Points

Points
1. One percent over and above the current interest rate (used in the context of refinancing or taking out a loan/mortgage).

2. For stocks, one point equals one dollar.

Notes:
1. A loan may be quoted as prime plus two points. This means that your loan interest rate is 2% higher than the prime rate of lending.

2. If a stock is up 2 points, then it really means that the stock is up $2.
