Secondary distribution or offeringPublic sale of previously issued securities held by large investors, usually corporations or institutions, as distinguished from a primary distribution, where the seller is the issuing corporation. The sale is handled off the NYSE, by a securities firm or a group of firms, and the shares are usually offered at a fixed price related to the current market price of the stock.Secondary distribution or offering Similar MatchesProbability distributionProbability distributionA function that describes all the values a random variable can take and the probability associated with each. Also called a probability function. Skewed distributionSkewed distributionProbability distribution in which an unequal number of observations lie below (negative skew) or above (positive skew) the mean. Normal DistributionNormal DistributionThe well known bell shaped curve. According to the Central Limit Theorem, the probability density function of a large number of independent, identically distributed random numbers will approach the normal distribution. In the fractal family of distributions, the normal distribution only exists when alpha equals 2, or the Hurst exponent equals 0.50. Thus, the normal distribution is a special case which in time series analysis is quite rare. See: Alpha, Central Limit Theorem, Fractal Distribution. Distribution periodDistribution periodThe period following the dividend declaration date to the date of record during which a stockholder must officially own shares to be entitled to the dividend. Income distributionIncome distributionA description of the fractions of a population that are at various levels of income. The larger are the differences in income, the "worse" the income distribution is usually said to be, the smaller the "better." International trade and factor movements can alter countries' income distributions by changing prices of low- and high-paid factors.
