Cause I needed to know

Remember back in high school math? The teacher would be droning on about a certain equation and you would sit there thinking why am I studying this? I will never need this in the real world. HA! I just had a flashback. Wish I would have paid attention.

Navigating the Financial Pages

Understand General Information about Stock Listings

  • 52-Wk Rng. 52-week range—the highest and lowest stock prices over the last year. If there is a very wide range, it might indicate that the company operates in a volatile sector. Like many financial measures, these figures are most meaningful when used alongside other indicators.
  • P/E. Price/earnings ratio—the market price of a stock divided by its earnings per share over the last 12 months. Together with yield, this is the measure most widely used by investors; usually, both indicators will be quoted in financial listings alongside the stock price.
  • Yield %. The annual dividend paid to investors, expressed as a percentage of its current price.
