Just a glimpse of stocks!


ဒီေန. ေက်ာင္းမွာ stock ေတြအေႀကာင္းနည္းနည္းေျပာေတာ. စိတ္၀င္စားမိတာနဲ.
ေလွ်ာက္ google လုပ္ထားမိတဲ. အေႀကာင္းအ၇ာေလးေတြပါ။Wiki တငိမဟုတ္ဘူး...ဒီ website
ေလးလဲ ေတာ္ေတာ္ စံုစံုလင္လင္ေ၇းထားတာေတြ.၇ပါတယ္.


Blue Chips
A nationally recognized, well-established and financially sound company. Blue chips generally sell high-quality, widely accepted products and services. Blue-chip companies are known to weather downturns and operate profitably in the face of adverse economic conditions, which helps to contribute to their long record of stable and reliable growth.
The name "blue chip" came about because in the game of poker the blue chips have the highest value.
Blue-chip stock is seen as a less volatile investment than owning shares in companies without blue-chip status because blue chips have an institutional status in the economy. The stock price of a blue chip usually closely follows the S&P 500.

Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA)

The Dow Jones Industrial Average is a price-weighted average of 30 significant stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq. The DJIA was invented by Charles Dow back in 1896.
Often referred to as "the Dow", the DJIA is the oldest and single most watched index in the world. The DJIA includes companies like General Electric, Disney, Exxon and Microsoft.
When the TV networks say "the market is up today", they are generally referring to the Dow.

Market Capitalization
The total dollar market value of all of a company's outstanding shares. Market capitalization is calculated by multiplying a company's shares outstanding by the current market price of one share. The investment community uses this figure to determining a company's size, as opposed to sales or total asset figures.
Frequently referred to as "market cap".
If a company has 35 million shares outstanding, each with a market value of $100, the company's market capitalization is $3.5 billion (35,000,000 x $100 per share).
Company size is a basic determinant of asset allocation and risk-return parameters for stocks and stock mutual funds. The term should not be confused with a company's "capitalization," which is a financial statement term that refers to the sum of a company's shareholders' equity plus long-term debt.
The stocks of large, medium and small companies are referred to as large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap, respectively. Investment professionals differ on their exact definitions, but the current approximate categories of market capitalization are:

Mega Cap:greater than $200 billion.
Large Cap: $10 billion plus
Mid Cap: $2 billion to $10 billion
Small Cap: Less than $2 billion
Nano Cap:below $50 million.
