I'm working on the finer points of my trading plan and I need some help with my logic. Please check my logic/calc on the below....

I purchased a stock for $50.35 and sold it 76 calendar days later for $55.98 - an increase of 11.18%.

If I'm trying to compare that to quoted interest rates of other investments, does that then translate into:
1) .15% daily (11.18 divided by 76) and thus
2) 53.69% annually (.15 times 365)
3) this investment was roughly 10 times better than what I would have received in interest on a bank account or CD.

Thanks so much for your help. I hope my question makes sense.

Market capitalization is the total amount a company is worth on the stock market. Number of shares times the price of the shares.

Google is worth more than Yahoo. Yahoo is worthless.

Why do you think that is?

Is it because Yahoo has such a subjective, anti-free speech content that addresses itself to such a narrow band of users?

Is it because Google has created a business model that addresses primarily business users while maintaining content for the broad range of non-business users?

Is it some other issue?

Let me know. It looks like Yahoo might be on an upward trend and I am wondering if it has long term potential or if it is just going to flounder again.

thanks

I know the question is tongue in cheek sarcasm. That does not make the question irrelevant, it makes the question irreverent.

There are mutual fund schemes which have run over two decades and have NAVs above Rs.150/-
Is it okay to invest in such schemes with long term view?
One fellow explained me the concept where when one invests money in bank's fixed deposit, where no units are offered but only assured returns and still people invest their money there.

Ditto attitude should be adopted when investing in aged MF schemes, where one should not focus on units purchased but attention be paid to expected growth of money invested after a reasonable research.

But my concern is schemes implicit age of death.
