This is from a website about the stock market crash of 1929:
"For every dollar invested, a margin user would borrow 9 dollars worth of stock. Because of this leverage, if a stock went up 1%, the investor would make 10%! "
I don't understand how the 10% profit was made.
How WAS the 10% profit made?
Please help! Thanks!
Spot price is the price of the currency in that exact point in time. So if you put through a market order, your order will be executed at or around that price (if the number moves between you seeing it and you pressing the order button).
Limit price is if you are going to place limit orders. That is the maximum (if long) or minimum (if short) price you will accept to order.
Good luck mate!
Why do most stock market investors think Obama is bad for the economy?
Do Liberals not own any stocks or do they think that is something only the evil rich Republicans do?
For example: What if I invested $10,000 in a total stock market fund or an individual stock on 10-1-2008. How much would I have today?
What if we already have stable jobs, how would the stock market drop affect us? Would there be less jobs out there if you are looking? Just curious since it's a huge thing going on right now, but if u dont currently invest in the market, how does it affect us?
Mr. Buffet does not pick the BEST stock every time, in fact, he has had many loosers but like all investors/traders, he had more winners than loosers.
