What causes stock prices to move dramatically during TRADING HOURS?Earning reports and conference calls usually happen outside of trading hours. What are the catalysts that create volatility during the trading hours? Ans:Right now there are many things that cause volatility. The whole Europe debt crisis is the main one that comes to mind, but I also believe that uncertainty about the economy as a whole also plays a large role.
Talking about earnings reports, Expectation and perception are two of the biggest influences of stock valuations. If more people are selling than buying then the stock price will go down, simple supply and demand. If however something called the "whisper number" is not sufficient enough for investors to highly value the company then that could cause the...

Can a movie that does well in the box office increase a stock?If a movie makes upward of $500k in box office, or has a huge opening weekend, will the production company's stock increase?
if so, how soon after it comes out?

Why do people buy stocks which don't pay dividends?
Why do people buy stocks which don't pay dividends?
What's in it for me if I buy a stock which pays no dividend?
I own a piece of the company fine, but what does that do for me if I don't get a share of their profit?!
Ans:When a company has cash earnings, it has two choices about what to do with those earnings. They can pay them out as dividends or they can reinvest them back into the business.

This is compounding.

That means that...

How is this extra funding shown which actually enhances the cashflow but is an investment like the Year 0 one which is a minus figure ? Is the additional money poured in negative (from the investor's viewpoint) or is it positive (from the cashflow viewpoint).
Ans:
Generally, the additional capital is considered to finance the negative CF of that period - i.e. the negative amount that gives rise to the need to raise (and contribute...
