for example.stock markets in us close at 1 pm. yet when i go on yahoo finance and check the real time ecn. a lot of times the stock prices keep on fluctuating. why is that?
Many trades have yet to be accounted at the close so some last price quotes change as they tabulate everything. After hours trading is also done. I can trade after hours from 4:30pm (EST) till 8:00pm. I can trade early the next morning as well. ( I have an account with Scottrade) Trading after hours has less liquidity (less buyers and sellers)

I am doing a report where I need to find the year end average stock price for the last 3 complete years for Southwest Airlines, and none of the stock websites like nyse, nasdaq, give information in that much detail.
Does anyone know where I can find that information?
I also need the earnings per share or net income, and the profitability in the last 3 years relative to its competitors.
Yahoo finance will give you historical prices. LUV’s 12/31 closing prices were 2007: $12.19, 2006: $15.28, 2005: $16.37
Morningstar will give you historical EPS and profit margins over the past three years.
2007: 0.84; 10.7%
2006: 0.61; 8.7%
2005: 0.67; 11.5%
These are diluted EPS numbers; and Profit Margins before taxes.
I do not know LUV’s competitors, maybe HATE? Envy, and Greed?

Get Prepared For A Completely Fresh Way Of Looking At Your Investments. Stop Worrying About The Economy And The So-called Recession Because This ‘underground’ Trader Is About To Tell You How…

I know that stock prices are determined by supply and demand, but what does the price on the news ticker mean? Is that the price at which is was last traded?
That is the current price of the stock. But when you go to trade your broker will have an ‘offer price’ (what you buy at) and ‘bid price’ (what you sell at). So if stock price is 200p the ‘offer price’ may be 202p and ‘bid price’ 198p. The spread varies, th spread is how the brokers make money.
i was wondering is there a place where you can check the cost of stocks however without signing up for something. because etrade requires to sign up first, and i couldn’t find another place, they just said if it was up or down. i feel dumb asking but i was curious.

A report that Chinese state-owned companies will be allowed to walk away from loss-making commodity derivative trades provoked anger and dismay among investment bankers on Monday as they feared it may set a damaging precedent.
The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, the regulator and nominal shareholder for state-owned enterprises (SOEs), told six foreign banks that SOEs reserved the right to default on contracts, Caijing magazine quoted an unnamed industry source as saying in an article published on Saturday.
While the details of the report could not be confirmed, it was Monday’s hot topic in financial circles from Shanghai to Singapore as commodity marketers feared that companies holding underwater price hedges could simply renege on the deals, costing banks millions of dollars in profit.
The warning from SASAC follows a series of measures from Beijing this year to crack down on the sale of derivative products by foreign banks to Chinese enterprises, principally big consumers, who bought protection against higher prices last year only to watch the market collapse — leaving them with losses.
While many companies including top airlines have come clean on the losses, some analysts fear another wave may follow.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if more state firms emerge with big derivatives trading losses, otherwise SASAC wouldn’t come out with such a radical move,” said a Hong Kong-based derivatives analyst, who like most other industry officials and bankers declined to be named due to the high sensitivity of the issue.
A SASAC media official said on Monday that he was waiting for the “relevant department’s” official comment before he can clarify to media. A government official said that the Bureau of Financial Supervision and Evaluation under SASAC was handling the issue. The official declined to be named and did not elaborate.
Spokespersons at Goldman Sachs and UBS declined comment, and media officials at Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan were not immediately available for comment. All are major global providers of commodity risk management.
No bank were named in the Caijing report. The SASAC media officer also declined to identify any specific banks.
“It’s a handful of companies who are being encouraged by regulators to re-negotiate,” said a second banking source. “It’s outrageous, but it’s China, so everyone is treading very carefully.”
For banks that are hoping to sell more derivatives hedges in China, the world’s fastest-expanding major economy and top commodities consumer, the danger goes beyond the immediate risk to existing contracts to the longer-term precedent that suggests Chinese companies can simply renege on deals when they like.
The report follows an order from SASAC in July that required all central government-controlled state companies engaged in trading derivatives to make quarterly reports about their investments, including details of holdings and performance.
But the reported letter opened several important questions that could not immediately be answered. “If we were among the banks receiving that letter, we would be very angry. But now the key is to find out more details on the letter: In whose name the letter was issued, the government or the corporate’s? And under what was the reason for defaulting?” said a Singapore-based marketing executive with a foreign bank.
The source, whose bank did not receive a letter, said that Air China, China Eastern and shipping giant COSCO – among the Chinese companies that have reported huge derivatives losses since last year – had issued almost identical notices to banks.
“If it’s in the name of the government, the impact will be very negative,” said the source, who declined to be named.
Beijing-based derivatives lawyers said the so-called “legal letter” has no legal standing — SASAC as a shareholder has no business relationship with international banks.
“It’s like the father suddenly told the creditors of his debt-ridden son that his son won’t pay any of his debt,” said a lawyer from the derivatives risks committee of the Beijing Lawyers Association. (C ) Reuters

Best place to discuss Reinhardt is either wiredpirate.com or www.godlikeproductions.com. I suggest you stay away from his actual site for a bit Peace
(If you’re looking for reinhardt background, a lot of his pages are in google cache – search for reinhardts journal ( MONTH DATE )
He has publicly declared Feb 9 and Feb 13 as the dates of the next financial ‘Event’.
He’s big on cryptic posts
He also warned about dodgy items on Citigroups official balance sheets…

Last week’s page suggests UBS is in trouble. The YouTube videos had an explanation of synthetic CDOs and a clip from War Games. Done now, sorry i didn’t grab it – maybe someone else did?
Article on synthetic CDOs:
http://www.businessspectator.com.au/bs.nsf/Article/A-tsunami-of-hope-or-terror-LHRJP?OpenDocument
Synthetic CDO’s are complex little known financial instruments (insurance contracts) that are on the brink of triggering “the most colossal rights issue in the history of the world, all at once .. mandatory.”
The triggering of default on the trillions of synthetic CDOs could be a disaster that tips the world from recession into depression. Nobody knows, but it wont be a small event.
They [synthetic CDOs] have a variety of twists and turns, but it usually goes something like this:
if seven of the 100 reference entities default, the SPV has to pay the bank a third of the money;
if eight default, its two-thirds;
and if nine default, the whole amount is repayable.
Now, reinhardts predictions are around the banks. Guess which ones are listed in most of the synthetic CDO?
the three Icelandic banks,
Lehman Brothers,
Bear Stearns,
Freddie Mac,
Fannie Mae,
American Insurance Group,
Ambac,
MBIA,
Countrywide Financial,
Countrywide Home Loans,
PMI,
WashingtonMutual
General Motors,
Ford
a lot of US home builders
Six have gone already, if 1 more goes, it starts.
If 2 or 3 go down – then we are in an entirely new world of pain.
It will take out a lot of investors. Municipalities, Companies, Charities, Contries and Investors and some smaller banks. Money will simply vanish from their accounts.
Straight back to the banks.
