Salazar asked:


Hey, I’m an active trader/investor.

Only knowledgeable, active, and successful traders please

I want you guys to share the following info with me:

1- Name me some economic sectors that you think will have a huge growth in the next 2-10+ years. I am already into Solar energy, so discard that one. preferably sectors that already have companies moving from a completely R&D stage to positive and exponentially growing earnings.

2 -Name me your stock pics for those said sectors, and if possible, provide a brief justification as to why you’re choosing that company over some other one in the same sector. You may want to provide URL’s to articles supporting that bet (preferably, no commercial newsletter stuff, cause they are paid to publicize certain secutirites, regardless of any intrinsic value.

Cheers and best wishes

Why should a change in their stock price affect a company ?

an old Priestess asked:


If I understand it correctly, a company issues stock and
sells it to raise capitol. Once they have sold the stock to
the public, and been paid for it, why should any changes
to the price of the stock matter to them anymore ?

In other words, how could it harm a company if people
sell off the stock and the value of it declines a lot ?

What’s the difference between “restricted stock” and “stock options” from accounting perspective?

Thursday, February 18th, 2010
qpot asked:


A quick search on “stock options” shows that many companies are switching from “stock options” to “restricted stocks” as an employee compansation vechicle.

Below is what I learned from my research. It could be wrong though.

The sales of “stock options” are usually reported as loss. It reduces the company’s tax liability, but also adversely affects the company’s profit. From 2006, most companies are required to disclose the impact of the “stock options” sales to the public.

My questions,

When a company issues “restricted stocks” and the employee sells them, is the proceeding counted as “loss” like “stock options”?

Why companies don’t switch until recently? Does it have anything do to with the new SEC reporting requirement?

Thanks,
