It all relates to the P/E or the Price to Earnings ratio. It measures how much revenue or profit one share earns and compares that to the price you would pay for that one share on that open market.\n\nWhat you or your banker are talking about can be dangerous because you could be paying a lot of money for a share that does not have a lot or any income behind it at all so you would be in danger of losing your investement. This happened a lot in the dot come bust where sahres worth $500 or more were issued and bought for companies that weren't even making $.01 per share.

What you are hoping to capture by buying a calendar spread is the decay of the first expiring option relative to the decay of the second. Read "Options as a Strategic Investment".\n\nA short term option loses its time value faster than a longer term option. So, if the decay on the longer is a penny a day...and the decay on the shorter option is 1/8 a day...you are capturing 11 1/2cents per day and protecting yourself in case of a big market move. Is it a given that you'll make money??? Absolutely not. Every time you think that, think to yourself "there are a million other people out there that have thot about this for at least 25 years...chances are I am not thinking anything original" !

A stock option is an offer or promise by a company to another party to sell to the other party company stock at a price at or below street value. If the offer is made at a price that is below street value, the company can expect to loose money on the transaction whenever the sale occurs. This for accounting purposes is recorded as a loss to the company, and losses reduce the income of the company - and the loss/reduced income is recorded before the corporate taxes are paid, so the loss is pre-tax.\n\nYou accountants out there feel free to blow me out of the water, if I'm not right, but this is the way my accountant buddy explained it to me.

There are several ways to make money by buying shares. Any shares bought are obviously owned by you. You can keep the shares if they are good and profitable company, and wait for dividents usually paid quarterly, haLf yearly or sometimes annually, meaning once a year. But usually, if you want to make better money, buy the shares at a lower price, during a poor market, wait for the price of that share to go up. Draw a margin how much you want to make and sell at that price when it reaches that amount of your choice. Sometimes, your broker may advise you to hold on because he may know the price is going up further and you may be able to make more.When market is good, it is more advisable to sell on profit rather than wait for the dividends which are usually very much lower than the market gains. Having advised all that, please do not be too greddy or obssessed by the share market, otherwise you may burn your fingers and lose all that you have earned or more.

In some ways, yes, beause it shows the speed at which your market is turning in cash rather than disbursing it in real time, at the very least, daily.  Your accounting profit is a rather static measure of your performance for the accounting period covered.

"Trading account" is probably referring to stock trading account.  There are lots of places to open a stock trading account, for instance etrade.  The point is to buy and sell shares of company stock (partial ownership in companies).  It can be a gamble, so you better do a fair amount of research before throwing down money on any specific stock.

It works - if you have a system. \n\nSure it is volatile. But that's one ingredient you do need in a market if you are trading for quick profits.\n\nOne simple technique is to examine the news release predictions, make your own mind up, make a decision of how it will affect the price and just enter the market with a close stop loss.\n\nIf you get stopped out when the data is against you, then you live to trade another day. If you don't, well that means the trade went for you and you made some moolah...\n\nGood Luck!

VaR, with the parameters: holding period x days; confidence level y%, measures what will be the maximum loss (i. e. decrease in portfolio market value) over x days, if one assumes that the x-days period will not be one of the (100 − y)% x-days periods that are the worst under normal conditions. One can also define VaR as a lower y% quantile of a profit/loss probability distribution, i.e., it is a best outcome from a set of bad outcomes on a bad day.\n\nYes

Profit that recurs.  For example if you offer services and charge a monthly price... so long as the gains outweighs your losses of providing that service, you have recurring profit.

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).
