Stocks: How do stocks with dividends grow compared to stocks without?

stocks
Kevin S asked:


I’m looking for a link to such studies here, so hopefully I can save time from doing my own studies. Basically, I’m looking for edges in the market, and even if dividend stocks grow at the same rate as non-dividend stocks, and dividends are a percent, than I will have a percent plus compounding on that percent every year. May not be much, but every edge counts. Please note that only statistics and studies will help me here. Thanks!

1. what is the difference between common stocks and preferred stocks?

The story on cheap stocks-Is there money to be made? How much does one need to know?

stocks
natan asked:


I am thinking about buying up some cheap stocks-like in the $2-20 ea bracket. Has anyone that is “new” to stocks and the market made any money this way? How much of a time investment would it be to learn the ins and outs and keep an eye on the markets? Some say we(the us) is going into a mild recession of sorts-it seems so. Would you suggest informed investing in some cheap stocks right now?

Ash asked:


I am playing a stock market game at school and I would like to know some stocks that will make me good profits in a short period of time. I have about six weeks left and $100,000 of pretend money. So far I bought BIDU and SIRI and have made nice profits from BIDU. I recently bought SIRI because of the possible merge with XM. Thank you.

I just started trading Forex pairs and I need to be able to collect price data for the last 10 time periods (hours, days or weeks) so that I can input this information into my trading platform to give me an idea on where the price of the currency pair will move next.

Can anyone tell me how to get this info into my yahoo finance page so that it updates with the movement of the currency pairs?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!

5 Ways To Protect Your Bond Portfolio From Rising Interest Rates

The Federal Reserve recently raised its target federal funds rate for the first time since March 2000. This could be just the tip of the iceberg, though, as many experts believe rising inflation and a strengthening economy will spur continued rate hikes for the foreseeable future.

This is bad news for bond investors, since bonds lose value as interest rates rise. The reason stems from the fact coupon rates for most bonds are fixed when the bonds are issued. So, as rates rise and new bonds with higher coupon rates become available, investors are willing to pay less for existing bonds with lower coupon rates. Continue Reading »

Kelly Criterion for Stock Trading Size

I’m sure some people know about Efficient Frontier, but I’m guessing that there are less investors that know about Kelly Criterion. So what is Kelly Criterion and who is Kelly?

However, behind all the maths, there lies an astonishing result: by placing bet amounts according to Kelly Criterion (originally applied to horse-race gambling), one can maximize the returns in the long term. Here is the betting formula which has been tailored to stock trading: Continue Reading »
