so your net profit in the stock market after you sell your shares is the final price-beginning price?

Question

so if you bought apple for $90 and now its $200, if you sell, do you get 110?

Answer 1

Assuming you bought the shares in the "conventional" way, your cost was $90+commission. You sold the shares for $200-commission. So you "get" less than $110. Under most circumstances the gain would be taxable, so the actual "net profit" would be even less than the foregoing. In other words, it depends on certain conditions.

Answer 2

No, you get the $200. But you have already paid out $90 so your profit is $110 (ignoring brokerage fees). Of course the tax man will want his cut too.

Now if you are talking about employee stock options, you will only get the $110 if you exercise the options and sell the shares on the same day.

Answer 3

200-90= 110 ?

Profit is considered to be the increase in your wealth. If you've already paide 90 for it, the first 90 that you get back is just a "wash". the rest of the money after the first 90 you get will be profit.

Answer 4

Minus fees. Your theoretical profit is $110 if you only bought one share.

Answer 5

Yes, less brokerage fees,,;-)=

Answer 6

No.
