what exactly does this mean ” book value”? And what is a reason for the stocks being sold for this lower price? Does everyone pay the same price for it, is book value the same as market value?

I want to invest in stocks of an Australian company on-line but I’m not sure if you can do this with a US stock broker. I’m also not an Australian citizen.

I am looking to invest long-term (20+ years) and this is my first time buying stocks. I have a medium to high risk tolerance. I will be initially investing $2500. The goal is growth for retirement fund.
Wondering how many different stocks to buy with my $2500.
Also, what would you say are good markets/industries to buy into now for maximum growth over the next 20 years?
I already have mutual funds… so I’m hoping to get into something with more potential payback (realizing the added risk also).

I’m looking for stocks that pay a dividend in excess of 15% (I’ve had them as high as 24%, so I know they exist). Of course, I want this dividend to be paid from profit, instead of the business taking out a loan for it.

I am NOT INTERESTED in buying a stock with the intention of selling it. My interest is income. I want to buy the stock, and be able to retire on the dividends… with enough shares, that is.

Got any ideas?
