Im hvg 50k and i wan't invest it gold what is right time to investe?
Now is not the right time to invest. Now gold is going down in price, which means all the people who bought at $1800 and are now holding $1600 gold are REAL upset.
My opinion on this subject, which is NOT shared by a lot of people, is gold is worth $600 per ounce. Period. I don't think it's worth buying once it gets past $650, because gold is like any other investment vehicle: It can, and does, lose value on a moment's notice. There's never been an investment vehicle, since investing was invented, that didn't lose value periodically.

Why does stock market use decimal values?
Because money uses decimal values.
The stock market used to divide the price of a share into by half, fourth, eighth, sixteenth of a dollar (or pound, presumably). A fourth of a dollar is 25 cents, but an eighth is 12 and a half cents. Since we never make a purchase of a half of a cent, it was logical to use round cents.
When stocks split do they go down in value?
Typically, at the time of a split, values remain the same, but PRICE drops. It usually takes place to make the "per share" price more affordable. For example- a stock has gained value, and is trading at $100 per share. The company decides to have a 2 for one split. You had 10 shares of the old $100/share stock. You would get 20 shares of the NEW stock, which would be worth $50 per share. No net change.
However, when a company announces a split, it is usually because the stock has been going up for some time- a good thing.
Why preferred stock is called hybrid security?
The phrase 'preferred stock' means stock whose holders are guaranteed priority in the payment of dividends but whose holders have no voting rights.
Preferred stocks combine features of a stock and a bond, although they differ in many aspects from both. But since principally there are only two ways to invest--to be a part owner or to lend money--preferred stocks fall somewhere in between.
Similarities with Common Stocks
Ø Like common stocks, preferred stocks represent ownership in the issuing corporation.Ø Income from preferred stocks is called dividends, as is income from common stocks.
Ø Common and preferred stocks are issued as perpetual securities, with no maturity date.
Similarities with Bonds
Ø Like most bonds, preferred stocks usually pay a fixed amount of income and fluctuate with interest rates. Many bonds are also issued with a call feature; when interest rates fall, a corporation can refinance high-coupon bonds and high-dividend preferred stocks with lower-cost debt.
Ø Like bond it has no voting right.
Ø Like bond preferred stock holders also can establish claim profit in the form of dividend before common stock holders.
Since preferred stock posses both characteristic of common stock and bond that is why it is called hybrid security.

How do you compute value of preferred stock?
You can check with a stock broker and ask for a quote on the price of a preferred stock. A preferred stock pays a fixed dividend. The dividend does not go up. It does not go down. Some times when business is bad and the company does not make a profit, the company fails to pay the dividend. If the stock is non cumulative, the dividend is simply skipped. If it is cumulative, then it is paid if the company makes money. When there is money, the preferred dividend is paid first. The stock may or may not be convertible. If it is convertible, it can be exchanged for common stock if the value of the common becomes higher than that of the preferred. The preferred percentage is based on the value printed on the face of the stock. It may be $100 or $1000. Thus if it is 5% of 1,000 the dividend is $50.
All that is simply to say a number of factors go into calculating the value of preferred. How stable is the company. Will it pay the dividend. How does the dividend compare to the same amount of money invested in government securities? Is the preferred convertible?
Of corse preferred are usually voting shares just like common shares. If there is a proxy fight then that can also affect the value.
