Stocks split to affect the perceived value of the stock.  A stock worth $75.00 might go through a 3 to 1 split.  If you owned 100 shares to begin with, you would now have 300 shares valued at $25.00 ea.  The stock is split when the company feels it can drive up sales by making it appear that the former $75.00 is now on sale.  It's all smoke and mirrors to confuse the investor.  There is also such a thing as a reverse split.  These really hurt.  You may have 100 shares at $75.00 and they might do a 1 to 1000 split and all of a sudden you own 1/10th share valued at $75,000.  These usually lose value very fast and before you know it, you have 1/10 share valued at $75.00. A company can split stocks as often as they like as long as they comply with their corporate bylaws.

For every share sold, there is a share bought; \nfor every seller, there is a buyer.\nThe money that you lost might have gone to a short-seller who first sold the stock at $40 and then bought it back at $30, or it might have gone to somebody who bought the stock at $30 and will (in the future) sell the stock at $40. (By the way - the company itself might have been the buyer!)\nBottom line is that the $10 did NOT go INTO your pocket, it came OUT of your pocket!

Your basis for any stock that you inherited is based on the closing cost of the stock on the day that it was traded to you.  For example if you received 100 XYZ stock on Feb 1st, 2004, which closed at $50 a share. Then you cost basis would be $5000.  \n\nMonteverde2\nUS Army Tax Preparer

False.\n\nGOOG has an estimated book value of $31.87-to-$34.71 per share, based on approximately 300 million shares outstanding, depending upon whose numbers you look at.\n\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=GOOG\nhttp://finance.google.com/finance?q=goog\nhttp://money.excite.com/ht/rs/fin/st/g/goog.html\nhttp://www.marketwatch.com/tools/quotes/profile.asp?siteid=bigcharts&dist=bigcharts&symb=GOOG&sid=1795093&time=7

It refers to a closed-end fund. When a fund trades at a price lower than its per-share value, it is said to be trading at a discount to NAV (net asset value). A closed-end fund whose share price is falling in relation to its NAV is said to be trading at a "widening discount."

It depends upon the fund.  Some price hourly, however 99% of firms price their funds at the close of business.  When they release the information is specific to the firm and when it appears is specific to the data provider.  You should presume that any price you see was the close of business the prior day, unless you specifically know otherwise.  Since funds are not designed to daytrade and since funds have strange redemption rules based upon the phrasing of the Investment Company Act, it doesn't matter much because you are pretty much required to sell or buy blind.  \n\nIf I buy at noon tomorrow, it will be at the next official price, which is usually close of business and will happen on the following day.  So if the price tonight is 10.13, the real but undisclosed price tomorrow at noon is 10.12 but finishes at 10.14, then I will pay 10.14 the day after tomorrow at the opening of business probably but at some point in the day.\n\nClosed end funds only update once per week, usually on Fridays.

The shares of closed-end mutual funds trade on one of the stock exchanges. These funds have a fixed number of shares outstanding. The price they trade at from day to day is usually different than what the shares are worth. This is referred to as a "discount" or a "premium".\n\nOpen end mutual funds are bought and sold directly through the mutual fund company, or a broker who trades in mutual funds. The fund issues new shares if there are more buyers than sellers, and vice versa. The fund shares are bought or sold at exactly what they are worth at the time. Share values are calculated at the end of each business day.\n\nThe above applies to real estate funds, as well as to other types of funds.

Share price is something like aunction, It change because someone think it is good price to sell but in the meantime other think it is good time to buy.\n\nfor example, Share XYZ is $10 now.  A is holding it, he think it is worth to sell on $11 so he queue, then B think XYZ company worth to invest so he buy at $11, so the price of XYZ change to $11.\n\nWhen the market crush. B afraid the price will keep dropping. so he quickly sell it at $9 although he lose money.  then C think at $9 is worth to buy because the market may rebound soon. so the price will fall to $9.\n\nWant to chat more about it? email me at tklynx@hotmail.com

Your estimation is dead on!  Nice job!\n\n100 Shares of a $300 stock, plus commission = $30010.\n\nTo find the exact break even point, I use the following equation:\n\n(P x 100) - $10 = 30010.  Where P is the final stock price.  With a little algebra, I can find P = 300.20  so the stock needs to rise from $300 to $300.20 per share.  What is the % increase?\n\n0.20 / 300 = 0.00067, or 0.067%.  Sounds like the person is using "percent of percent" [sometimes called "basis points"] rather than percent.

A good dividend yield on a stock is about 2%. If you found a stock that pays $10/share, it would probably be about $500/share.\n\nMost companies split their stock price to keep them affordable to smaller investors. \n\nWhat you ask is a trivia question anyway, and not really important or "better" if you found one. Not a significant question or answer.

The different websites use different providers for their stock data.  Sometimes these data providers will pick up late, after market, trades instead of the true closing price.

when you short sell a stock, your broker will lend it to you. The stock will come from the brokerage's own inventory, from another one of the firm's customers, or from another brokerage firm. The shares are sold and the proceeds are credited to your account. Sooner or later you must "close" the short by buying back the same number of shares (called "covering") and returning them to your broker. If the price drops, you can buy back the stock at the lower price and make a profit on the difference. If the price of the stock rises, you have to buy it back at the higher price, and you lose money.
