Significant Stock Market Terminology You Must Learn

Whenever we want to learn something new, the first things we are taught are the terminologies. This is the first step to learning. It is crucial since these terminologies will be used through- out the learning process and so understanding them is mandatory. Everything has its own lingo: from business to sports, industries to politics. All these have different or similar words but with different meanings. The stock market is also like this. It has its own language or vocabulary. In order to succeed in this market, you will have to understand what people are talking about. This is why this article is dedicated to explain to you the relationship between stock market terminologies and your success as an investor.

It is natural for all novice investors to look for as much information as they can on the stock market. They however forget to look up the terminologies. It is however very important to know stock market terminologies if you want to be successful. It will not only make you successful but it will also enable you to participate in the first place. This needs to be your first step when you are starting off learning about investing. There are very many avenues that you can use to learn these terminologies.

You can even learn from more than one place so that you have all the knowledge you can absorb. For example, you can use the internet and books to learn all these terminologies. They will explain the terminologies differently and so you will be able to understand them better. There are however, some people who have twisted the meaning of these terminologies. Therefore, if you read from different sources, you will be able to get the real definitions.

Another advantage of using different sources is that you will get different viewpoints of the market and this in turn will make you an even better trader. Different people have different experiences and different strategies. And when you search the terminologies involved, you will probably also get these experiences. Read through them in order to borrow a few tips. Most people use the internet to learn about the market. If you cannot access the internet or for some reason are not comfortable learning from the internet, there are other avenues that you can learn from.

One of the other avenues of learning, not only the terminologies, but also other things about investing, is using books. There are very many stock market gurus who have published interesting books about their journey and how they made it big. Some also have websites where the public can access some of their tips.

You can also learn through some courses that are offered. There are schools that offer special short courses for investors. But you can also get some online courses with the same quality. These courses are not free however and you might be needed to pay a fee in order to learn. If this is expensive, you can self educate and get books from your local library. All this information will help you advance and become a better and successful investor.

What You Need to Understand Stock Brokers

So you finally decide to invest in the stock market and you are wondering how you will do it. Where do you start and who will assist you? There are very many ways that you can control and make informed decisions about your investments in the market. However for the fresh investors, you will need the help of a broker. This is the person who will act as an interface between you and the market. You will buy and sell your investments through him or her. In return, you will pay him or her commission as agreed.

There are a lot of people and entities that act as brokers and so it might be difficult to choose which one will suit you best. There are however, a few things that you can keep in mind when looking for the perfect broker for you.

One of these things is that a majority of people use stock brokers. This means that the stock broker you use might have other clients. So you should not try to tell them how to do their job. These people have had the right training and have the right experience to make you rich and so ensure that even though you make the decisions about your money you treat them with respect. Most of the millionaires of the stock market even pay the brokers a higher commission than stipulated for loyalty. But since you are just a beginner, start by being nice to them.

The second thing that you ought to know is that there are different kinds of stock brokers. The first kind is the full service brokers. These are brokers who give the client all the information they need. They will give you advice on what to invest in, what not to invest in and why you should do any of these two options. They will also fully analyze the market for you and give you all this information. Due to all this work that they do, they are the most paid of all brokers. So if you decide to use them for your investments ensure to calculate and budget their price within the money you plan to use.

The second kind of brokers is the discount brokers. These brokers are not as thorough as the first type of brokers. They will just buy and sell according to what you tell them. They will not offer any advice about what you should do. Since they do not offer advice, they are more affordable than the full service brokers. So if you like to control your shares or if you like to do your own research then these are the perfect brokers for you.

The third and last group of brokers is the online brokers. They are the cheapest and you contact them online. At times a broker can be in all categories depending on the client in question. It is upon you to choose your own broker according to what you want. However all these brokers are qualified and none is more experienced than the other. They all manage the same market and have had the same experience.

Are There Any Mining Stocks Still left?

StockInterview recently spoke with newsletter writer Lawrence Roulston about the top spots for finding resource investments. The growth of the commodities market has made people interested in this field and Roulston, the writer of “Resource Opportunities,” feels that companies in Alaska, Canada and China are the most appealing options for mining and energy investments.

StockInterview: 
First of all, are there any spots that people should avoid investing in?

Lawrence Roulston: 
There are plenty of overseas countries that you should probably avoid. These include companies that have gone into Columbia, Indonesia and parts of Africa like Sudan and Congo. These countries are dealing with too many political issues and the companies that moved some of their operations out here have just begun to realize this.

SI: 
So where should people go for their investments?

LR: 
I’d recommend going a little closer to States in places like Canada.

SI: 
What makes Canada so special?

LR: 
The geological potential of Canada and its positive political status make Canada a great place to invest in. I particularly like British Columbia but the truth is that there has not been much action going on up there. Meanwhile, the provinces of Ontario and Quebec have plenty of potential for mining opportunities but people have been ignoring them for far too long. Still, Canada is an important place for diamond mining. About half of the world’s exploration spending costs is being spent on diamond mines in Canada.

SI: 
Canada sounds like an appealing place to invest in. Are there are specific minerals that are of particular interest to people in Canada?

LR: 
I wouldn’t say that there’s a specific metal that people really look for because there are so many precious metals to find in Canada. Gold is obviously the top metal to look for but there are a number of uranium deposits to find just as well. The Athabasca Basin out in Saskatchewan is a good option to take a look at because it’s Canada largest source of uranium. It also has more high-grade uranium deposits than other parts of Canada.

SI: 
Are there uranium deposits in Canada outside of that space?

LR: 
There are a few here and there to take a look at. The Northwest Territories is home to the Thelon Basin. It’s due north of the Athabasca Basin and has a very similar arrangement. There hasn’t been much done in that area since the 1970s though. You could go even further north into Labrador for the Hornby Basin. The central mineral belt there is a popular site for uranium mining purposes.

SI: 
Are there any particular companies that you like over some of the others in the industry?

LR: 
I particularly like NovaGold Resources (TSX: NG, Amex: NG). They own the Galore Creek, a massive porphyry-related deposit that features gold, silver and copper. It’s estimated that there are about a billion tons in this deposit. The deposit has been undeveloped for the most part. It’s in British Columbia and is not too far off from the border with Alaska.

SI: 
The options for investing in Canada sound very interesting. Are there any other spots outside of Canada that people haven’t been paying much attention to in the bull market?

LR: 
Nevada and Alaska are the two best states to take a look at with regards to mining opportunities. Mining companies have found a number of metal deposits out in these states. In fact, Alaska is home to a few of the world’s largest deposits. Donlin Creek has more than twenty-five million ounces of gold, for starters. There’s also the Pebble deposit that Northern Dynasty (TSN: NDM) has been running in recent years. It is much larger than the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold deposit that Ivanhoe (NYSE: IVN) operates out of Mongolia. (Note: The Donlin Creek deposit is a venture shared between Barrick Gold and NovaGold.)

SI: 
Are there spots outside of North America where you could get access to some new investments? There has to be some other spots around the world that people can take advantage of while the bull market is growing in size.

LR: 
This is where people might be able to take advantage of opportunities that aren’t necessarily the most popular. I recommend that people take a look at what China has to offer. There has been a great deal of mining for minerals in China over the last few years. People in China have focused on finding and developing smaller deposits for the most part. However, it seems like most companies are not taking China seriously. I think the companies that do start to treat China like a legitimate competitor of interest will be more likely to experience the best results after a while. It is all a matter of who is actually going to get after the opportunities out here.

SI: 
China has become a more appealing country to do business in over the last few years. However, China has a reputation for being a hard place to do business in. Would you agree that it’s tough to try and handle business operations in China?

LR: 
People who try to go into China and then try and set up deals often fail because the ways how business works in China are so different from what people do in the west. Western companies that can team up with companies in China often have easier times going places because they will learn how to make it through the system used out there. There are also plenty of geological considerations to take a look at. These are obviously in Chinese but the key is to work in the proper system so you can figure out how to get the right deals going.

SI: 
You mentioned that you want people to “figure out how to get the right deals going.” What does that mean in particular?

LR: 
I obviously would not know how to get a deal set up in China in order to get to a property of some sort. However, I could go into a petroleum mining company office in Canada and easily communicate with everyone and possibly get some kind of a deal going. The fact is that you need someone to help you out with the Chinese system. You need someone who can help you rise above the cultural and language differences and get someone to give you the access you want for whatever it is you would like to do. China is a very different country in so many ways.

SI: 
You talked in the April edition of your newsletter about Pacific Asia China Energy (TSX: PCE) and stated that they overcame the obstacles to get a coalbed methane deal out in China.

LR: 
Yes, PCE has a number of contacts in China as well as a large network. They are able to reach the right people for the job and also talk with the right contacts about getting deals set up. They have a real advantage over other companies because they’ve built contacts over the years to make it easier for them to get deals out in China. They are really taking advantage of the opportunities that China has to offer.

SI: 
Alberta has a number of coalbed methane sites to invest in. Why would you be more excited about investing in China?

LR: 
It doesn’t cost as much to get into a coalbed methane spot in China as it would for you to do that in the United States or Canada. The exploration and exploitation rights in North America are already expensive enough as they are. People in China, on the other hand, can easily walk in and get positions in CBM projects without spending as much as what they’d do here.

SI: 
How would you compare the CBM project that PCE has in Guizhou, China to other CBM plays?

LR: 
PCE is doing quite a great job with what they have. The interesting this is that the Chinese government has been working very hard to delineate the coal industry. It’s amazing how anyone can get into so many data when they start working on the CMB industry. However, PCE isn’t really looking for coal so much as they are looking to find where it is. This is so they can start focusing on how well they can recover it among some other points. They want to exploit the CBM industry and I feel that they are going to be some of the most powerful companies in China with regards to that valuable resource.

SI: 
Then again, any American who sees a business going into China might consider that business to be a pioneer of sorts. That’s particularly since so many people think that China is still in the third world.

LR: 
I have been to a number of spots in China that most people don’t ever go while touring the country. I’ve done this as a means of taking a look at different mineral exploration projects and mine fields. I’ve looked through practically every nook and cranny in China and what I have found is a country that is really developing faster than anything that I have ever seen in the world. It’s amazing how a country with more than a billion people has evolved into a modern country with one of the world’s most powerful economies to boot.

SI: 
What makes you say all this?

LR: 
Well, the middle class in China has about three hundred million people living in that status. These people are about the same from a financial status as what you’d see in North America’s middle class. The people who have reached that status in China have proven that the country can get anywhere. There are hundreds of millions of people in China who would do anything just to get up into the middle class.

SI: 
Wouldn’t you say that the rest of the world is just as interested in money and power just like China is?

LR: 
I have been to loads of places in Africa, Asia and the Middle East and have found far too many people complaining about their lives and struggling just to get by. The people in China, on the other hand, are much more adamant when it comes to getting ahead. They aren’t complaining about their lives. They are focusing on building their own lives up and are trying as hard as possibly to make as much money as they can. It’s no wonder why China has grown as much as it has in the last few years.

SI: 
When do you think investors in North America are finally going to understand that China is an important country from an economic perspective?

LR: 
People will eventually start to see China for what it is. People will start to ask whether or not companies that they want to invest in are actually investing in China or are doing things in that country. The growth of Chinese efforts from North American companies is a big point that I feel will continue to advance as people start to sell products there or get their products manufactured there. It is an appealing part of the economy that should make it easier for American businesses to be more profitable.

SI: 
What makes China a valuable country in this bull market for commodities? Also, do you feel that there are some ways how investors can still make money out here?

LR: 
The geological sites to take a look at are very plentiful. In fact, the crowd of companies looking for items out here is nowhere near as big as what you might see elsewhere. In fact, the other neighboring countries out in Southeast Asia are also growing in power thanks to industrialization. That’s a big deal because there are about three billion people in this area. The demand for items out in these countries will only continue to increase.

SI: 
Finally, are Americans investors concerns about being left behind in the process?

LR: 
I think the American investor will eventually get an idea of what is going on in China and will soon start to become interested in it. I’ve talked with some oil barons in the States and have talked with them about China and they all tell me the same thing. They say that they understand that China is the wave of the future but the rest of the country refuses to acknowledge this. It will only be a matter of time before people start to pay attention to this.

A Simulation of Stock Market

Dow Jones, NASDAQ, BSE and NSE; they should sound familiar to most of us, do they not? Though one may not be conversant with the definition of money, there is no denying the fact that everyone loves money and wants more of it.

Stock market terms like Dow Jones, NSE or BSE and NASDAQ are very common and it quite likely that you have heard of them; at least those people that love money and want money would have. What about Sensex Simulation? One should never compromise when it comes to the safety and well-being of money since it provides sustenance and most of us would be careful to preserve it. The craving for increase pushes some person to take the extreme step and plunge in to the market without enough planning.

Losing is directly proportional to inexperience. The Bull in the market lures people and the unwary people step into the ring least prepared for what they are about to experience. Market trends are as tricky to gauge as a new born child. You can never predict the extent to which the stocks will leap either low or high. There is a risk involved in everything on earth as is with the market. Though it is difficult to live with, we can find a solution to this.

Let us take the case of the amateur investor in the market. He makes the pick of his stocks, based on certain tips he gets from some places. The chances of success and failure are equal. One would have seen that people look up to those people who have established themselves in either a business, a game or a trade and they have done so through the hard way and with lot of practice. In the market, many have lost money and hope simply because they did not understand it. The hard path was all they had since there was nobody to help them hone the required skills, and they did not have a place which teaches them the right method to make investments, and teaches them to safeguard their money and give them invaluable experience.

But then, is there such a place? Is this fairytale world, which exists in everyone’s dreams something that can never be found? Actually, the investors are going to see for themselves this place that helps them have a good time. You are all going to enjoy the most fabulous game you have ever played in your life: The Sensex Simulation! It is the result of all the experience that I have had, playing the market for so long.

In this Game, you will actual deal with stocks as they appear on the market with replication of all other parameters. If a member wishes to play with money they need to be registered members and they can buy and sell stocks using the money in their accounts. In this game you will provided with daily stats that include stock value (that you have purchased), your portfolio, and your position or net gains on the market. This is a live experience where you actually stand in the ring and Sensex Simulation lets you feel the undercurrents and the tides as they happen.

“By the time you know the rules, you are too old to play the game!” Learning can begin at any time. In the vicious circle of life, the people who grow are the people who learn.

Come on, let us take on the Bull!

Trying To Cope With Projecting the Course of the Market

You can effortlessly shun pitfalls of trading, if you know them. Small errors are unavoidable, like mistakenly putting a buy level or putting incorrect stock symbol. What is quite important is keep away from making errors because of bad judgment. Errors that arise from bad judgment are known to damage whole trading careers rather than one or two trades. You have to be extremely careful in order to avoid these pitfalls.

Assume trading errors are like taking a drive on roads that are icy: if you are aware of the dangers of driving on icy roads you can avoid driving in bad weather. However, if you are unaware of these dangers, you might travel as if there is nothing wrong to worry about, only knowing your error once you have already made it.

One of the first errors fresh traders make is spending a lot of their time and energy in forecasting legal trends. They can use complex systems, indicators and formulas to spot likely trends. Consequently, more indicators will tend to appear on a single screen making even prices hard to see. When this happens, the trader may lose sight of straightforward decisions on the fundamentals of trading i.e. buying and selling.

The error here is taking in a lot of information at once. Some individual believe that the more complex their system is, the more correct they are in forecasting trends. Well, this is completely unrealistic. Taking much time on complex systems makes you forget the primary principle of trading in the first place i.e. buy when the market is on the rise and sell when it is declining. The fact that you wish to buy and sell at the start of a trend, it is essential to find out when the trend starts. Complex indicators only make this detail hard to notice.
Ensure you maintain simplicity, one of the simple methods to predict a trend is using trendlines. Trendlines are the easiest ways of discovering an uptrend (price jump) of downtrend (price slump). Trendlines help you identify any change in the trend especially the beginning of that change.

Once you know how to draw trendlines, you can use them to prepare yourself before making a trading decision. You should go on and use particular strategies to calculate your precise buy or sell point once you have used these early indicators. Relative Strength Index (RSI), turtle trading and moving averages are examples of the complex systems and indicators that you can use. However, only make use of them when you have already predicted the trend of the market.

Methods to Trade Similar to A Hedge Fund

Let’s talk vis-×-vis this concept of the Smart Money.  Probably the most basic reference to the Smart Money is credited to a guy named Wyckoff.  He was a journalist in the early 20th Century and he interviewed the biggest dealers of his day – both known and unknown – and came up with a very detailed and powerful trading strategy.  Now notice I didn’t say system; I said strategy.

 

Wyckoff talks concerning this person as the Smart Money.  He didn’t call it the Smart Money – that’s my phrase for it and more of a current phrase, and no, I didn’t invent it.  Wyckoff looked at the market as if it were a person, which isn’t too far from the truth.

 

Let’s contrast this view with how the typical retail trader looks at the marketplace.  The retail trader looks at the marketplace through the eyes of let’s say Uncle Bob.  Uncle Bob comes in and each person in the family knows him as kind of the wild stock speculator, but the reality is that Uncle Bob has never made money and he never will make money – he really just plays the part of the stock speculator.  So he enjoys his part and everybody gets to “Ooh!” and “Ahh!” concerning his excellent good tips.  And Bob’s probably profitable for a little while but inevitably, like all tipsters, he blows out.  He loses the trading account or the trade doesn’t work out for some very important reasons that we’ll get into later.

 

There’s a large account, more of a legend at this point, regarding when Rockefeller talked regarding the main reason he knew the stock market crash was coming in 1929 was because his shoeshine boy was giving him stock tips.  And I’ve got to tell you, coming into 1999 the big reason why I got short (and why I advised – begged, actually – my mother and father to get out of stocks) was for almost the same reason: I had cabbies giving me stock advice, associates who I knew could barely balance their checkbooks were giving me stock advice.  At that point I realized the party was over.

 

Let’s turn again and compare this phenomena with one of the greatest guides on trading, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator.  In that book we see a true member of the Smart Money Club operating in stocks.  This was a trader who, like me, was hired by rich associates to trade their money, but there is one lesson we get where Livermore is actually hired to sell a block of stock.

 

So as part of his process, Livermore created news, and he knew he needed news.  There’s one scene where he, I think, a bit regrettably tells a tale of a couple of regular folks who said, “Hey Jessie, we knew that you are behind the stock, and you only get involved in notable companies.  So we bought it at 60, and we’re holding out at 20 because we believe in you.”  So I’m contrasting, of course, all at once the operator’s intent and in how the public takes it.  So you could pick – you’ll hear on Jim Cramer, and he’s touting some stock, and you buy it at 60, and it’s down to 20, you’re holding on it because you believe in Cramer.  Well, wake up because Cramer is not stock.  Cramer is not the guy that’s going to drive the price from 60 to 80 or from 20 back up to 60.  So the lesson here is news sucks because it’s created by the smart money.  These guys will put people on to CNBC, on to Bloomberg, in the magazines in order to sell their inventory.

 

Now, we can look at this as if it’s a bad thing or just look at it as it is.  It just is the thing.  So you have to realize that news or suggestions or any other form of information is questionable at best.  So the rest of this series is going to – is encapsulated I think in really just a few terms.  You want to buy when everybody is puking, and you want to sell when everybody’s partying.  And so in order to do that, you need to realize how trends work, and then how trends get into countertrends, and then how countertrends can lead to other trends, and the cycle continues.  And believe me, there’s so much information concerning this.  It’s a dizzying array.

 

So we’re going to cut through the junk.  We’re going to get to the bottom line of what works, why it works more importantly and even more importantly, how to tell it’s not working.  So I’ll tell a story.  I’ll change the names because I don’t want to embarrass anybody.

 

The lesson here is the news sucks because it’s created by the Smart Money.  These guys will put people on to CNBC, on to Bloomberg, and in the magazines in order to sell their supply.  Now we can look at this as if it’s a bad thing or just look at it as “it is” – it just is the thing.  You just have to realize that news or tricks or any other form of information is questionable at best.

 

***********************************************************************

Now I’ll tell a story here, but I’ll change the names because I don’t want to embarrass anybody.

 

One of the firms I traded at, we had an individual who had a lot of experience with Elliott Wave.  I won’t get into how much practice but let’s just say it was a great deal.  At one point I was talking with him, I’ll call him Tom, and I said “Tom, what do you think about ABC stock?”

 

And he said “Oh well, here’s its Wave 5 formation and there’s this expanding ABCD wave…” and I said “Wait, wait, wait.  So you tell me that I need to buy when it gets up to Wave C?”

 

“Well, no. It might subdivide and it might go…” and he went on for another 10 minutes.  And I finally said “Tom, when the hell do you buy??”

 

See, it’s easy to get caught up in cycles and information and theory.  Those are really nothing more than tricks, it’s just that we’re not getting them from Uncle Bob anymore.  We’re getting them from Elliott Wave guys or even the Wyckoff guys or just pick your preferred tipster.

 

We’ve got to cycle back and get to this idea of the Smart Money, because you have to realize that now we’ve gotten glimpses of how the marketplace really works either by accident or by concerted effort.  And the professionals that I hobnob around with, the professionals who have taught me belong to the Smart Money Club, so I’m going to be sharing with you some of their actual plans.

 

So don’t get angry with me, man.  This is just the way these guys operate.  I’m not going to talk to you about theory, I’m not going to talk to you what-if’s.  This is what I’ve learned.

Trading with the Carry Trade

The carry trade can be an investing strategy where an investor borrows money in one country at a low interest rate and invests it in another country at better pay. The carry trade takes advantage of differences in interest levels in different countries – which frequently occur as a result of different central bank actions. For instance, the central bank in one country may lower interest rates to stimulate the economy, while a central bank overseas might keep interest rates high to battle inflation.

The perennial problems faced with a trader connect with the achievement of consistency in profits, along with the minimization of losses. Some traders seek the perfect solution in optimized, highly-developed technical trading strategies, others attempt to utilize automated trading to be able to overcome the weaknesses of human instinct. These approaches are valid, but you are often too complicated and difficult to try, and even grasp for that average retail trader with moderate means in capital and time. There’s a solution, the forex carry trade. It is both effective and straightforward, in fact it is an incredible solution to this problem for the average person who loves to trade forex.

The carry of an asset is the opportunity cost of holding it. The carry of a bar of gold is the price tag on storage. The carry of $100 deposited in a bank account is the interest received, even though the carry of $100 in the wallet is the inflation-loss. We concern ourselves using the carry of the forex pair, and if that’s the case, the gain or loss depends upon the interest rate differential in the currencies showcased.

Since each forex transaction involves the buying of a currency, and the sale of another to finance the purchase (when we buy one lot of EUR/USD, for example, we buy one lot of Euros, and sell one lot of USD), in order to maintain the position beyond the closing of the New York market in the United States, we will be paying interest on the currency sold, and receive interest on the currency purchased. It is obvious that if the interest received on the purchased currency (the Euro, in our example) is higher than that paid for the sold currency (the USD), our account will register a profit just for holding the position.

The carry trade adds another dimension to our trading plans. When the currency pair we hold is interest-neutral, or the carry of the bought and sold currencies cancel each other, the only source of profit or loss is the movement in the price of the currency pair. Thus, we must be right about our anticipations about where the price is going in order to make even a tiny profit in trading. But when the carry is positive, our position will accumulate a positive stream of income even as market fluctuations lead to a loss in the position’s value. The benefit of this is obvious: a positive-carry trade (or in short, a carry trade) will add an additional layer of protection, and increase the lifetime of a trade for as long as it exists. The longer the lifetime of the position, the greater the interest income, and the larger the buffer area against market fluctuations.

The main difficulty with the carry trade is its vulnerability to volatility and market shocks. An event that impacts a low or negative carry pair modestly can have catastrophic results for a high-risk, high-yield position. It seems that the first pairs that get punished in unfavorable market conditions are the carry pairs, especially the JPY pairs where traders often take highly risky bets against the high current account surplus and limited external financing needs of the Japanese economy by shorting the currency.

We may conclude by noting that notwithstanding each of the arguments against it, the carry trade remains a valid and highly profitable trading strategy for for many types of traders. If you seek to apply this strategy within your trading decisions, we recommend that you select the ideal one of the fx brokers that offer a high interest income for pairs held. There’s a great degree of variability in the carry friendliness of brokers, so you would do well to research this aspect thoroughly in order to increase your returns.

Japanese Carry Trade Example 

Carry trades are normal instruments within the foreign exchange. One of the most popular carry trades happen to be to gain access to money in Japan and use it to buy other countries currencies. It’s been fueled by a low Japanese interest. For example: A trader could take a loan at Japan at 2% interest or less and invest in US treasuries at 3% interest — allowing the investor to keep the surplus 1%.

Currency carry trades bear potential risk of changing fx rates. In the example above, the investor could generate losses when the US dollar fell in value from the Japanese Yen.

Overall however, with disparity between countries in addition to their interest rates, the carry trade provides a viable strategy for forex traders.
