Money market instruments are short-term debt obligations of large corporations and governments. These securities promise to make one future payment. When they are issued, their lives are less than one
year.
Fixed-income securities are longer-term debt obligations of corporations and governments. These securities promise to make fixed payments
according to a pre-set schedule. When they are issued, their lives exceed one year.

You will receive 2.20% of the bond’s face value each year in 2 semi-annual payments.
The price (per $100 face) of the bond when it last traded.
The Yield to Maturity (YTM) of the bond.

Common stock: Represents ownership in a corporation. A part owner receives a pro rated share of whatever is left over after all obligations have been met in the event of a liquidation.
Preferred stock: The dividend is usually fixed and must be paid before any dividends for the common shareholders. In the event of a liquidation, preferred shares have a particular face value.

Examples: RIM shares, Microsoft shares, Tim Horton's shares, Dell shares, etc.
Potential gains/losses: Many companies pay cash dividends to their
shareholders. However, neither the timing nor the amount of any dividend is guaranteed.
The stock value may rise or fall depending on the prospects for the company and market-wide circumstances.

Information is a bit harder to find for preferred stock versus common stock.
Example: Bank of America (BAC) preferred stock Find all the BAC preferred stock issues via a Google search—one
source is: quantumonline.com. One issue has a ticker of: BAC-J (BAC-PJ is its symbol at Yahoo!)
Potential gains/losses: Dividends are “promised.” However, there is no
legal requirement that the dividends be paid, as long as no common dividends are distributed.
The stock value may rise or fall depending on the prospects for the company and market-wide circumstances.

Examples: financial futures (i.e., TSX/S&P, S&P 500, T-bonds, foreign currencies, and others), commodity futures (i.e., wheat, crude oil, cattle, and others).
Potential gains/losses: At maturity, you gain if your contracted price is
better than the market price of the underlying asset, and vice versa.
If you sell your contract before its maturity, you may gain or lose depending on the market price for the contract.
Note that enormous gains and losses are possible.

A call option gives the owner the right, but not the obligation, to buy something, while a put option gives the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell something.
The “something” can be an asset, a commodity, or an index.
The price you pay today to buy an option is called the option premium.
The specified price at which the underlying asset can be bought or sold is called the strike price, or exercise price.

An American option can be exercised anytime up to and including the expiration date, while a European option can be exercised only on the expiration date.
Options differ from futures in two main ways: Holders of call options have no obligation to buy
the underlying asset. Holders of put options have no obligation to sell
the underlying asset. To avoid this obligation, buyers of calls and puts
must pay a price today. Holders of futures contracts do not pay for the contract today.

Stocks: Suppose you have $10,000 for investments. Macron
Technology is selling at $50 per share.
Number of shares bought = $10,000 / $50 = 200
If Macron is selling for $55 per share 3 months later, gain = ($55 200) - $10,000 = $1,000
If Macron is selling for $45 per share 3 months later, gain = ($45 200) - $10,000 = -$1,000

Options: A call option with a $50 strike price and 3 months to
maturity is also available at a premium of $4.
Traded option contracts are on a bundle of 100 shares.
One call contract costs $4 100 = $400, so number of contracts bought = $10,000 / $400 = 25 (for 25 100 = 2,500 shares)
If Macron is selling for $55 per share 3 months later, gain = {($55 – $50) 2,500} - $10,000 = $2,500
If Macron is selling for $45 per share 3 months later, loss = ($0 2,500) – $10,000 = -$10,000
