The S&P index slid 0.2% to 1,050.06. Market Pulse …

What is the correlation (or connection) of the Japanese YEN and NASDAQ?

I am a new investor. Some of the investment messageboards (in light of the recent Wall Street crisis) suggest that when the Yen goes down in value-the NASDAQ moves up. And the other way around. Is this true? ONLY EXPERIENCED INVESTORS PLEASE RESPOND! Thanks

I think something in the stock market might be the career for me. I’m 25 and have a degree in healthcare business. The only thing I question my ability at is making phone sales.

How did buyers determine the price to pay for CFC after they were told BAC was interested in buying it?

I noticed a 60% rise in share price today with no solid news on what BAC was willing to pay for the CFC company! CFC is valued at a Market Cap of 4.8 billion. So, 60% would be about 3 Billion and that is more than BAC owns of CFC by 1 Billion or a 20% premium. How did the investors know what to pay for CFC stock on this news?

Dow Jones Index

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSE: DJI, also called the DJIA, Dow 30, INDP, or informally the Dow Jones or The Dow) is one of several stock market indices, created by nineteenth-century Wall Street Journal editor and Dow Jones & Company co-founder Charles Dow. It is an index that shows how certain stocks have traded. Dow compiled the index to gauge the performance of the industrial sector of the American stock market. It is the second-oldest U.S. market index, after the Dow Jones Transportation Average, which Dow also created. The average is computed from the stock prices of 30 of the largest and most widely held public companies in the United States. The "industrial" portion of the name is largely historical—many of the 30 modern components have little to do with traditional heavy industry. The average is price-weighted. To compensate for the effects of stock splits and other adjustments, it is currently a scaled average, not the actual average of the prices of its component stocks—the sum of the component prices is divided by a divisor, which changes whenever one of the component stocks has a stock split or stock dividend, to generate the value of the index. Since the divisor is currently less than one, the value of the index is higher than the sum of the component prices.
