Capital markets unite buyers and sellers of securities. Corporations raise capital by selling shares, while investors buy stocks to invest savings. Shares of stock represent ownership stakes over business assets. Prices fluctuate in concert with the prevailing sentiment related to the world economy. Of course, stock price movements also correlate with business performance. Appreciate the relationship between stock price and business value, before putting together a portfolio that matches your objectives.

Buying Stocks to Make Money: Initial Research

You will first make a list of investments of interest, which may include some of your favorite companies. As a lover of fast food, you may think of McDonald's as a prospective investment. From there, you can visit online financial portals, such as Bloomberg and BigCharts.com to pull up stock quotes and charts for these potential investments.

Use the online technology to compare stock charts to relevant performance benchmarks. For example, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 track large U.S. stocks, while highlighting economic cycles. Your analysis should account for the effects of growth and recession upon stocks, profits and business valuations.

Buying Stocks to Make Money: Research Business Valuations

Order annual reports related to the stocks that are being researched. You may contact the investor relations department for paper copies, or access the information online. Annual reports contain news, financial statements, and statistical data that can be compared against share prices for business valuations.

Multiply current share prices times the number of common shares outstanding to calculate market capitalization. You will find the total number of shares outstanding within the balance sheet section of the annual report. Market capitalization defines the value that stock market investors apply to the entire company. Large capitalization stocks are generally ideal for conservative investors. According to Investopedia, large capitalization stocks are worth more than $10 billion.

Next, you will scan stock tables online, or within your daily newspaper for basic financial statistics. The price to earnings (P/E) ratio describes how investors value the corporation's earnings power, as it divides earnings per share into the current share price. For example, stocks that carry P/E ratios over 50 are more "expensive" than stocks featuring P/E ratios of 15. Aggressive growth stocks generally carry high price-to-earnings ratios.

It is important that you develop your own system for calculating business valuations -away from current stock market trading. For example, book value per share relates to subtracting liabilities from assets and dividing by shares outstanding. Further, intrinsic value is calculated by predicting future earnings power, and discounting those profits by prevailing interest rates to arrive at a present value. Stocks are cheap, when they trade at lower prices than the book and intrinsic values of their underlying businesses.

Buying Stocks to Make Money: Trading Stocks for a Profit

You are likely to prefer an online trading account, as a value-conscious investor that prefers to do your own research. As of 2010, Scottrade and E-Trade are two discount brokers that charge brokerage commissions of less than $10 per trade. Be advised that these companies do not offer financial advice, and that no investment can ever be guaranteed.

After opening your brokerage account, you will list stocks that may be described as undervalued when comparing your analysis to their actual share prices in the stock market. These stocks could represent bargains that are ideal for long-term investment. To manage risks, you may dollar-cost-average into these stocks. Dollar-cost-averaging is a process, where you commit to smaller investments over an extended period of time, instead of putting up one lump sum of cash.

You should also identify stocks that are overvalued while reconciling your personal calculations against stock market performance. These shares may be ideal candidates for either short sales, or liquidation if they are already part of your portfolio.

Remember that trading stocks is a dynamic and ongoing process. It is important for you to regularly monitor and compare stock price performance against earnings and asset statistics, regularly. The frequency of these comparisons relates to your trading style and the amount of money that is on the line. As a long-term, buy and hold investor, you should review your portfolio at least semi-annually.

How to make your home Wheelchair obtainable. Nicely the first thing to find out is the elevation that you will possess.


Ramp Takeout by neshachan


Let's face it. If you're in a wheelchair, you're not going up a flight stairs. But it's not just for people in a wheelchair, anyone who has trouble walking can have some serious problems around stairs. So what do you do when you live in a home with steps and you can't get inside? You need a handicap ramp. In this article I'll explain the math and a few basic principles on designing your own handicap ramp.

Now I obviously can't tell you how to build a handicap ramp to fit your own steps due to the fact that everyone's home may be different, but what I can tell you is the basic math equations that you will need to build a handicap ramp according to the specifications of the standard building code. While each county and state has its own specific code required for building a handicap ramp, I will explain the southern standard building codes rules for a ramp. Remember to always call your local building department to verify your design and purchase any permits that may be required for a handicap ramp.

So lets start with some basic math first. To begin, you will need to find the height of your handicap ramp. Using a straight edge or a level, place it on top of the platform you are building the handicap ramp to. Hang it over the edge and measure down to the bottom of your platform. According to the southern standard building code, a handicap ramp must fall no more than one inch in height per one foot of length. This formula is the ideal for wheelchairs and other mobility devices.

Lets use the formula now on my porch. I measured down my steps at home and came up with the measurement of two feet. Now we need to multiply 24 inches by 12. 12 is the number of inches in one foot. Our answer is 288 inches. That means our handicap ramp must be a total length of 288 inches or 24 feet long. The formula is height x 12" = ramp length.

Now that you have the length of your ramp determined you will need to cut some stringers. Stringers are the long boards your ramp will be supported by. Your best bet for stringers are to use 2x12's made from pressure treated yellow pine. Yellow pine is the strongest structural wood there is. Measure the 2x12's to length and cut. Now mark one end to the height of the handicap ramp. You may need to place another 2x12 on top of the other to achieve the required height. Using a chalk box, snap a line from one end of the 2x12 to the other end that you just marked and rip cut the board using a circular saw.

Now you can use the stringers to build your ramp. You may need to notch the stringers around steps or other obstacles as needed. Attach supports between the stringers at least every 16 inches. Use at least 2x6's or larger for supporting the weight of people. For plywood, a good bet is to use at least ¾ inch or thicker. Using pressure treated plywood or marine grade is a real good idea for outdoor use, otherwise you will need to weatherproof it with paint or water seal. Good luck with your handicap ramp!

the stock market crash by dinahjean


The Wall Street Stock Market has bounced back, after yesterday's sell-off. On February 27, the Dow Industrials plunged 416 points, causing unease among investors.

On Tuesday, February 17, the Dow dropped 416 points, which was 3.3 percent. This was the largest single-day point loss since the day the stock market reopened after the September 11, 2001 attacks, according the CNN.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke calmed investors after he told a House panel the the markets seem to be "working well" and are functioning normally. He also said that the sell off hasn't altered the Fed's view on U.S. economic growth.

After the Federal Reserved Chairman's remarks, the Dow soared more than 100 points.

The Fed Chairman allayed some fears of a slowdown in the in the U.S. and Chinese economies that brought on Tuesday's drop. There were remarks earlier in the week from former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, warned that a U.S. recession could take hold this year. Greenspans remarks may have contributed to Tuesday's declines.

A Commerce Department report that the U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the fourth quarter. The reading of the gross Domenic product was slightly below expectations, but they were not as low as some investors feared they would be.

Bernanke's comments and the GDP report helped depressed stock prices look a little more attractive. "It's typical that you get a bounce back the next day,; said Joseph V. Battipahlia, Chief Investment Officer and Ryan Bect & Company "Now we're essentially flat on the year. Can we go up from here or down? That sorting-out process will continue now."

According to NASDAQ, Bernanke reassured investors, saying "there didn't seem to be any single trigger for Tuesday's sell-off. He also noted that financial markets "seem to be working well" and that there has been "no material change" in the Fed's expectation for the U.S. economy. In fact, he said today's downward revision of Q4 GDP is "More consistent with our overall view of the economy" than the original report and that there's a "reasonable possibility" that the economy will show signs of strengthening as the year progresses.

"The Fed Chairman also put to rest concerns about sub prime mortgage lending spreading into the broader economy and said he sees no liquidity problem. Both items contributed to yesterday's widespread panic, and have provided an added sense of comfort for bargain hunter believing the sell-off was overdone." According to NASDAQ

NASDAQ reported that Wireless Services were the day's best performing S&P Industry group. Investors applauded Sprint Nextel which showed a 33% rise in their fourth quarter profits.

The biggest gain in the Dow was by Proctor and Gamble, which soared nearly 4 percent. Pharmaceutical maker Merck rose 2 percent after raising its full year earnings forecast. American Express jumped 2.3 percent.

Home builder shares fell amid concerns about the housing slump. New home sales experienced their steepest plunge in 13 years in January, according to a government report. The rising glut of new houses on the market pushed prices lower.

The Commerce Department said gross domestic product, which is the nation's broadest measure of the nation's economic activity, rose 2.2 percent in the fourth quarter, versus an earlier estimate of 3.5 percent growth.

The China Shanghai Composite Index fell nearly 9 percent Tuesday. The China Shanghai Composite Index showed a recovery today, helping to boost U.S. stocks.

Stock and Bond Investing - Risks and Advantages  by businesspictures


This article on how to manage a stock portfolio for beginners contains; research tips, important points in managing a portfolio, rules to trade by, recommended online brokers, and a checklist to follow for beginning investors at the end of the article. - Many investors choose to have a financial advisor to handle their stock and investment portfolio. As a financial advisor in training I would agree to this statement only because I would want your business. No investor needs a financial advisor. If you have over a hundred thousand dollars and would like to get involved in investing you should definitely seek some professional advice to protect your money. If you are an average working man/woman then you should try investing on your own. Anyone over the age of 18 can trade stock, and should. I have learned many valuable lessons (such as patience) through investing. Anyone can manage a stock portfolio. Anyone can drive a car also, but it doesn't mean you won't hit a tree or slide off of the road every once in a while. Successful investing takes discipline, skill, money, and lots and lots of research.

Best Places for Research (Free)
Practice makes perfect. Research and "mock" investing are the best ways to make sure you are headed in the right direction. Mock investing is fun and can lead to success in the actual stock market. Mock investing with research is the best "training" you can get to succeed. Don't underestimate the value of practicing before you take the plunge into actual investments. Here are two great free places to get started researching and mock investing.

Yahoo.com/finance
Yahoo Finance is my favorite place to create mock portfolios and track their performance. This is a good way to start before you invest actual money. You can enter in purchase prices of stocks and track your gains or losses. Yahoo provides free charts, company information, and more.

Motley Fool Caps
The place where the voice of the people reins king. User's rate stocks, give recommendations, and explain why the stock will soar or fall. A good place to find stocks to watch is the top rated section of Motley Fool Caps. I have found several solid companies from user recommendations. This site also allows a user to create a portfolio and tracks performance. You can compete in contests against all of the other users and their stock selections.

Invest Online
In the internet brokerage world it is very easy to setup an account, transfer funds, and purchase a portfolio worth of stock in a matter of days if not hours(2 recommendations for online brokers are located near the end of the article). After choosing an online stock broker you have the task of transferring money to your account which is extremely simple. Automatic transfers, direct deposit from your employer, and mailing a check are a few of the many options to fund your portfolio.

Important Points in Managing a Stock Portfolio

Learn How to Read Financial Statements
A very important part of researching companies to invest in is to read their financial statements. This seems like a long and boring task when all you want to do is get in the action and make some trades, but is necessary to become a successful investor. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provides a lot of information on it's website to beginning investors. There is a great article on Beginners' Guide to Financial Statements that gives a beginner a good understanding of financial statements and how to read them.

Track Company News & Earnings Reports
As a parent is concerned with his/her children's report card grades, an investor should be as concerned and interested in company news and earnings reports of stocks they hold. A piece of good news or bad news can change your entire investment within minutes. On yahoo finance you can set alerts for any news that comes out about one of your company's stock. Much like reading financial statements, learning what to make of earnings reports is not easy but very important. Here is a great article on how earnings reports are important, how they work, and how to read them.

Set Goals
Most investors don't enter the market for pure fun. Whether you're investing for your children's college fund or a new set of golf clubs write out your goals. If you are constantly reminded of why you are investing it will help keep your thoughts focused on your goals. It is good to set monthly and yearly goals. A goal I try to set for myself is to earn over 10% a year, which is considered to be the average return of stock investing.

Don't Repeat Mistakes
When I first started investing I focused my research and money on penny stocks. I now know that penny stocks are the most unpredictable investment (more like high stakes gambling). Investing in penny stocks in the world of financial investments is similar to playing Russian Roulette at your family board game night. Several trades into penny stock investing I quickly learned my lesson and lost my money.

The key to anything in life is learning from your mistakes. A good thing to do is keep a log of the bad investment choices and the good ones and refer to this oftern before making your next stock purchase. Even the best of us mistakes, but the best do not make the same mistakes again.

Get Over the Woulda Shoulda Coulda's
This is one that I am not personally capable of. Every day I think of opportunities missed and mistakes that cannot be reversed. The one that always gets me is Jones Soda (JSDA). I first purchased shares of JSDA at .25 a share. I put just $500 in the stock as I knew it was risky. Nearly a year later I sold all of my shares at $3 making a nice profit of $5500! There was no logical reason to sell but I did. A year and a half later the stock peaked at $30 a share!!! Its hard dealing with the fact that I missed out on $60,000 but it is something that is important to forget so you can move on and find the next great investment. Also this is a one in a million shot as most penny stocks fail and not flourish such as Jones Soda. Focus your regret on your research and not on "what if".

Rules to Trade By

Diversify
You know the saying "don't put all of your eggs in one basket". This rule applies heavily to investing. You want to invest in different sectors, different capitals (Large caps, small caps, etc.), and in different countries. A good plan is to find the top performing companies in each sector, country, and capital to track in a mock portfolio. Diversifying is important because at any given time a sector, or country can take a substantial hit that could severely damage your portfolio. An extreme example would be if you only owned oil companies and the world ran out of oil. If America is in a recession then focus in thriving countries around the world. Many companies from other countries are traded publicly in U.S. exchanges. You most certainly don't need one stock in every sector and/or country, but a decent mix will prove to be beneficial to your portfolio's value.

Think Long Term
If you are investing in stocks to become instantly rich, then you will soon learn that this is not an easy task. Even the best company's stock can suffer during a recession. Investing long term will help to balance out the bad times with the good times. Don't buy a stock because it will go up today, buy a stock because it will succeed over the next 10 years. If you think long term when making your selections, you are already ahead of most beginning investors.

Start with Large "Blue-Chip" Companies
The smaller the price the more volatile. If the price of a stock is low, that doesn't mean it's cheap, it means it's risky. Start with larger companies whose price is usually around $40-100 a share. There are exceptions to every rule and there are many small cap stocks that will skyrocket. But as you are beginning to learn the stock market, stick with the more established and hopefully stable companies.

Set Stop Loss
Unless you are investing with a very small and forgettable amount of money, you want to protect your equity. A good way to protect yourself from losing most or all of your investment is to set a stop loss. You should set a stop loss at a point where you would be losing 15-20% of your total investment. Although it is very important to invest for the long term and keep your money in your investments, a loss has to stop somewhere. I have had positions fall 60% in the matter of a week or two simply because I did not set a stop-loss. Then I face the tough challenge of whether to hold on and pray that it rebounds or sell and take a substantial loss.

Example: You buy Visa (V) at $75 a share. $75 divided by 1.15 (15 percent) is $65. In your portfolio next to the listing of Visa stock you would click on sell. When the sell screen comes up make sure to select sell limit (some brokers have a selection that says stop-loss, others don't). Once under sell limit you would simply enter $65. The trade will not happen unless Visa went under $65. The reason you want to do this is to protect your money in case of a major sell-off in that companies stock.

Don't Get Trigger Happy
My biggest problem when starting an investment portfolio at the age of 18 was making rash decisions and then changing my mind soon after making them. It got to the point where it didn't matter how good my trades were, my fees from excessive trades were more than I would ever make from stock performance.

Keep your positions to 20 or less to start with-
It is important to put a cap on your active positions. A good number for a portfolio is between 15-20 stocks. The 15-20 does not include mutual funds or ETF's that you may be holding for decades and do not actively watch. The stocks in your portfolio should be monitored often, and because of this it is important to limit your investments.

Recommended Online Brokers for Beginners

An online broker is the way to go. Stock investing online is cheap and simple. Actual brokers can charge upwards of $50 a trade. Online brokers leave most of the research and work up to you but offer easy simple trading at a very affordable price. Here are the two best online brokers for beginners based on my experience.

Scottrade- $500 account minimum is lower than average, $7 market trades. Scottrade has very good customer service and offices in most states where you are assigned a representative who can help you with any issues or concerns.

Sharebuilder- The best site for beginners hands down. No minimums and you can invest for only $4 a trade if you use the automatic investment plan. You can invest a certain amount in an investment instead of a certain number of shares. Depending on how you invest there are fees monthly or yearly.

Checklist
- Research first. You need to spend a significant amount of time researching stock trends, charts, and financial statements before investing.
- Mock trade. Set up a Yahoo Finance account, and create a portfolio and track the performance of stocks you pick.
- Set up an online broker account ( Scottrade, Sharebuilder, etc.) Research fees, trade limits, etc.
- Transfer money into account (Start with between $1000-5000 if available, until you get your feet wet)
- Research More! Check out ratings of companies on different financial websites. If you are sold on a company, try to find reasons it will fail. If you cannot find reasons it will fail then you may just have something.
- Start investing. Make a few trades and track them closely. If you make a few dollars, don't get excited get cautious and protect your investments with stop-loss trades.
- Monitor stocks at least twice a week, track news.
- Hold your positions. Don't profit-take unless there is something that warrants it. If negative company information is revealed, then protecting your equity by selling your stock is the right thing to do. Just be careful of selling your stock for no reason.

Now get started, have fun, and learn from your mistakes. The stock market can be overwhelming and has crippled many egos. Do your research and know why you are investing in a company before you hit the "finalize trade" button.

The challenges involving dealing on the investment market


stock trading basics by learningthemarket


Everyone is looking for opportunities to make more money and build multiple income streams to have passive income in this era of economic instability and period of job insecurity due to mass retrenchments.Hence, a lot of work from home schemes for housewives, internet marketing as well as affiliate programs become hot and popular avenues for people to seek passive income.

I believe that one of the potential business that could drive passive income is stock trading. Stock trading has the various characteristic of a flexible home business and could potentially be a lucrative business.

The few characteristic of stock trading :

(a) Flexible Work Time - Well, it is not really flexible literally although you do have much flexibility than most work. If you are a day trader, you still have to trade during the trading hours when the exchanges is open to make your income, but you do have the flexibility of working from home in this internet age where electronic trading is popular.

(b)Low Capital Investment - Most people believe that you need a lot of capital to start a trading business. However, if you delve into the details, you will find that you actually do not need a lot of capitals for trading. Trading is not investment. The primary difference is the time frame. In trading, you want to make the most percentage gain for your capital in the shortest time to limit exposure to market. Investment takes a longer time horizon to achieve the gains and generally, the investor should not be monitoring the equities on a day to day basis. The idea of investment is to let your money make money. For trading, the trader have to make money with money so considerable time and effort is needed to monitor short term trades.

Take an example :

A trader with capital of $10,000 trades to gain monthly 10% on his capital by making multiple short term trades in a month. In 12 months, the trader will have more than double his original capital.( of course, the trader must have some skill levels to maintain consistent profits.)

An investor may look at gaining 10-20% by investing $10,000 in a quality stock for 12 months and reap the returns. The investor don need to actively enter the market for profits.

(c)Low Entry Barrier - The trader need to pick up the skills of trading as well as a small capital for trading. There are many programs in the market that teach trading. The person just need to have the interest and willingness to invest time to learn trading to gain consistent and moderate returns.

Stock trading can further be divided into short, mid and long term. All three time frame require different strategy and skill levels to achieve income as well as wealth.

Stock Trading as a business is definitely not a get rich quick scheme. The person need to build up the proper skills to trade over time to deliver consistent income. But the most important of all is the right mindset to manage emotions during trading as well as the skills of risk management.
I believe that stock trading can definitely be part of a wealth strategy to deliver a stream of passive income.

Methods To Work With An Appliance Repair Company: Convenient Steps To Come Up With Your Life Easier Appliance Repair Products For Your Each and every Appliances


Appliances Repair in VA by kattyjamez


I recently had the best experience with Houston Appliance Repair and Service. Let me begin by saying that we have five children. So, when the water wouldn't drain out of our washer after my first load of about six before our five day camping trip I was in trouble. Nothing we needed was clean, and we needed to be out of the house in less than 10 hours. I was panicking and sure it was too late to call any local washer repair service. But luckily, the first number that I called was Houston Appliance Repair Service, one of the only repair services in the Houston area that operates 24 hours a day.

The gentleman that I spoke to on the phone was very friendly and patient despite the fact that I was frantic and didn't have any of the model or capacity information prepared. He walked me through a series of troubleshooting questions to make sure that my washer did not have a problem that could be easily fixed (but would cost me an arm and a leg because he had already made the trip out there), which I really appreciated.

They came to my house 45 minutes after I called them which was a relief considering the amount of work I had to get done. He went right to work when he came in, and it only took him a few minutes to verify the problem that he had guessed over the phone: my washer had a bad drive belt which was keeping the water from draining out of my washing machine.

I know nothing about dryer repair, and it sounded like it was going to be a lot of money, but I was so grateful that he had come to my rescue in such a timely fashion, I decided to just wait until I got the bill. I left him alone in the laundry room while I rushed around the house trying to get us ready for our camping trip the next day. He spent a little under a half hour, and when he was done he even cleaned up after himself which was really great.

He walked me through the steps of his repairs which I kind of tuned out during. After all, that's why I called an expert. But he was just trying to be thorough so I listened. And then it was time for the bill. I almost didn't want to look at it. To my relief, it was under $40 including parts and labor.

I will definetly call these guys again if I have any problems with any major appliance in my home. Their website (www.houstonappliancerepair.net) includes helpful tips on buying appliances and safety guys. And you can't beat their customer service. A+ job!
