Regardless of the type of brokerage used, the mechanics of buying or selling shares is fairly uniform. First, a stock quote is obtained. In the early days of stock exchanges, price information was transmitted via tickertape — a long ribbon of paper that printed basic data via telegraph wire. That is why today we still refer to stock quotes as the ticker. A stock quote carries a lot of information including the current bid and offer prices as well as the last price that traded.
The bid is the highest price that somebody in the market is willing to pay at a given time, while the offer is the lowest price that somebody is willing to sell. If you are interested in buying shares, you will make a bid, and if you want to sell an offer.
When the price of a bid and offer coincide, a trade is affected. Stock quotes obtained online are often real-time quotes that confer second- by-second details, and online quotes also often include charts and interactive tools. With this regard, the investors must be knowledgeable in interpreting the stock movements of a company that they acquired in order to manage the investments and to properly handle their investments with their own capacity, ability and comprehension.
This typically does not include the previous day's trading. If there are no special symbols or letters following the name, it is common stock. Different symbols imply different classes of shares. For example, "pf" means the shares are preferred stock.
Column 4: Ticker Symbol - This is the unique alphabetic name which identifies the stock. If you watch financial TV, you have seen the ticker tape move across the screen, quoting the latest prices alongside this symbol.
If you are looking for stock quotes online, you always search for a company by the ticker symbol. Column 5: Dividend Per Share - This indicates the annual dividend payment per share.
If this space is blank, the company does not currently pay out dividends. Column 6: Dividend Yield - The percentage return on the dividend. Calculated as annual dividends per share divided by price per share. Column 8: Trading Volume - This figure shows the total number of shares traded for the day, listed in hundreds. To get the actual number traded, add "00" to the end of the number listed.
In other words, these are the maximum and the minimum prices that people have paid for the stock. Keep in mind, you are not guaranteed to get this price if you buy the stock the next day because the price is constantly changing even after the exchange is closed for the day. The close is merely an indicator of past performance and except in extreme circumstances serves as a ballpark of what you should expect to pay. Column Net Change - This is the dollar value change in the stock price from the previous day's closing price.
When you hear about a stock being "up for the day," it means the net change was positive. For example, if ABC Corporation is valued at P1,, and it has , shares outstanding, the price of each share is P A company has stuff and sells stuff. The stuff it has are buildings, machineries, patents, money in the bank, etc. One of the primary benefits of investing in the stock market is the chance to grow your money.
