Or does it just split the common stock par value?. Say you are holding 100 TREASURY STOCK shares each with $10 par value, then would a 2-for-1 stock split decrease par value of TREASURY STOCK shares to $5 and number of treasury shares to 200?

A stock option is purchased at $1 per option, 100 shares and $50 per share. When the stock price rises to $60 per share, the sophisticated investor sells his/her option for $10 per share (or 1,000 for the unit of 100 shares and realizes a gain of $900).

I understand how the investor has made the $900 gain, as the stock price has gone up. I do not understand how the investor can sell the option for $10 rather than sell the actual stocks. I see how selling at $10 makes the appropriate gain of $900, but how can the actual option have gone up in value? Would it be correct to assume that there are a lot of options selling for $10 at that point in time?

I don't want an answer about supply and demand. I understand that prices increase as demand increases, etc. I want to know which person actually says, "This stock will now be listed at this price." or "This stock will now be raised (or lowered) to this price." For example, in a supermarket, the store owner utimately sets the price of an item. Who actually sets the price in a stock market?

I have decided to start investing in the stock market, and have about $1000 that I can use for investing. I am up to date with the state of our economy and know a good amount about the stock market. Does anyone know what would be a good online service to use? I have heard that Scottrade is the cheapest, but does it fit the needs of someone like me? I plan on actively trading stocks, and using it a bit for short-term gains, not just long term, so I will be trading quite often. Will the commission fees catch up to me? Any help and advice would be great. Thanks.

23. A currency dealer has good credit and can borrow either $1,000,000 or €800,000 for one year. The one-year interest rate in the U.S. is i$ = 2% and in the euro zone the one-year interest rate is i€ = 6%. The spot exchange rate is $1.25 = €1.00 and the one-year forward exchange rate is $1.20 = €1.00. Show how to realize a certain profit via covered interest arbitrage.

A. Borrow $1,000,000 at 2%. Trade $1,000,000 for €800,000; invest at i€ = 6%; translate proceeds back at forward rate of $1.20 = €1.00, gross proceeds = $1,017,600.
B. Borrow €800,000 at i€ = 6%; translate to dollars at the spot, invest in the U.S. at i$ = 2% for one year; translate €848,000 back into euro at the forward rate of $1.20 = €1.00. Net profit $2,400.
C. Borrow €800,000 at i€ = 6%; translate to dollars at the spot, invest in the U.S. at i$ = 2% for one year; translate €850,000 back into euro at the forward rate of $1.20 = €1.00. Net profit €2,000.
D. Answers c) and b) are both correct

Doing some research on them and I see that their shares have went down a lot in the past year and they have a lot of insider trading, 20% of insider shares have been sold in the past year. I also see that they sold operations in the UK and are downsizing I guess? They also seem to be going around and managing their insurance expenses as they used to selfinsure then they switched to an actual insurance company and then they switched accounting. This stock overall just seems to have a lot of problems. As I said Im just doing research on it would love some pointers of what I should look for in the filings or any opinions overall.

I saw on a tv show last night, that the best thing a young person who doesn't have a lot of money can do is invest in a Spyder. Does anyone have first hand experience in this, and if so, can you tell me how this works and where I can go to start the process?
