The price to earnings ratio is commonly known as the P/E. It signifies how much you pay for a stock versus how much money the company has made. For example, if a company's earnings were $1 per share and the stock price was $25 the P/E would be 25. This is sometimes referred to as valuation: The company is valued at 25 times earnings. There are many ways to value a company but the value based on the P/E is one of the easiest and most common.

How may stock exchanges in the world.

To me the answer right now is simple: JP Morgan somehow managed to get the government to sell them Washington Mutual for a mere $1.9 Billion directly after the government took it over. Washington Mutual has billions in assets as well as the obvious deposit accounts from its customers. Of course you have to factor in the debt and losses JP Morgan will assume by taking over Washington Mutual.

However, the low price that they paid will allow JP Morgan to easily offset the losses from all of Washington Mutual's bad debt. In my opinion JP Morgan received a tremendous bargain and in the long run will turn the acquisition of Washington Mutual into massive profit. They can sell off the assets, some of which they will actually use (the Washington Mutual branches) for their own in the markets which they used to compete with Washington Mutual.

So I look at it as going to a garage sale and purchasing an ugly set of silver plates for a fraction of their worth. You know that if you polish them up you could easily sell them on eBay for a massive profit compared to what you paid. However the person selling them to you was the husband who had no clue what they were worth and didnt talk to the wife first =) You got lucky and dealt with the husband instead.

On a side note: The CEO of Washington Mutual was unaware of the takeover by the government until he received a phone call in mid flight. I am sure his heart stopped and he desperately wanted off the plane, when it landed of course.

- The CEO of Washington Mutual must not have been too worried after all he did receive a $7.5 million signing bonus and $11.3 million in severance pay for being the CEO for just 17 days... He must have actually jumped with joy when the call came...

My guess is you will need to buy another gun just like it, and have spare parts. I have a 583.19 that was my Dad's first gun, circa 1950's, and his Dad and I refinished the stock in the 1980's. Either someone will carve one up for you, or you will need to buy a whole shotgun. Mine has a beautiful and in-tect red-rubber and black phenolic pad on the end, I consider this to be the hardest part to replace. If your stock is still essentially "there", have it correctly refinished by a smith. If it is missing all together, I think you are going to be in the market for a whole gun, maybe one with bad rust or mechanicals so you can made one good one out of two abused ones. If you are doing it just to sell, don't bother, sell your good mechanicals, the market for these is sentimental only, unless you have one of the European rifles.

The ex-dividend date is the day after which all shares bought and sold no longer come attached with the right to be paid the most recently declared dividend. This is an important date for any company that has many stockholders, including those that trade on exchanges, as it makes reconciliation of who is to be paid the dividend easier. Prior to this date, the stock is said to be cum dividend ('with dividend'): existing holders of the stock and anyone who buys it will receive the dividend, whereas any holders selling the stock lose their right to the dividend. On and after this date the stock becomes ex dividend: existing holders of the stock will receive the dividend even if they now sell the stock, whereas anyone who now buys the stock now will not receive the dividend.

It is relatively common for a stock's price to decrease on the ex-dividend date by an amount roughly equal to the dividend paid. This reflects the decrease in the company's assets resulting from the declaration of the dividend. However it must be emphasised that there is no direct link between the price and the dividend, this price movement is simply a result of market action.

To sum up the date a dividend is paid is not the date a stock usually goes down but rather the date that the stock purchase no longer includes the dividend. This in no way is a guarentee a stock could be up considerably that day based on market conditions and a number of other things even with the downward pressure of no longer being able to receive that dividend.

The chief risk associated with stocks is the Market Risk.

Let us say you buy 100 stocks of XYZ limited at $10 per share. Which means you have invested $1000. After one week, assuming the market collapses and XYZ declares some problems in management. This would pull down the value of the stock and it would probably be trading at $2 or $3 per share. which means you have lost around 70% of your investment.

This is the risk associated with investing in stocks.

This is a great question since it makes us reflect on the important topic of timing a stock purchase. One of the worst possible outcomes for an investor is to buy a stock only to see it immediately start declining. Since most stocks generally go up during a bull market this is the time most investors are inclined to put their money into stocks. During bear markets, the opposite happens and like clockwork many investors sell out as prices drop, providing evidence that many investors are their own worst enemy when it comes to investing.
The concept of buying during bull markets makes sense on an intuitive level but how does that square with the unarguable wisdom of Warren Buffett who tells us to "be fearful when others are greedy and be greedy when others are fearful?" The inherent difficulty with attempting to construct a theory on the best time to buy or sell is due to the fact that no one can predict when a bull market or a bear market will end or begin. Waiting for others to become fearful can be a self defeating strategy since bull markets can last many years and during bear markets many investors will lack the long term conviction necessary to buy as stock prices decline. Instead of trying to predict the best time to buy stocks a better strategy for most investors would be to consistently invest some money each year in a broadly diversified low cost stock fund.

Yes, a searh engine will provide you with noumerous of sellers.

The value of the stock marketis an abstraction. It has value because people think it does. If they think it has less value, then its value is less. The loss therefore doesn't actually go anywhere, it just means that people are thinking about it differently.

IPO Initial Public Offering is made by private companies to convert it into public based companies and that is the first time ever that company is selling its shares to the public whereas Equity share is the existing share of a company in the market. Once IPO is done, the company doesn't want to buy its own shares from the public, instead the company will pay the interest to the public who holds its shares.

You can argue both ways, "yes it is" and "no it isn't" can be equally true.

The similarities are strongest with gambling in the sense of poker: In poker it is possible to consistently beat the other players if you are better than the other players at the game.

There are people that play the stock market like a game of roulette - throw your money at a random stock and leave the rest to luck - but this is more a (normally short-lived) style of trading rather than something inherent in the stock market.

People that believe in the "random walk" theory, that stock prices change by random unpredictable fluctuations, are essentially saying that gambling and stocks are the same, and that the only way to beat the odds is to be on the other side of the table - running the casino (being an investment bank or broker) rather than playing the roulette (buying and selling stocks).

People that believe in the "investment" perspective say that investments are not gambling at all - in the long run (10-20 years) a good investment strategy gives high returns with small risk and benefits society along the way, so it is more like running a business than gambling.

My view is that the primary difference between gambling and business is one of attitude: In business you will look for ways to minimize risk and maximize profit, and will abandon approaches that do not have the potential for consistent returns in the long run. Contrast with gamblers who keep taking high risks for a negative expected return, and are always hoping for an elusive stroke of luck to turn the tables.

If we think of it this way, some professional poker players may be considered more businessmen than gamblers. Stock traders come in both variants, there are both gamblers and businessmen among them.

Investments carry risks, so does business. But it is often possible to minimize the downside and maximize the upside. If you keep looking for ways to do this, and walk away from a deal/bet/investment when the risk-to-reward ratio is not to your liking, I think it is business rather than gambling.

The stock market can be used either way, it is mostly a matter of how you approach it.

See related links for some views. why at all this logical gambling is required?.In fact this share market trading to be abolished. There is a straight way to invest. let the company give its demand for share capital WITH face value. The controlling body(TO BE SETUP FOR THIS) should supply to public on first come first serve basis.(WITH SOME SEALING) No secondary market trading. But the annual profit of company is to be shared and distributed to the share holder. In case of redemption by someone, the waiting person to be alloted .By this method ,the market sentiment will not affect the share price. All the amount actually SPENT BY THE INVESTERS will be used for the company production.The share holders will get profit/loss share from their company proportional to their no of shares. So why this trading and unwanted P/E and P/B. WHY THE HARD EARNED MONEY OF ONE INVESTER SHOULD VAINLY GO TO ANOTHER INVESTER WITHOUT PARTICIPATING IN THE PRODUCTION?

An increase in short selling may mean a number of things like: A build up anxiety over how strong the stock gains were just prior to the increase in shorts. It could mean that those who benefited from the gain are ready to switch strategies and make money by shorting the stock. it could also mean that the stock might have reached the top of it's game. That's what I think increasing shorts mean. Do you have a better definition? if so I would love to hear from you.
