Bulls are market optimists while bears are market pessimists.  Bulls believe the market is going to grow and bears think stagnation or correction is on the horizon.  This can also be applied to individual market sectors, so you might be bullish on tech stocks, but bearish on oil futures.

FXI - it's an "exchange traded fund" that tracks the FTSE Index of Chinese companies... It has actually come in (fallen in price) a bit recently... I'm thinking about buying it and holding it - to take advantage of the inevitable growth (currency and assets) coming out of that country.

People don't know what they are doing and don't know what bankruptcy means.  Once there is a Q on the end of a stock, the price is usually under a dollar.  The average Joe has no concept of risk.  They usually think that the lower the price of the stock, the higher the returns.  Just look at how many questions there are on Yahoo Answers about pink sheet stocks.

It is a class of stock that has a "preference" of some kind when it comes to dividing profits.   There are many ways it can be expressed. \n\nIt generally means that they get their dividend FIRST, whether Common gets any or not.  If there's no money for dividends that year, the question is whether it is "cumulative", meaning that if they don't pay this year, they have to make it up next year before paying Common, or "non cumulative" meaning it starts at zero each year, and also whether it is "participating", which means that if there is a LOT of dividend money, is the preferred dividend an upper limit or do they get more in flush years.

Stock Market (or stock exchange) is a place where stock (or shares as we call in india) are traded between investors at a particular price that is purely determined by the demand and supply of the shares.\n\nFor example, if the demand of the share is greater than the supply, the price of the share will keep rising until the demand is equal to supply. As a result the price of the share goes up. Alternatively, if the supply of the share is more than the demand, the price of the share falls till it equals demand. \n\nNormally one would want to buy the shares of company that are performing good. This would result in a rise in demand of the shares and the price will start rising. The price will rise until the ivestors feel that the share price correctly co relates with the good performace of the company. Similarly one would try and sell shares of a company that is performing poorly and so the supply will rise. The price will continue to fall till investors feel that the price correctly corelates with the performance.\n\nIt is worth noting that any news that has an effect on the performance of the company will be reflected in the price movement of the share. For example, if the government announces that there is an upward revision in the price of petrol, the most likely gainers will be companies like Indian Oil, BPCL, HPCL, ONGC, Reliance etc. Therefore, their stocks (share prices) will start rising. Alternatively if the government announces that there is no revision in the price of petrol even though the price of crude is rising in the international market, the share prices of these companies will be under pressure and will probably fall. \n\nNow a days shares are held in dematerialized or demat (i.e. in electronic form without any paperwork involved) form with a share broker who is registered with the stock exchange. In India, there are two stock exchanges viz - \n\n1) The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)\n2) The National Stock Exchange (NSE)\n\nBoth the exchanges are headquarted in Mumbai. A broker can be a member of either of the two or both.\n\nSensex (Sensitive Index) is an index of the most commonly traded 30 stocks on the BSE. Time to time, the BSE allocates weightage to different stocks that reflect their importance in the stock markets. Take an example of two stocks RELAINCE and TATA POWER where both are included in the Sensex. If the stock price of Reliance goes up by Rs 10 and the stock price of TATA POWER falls by Rs 10, does it mean that they will balance each other? The answer is no. This is becuase the weight of the Reliance Stock is much more than Tata Power. In such a case the rise in the Reliance Stock will out weigh the loss in Tata Power's stock and the Sensex will rise (assuming other stocks remain where they are). It is to be noted that the sensex will either move upwards or downwards only the performace of these 30 stocks. Since the general mood of the market is reflected by the movement in the Sensex, it reamins in the news all the time.\n\nPlease note that this explanation is a very simple explanation on the movement in the Indian Stock Market. There may be many other factors that determine the demand and supply of shares.\n\nHope one finds this information useful.

i think you're referring to the price/earning ratio, a tool used by investors to evaluate the value of a stock.  Here's a link to Investopedia that better explains it:

"The actual origins of these expressions are unclear. Here are two of the most frequent explanations given:\n\n    1. The terms bear and bull are thought to derive from the way in which each animal attacks its opponents. That is, a bull will thrust its horns up into the air, while a bear will swipe down. These actions were then related metaphorically to the movement of a market: if the trend was up, then it was considered a bull market, and if the trend was down, then it was considered a bear market.\n\n\n    2. Historically, the middlemen in the sale of bearskins would sell skins they had yet to receive. As such, they would speculate on the future purchase price of these skins from the trappers, hoping they would drop and thus increase their own profits due to a spread - the difference between the cost price and the selling price. These middlemen became known as "bears", short for bearskin jobbers, and the term stuck for describing a decrease in the market. Conversely, because bears and bulls were widely considered to be opposites due to the once-popular blood sport of bull-and-bear fights, the term bull was used to describe actions or sentiment that is the opposite of bears.\n\n    Wherever the term came from it is important for investors to know the difference between the two as it will greatly affect their returns. For example, it is unwise to be a bull in a broad-based bear market, because prices will be falling while you're hoping they will rise and the value of your portfolio will fall. Also be aware that it is possible to profit in both markets and that there are in fact two sides to the stock market - and up and a down one. Thus, like their namesake, never turn your back on a bull market or a bear market."

If you buy a stock on or after the ex-dividend date but before the record date the person you bought the stock from gets the dividend. \n\nSome traders use this as an opportunity (as price usually drops on ex-dividend date depending upon dividend size and market demand) to buy into a bullish stock.

It could mean several things...\n\nPublic/Private venture\n\nPaper Value\n\nHowever, I would most likely think it means Purchase Price Variance.\n\nif your company buys commodities like wheat or oil, the purchase price will vary daily, even hourly. Obviously, accounting for these would be a night mare, so you average them for the month and make a note of the PPV (the high and low price) so that you can get a more accurate measure of what you actually paid for the commodity.\n\nAlso, you take into account the PPV of the goods you sell for the month.

A stock market is how much a companies shares are worth at the time. Low means that they are not selling for a lot, high means that one shares costs more than it did previously. \n\nThese fluctuations are based on events going on in the company and how much people are willing to support them. Often stocks drop when people either see their stocks are worth more and want the money at the time or the company is having problems.\n\nHigh often occurs when a new product has been developed and people want in on the profits that company is gaining.

These are ideal conditions for equities. Low interest rates and steady inflation are perfect for asset appreciation. Commodities are also in a bull run. Tea, sugar, gold, etc. are in mutli-year bull markets. In equities emergin markets such as India, Brazil, Turkey look promising.
