Basic Stock Q&A
|
| Q. |
What is a Stop Order? |
| A. |
A stop order is an order to buy or sell a stock once the price of the stock reaches a specified price, known as the stop price. When the specified price is reached, your stop order becomes a market order.
|
| Q. |
What is a Stop Limit Order? |
| A. |
A stop-limit order is an order to buy or sell a stock that combines the features of a stop order and a limit order. Once the stop price is reached, the stop-limit order becomes a limit order to buy or to sell at a specified price.
|
| Q. |
What is a Limit Order? |
| A. |
To avoid buying or selling a stock at a price higher or lower than you wanted, you need to place a limit order rather than a market order. A limit order is an order to buy or sell a security at a specific price. A buy limit order can only be executed at the limit price or lower, and a sell limit order can only be executed at the limit price or higher. When you place a market order, you can't control the price at which your order will be filled.
- Buy limit orders - orders will execute only if the market reaches the specified price or lower.
- Sell limit orders - orders will execute only if the market reaches the specified price or higher.
|
| Q. |
What is does the Price-to-Earnings Ratio (P/E) mean? |
| A. |
The price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) is the relationship between a company's earnings and its share price, and is calculated by dividing the current price per share by the earnings per share. A stock's P/E, also known as its multiple, gives you a sense of what you are paying for a stock in relation to its earning power. For example, a stock with a P/E of 25 is trading at a price 25 times higher than its earnings, while one with a P/E of 10 is trading at 10 times its earnings.
|
| Q. |
What is a Market Order? |
| A. |
A market order is an order to buy or sell a stock at the current market price. Unless you specify otherwise, your broker will enter your order as a market order.
The advantage of a market order is you are almost always guaranteed your order will be executed (as long as there are willing buyers and sellers).
|
| Q. |
What is Selling Short? |
| A. |
Sell short orders are transactions in which an investor sells borrowed securities in anticipation of a price decline. The primary use of short selling is to allow investors to yield financial gain if a particular stock price should fall. Selling short carries with it an obligation to buy the shares back in the future. Selling short may be done only in margin accounts and must meet specific equity requirements. Finally, short sell proceeds cannot be used to buy additional stock.
|
| Q. |
What is a Stock Split? |
| A. |
Companies often split shares of their stock to try to make them more affordable to individual investors. Unlike an issuance of new shares, a stock split does not dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders. When a company declares a stock split, its share price will decrease, but a shareholder’s total market value will remain the same. For example, if you own 100 shares of a company that trade at $100 per share and the company declares a two for one stock split, you will own a total of 200 shares at $50 per share immediately after the split.
