observation

The explanation of some of the stock Exchange terms were well attempted. But the following should be noted.
Option: is chance to buy or sell a share at an agreed price and at an agreed future time. An option to buy is called - call option while option to sell is called - put option.

Backwardation is a penalty paid to stock broker by a seller of shares who fails to deliver on the agreed date.
