Key Terms

Form 144, PSU, Broker

3 terms

Form 144 regulatory

"Filer Information | 144: Filer Information"

Form 144 is a document that investors must file with the government when they plan to sell a large number of shares of a company's stock. It helps ensure transparency so everyone knows how many shares are being sold and when, which can impact the stock's price.

PSU financial

"COMMON SHARES | 05/19/2026 | PSU | ISSUER"

A PSU is a company where the government owns a controlling stake and often plays a direct role in its management and strategy. Think of it like a business that operates with public oversight, similar to a town-run utility versus a private neighborhood service. Investors watch PSUs differently because government involvement can affect profits, dividend policies, regulatory treatment and stability, so these stocks may behave more like policy instruments than pure market-driven enterprises.

Broker market

"COMMON STOCK | CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS 390 GREENWICH ST NEW YORK"

A broker is a licensed professional or firm that helps investors buy and sell financial assets by executing trades on their behalf, acting like a marketplace agent or matchmaker between buyers and sellers. Brokers matter to investors because they provide access to markets, handle order execution and paperwork, and can offer research or advice—services that affect trade speed, costs, and the quality of investment decisions.
