Bear raidIn the context of general equities, attempt by investors to move the price of a stock opportunistically by selling large numbers of shares short. The investors pocket the difference between the initial price and the new, lower price after this maneuver. This technique is illegal under SEC rules, which stipulate that every short sale must be on an uptick.Bear raid Similar MatchesBonds Enabling Annual Retirement Savings (BEARS)Bonds Enabling Annual Retirement Savings (BEARS)Holders of BEARS receive the face value of bonds underlying call option, which are exercised by CUBS (an acronym for Calls Underwritten by Swanbrook).

Bear spreadBear spreadA strategy in options trading in which an option is purchased at an exercise price above that of the underlying instrument and simultaneously an option is sold at an exercise price below that of the underlying instrument, both with reference to the same expiry month. This applies to either call options or put options. Permanent interest bearing sharesPermanent interest bearing sharesPibs are shares issued by building societies which pay a fixed rate of interest rather than a dividend. For the building societies concerned, they are a way of raising money without demutualising. As an investor, the rate of interest you receive will be the rate in effect at the time you bought your shares. Even though the rate on the PIB may change, your income will always be the same - the rate at the time you bought. It is important to note that the % rate applies to the original issue price of the PIB, not to the current share price. So if the interest rate is 10% when you buy and the original issue price is 100p, the annual interest will be 10p even if the current share price is 150p. Although Pibs are 'safe' in the sense that there is a quantifiable, regular and certain income, there is a risk of capital erosion if the share price falls below what you paid. On the plus side, if you sell your Pibs and make a capital gain, there is no CGT to pay. One of the disadvantages of Pibs is that minimum investment levels can be quite high (£20,000+) and liquidity is quite low. There aren't many building societies left to issue new Pibs, and trading in existing Pibs is quite low.
