Which term describes the action taken by a stock exchange to correct a gross imbalance in buy and sell orders? A. A halt in trading. 0% B. A suspension in trading. C. A cancellation of listing (delisting). D. A delayed opening. Student Response General Feedback: Shortly before the opening of trading, an exchange can order trading in a security to be delayed. The need for this action might arise if a heavy influx of buy and/or sell orders for a particular security materialized. The delay gives exchange traders time to sort out the orders and match up buys with sells to allow fair and orderly trading when the delay order is removed. A delayed opening in one security does not affect trading in other listed securities. Text reference: Chapter 11: Financing and Listing Securities. Score: 0/1 3. What is a common method of ensuring some stability in the secondary market for a new issue? A. Placing a holding period on trading. 0% B. Restricting share sales. C. Escrowing shares.

Selling Group. 0% D. Dealer. Student Response General Feedback: When a new security issue is brought to market through a bought deal, the dealer assumes the primary risk that the issue will not be sold. They purchase all of the securities from the issuing company - thus guaranteeing to the issuer the amount that will be received for the issuance. Then, they distribute these securities, sometimes using a financing group or other distributors. However, should the securities remain unsold, or sell at a lower price than the Dealer had paid to the issuer, the Dealer will suffer the loss.

D. Notes to the Financial Statements. Student Response General Feedback: The Notes to the Financial Statements are valuable addendums to the financial statements.
