BAC, DB, IMB, WB, HNP, GXP, SO, KMP, NAT, PFE, ACAS, ACH, BXA, DBY. They all get better than 3% dividends, but some should grow in value more rapidly than others. I'm also considering CVX, IMKTA, and a couple of others that don't get good dividends but have high growth.

A stock had a 12 percent return last year, a year when the overall stock market declined. Does this mean that the stock has a negative beta and thus very little risk if held in a portfolio? Explain

I was going to keep it just because it was unique. But it doesnt really symbolize anything to me. And from what I hear it is not worth anything... why keep it?

I found bits and pieces of my question in other posts but I am going to ask it here in whole. Thanks.

A company thinks their stock is overvalued and doubles the number of outstanding shares (e.g. 2 for 1 split) and cuts the price in half resulting in no immediate market value change.

As an investor you see in your brokerage account the number of shares double while the price falls by half resulting in a net market value change of zero.

What about your cost basis?

Let's say you have only been buying shares (never sold any) of one stock and that you are using the average cost basis your broker calculates for you. All of a sudden the price of those split shares dropped by 50% so if you decided to sell some shares right after the spilt could you potentially even sell at a capital loss and get a tax deduction (more likely the taxable earnings will be less)?

Basically how is your cost basis effected since the stock's price "artificially" went down? Good time to sell?

I contribute a percentagfe of my paycheck into a 401K program. I move this money around in different funds and some have a good Personal Rate of Return, while others are not so good. On my entire portfolio I have an average rate of return of 1.000% to 2.000%. What type of return rate should I aim for?

If I am correct, the LSE quotes its prices in pence and a pence is 1/100th of a British pound (like a cent is to a dollar). So as an example Tesco is trading at 435. This is 435 pence so that is 4.35 pounds which at the current exchange rate of 2 pounds to 1 dollar is about just $9.7. Is that correct? Why then are stock prices so much lower in the UK than they are in the US? Or am I mistaken about that?

If i log onto any European stock exchange and look up symbols for most stocks listed on US exchanges, and look at the intraday chart, guess what? theres no charts or price information that day. So if you hold shares in these equities, you dont know what theyre worth, where theyre heading or nothing.

ON one stock exchange, i even noticed that the idiot who designed the site, had even forgot to include an intraday aswell the 5 day price area.

Does anyone know where I can actually get live intrady prices as described above.

If anyone knows the answer, include your email address and I will reward you by means of telling you how to thrive and profit from such information. Theres a nice little incentive for you if youre interested !!!!
