Option Chain
An Option Chain is the complete list of all the options contracts, both calls and puts, for a given underlying security, across a wide range of expiration dates and strike prices. It shows real-time data of bid price and ask price, trading volume, and open interest for each contract. Traders use the option chain to analyse market depth and identify where the most trading activity is concentrated (often suggesting potential support and resistance levels).

Follow On Public Offer
A Follow On Public Offer or FPO allows a publicly traded company to issue more stock to public investors. FPOs are similar to IPOs because FPOs allow companies to raise additional capital through the public market.
For an FPO to be possible, a company must have already done an IPO. FPO shares are typically issued at a discount by a company whose track record is already clear because they are publicly traded.
