Stocktaking is done to see if the goods you have sold match up to the takings and also to see what profit or loss and GP% you have made
A very simple example, if you sell ten items at £1.00 each your cash takings should be £10.00 the profit and % profit will depend on the (cost price) price you bought the items for .Stocktaking shows what profit or loss is made and can show up theft,wrong pricing what sells well what sells slow ,and also the value of your stock in hand for end of year .

Why does a high beta stock or portfolios do not produce higher return?
There are many other factors involved in achieving high returns other than Beta. These include
- Technical Analysis
- Other fundamental analysis variables
- The condition of the broad market (indices, individual blue chip or market moving stocks)
To go a step further, if you consider the nature of markets it would be clear that there isn't any one, simple thing that determines if you will earn high returns in any financial instrument. This is because as soon as it is known that any given variable could mean the stock price will move up what you see is the market almost immediately pricing this variable into the stock price. There is a huge argument over what is called the efficient market hypothesis and what economists like Schiller refer to as irrational market behavior.

How do you open a stock brokerage firm in the UK?
if you want to set up a stock brokerage firm in UK first you need some brokerage experience, to get used to the market and to actually know how to trade and manage yours or your client's portfolio and a license issued by FSA, certifing that you are a licensed stock broker or an FA (same thing). well if you have all of these then you have everything to open up a brokerage firm
Now to set up an actual brokerage firm that operates on LSE, (not the London's school of economics) London stock exchage, you'll need to get your firm authorised by the FSA. I don't know anything about how long it takes or how they manage the application forms, but if you do get authorised you'll have your brokerage up and running and you'll be managing your client's portfolio in no time. however, it's not gonna be as it sounds as you are gonna have a hard time finding a client, the average potential client acceptance rate is 1 client per every 10~50 calls and meetings. plus these meetings are usually scheduled after trading hours.
Authorisation explainedThe Financial Services & Markets Act 2000 (FSMA)FSMA is concerned with the regulation of financial services and markets in the UK . Under Section 19 of FSMA, any person who carries on a regulated activity in the UK must be authorised by the FSA or exempt (an appointed representative or some other exemption). Breach of section 19 may be a criminal offence and punishable on indictment by a maximum term of two years imprisonment and/or a fine.A copy of FSMA, as well as secondary and related legislation, can be found on the Treasury's website. Bear in mind that this version of FSMA does not include amendments made to it by subsequent legislation.
Does my firm need to be authorised?You need to establish whether your firm's proposed business requires you to apply for authorisation to carry on regulated activities. For most smaller firms, this would typically include intermediaries selling investments and/or home finance activities and/or general insurance.For each regulated activity you must also identify with which investment type your activities will be concerned.
The activities and specified investments are detailed in The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 (RAO), which is secondary legislation under FSMA.
What are the regulated activities?Regulated activities are defined in Part II of the RAO and comprise:- accepting deposits;
- issuing e-money;
- effecting or carrying out contracts of insurance as principal;
- dealing in investments (as principal or agent);
- arranging deals in investments;
- arranging home finance activities;
- operating a multilateral trading facility;
- managing investments;
- assisting in the administration and performance of a contract of insurance;
- safeguarding and administering investments;
- sending dematerialised instructions;
- establishing etc collective investment schemes;
- establishing etc stakeholder pension schemes;
- providing basic advice on stakeholder products;
- advising on investments;
- advising on home finance activities;
- Lloyd's market activities;
- entering funeral plan contracts;
- entering into a home finance activity;
- administering a home finance activity;
- agreeing to do most of the above activities.
Specified investments are defined in Part III of the RAO and comprise:
- deposits;
- electronic money;
- rights under a contract of insurance;
- shares etc;
- instruments creating or acknowledging indebtedness;
- government and public securities;
- instruments giving entitlement to investments;
- certificates representing certain securities;
- units in a collective investment scheme;
- rights under a stakeholder pension scheme;

- rights under a home purchase plan;
- Rights to or interests in anything that is a specified investment listed, excluding 'Rights under regulated mortgage contracts', 'Rights under regulated home reversion plans' and Rights under regulated home purchase plans'.
For smaller firms, we have developed several standard permission profiles containing regulated activities and investment types. You can find these in the application packs. If none of these profiles match the business that you want to do, you will need to construct your own.
The activities and specified investment types we regulate are described in greater detail in chapter 2 of the Perimeter Guidance Manual (PERG).
ExclusionsExclusions are provisions that turn activities that would otherwise be regulated activities into unregulated activities. So if you can rely on an exclusion for an activity, you would not require FSA authorisation to carry it out. Who is exempt from authorisation?A person who is an appointed representative is exempt from authorisation. Other exemptions include:- a professional firm (i.e. a firm of solicitors, accountants or actuaries) carrying on certain regulated activities that are incidental to its main business; or
- a local authority or certain kind of housing body carrying on insurance mediation or mortgage activities.
FSA guidance on the business element can be found in PERG 2.3.
Financial promotionsA financial promotion is an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity. Investment activity is defined under section 21(8) FSMA as:(a) entering or offering to enter into an agreement the making or performance of which by either party constitutes a controlled activity; or
(b) exercising any rights conferred by a controlled investment to acquire, dispose of, underwrite or convert a controlled investment.
Under section 21 of FSMA, an unauthorised person may not communicate a financial promotion in the UK , in the course of business, unless either:
(1) its contents are approved for the purposes of section 21 by an authorised person or (2) it is subject to an exemption under the Financial Services & Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (FPO).
Controlled activities and controlled investments are prescribed under Schedule 1 of the FPO and include such things as buying shares or bonds, selling insurance and managing investments.
You can find further guidance on financial promotions in chapter 8 of PERG.
