Yhoo Combo The first two rows below define a Continuous Interest Equation for Market Price (3rd row).

This converts chart information to an equivalent bond.

Trend , The fourth and fifth rows convert dividends to another Continuous Interest Equation.

This and re-investment come from earnings and should grow at the same rate as price.

Yield The sixth and seventh rows give a third Continuous Interest Equation.

Earnings should grow at the same rate as price and dividends.

Its price is used for P/E and Yield.

Green line is 2yr of return below top and above bott.

yrs Return       If Green line is above entry, that is an advantage (gain).

Purchasing above green line may result in a drop later.

?   This also calculates "bond" growth rate.

Its %/yr value has to be added to yield to get total return.

 ROR:%/yr.   

?   A bond's Principal does not grow, but it yields interest.

The payout for a stock is a dividend, and its value grows too.

   Yield: %/yr. This is the percentage of earnings for shareholder dividends.

It is also the fraction of the Earnings Yield below.

   Payout: %
? For steady P/E, this should be the same as chart %/yr above.

(For Yahoo charts; StockCharts include dividends.)

 ROR:%/yr.    

?   If the P/E "Multiple" expands, the price might soon crash.

However, low interest rates permit expension.

 P/E: ? The yield above is paid in cash to shareholders.

This reduces earnings available to grow the business.

 Earnings Yield:%/yr.

The Basics - Doubling Time
supplies the Continuous Interest formula A = Pert. Later it will appear on charts as straight lines, but for now let's think of it as just another calculator. Plugging in You will pick this off graphs as a slope measurment.

r(ate), t estimated years until retirement. (ime) and P For example your RRSP room on tax returns. (rincipal) below puts stocks and bonds on the same footing for when you retire:

DOUBLING-TIME EXERCISE: E.g. ten k invested in an ETF called HAC.TO and just held returning 7%/yr would grow to 20k in ten years.

  • Try rates like %/yr with

  • retirement in years after

  • setting aside $k now.

    Result A = $k.

    		•  The top box ETF is for overall Interest or dividend per year, plus any growth.

    Express it as % of amount invested.

    return     of an investment. Try an Measured by this program as the %/yr slope of a StockCharts chart.

    "interest rate"     of Bonds have zero growth rate, yielding only interest.

    Stocks' growth acts like interest, returning more than purchase price.

    10%/yr    ; available right now from banks.

    Try an aggressive rate of 20%/yr; available for now from an ETF holding Amazon, Google etc.

    Here is the pattern you will find:
    Divide the %/yr growth rate into 70 and you get doubling time.

    Caveat: the above numbers do not take into account the effect of inflation:
