A Wall Street Week Of Biblical Proportions

<< < (2/3) > >>

Stevernator:
The money goes to business expenses. Corporations depend on profitable sales and growth to continue. To raise capital for their operations, they sell shares of ownership and sell bonds and take loans from banks. If the company's operations are not profitable (perhaps due to declining sales or increasing costs), it still must pay the banks and bondholders for the debt and must pay off other business expenses. So when other investors see that their potential for receiving capital gains and dividends is decreased, they are not willing to pay as much for your ownership in the corporation.

The prices of stocks are determined by the demand of the market.

When it comes to corporate accountability and government intervention, there is significant moral hazard which can put shareholders and taxpayers at risk.

I hid 4 coffee cans full of quarters when I first moved to the farm 8 years ago, the only problem is I was inubriated ( cheap whiskey ) at the time and for the life of me I still can't remember where their burried.

Jackie Lee,
That would depend on the size of the cans. ;) If they are the small one I would say you are close, but if they were the large one I would guess close to $1,200.00. ;D  Having recently rolled 5 large coffee jars and 3 small ones of mixed change we found while cleaning up my Dad's estate we ended up with alittle over $1,000.00 dollors.

Longhorn,
I'm on my way with my metal detector. ;)

Okay Longhorn, I'm in Texas and in need of an upper body workout. Let's dig ;D

If those quarters are pre-1964, they are worth a whole lot more than face value! That's the important date for dimes & half dollars too.
