Market words, explained in 10 seconds

PSEi
The Philippine Stock Exchange index: 30 of the largest, most actively traded listed companies. When people say "the market is up", they usually mean this.
Blue chip
A large, established company with a long track record, such as the big banks, conglomerates and telcos.
IPO
Initial public offering: the first time a company sells its shares to the public and lists on the exchange.
Board lot
The minimum number of shares you can buy in one order. It depends on the share price, so cheaper stocks have bigger lots.
Dividend
Part of a company's profit paid out to shareholders, usually in cash, per share you own.
P/E ratio
Price divided by earnings per share. It tells you how many pesos investors pay for each peso of yearly profit.
