To rap up our Stepping Up Your Financial Swag: Understanding Stocks Tutorial, we will look at how to actually read a stock table/Quote, check it out:
Any financial paper has stock quotes that will look something like this:
Columns 1 & 2: 52-Week High and Low – These are the highest and lowest prices at which a stock has traded over the previous 52 weeks (one year). This typically does not include the previous day’s trading.
Column 3: Company Name & Type of Stock – This column lists the name of the company. If there are no special symbols or letters following the name, it is common stock. Different symbols imply different classes of shares. For example, “pf” means the shares are preferred stock.
Column 4: Ticker Symbol - This is the unique alphabetic name which identifies the stock. If you watch financial TV, you have seen the ticker tape move across the screen, quoting the latest prices alongside this symbol. If you are looking for stock quotes online, you always search for a company by the ticker symbol. If you don’t know what a particular company’s ticker is you can search for it at: http://finance.yahoo.com/l.
Column 5: Dividend Per Share – This indicates the annual dividend payment per share. If this space is blank, the company does not currently pay out dividends.

The movie – which is being directed by ‘Training Day’ filmmaker Antoine Fuqua – will be written by Stephen J. Rivele and Chris Wilkinson, who both were involved in the screenplay for 2001 sports biography ‘Ali’.
According to New York Magazine’s Vulture blog, the movie – which does not yet have an actor to portray Tupac attached – could begin shooting in mid-November ahead of an expected 2011 release.
Talking about the project, Rivele admitted he knew little about the rapper – who was killed in a drive-by shooting in 1996 – until he began to research.
He said: “I knew nothing about Shakur. But it became clear he was essentially a 19th century Romantic poet who found himself in the 21st century.
“He was obviously very angry, and had been subjected to a great deal of violence in the home, in the streets and in prison. But he was just beginning to shed that anger and look for a purer voice.”
Wilkinson confirmed the script would focus on the last day of his life, with flashbacks to his final four years.

Dividend:
What Does Dividend Mean?
1. A distribution of a portion of a company’s earnings, decided by the board of directors, to a class of its shareholders. The dividend is most often quoted in terms of the dollar amount each share receives (dividends per share). It can also be quoted in terms of a percent of the current market price, referred to as dividend yield.
Also referred to as “Dividend Per Share (DPS).”
2. Mandatory distributions of income and realized capital gains made to mutual fund investors.
Explaining Dividend:
Dividends may be in the form of cash, stock or property. Most secure and stable companies offer dividends to their stockholders. Their share prices might not move much, but the dividend attempts to make up for this. High-growth companies rarely offer dividends because all of their profits are reinvested to help sustain higher-than-average growth.
Dividend Yield:
What Does Dividend Yield Mean?
A financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment for a stock. Dividend yield is calculated as follows:
