Question

if i bought stock at $40 sold it at $50 rebought it at $48 and again sold it at $56 how much would i have made. i was thinking $18. nothing to do with school just pondering

Answer 1

yes 18 bucks, minus the broker fee to purchase and sell.
many are 25 bucks a transaction.

Answer 2

learn how to use excel etc...


$40
$50
---
$10 profit

$48 - 50 =$2 banked
48
56
---
$8 profit

puts you back at $10 profit

after capital gains anywhere between $2.50 and $5


however if you buy each seperately and not from the same money

you make $10 on the first
and $8 on the second
so
18$

If you use the same money from the first gain for the second purchase then you only make the $10

but your initial investment on the $18 is $88
and your initial investment on the $10 is $40

your return is greater on the second one.. 25% (around 1/4
versus just under (1/5th)

that is if you spent $80 for two times the stock initially then you would have 20$ at the end and still not pay have as much cash
tied up..


you get all the money back regadless it just depends how much capital you have to invest.

Answer 3

Assuming one share with no commission, you would have made you made $18.00. You started with $40 and now have $58.

Answer 4

$10.00 per share less broker fees, commissions etc. Usually a percentage of the original amount or pre trade value.
