Help with time line....share price/dividend/non constant growth?

OK, so the annual dividends are:\n\nTime 1   $5\n     2   $5×1.15\n     3   $5×1.15²\n     4   $5×1.15²×1.06\n     5   $5×1.15²×1.06²\n     6   $5×1.15²×1.06³\n     7   $5×1.15²×1.06³\n     etc\n\nDiscounting the first 5 payments:\n\n\n5v + 5×1.15v² + 5×1.15²v³ + 5×1.15²×1.06v^4 + 5×1.15²×1.06²v^5\n\n= 4.6296 + 4.9297 + 5.2492 + 5.1520 + 5.0566\n\n= 25.0172\n\nNow the PV of teh remaining payments is:\n\n 5×1.15²×1.06³( v^6 + v^7 + ...)\n=5×1.15²×1.06³v^6 (1 + v + v² + ...)\n\nInside the brackets is an infinite geometric series with first term a = 1 and common ratio r = v.  Using the sum to infinity formula, a/(1-r), we get:\n\n1/(1 - v) = 13.5\n\nMultiplying this by the  5×1.15²×1.06³v^6 bit is:\n\n13.5 × 4.9630 = 67.000\n\nHence the total PV is:\n\n67.000 + 25.017 = 92.017\n\nSince the share value should be the PV, we get $92.02\n\nHope this helps!

What's happening is that nothing is happening.  The last quotation I have is $.025 (2 1/2 cents) per share, and (almost) zero volume.  Stockholders are awaiting new news about California prospects.  Just now is "sleepy" time, but hang in there.

The rate does not change frequently, so bookmarking this page is good enough, one would suppose:\nhttp://www.wsjprimerate.us/wall_street_journal_prime_rate_history.htm#current

'John Blaze' is full of sh*t; you don't need $25K to daytrade. Open a brokerage account. Study John Murphy, "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets". Don't trust money managers; they will rip you off. Take control of your money. Find a stock that has huge price swings daily or weekly such as Juniper Networks or Redback Networks. These are high 'beta' stocks. Depending on your age, part of your portfolio should be speculative. If you are in your 20s and your portfolio is less than 100K, then definitely you should be using your knowledge and investing in high beta stocks to profit greatly from their daily and weekly price swings. You have the years to do that. 'Short' the stock when it goes down, and go 'Long' when it goes up. As your portfolio grows to a couple Mil or so, then you can pull back and put some of it in stuff that is a little lower beta such as the QQQ. As an example of how well you can do by taking control of your money: if just do your normal 1% per day on that 100K porfolio over a year through profiting from the swings, how much would you have after one year? You got it my friend, way over $$$1Mil!! Give it whorl, go for it!

Google is doing many good things and is still growing. If you can, I would buy as much as you can. I can see Google (GOOG) going up to $600.00 per share. You will need to hang on, it will be a wild ride this stock is going to be very volatile.

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/

right now, buy in safety. Im talking about PG, GE, MO, BUD, ya know, stability. Stay away from the internets GOOG, EBAY, AMZN, MSFT, etc.\nIf you want growth, look at DELL, INTC, (both due to recover) and overseas (anything with Euro, Pound)

AMAT is a solid company but there is a huge overhead supply of stock that is just waiting for an opportunity to be dumped on the market at break even.  Tell you what to do.  Take a small position, maybe 100 shares.  If it goes up 2 bucks a share add to the position.  If it goes up another buck add some more.  I agree the solar is a potential but this stock has been a dog for so long I expect it will take a good while to work out the overhead supply.

I'd suggest speaking to a stockbroker about costs etc, and the returns would depend on the performance of the company.  I think they're about £4 a share just now, and they performed very well last year.  I've thought about it too because Tesco seem to be taking over the world just now...!

wwww.biz.yahoo.com \n\nHowever I took the liberty of checking it out for you.  Even so here are my disclaimers I did not use the most recent 10Q, this is the Quarterly Earnings Report, I used  the above link.  And I don't know how often they update their info. \n\nNumber of share outstanding times stock price.\n\n49.56 million  share outstanding times $4.21 =\n\n208.64 Million.\n\nI hope this is a study project!\n\nhowever this is the market value of the company there are other methods to value companies such as Asset Based Valuation, Discounted Cash Flow, PE comparison Etc.

Whoah!  Hold the bus!  The advice that includes gregarious reactionaries and traders like Cramer or commodities needs to be held off with the proverbial "ten-foot pole."\n\nGo to CNN Money, Motley Fool, MSN Money, Netscape Investing etc. which will give you a clear, comparatively safe starter advice.  Ask your broker (I recommend Scottrade, sharebuilder, or schwab) about some Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) like Diamonds or Spydrs or the like--these let you buy a cheap sampling of the Dow Jones Industrials or the Standard & Poors 500, comparatively safe but still very good, profitable companies.  They are about as sexy as steak and potatoes, but they are as substantial as steak and potatoes.  \n\nAs for individual companies, first--does it make a profit?  As for any other features, news, or events, first, does it make a profit?  Second, does it have a triple-digit price to earnings ratio?  Then there are too many people thinking it will be big and it won't likely be big enough to please them all.  If you divide the profit by number of shares (most stock sites will give this information for free, usually doing the arithmetic for you), and the result is higher than 30-something, stay away.  If the number is a negative number, go back to the other rule, first, does it make a profit.

I think you are looking for the P/E.  Divide the price of the stock by earnings per share.  You'll get the same answer if you divide the market value of the company by the total earnings (rather than EPS).  \n\nMarket value / EPS doesn't make sense.

The stock is still in a strong downward trend.\n\nIf you observe on the chart, you will notice 2 trend lines, one is still showing a strong downward trend and the other acting as a strong resistance.\n\nI suggest buying when both trend intersacts and purchase at that price, or you can drop me a mail if you require further analysis.

contact a stock broker or your bank, they should help you out with the documentation.\n\nlook at ratios such as P/E ratio and EPS mainly, and also read the investor prospectus as thoroughly as you can.\n\ninvesting in indices - will diversify away some risks - so look into that...
