	Swap (finance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In finance a swap is a derivative, where two counterparties exchange one stream of cash flows against another stream.
		The reference asset may be any asset, index, or basket of assets.
		An equity swap is a special type of total return swap, where the underlying asset is a stock, a basket of stocks, or a stock index.

	Wilmott Forums - Basket trades
		It's important to distinguish between true baskets, in which the derivative depends only on the total price of the basket, and multi-underlying derivatives, in which the derivative depends on individual components (for example, a first-to-default basket swap).
		Baskets are always traded over-the-counter, but that doesn't mean you can enter into a deal through an agent or broker.
		I have never personally seen a basket in the narrow sense of derivatives, that is a security that pays off based solely on the return of a portfolio of derivatives.

	WYOMING EDUCATION FINANCE
		For example, besides the three budget scenarios, the definition of the education basket used throughout the various Tasks corresponded to the definition of a proper education as codified in current Wyoming statute.
		At the HEA #2 budget level, there is some evidence from the Table that the "platform" effect may have modestly influenced the judgment of the three teams concerning their ability to deliver the basket with the programs that they had designed.
		It indicated that they were still confident of delivering the basket, but not as confident as they were at the higher budget levels.

	Credit - Exploring correlation risk
		The analysis from Deutsche Bank refers to a hypothetical case study of a default basket of five credits with a low correlation factor of 35%, which reflects the industrial, geographical and ratings diversification of the names within the basket.
		For example, a basket of five Korean credits, which are considered strongly correlated, may cost 40% of the sum of the spreads since if one defaults the others are likely to follow and so the protection is less effective than for an uncorrelated basket.
		The baskets are built around 11 of iTraxx’s sub-indices including sector baskets, and baskets representing high volatility, crossover or diversified high-grade credits.

	Starting a Gift Basket Business: How to Finance Your Gift Basket Business
		Although starting (or expanding) a gift basket business requires a smaller amount of capital than many other types of businesses, it still can be a sizable sum.
		Even if you plan to operate your gift basket business from home on a seasonal, part-time basis, you will still need to have enough capital to pay for your "start-up costs", to purchase inventory, possibly to do some advertising and to process the orders once they are received.
		With many start-up businesses (and gift basket businesses are no exception!), the struggling entrepreneur often must turn to his own family and friends for assistance with financing.
