An ETF is an Exchange Traded Fund, a portfolio of securities. The performance of the ETF is the result of adding together the performance of each element of the portfolio. Most ETFs are traded on an exchange just like stock. Most ETFs are passively managed, and often reflect an index. Unlike regular stock, the number of shares of an ETC can change when the underlying portfolio changes in size.
An Option is a financial security (a derivative) that provides the option holder the right to buy or sell the underlying security at a pre-agreed upon price. Options are categorized as Call Options (right to buy) or Put Options (right to sell).
Underwriters help manage risk in a number of industries. In the stock market, and underwriter ensures that a stock offering, typically an IPO, is successful. The Underwriter does this by promising to buy unsold stock and resell them to others. In order to perform this function, the Underwriter works with the offeror to ensure that the stock is priced appropriately, and assists in marketing the stock.

A short squeeze occurs when rising prices of a security cause short sellers to buy the security, increasing demand and causing the security’s price to increase further. This typically occurs when there are a large number of short sales of a stock, and an unexpected positive news causes the stock price to rise.
