The simple answer is – it can't. You've heard of the global economy. Well there is also a global stock market. What affects the largest stock market (and economy) in the world, also affects other stock markets. But when the u.s. market goes up, it likely also helps the S Korean market.
I recall in the 90's, the Korean economy had a meltdown. This affected other asian economies & took down asian markets. The u.s. market also went down in sympathy with other markets.
It would be nice if political events & economic events (in other parts of the world) did not affect one's local market. But in truth, it just doesn't work that way.
There's a lot to know, but you've hit on a few of the basic.
"$ Last Trade" is the price at which the last trade was made. A trade being someone selling stock to someone else. It's basically the "going price" of a share of stock.
Volume is the number of shares that traded hands during the day.
Change (%, and $) is the change between yesterday's closing price and the current price ($ Last Trade). I'm not sure if your "-" is a dash or a negative sign. Below, I've assumed it's a negative sign. If it's a dash, then change my "loss" to "gain."
In this case, the current price is $27.87. When the market closed last night, the price was $27.87 + $0.12 or $27.99.
If you bought at the closing price ($27.99) and then sold right now ($27.87), you'd have lost 12 cents per share. If you had 100 shares, you'd have lost $12 plus commissions paid to your broker.
Keep in mind that "last trade" is not necessarily the price you'll get for buying or selling. Price fluctuates (more so on certain stocks than others). Plus, the information is usually at least 20 minutes old.
You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
whoa!!it looks like a PICTURE!
ur an amazing painter!:D
Those who made millions had good luck. There are just as many who lost their shirts.
Incredible! He looks so life like. Just amazing…and what a beautiful subject
There certainly is reason to believe that stocks might get cheaper still. America is not so stable as you might have imagined. It is fueled by debt. Now that debt has become shall we say unstable, the fuel supply might be facing an interruption. This might just be the beginning. On the plus side most corporations are fairly healthy and stock valuations are not out of line with reality. But none of that will really matter all that much if people stop spending, which there are indications that they are.
You won't save any taxes as the profits will pass directly to your tax return in the same manner as they would if you recorded them direcly on Schedule D. In fact, they WILL go on Schedule D after they pass through the S-Corp.
Income or loss in an S-Corp passes directly to your individual income tax return in the same characterization as it would have if the S-Corp did not exist. Capital gains within the S-Corp would be computed on Form 1120-S Schedule D and then flow to the shareholders via Schedule K-1 on lines 7 and 8a – 8c. Those amounts would then pass to the appropriate lines on Form 1040 Schedule D.
ST gains are taxed at your marginal rate. The highest marginal rate is 35% and you'd be making a LOT of money for it to hit that level. There's no way that it would ever hit 40% even if you were in AMT territory.
Of course, I would ask the standard question here: Why have you formed an S-Corp for such a low risk type of business? There is no tax benefit for doing so and you only significantly complicate your tax filing requirements and costs. On top of that, most states treat an S-Corp like any other corporation; you have to file state corporate tax returns and pay state corporate taxes including any minimum state franchise fee regardless of any profit or loss in the business.
While a corporation does isolate your personal assets from claims against the business, this is NOT absolute protection. Any personal liability that accrues to you based upon your business actions leaves your personal assets wide open. Most small businesses would be much better served by purchasing a good general liability insurance policy to protect ALL of their assets, both business and personal. It will often be cheaper in the long run and much less complicated.
It's purely psychological. The "housing market" is really the "real estate" market which accounts for a lot of money. There is also a lot of related industries which is affected if the real estate market goes down. First is the home builders or construction industry (contractors), then there is the materials suppliers, then the mortgage industry which makes loans to buyers and then there's the real estate agents, title companies, escrow companies, home insurance companies, furniture companies – all their jobs hang on how well the housing market is doing. They were in fear for the past 2 years when the housing or real estate market peaked and began sliding down. Investors in the stock market finally decided that there is too much fear and decided to sell their stocks. Selling causes the stock market to drop.
Nice work, you did pretty good.
Excellent work. Pleasure to watch. Perfect music

Basically it comes down to this:
1. Banks loaned money or gave credit to so-called 'high risk' people who were less likely to pay their debts, hoping that they would run into difficulty and be forced to pay a higher interest rate on the loans and increase the profitability of the loan.
2. Instead of being able to pay when the interest rates increased, lots of these people were unable to continue to pay the higher interest payments, so they defaulted on their loans and were forced into bankruptcy.
3. The banks, who expected customers to keep paying the high interest, were faced with credit cards and loans that were losing money due to huge amounts of bankruptcy.
4. The banks had no money to loan to home buyers.
5. As businesses get into deeper credit trouble, they start laying people off in an attempt to cut costs. As they lose money, the stock market, which is basically a betting shop based on confidence in businesses, is filled with people selling their stock.
6. As the stock prices go down, the companies are perceived as being worth less. That means they will not be able to get loans as easily. In order to stop this, a company may lay off even more people in an effort to appear more profitable.
The result – people and businesses owe more interest than they can pay, businesses go under, the housing market collapses, banks go under, the stock market crashes, unemployment goes through the roof creating a vicious circle (i.e. even more people defaulting on credit and loans) that could have (and still could) result in a 1929-style crash.
No, the P/E ratio didn't really collapse – but profits collapsed as well. See http://www.econ.yale.edu/~shiller/data/stock%20data%20annual%201871-2003.htm for historical data.
