I have an active interest in AIM oil and gas companies.
Currently doing some research into companies that are going to start drilling in unexplored areas within the next 6 months. This is because the share price usually rises when drilling begins because of the potential discovery.
I am still very much a newbie in trading and research.
Would appreciate any tips or books to read.

Re: Stock market
well, why not buying BP stocks?
I mean, even if they would go bankrupt because of the reparation payments the company will be bought by another one of the big players. in the short run it is highly speculative, but in midterm surely a winner.

They will sell rights to certain lands first no fucking chance they will go bankrupt XD give it 2 years and their stock is probably at the same level as it was before the incident.bad_brain wrote:well, why not buying BP stocks?

If anyone is interested in money and its history and how it impacts society then watch this documentary.

Re: Stock market
I went for a week in the "City" was a real insight into the world of overpaid not so smart hedge fund managers.
Bloomberg is a cool price of software thou with its custom keyboard and the ability to import data into excel.
Anyways i started to learn C++ this week so made a console-app that works out market cap.
I am using VS 2010 to compile the code. Reading Practical C++ Programming 2nd Edition.
Anyone else learning C++ at the moment or just starting out like me?

Code: Select all
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
float shareprice; // currenct shareprice
float sharenum; // number of shares
float marketcap; // marketcap
int main()
{
cout << "Enter Share Price(p):";
cin >> shareprice;
cout << "Enter Number of Shares(Million):";
cin >> sharenum;
marketcap = (shareprice/100) * (sharenum * 100) ; // /100 to convert p to pounds, sharenum *100 to get decimal in right place
cout << "The market cap is: " << marketcap <<" Million" << '\n';
system("pause>nul");
return (0);
}

Re: Stock market
You're multiplying and dividing the same number with 100. 100/100 = 1, so you could just skip both. If you did it for clarity, a comment would've been more fit. Note that the compiler optimizes it away anyway, but it's good practice to not write dead code, I suppose
