How much will the average bonus of a person who works on the stock market this year?  Explain.?

All together, billions of dollars.\n\nSee this article from the Wall Street Journal about *last year's* bonuses.  This is either a perfect example of how capitalism is supposed to work or why the country is going down the tubes.\n\nMike Honeycutt

I'm not an expert but basically you gamble between prices i.e you'll bet that the price of a company's share will rise between,say, 105 to 112 points in a day. Something along those lines my friend.

J. Hills earnings are 5,500.\ntherefore the 8% bonus is 440.\nTherefore you must withhold 110.\nYes that is correct.\nBut the additional probelm is that these amounts have to be addressed on a weekly basis. So, if we assume 52 weeks in a year, then each week you will pay the weeks wages of 5500/52 = 105.77\nThe bonus will be 440/52 = 8.46\nAnd the witholding is 110/52 = 2.12\nSo the gross before tax will be 105.77 +8.46  - 2.12 = 112.11

Stock option grants and stock grants are two forms of compensation often offered as incentives in addition to base salary offered to a newly hired employee. This practice is especially common in the high tech industry. \n\nStock options are contracts that allow you to buy or sell specific amount of a particular stock at a certain price within a set period of time. The set price is called the strike price. When you (the stock option holder) make use of your right to buy/sell stock according to the terms of the option, you are exercising the option. Call options are options giving you the right to buy stock. Put options are options giving you the right to sell stock. Employers grant call options to employees. Let's take an example: Let's say you are hired by Google and they offer you options to buy 100 shares of Google stock at $400 within the next 5 years. This stock option gives you the right to buy 100 shares of Google stock at exactly $400 any time within the next 5 years. Let's say it's after four years now. Suppose Google stock is at $300 now, now your options are worthless, because you could buy Google stock in the market for $300, much less than the $400 price offered by your stock option. Now suppose Google stock is at $500 now, then if you exercise your option, you could buy 100 shares at $400. Then you can turn around and sell it on the stock market for the current price of $500, making a $100*100=$10000 profit. So the stock option is basically not worth anything if currently the stock price is lower than your option strike price. But as long as your option has not expired, it's possible that the stock price could go above your strike price and make your stock options worth something.\n\nStock grants are simpler to understand. The employer gives you some shares of stock for free. So let's use the Google example again. Suppose Google hired you and gave you 100 shares in a stock grant. Now you own 100 shares of Google stock. At anytime, you could sell that stock for whatever price it is trading at on the stock market.\n\nStock option and stock grants are usually offered on terms called vesting. That means that you are not given the full amount of options or stock right away, but rather the employer gives it to you over time. A common vesting schedule is vesting over four years, so that you get 1/4 of the stock or options offered after the first, second, third, and fourth year you have been at the company. This is done to give employees an incentive to stay at the company.

Buy a diversified series of mutual funds. Individual stocks are just way too risky in most cases, especially for novice investors, even if they look like a sure thing.  How are Enron and Worldcom doing right now?\n\nMake sure you hit all the assets classes, like Large cap stocks, small/mid cap stocks, international stocks, emerging markets stocks, government debt, corporate debt, hi-yield debt, foreign debt, emerging markets debt, real estate, commodities, and precious metals. That's 12 categories right there, so let's say you get started with with $1200, you're talking about $100 each. \n\nThen sit back and rebalance each year, back to your original percentages. This is called asset allocation. The thinking being, what's BEEN hot is more than likely not going to STAY hot. All markets, after all, are cyclical.  This is why people who invest their 401(k) by just putting in whatever's had the most recent best numbers never get anywhere--they're investig in something that DID will and IS probably NOT doing well.\n\nThis sort of portfolio should average 8-12% per year, so just split the difference and say 10%. Will it do 10% EVERY year? Of course not. I'd be surprised if it ever did EXACTLY 10%. That's an annual average. With that average, your money should double roughly every 7 years. \nSo, in 7 years you should have about $2,000\nin 14 years you should have about $4,000\nin 21 years you should have about $8,000\nin 28 years you should have about $16,000\nin 35 years you should have about $32,000\nin 42 years you should have about $64,000\nin 49 years you should have about $128,000\nin 56 years you should have about $256,000\nin 63 years you should have about $512,000\nin 70 years you should have about $1,024,000!\n\nOf course, if you keep adding money in, say $100 a month, you'll become a millionaire MUCH sooner. The key is discipline, and sticking in when markets are up OR down. Don't try to time the market--you'll NEVER get it right.\n\nHere's a handy formula:\n\n$100/month x 12% retutn x 20 years = $100,000.  \n\nSo if you invest $300 a month, you can expect to have $300,000 or so in 20 years, depending on what return you get.  And remember, even if you stop there, that money itself will double again in 7-10 years, depending.  Then double again.  Then double again.  You get the idea.\n\nIn short, you can make a HELL of a lot of money, with a small output on your part, if you do it right, and are patient.\n\nOh, and if you qualify, and do this all in a Roth IRA? Then every penny will be 100% TAX-FREE. That's a deal that's too good to pass up. That's why I tell all my under-30 clients--if you make under $90,000, and therefore qualify to do a Roth, you'd be a fool not to. Just having the power of youth (and therefore time) on your side is such an advantage, to squander it would be such a waste!\n\nHope this helps!\n--J.\n\nP.S. The previous answerer's advice about contacting Edward Jones is gold.  I would go to their website at www.edwardjones.com, enter your zip code, and find the closest office to you.  Chances are there's one within 10 miles.  They have 10,000 office in the US, UK, and Canada.  And they will take care of you right if you decide you don't want to go it alone.

Investing in people,\nfor the employer it means he will give you training courses and sometimes educational assistance and pay their fees in order to have you more qualified and doing a better job.\nfor the employee it means he'll get nice education for free and then he'll decide whether to be loyal to the employer or leave for a better job with a better pay!

Interest = Rate x Principle\n\nThis assumes that you are talking about a straight percentage (e.g. 6 1/2% per year) and that you are asking about 1 year.\n\nAnyway, the amount of interest she will earn after a year is 6 1/2% of the principle (orignal savings amount).\n\n0.065 x 400 = $26\n\nShe'll earn $26 dollars after 1 year (for a new balance of $426.00)\n\n(The next year she'll earn 0.065 x 426 = $27.69 interest for a total of $453.69... etc.)

Yes, definitely!  And that would be trading stocks.  I'm 18 years old (19 in May), and I have been trading stocks since I turned 18.  I started with $1000, and have made over $85,000 since then.  I bought a new car, paid for my first year of college, and my income taxes.  I have $55,000 now, including the value of the 6 stocks I have right now.\n\nMany people trade for a living, right from their home computer.  They can live anywhere they want to.  Someday I hope to be a full-time trader.\n\nLeaira

I've been studing the market game for about a year now, i didn't knew anything a year ago, I havent invested anything yet, i've just been practicing in stock simulators like stocktrak.com for about 2 months now, im happy i've made almost a 7% in my simulations (im happy with that since i am a rookie), I think I need to do a lot more reading, studing and practicing before I invest a single dollar for real. I think now I understand the markets much better.\n\nSince I am in a similar position as you are, just 1 year ahead studing :) , I would strongly recommend you to start by studing Profr. Peter Navarro's material. First I studied his audio course "Big picture investing", and read his books "when is raining in Brazil buy Starbucks", "when the markets move will you be ready?" and now i'm reading his most recent book "the well timed strategy", for me it was great to start with the audio course, since he explains the basics to understand the market, and it comes with a very didactic printed course guide. Profr. Navarro has been a great teacher for me, I don't think there are other books as good as this for a beginer, and belive me, i've done my research and been reading a lot!! after the audio course i was able to understand and take more "juice" from his books and other books that I have read, I recommend you to do the same thing.\n\nRegarding the Can Slim system teached by IBD's Bill O'Neal, I think he is a real master, his investing approach is great and relatively easy to follow if you use the investing tools on investors bussiness daily and do your research homework every day, actually, I just took the Can Slim Level I Seminar some weeks ago, and I am already subscribed for the level II seminar to be held at the end of this month, BUT, if i hadn't studied Profr. Navarro's material before, I am shure I would understanded much less from the can slim seminar, so I recomend you to start with Profr. Peter Navarro's material, its great material and has been a lot of help for me.\n\nYou can find Profr. Navarro's audio courses and books at barnes and noble, either in the book store or online, is not an expensive material, i would have pay 10 times its price, its worth much more.\n\nAnd, once you start to study, the learning curve never ends!! start with Prof. Navarro, before you buy any material much more expensive and not worth its price, belive me i've done it :(..im shure you will thank me.\n\nGood luck!!!

i'm not exactly sure how it works, but the 4.47% (or whatever it is) is the APR, the percentage of money you will make at the end of the year. they might pay you monthly, but it won't be 4 and a half percent a month but over the entire year.

some guy on here is advertising for your money @15%\nanother guy tells you that you will lose money if you listen to any of our advice.\n\nwith the stockmarket at current levels, i would be on the sidelines for now with my cash in a Vanguard or Fidelity money market fund. earning about 4.2% at the moment. it will go up with interest rates. i would also do some research on stocks and investing, check out bobbrinker.com for excellent information, educational info and a great book list to read.

Hi,\nNever start with this low an amount. The fees would kill any profit you would make.\n\nMy advice is that a person should not invest less than $1000 in a stock. \n\nJust do the math : If you pay $8 per trade. Then you pay $8 to buy and $8 to sell. So you are spending $16 anyway. \n\nLet us say you invest $500 in HomeDepot and it appreciates 10% in 1 year. Then you make $50 - $16 = $34. Which is just 6.8%.\n\nInstead if you invest $1000. Then you make $100 - $16 = $84. Which is  8.4%.\n\nSo it is obvious that higher is your investment , lower is your fees. Based on my experience, $1,000 is a decent amount to start with on a stock.\n\nHave fun investing.\n\nDan.

Good question.  I wish that more people would LEARN about how the stock market exists and participates in its usage.\n\nThe best way, first of all, is to understand the fundamentals of business.  Not just how it works, but what constitutes profit, earnings, etc. Once you have a fair understanding of how business works, then you are ready to understand the stock market.\n\nDON"T get into it, though, if you are just looking to make money WITHOUT doing any work, either in researching the companies, or in researching the people who research the companies (broker consultants)!  That is probably my only caveat. \n\nNow...start here for your stock market tutorial... Good luck!\n\nhttp://www.investopedia.com/university/stocks/\n\nRemember me in a few years when you are filthy rich so I can do research for you at 8 bucks an hour...
