Value Traded
This is the total monetary value of all trading in a security for the market day. It is calculated by multiplying the volume traded by the average sale price.
Venture Capital
Professional moneys co-invested with the entrepreneur usually to fund an early stage, more risky venture. Offsetting the high risk the investor takes is the promise of high return on the investment. A venture capitalist not only brings in moneys as ‘equity capital' (that is, without security/charge on assets) but also brings onto the table extremely Valuable domain knowledge, business contacts, brand-equity, strategic advice, etc. He is a fixed interval investor, whom the entrepreneurs approach without the risk of ‘takeover'. If you have a good idea that can be commercialised and you can convince the venture capitalist of the workability of your idea and of your own ability in seeing it through, the venture capitalist will nurse you through. His return is high but, then, he's taking all the risks on an untried idea.
