Chamwen gave a pretty good explanation of buying and selling for profit. There is one other factor, which you may or may not have been asking about. Many companies pay dividends to their shareholders. If you look at a detailed stock quote (see the link below), you'll usually see a 'dividend yield' figure (under the Valuation header on this page). In this case, HPT's dividend yield is 6.3% (meaning that over the course of the past year, they have paid dividends that equal 6.3% of their share price).\n\nThese dividends can be paid out to you to provide regular income (I own HPT through Sharebuilder, and have my dividends automatically reinvested).

Open a SHAREBUILDER ACCOUNT - either through Sharebuilder.com in the US, or HALIFAX.co.uk in the UK.\n\nThe most important thing to remember to invest safely is DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING THE SHARES..... first off look up the shares at Fool.com / Fool.co.uk and look at the FORECAST figures: The EPS % figure should be at least a +percentage (going up, not down) and the figure in the P/E column should be getting less over the next couple of years. Then look at the amount of dividend being paid out + who is in charge of the company. If they have shares in the company, it means they're showing an interest in the company and it stands a good chance of succeeding. If they don't have shares in the company, it gives off hints that they don't really give a crap about the company, as long as they get their wages.\n\nInvesment suggestions (US)\nAnheuser-Busch (BUD)\nWalmart (WMT)\nUnion Pacific (UNP)\n\nInvestment Suggestions (UK):\nPipex Communications (PXC)\nBHP Billiton (BLT)\nBritish Energy (BGY)\nPlus Markets Group (PMK)\nDebtmatters (DEBT)\nHBOS (HBOS)\nWolfson (WLF)\nHold on to them for as long as possible, reinvest any dividends earned.

you need to read the stock option plan.  they almost all have a clause on what happens in the event of a take over.

Go to a company's website and look for their financial statement.  All companies have a link to their financials for their investors.

Most libraries carry old newspapers on microfiche, so if you can know a date you can go back and get the actual pricing for that date.\n\nBut that information may not be entirely useful.  Because of stock splits, taxable spinoffs, acquisitions, etc., the share price on any given day in the mid-80's may not be comparable to the current price.\n\nSempra's Investor Relations department would be able to help you out in that regard:\nhttp://www.shareholder.com/sre/

Your question is not clear any way I will try to tell you some thing.\n\nExample:\nIf you have purchased 200 share of face value of Rs.10/- paid @ Rs.596 per share on 1.1.2006 and if the share were splited to Rs.1/- paid on 1.6.2006, then your 200 shares will become 2000 shares on 1.6.2006 and the value of each share will become Rs.596/10= Rs.59.60 per share.  The date of purchase will remain same for all shares 1.1.2006 and not 1.6.2006. The date of actual purchase of 200 shares will apply for all 2000 shares.  O.K ????????
