What is the “Gini” Statistical Diversion Index?

What it is – How it works?

[By Staff reporters]

The Gini Coefficient (also known as the Gini index or Gini ratio) is a measure of statistical dispersion intended to represent the income distribution of a nation’s residents, and is the most commonly used measure of inequality.

It is related to the Lorenz Curve and was developed by the Italian statistician and sociologist Corrado Gini and published in his 1912 paper Variability and Mutability.

What is Stock Market MOMENTUM?

By Staff Reporters

***

***

It’s useful to look at stock market levels compared to where they’ve been over the past few months. When the S&P 500 is above its moving or rolling average of the prior 125 trading days, that’s a sign of positive momentum. But if the index is below this average, it shows investors are getting skittish.

  • Momentum is the speed or velocity of price changes in a stock, security, or tradable instrument.
  • Momentum shows the rate of change in price movement over a period of time to help investors determine the strength of a trend.
  • Investors use momentum to trade stocks whereby a stock can exhibit bullish momentum–the price is rising–or bearish momentum–the price is falling.

The Fear & Greed Index uses slowing momentum as a signal for Fear and a growing momentum for Greed.

By Staff Reporters

What is Delta?

FINANCE: Delta is a risk sensitivity measure used in assessing derivatives. It is one of the many measures that are denoted by a Greek letter. The series of risk measures that use such letters are fittingly referred to as the Greeks. They are often also called risk measures, hedge parameters, or risk sensitivities.

ACCOUNTING: Delta is the ratio of the change in price of an option to the change in price of the underlying asset. Also called the hedge ratio; For a call option on a stock, a delta of 0.50 means that for every $1.00 that the stock goes up, the option price rises by $0.50.

STOCK MARKET: Where:

  • S – the stock price
  • K – the strike price
  • r – the risk-free rate
  • q – the annual dividend yield
  • τ – time until expiration
  • σ – the volatility

Bigger is NOT Always Better

[By staff reporters]
