal agency charged with
enforcing U.S. securities laws and regulations.
Prospectus: Document prepared as part of a security offering detailing a
company's financial position, operations, and investment plans for the future.
Red herring: A preliminary prospectus not yet approved by the SEC.
Securities are first bought and sold in the primary market, both through IPOs and
as seasoned offerings. The investment banking firm establishes the financing
package, advises on the pricing and number of shares, and arranges distribution
of the shares. The underwriter spread, the "mark-up" on the stock price, is the

Education.
The Stock Market 5-5
basic part of the underwriter's compensation. The stock may be distributed as a
fixed commitment (which is the most common), or on a best effort's basis. The
other form is a Dutch auction.
All issues must be approved by the SEC, with the prospectus being issued to
investors prior to sale of the stock. To advertise the issue, a tombstone
advertisement will usually appear in the Wall Street Journal or another financial
publication.
Lecture Tip: Examples are very helpful when discussing the primary market and
explaining the differences between a fixed commitment and a best efforts
offering. The most current one that would be of interest to students is Facebook.
The Wall Street Journal website has numerous videos detailing the IPO. It is also
good to emphasize that the underwriter takes on the risk of the issue not
completely selling with a fixed commitment offering, whereas the company takes
the risk in a best efforts arrangement.
Lecture Tip: There are many investment terms that are used because of tradition
or historical significance. The red herring statement and the tombstone
advertisement are two of those. The term fired herring” relates to the red stamp
"preliminary" on the front of the preliminary prospectus, but it also relates to the
old saying of "don't buy a red herring." The tombstone advertisement is called
such because the advertisement looks like a tombstone in a graveyard. A legal
statement appears on all tombstone advertisements: "This announcement is
neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these Securities.
The offer is made only by Prospectus." The wording may vary somewhat, but the
statement meets the SEC requirements of providing the prospectus to investors
before soliciting a purchase.
F. The Secondary Market for Common Stock
In the secondary market investors buy and sell shares with other investors.
Secondary market trading is directed through three channels:
Directly with other investors
Indirectly through a broker who arranges transactions for others
Directly with a dealer who buys and sells securities from inventory
G. Dealers and Brokers
Dealer: A trader who buys and sells securities from inventory.
Broker: An intermediary who arranges security transactions among
investors.
Bid price: The price a dealer is willing to pay.

Education.
The Stock Market 5-6
Ask price: The price at which a dealer is willing to sell. Also called the
offer or offering price.
Spread: The difference between the bid and ask prices.
A dealer maintains an inventory and stands ready to buy and sell at any time.
The dealer maintains an inventory to accommodate order imbalances. The
dealer is willing to pay the bid price and will sell at the ask price. The difference is
the bid-ask spread. The dealer profits through strategically setting the spread.
The broker brings together buyers and sellers, but does not maintain an
inventory. The broker facilitates trades by others.
The largest secondary market by market capitalization is the NYSE. By number
of companies listed and shares traded it is the Nasdaq.
Lecture Tip: It is useful to point out to students that the bid-ask spread is not
fixed, but changes frequently. Two important factors in determining the spread
are the perceived risk and the volume. Dealers will typically increase the spread
when the perceived risk is higher, and decrease the spread when the risk is
lower.
5.2 The New York Stock Exchange
The NYSE was 200 years old in 1992. For more than 200 years, the NYSE
operated as a not-for-profit corporation owned by its members, the securities
firms and brokerage companies. On March 8, 2006, the NYSE went public
(ticker NYX) and became a publicly traded for-profit corporation. On April 4,
2007, NYSE Holdings merged with Euronext N.V. and launched NYSE Euronext.
NYSE Euronext was, at the time, the world’s largest exchange. In 2013, NYSE
Euronext was acquired by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE).
A. NYSE Membership History
NYSE exchange member: As of 2006, the owner of a trading license on
the NYSE is an exchange member.
Historically, the NYSE had 1,366 members who fiowned” seats on the exchange.
Seat owners could buy and sell securities on the exchange floor with no
commission. Since 1929, the lowest seat price paid was $55,000 (1977). In 2005,
a seat sold for a record price of about $4 million. In 2006, all of this changed
when the NYSE became a publicly owned corporation called NYSE Group, Inc.
Its stock listed on the NYSE. Now, instead of purchasing seats, exchange
members must purchase trading licenses, the number of which is limited to
1,366. In 2012, a license would set you back $50,000 per year. Before the NYSE

The Stock Market 5-7
went public, NYSE members collectively owned the exchange. Today, the
shareholders of ICE own the exchange.
B. Designated Market Makers
Specialist: NYSE member acting as a dealer on the exchange floor. They
are often called market makers. The role of a traditional specialist has
been phased out and replaced by two types of market makers:
Designated Market Maker (DMM): assigned a set of securities and
obligated to maintain a fair and orderly market. DMMs, however, face
fewer trading restrictions than specialists did.
Supplemental Liquidity Provider (SLP): located away from the
exchange and have fewer price posting requirements, but are similar in
that they provide market liquidity.
C. Other NYSE Participants
Floor brokers: Agents who execute customer orders to buy and sell stock
transmitted to the exchange floor. Typically they are employees of NYSE
member firms.
SuperDOT system: Electronic NYSE system allowing orders to be
transmitted directly to market makers for immediate execution. Eliminated
and replaced by the Super Display Book system (SDBK).
Floor brokers execute customer orders to buy and sell stocks, and are typically
employees of NYSE member brokerage firms. Their responsibility is to get the
best possible price for their customers.
DMMs act as an assigned dealer for a small set of securities. DMMs are also
called market makers, and they are assigned the responsibility of maintaining a
fair and orderly market in a security. They make a market by standing ready to
buy at bid prices and sell at ask prices, acting as dealers for their own accounts.
They also maintain an inventory in the security, and provide liquidity to the
market.
The Super Display Book (SDBK) system, connected to the Arca, allows orders to
be transmitted electronically and accounts for a substantial percentage of all
trading.

D. The NYSE Hybrid Market
Hybrid trading combines the exchange’s automated technology with the
advantages of an auction market. In the Hybrid market, DDMs and floor brokers
interact with the market electronically as well as in person.
E. NYSE-Listed Stocks
There is an initial listing fee, and an annual listing fee that must be paid by firms
on the NYSE. Some example minimum requirements by the NYSE in 2016
included:
Total shareholders must be at least 2,200 (400 round lots for IPOs), with
100,000 shares traded a month on average for the most recent six
months.
At least 1.1 million shares must be held by the public.
Publicly held shares must have at least $100 million market value ($40
million for IPOs).
Company must have annual earnings of $10 million before taxes in the
previous three years, and $2 million in each of the preceding two years.
5.3 Operation of the New York Stock Exchange
The business of the NYSE is to attract and process order flow, the flow of
customer orders to buy and sell stock. In 2015, trading volume regularly reached
1.5 billion shares per day. About one-third of the trading volume is attributable to
individual investors, and almost half (or more) is derived from institutional
investors or high frequency traders.
A. NYSE Floor Activity
DDM post: Fixed place on the exchange floor where the DDM operates.
Market order: A customer order to buy or sell securities marked for
immediate execution at the current market price.
Most of the activity on the floor of the exchange takes place around the DDM’s
post. The clerks operate behind the counters, and the commission brokers
receive customer orders and walk to the DDM's post to execute the orders. When
a customer issues a market order, they want to buy or sell at the current market
price, with the order marked for immediate execution. The broker will try to get
the best price possible.

The Stock Market 5-9
B. Special Order Types
Limit order: Customer order to buy or sell securities with a specified
"limit" price. The order can be executed only at the limit price or a better
price.
Stop order: Customer order to buy or sell securities when a preset "stop"
price is reached.
Stop-limit order: Customer order to buy or sell securities when a preset
fistop” price is reached, with an additional restriction that a specified filimit”
price cannot be violated.
Many NYSE orders are limit orders, where a customer specifies a maximum
price to pay (buy order) or minimum price to accept (sell order). The customer is
not willing to accept any price above (buy) or below (sell) the specified price. A
stop order specifies a "stop" price, which is a trigger price for the order to be
converted into a market order. The stop order does not place a maximum or
minimum limit on the trade price. Once converted to a market order, the trade is
executed like any other market order.
Stop-loss orders (selling when price falls to a particular level) are designed to
prevent loss, but when prices fall rapidly, sellers realize a much lower price than
expected. Realizing this risk, the NYSE is eliminating stop orders, but brokers
can still facilitate these, so long as the triggered ordered is converted to a market
order prior to execution.
5.4 NASDAQ
NASDAQ stands for National Association of Securities Dealers Automated
Quotations system. In terms of dollar volume the NYSE is larger, but in terms of
share volume the NASDAQ is larger.
A. NASDAQ Operations
Over-the-counter (OTC) market: Securities market in which trading is
almost exclusively done through dealers who buy and sell for their own
inventories.
The NASDAQ is a network of securities dealers who disseminate timely security
price quotes to NASDAQ subscribers. The dealers post bid prices and ask prices
as well as the number of shares they are willing to trade at the quoted prices.
NASDAQ market makers trade on an inventory basis, but there are multiple
market makers for actively traded stocks. The NASDAQ market is an OTC
market, although they are trying to lose that name.

The Stock Market 5-10
The two key differences between the NYSE and NASDAQ are:
NASDAQ is a computer network with no physical location.
NASDAQ has a multiple market maker system, rather than a specialist
system.
NASDAQ is managed by FINRA, the financial industry regulatory authority. In
fact, every broker or dealer in the U.S. that conducts a securities business is
regulated by FINRA.
B. NASDAQ Participants
The NASDAQ has historically been a dealer market, characterized by competing
market makers. In 2015, over 3,000 companies were listed on the NASDAQ
system (across the three platforms – Global Select, Global, and Capital).
In the late 1990s, the NASDAQ system was opened to the so-called electronic
communications networks (ECNs). ECNs are basically websites that allow
investors to trade directly with one another. As a result, individual investors can
enter orders (not just market markers). Hence, ECNs act to increase liquidity and
competition.
The NASDAQ network provides bid and ask prices as well as recent transaction
information. The bid and ask prices for the NASDAQ represent inside quotes.
That is, they are the highest bid and the lowest ask.
For a small fee, you can have access to fiLevel II” quotes. With Level II quotes,
you can see all bids and asks. Frequently, the identity of the market maker is
also displayed. Level III quotes are reserved for market makers.
Lecture Tip: When discussing the NASDAQ it is interesting to talk about the
firms listed on the NASDAQ. It is no longer every firm's goal to be eventually
listed on the NYSE—the NASDAQ is now an attractive competitor to the NYSE.
Ask students what firms they know are listed on the NASDAQ. They should be
able to suggest a number of firms, such as Intel, Microsoft, Google, and Apple.
5.5 NYSE and NASDAQ Competitors
Third market: This term refers to trading in exchange-listed securities that
occurs off the exchange on which the security is listed.
Fourth market: This term refers to direct trading of exchange-listed
securities among investors. (A good example is the ECN, Instinet.)

The Stock Market 5-11
The NYSE and NASDAQ face competition from the third market, the fourth
market, and regional exchanges. One example is Instinet, an electronic trading
network that facilitates trading among its subscribers. NASDAQ has SelectNet,
which has not been as popular as Instinet. Thousands of stock issues are dually
listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ, and on a regional exchange.
5.6 Stock Market Information
A. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) or "Dow" is the most widely followed
barometer of daily stock market activity. The DJIA is an index of 30 large "blue-
chip" companies representative of American industry. Two other Dow averages
include the utilities and transportation averages.
B. Stock Market Indexes
Price-weighted index: Stock market index in which stocks are held in
proportion to their share price.
Value-weighted index: Stock market index in which stocks are held in
proportion to the aggregate market value.
Lecture Tip: Stock indices can be calculated as price-weighted indexes or value-
weighted indexes. To compute a price weighted index, take the price of each
stock in the index, add them up, and divide by the number of stocks. It is
basically a simple average. To compute a value-weighted index, multiply the
number of shares of each stock in the index by the corresponding share price,
and sum the products to give the total market value. Then divide this total market
value by the latest index divisor to give the index value. The initial index divisor is
the initial (base period) total market value divided by the desired initial index
value. The divisor changes as stocks are added to or deleted from the index.
C. More on Price-Weighted Indexes
Lecture Tip: It becomes apparent after some observation that the price-weighted
index has some problems. Since it is a simple average of the share prices of the
stocks in the index, the value can be unduly influenced by the price changes of
one high-priced stock. Also, the index must be adjusted for stock splits and stock
dividends. This tends to cause the divisor to change, in fact decrease, over time.
D. The Dow Jones Divisors

Education.
The Stock Market 5-12
As of October 27, 2015, the DJIA divisor was a nice, round 0.14967727343. A
divisor that is less than one will further magnify any price change effects. This is
one reason we see such large swings in the DJIA.
E. More on Index Formation: Base-Year Values
Index staleness: Condition that occurs when an index does not reflect all
current price information because some of the stocks in the index have not
traded recently.
If there are problems with price-weighted indices, why do we continue to follow
the DJIA? The answer is tradition. The most popular alternative to the DJIA is the
value-weighted S&P 500 index, which provides frequent accurate updates of
market prices. This index accounts for a major portion of overall stock market
value with its representative 500 stocks.
