Terms to know

Commission
Whenever a stock is bought or sold, there is a transaction charge for making the purchase or sale. That transaction charge is referred to as commission.

Dividends
Dividends are price increases added to stock values according to how an athlete's actual performance compares to their projected performance. Dividends (divis for short) are released at approximately 8am eastern time daily and affect any listed stock in active sports.

IPO
IPO is the abbreviation for Initial Public Offering. When a stock is first made available to be purchased, it is said to have been IPOd.

Projections
Each of our 6 sports will have sets of statistical categories that will be in play. Each listed stock (IPO) will have expected levels to reach in each of those statistical categories. Those expectations are referred to as their projections.
