Talk:Stock basics

Just throwing some stuff down to get this one started but not very adept with wiki formatting yet. Any help is greatly appreciated. (NYCPete)


 * Peter, way to go getting this one started! Ken Schwartz 19:55, 25 May 2008 (EDT)

Addded info for the subheadings Nation, Sector, and Size. Will get to Valuation later on today or tomorrow. NYCPete 08:39, 26 May 2008 (EDT)


 * Peter, you've made excellent additions. Ken Schwartz 10:42, 26 May 2008 (EDT)

Sector reference:
You may want to reference the most widely cited sector system, the GICS system, a joint enterprise of S&P and MSCI   rather than Morningstar, (I will edit this in), :

Added more to classification sections
I added more to the nation section and started the valuation section. I changed "valuation" to "style" to flow better with the basic ways to classify stocks, as I thought growth vs. value was what was intended. I think there could be more explanation on the metrics used to classify growth vs. value (price-to-book ratio relative to market?), but I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for in the books I have on hand. Someone more numbers oriented should feel free to jump in. NYCPete 22:56, 27 May 2008 (EDT)
