Key Pieces Of Google Stock Price

By Small Cap Trader On July 31, 2009 NO COMMENTS

Google stock price started out at an initial public offering of just $85 per share in August of 2004. At the time analysts debated whether or not the company was worth it.

So much of Google’s value was intellectual property as opposed to real property and the market was not used to the idea that internet companies could be so valuable.

Long story short, there is absolutely no reason to debate about this anymore, since Google stock price is 5 times its initial value and 5 years later the company has the market value of $175 billion dollars.

The initial climb was the most impressive as the Google stock price rose to over $100 in the first day, and then doubled within the next three months.

Analysts still debate the value of the company but it is more a matter of how much more it will grow and how quickly. Many investors in the Australian

Learn Share Trading: Top Dog Trading Review

By Small Cap Trader On May 28, 2009 NO COMMENTS

Query ‘Technical Analysis’ on the internet and you will be swamped with choices, but after much digging and researching I uncovered Top Dog Trading.

On starting my foray into trading Share markets, I always knew that fundamental analysis was out of the question, but reading share charts was what I preferred.

What helped my decision to take the Top Dog Trading course to learn Share trading?…. A number of things besides the absolute necessity to trade better and to halt my run of losing trades; was that I understood what Dr Barry Burns was saying on his website and a significant amount of the teaching is reinforced on the detailed videos which makes it much easier to understand and see what he is saying. A further qualifier was Barry’s CV; it is impressive, a business man who trades professionally, he is also a accomplished speaker and writer.

By Small Cap Trader On May 28, 2009 NO COMMENTS

Now more than ever in the markets, computers are taking over.  There are trade algorithms to execute orders for funds, scalp pennies 1000s of times a day, and even algo's that are designed to trip up other algo's by exploiting weaknesses in the way they work.  There are hundreds of companies that have created sophisticated charting packages to help day traders find ideas, including day trading robots.  All of this points to the same thing:  computers are here to stay, its up to you as a day trader to figure out how to get the best tools to find ideas to make money.

This does not mean throw thousands of dollars at every "hot" product - this usually does nothing to generate anything useful.Additionally, each day trader can only focus on so many things at the same time, you do not need overload as that can actually backfire and make it
