The world's stock markets have taken a hammering in 2008 with pretty much every single listed company seeing huge falls in their share price. Both large and small companies have been affected but smaller companies have been hit particularly hard and are looking really weak, so is it now worth buying shares in these companies or not? Well my own personal view is that these smaller cap companies should be avoided, at least for now. There are very few buyers out there generally, and the investors that are buying are predominantly buying shares in solid profitable companies that are most likely to survive the impending recession and be in a strong position when the economy recovers. While there are a...

What motivates a person to invest, rather than spending his money immediately? The most common answer is savings -- the desire to pass money from the present into the future. People anticipate future cash needs, and expect that their earnings in the future will not meet those needs. Another motivation is the desire to increase wealth, i.e. make money grow. Sometimes, the desire to become wealthy in the future can make you willing to take big risks. The purchase of a lottery ticket, for instance only increases the probability of becoming very wealthy, but sometimes a small chance at a big payoff, even if it costs a dollar or two, is better than none at all! When you invest, you are increasing your...

In the strict sense of the term, the prevailing share price of a company quoted in the exchange and what is going on within the company in the production, distribution and sales units are closely linked. One impacts the other and the share price needs to be the true index of the strength or weakness of the company. This is the basic rule. But this rule is rarely honored as several forces tell upon the market and they push and pull the price in different directions. Buying and selling activity is the outcome of it. Isn't it strange, on a given day, several thousands buy the same share and an unspecified numbers sell it? Do both these categories, which are in disagreement as for their decisions on the...

Most investors dream about having the skills and intuition to be able to predict the rise and fall of the market with a precision that would not only make them rich, but give them the ability to make a fortune any time they choose to make one. In plain words, investors want to be able to time the market. But history shows us that even though a few people have made huge fortunes as the result of one large market gain (the largest one-day gain in stock market history - 936 points - occurred on October 13, 2008 ), there have been hundreds, if not thousands more people who have lost their entire fortunes in the same manner. The stock market crash of 1929 is one famous example. The ongoing market...

The definitions of small cap stocks and large cap stocks do differ according to which source you go to. But with that said, we can still get a rough idea that will suffice for trading purposes. And before you trade in anything you should understand what these terms mean. The cap part of the term relates to the market capitalization relevant to that company. If you find out how many shares a company has, and multiply that by the cost of each share, this will give you its market capitalization. You can deduce then that small cap stocks point to companies that are essentially worth less than large cap stocks. But does this mean they are less efficient? The answer is a 'sitting on the fence' answer...

As I become more and more involved with the world of investing, I have noticed one thing that causes me to get a little annoyed. That one thing is how financial news is reported.

In my opinion, too much news has played upon the fears of many investors. This has turned an already risky game into an extremely volatile game. This is because to many investors simply react out of emotion instead of finding the facts out for themselves. I also think some of the professional investors on Wall Street play on the emotions of the small investors. So I do pose the...

Your first stop for hot stock picks is to the IBD 100 list that is published in every Monday edition of IBD. IBD ranks its top 100 stocks according to a variety of...

Most investors know that stocks priced under $5 are microcap stocks or penny stocks. But is that definition complete on its own? A better definition of the penny stock should include references to the market capitalization (aka market cap) of the company instead of just the price. The calculation of the market cap of a company is fairly simple. You take the number of shares that have been issued by the company and multiply it by the stock price. So, if company X has 10,000,000 shares outstanding and the price of one share of stock is $2, then the market cap = 10,000,000 X 2 = $20,000,000. Using this number you can quickly figure out the size of the company. Coming back to penny stocks. These stocks...

For the price of a night on the town you can be a player. Their greatest attraction of course is their proven...

When you hear a news anchor on TV talking about stock market new developments, they usually include terms such as the Dow Jones, or the NASDAQ, or the FTSE in their report. What do these phrases and abbreviations mean? These terms refer to stock markets or stock exchanges where a company is listed.
