4. Term Of The Day 📚
Market Capitalization
📖Definition: Market capitalization (or “market cap”) is the total value of a company’s outstanding shares of stock. It’s calculated by multiplying the current share price by the total number of shares.
📊Why it matters: Market cap gives investors a quick snapshot of a company’s size, risk level, and place in the market. Large-cap stocks are typically more stable, while small-caps may offer higher growth (and higher risk)
💡Example: If a company has 1 billion shares trading at $150 each, its market cap is $150 billion. Nvidia, for example, is currently one of the largest companies by market cap globally
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
🎧 Song of the Day Track: “Sunlit Reverie” – Celeste Aurora
