Hi all,

I am trying to calculate the EMA of a certain share. So far so good (I have the right formula etc.).
My question: what value do I use as the first EMA? After all I MUST start somewhere... For the first calculation I tried 0 as the EMA of the first day but that distorts my calculation.
Any ideas?

thanks!

Currently, I am reading two books on investing of opposite strategies. On one hand, I am reading Jim Cramer's Real Money book where he believes the market is not 100% efficient and there is money to be made that beats the indexes by a decent return. Year after year, these are found in the small cap, less discussed stocks.

On the other hand, I am reading "A Random Walk Down Wallstreet," which discusses investing behavior and how people through the centuries have been burnt by "castles in the sky." This book recommends value investing the Warren Buffet way in ETF's, etc.

Warren Buffet said in his 2005 letter (paraphrased), "Investors have had a string of good returns but have learned any number multiplied by zero equals zero."

Basically, I am just looking for some conversation on which school of thought you believe in and why.

Thanks in advance and I apologize for any spelling/grammar errors.

Financial Advising companies appear to be popping up on every street corner. How do you know which ones are the good ones? Anybody have experiences with Edward Jones? How about franchising an Edward Jones' office....lucrative?

A public limited company was recently formed to manufacture a new product. It has the following capital structure in the market value terms:
DebenturesRs. 7,000,000
Preferred stock 1,000,000
Common stock (320,000 shares) 8,000,000
---------------------
Total capital Rs.16,000,000

The company has a marginal tax rate of 40%. A study of publicly held companies in this line of business suggests that the required return on equity is about 17%. The company’s debt is currently yielding 13%, and its preferred stock is yielding 15%.

Compute the firm’s present weighted average cost of capital.

I would like to know your opionions on if I should keep or sell my stock.
I have 460 shares with Sempra Energy (almsost 30K) Sounds like there are 2 or so shares added every month and the shares are worth around $54 they have jumped up in the last few years.
My spouse wants me to sell and put it in mutual funds because he thinks it is safer there.
I want to keep it where its been all this time and let it grow.
