Basically there is a difference between expected or forward dividend yield and trailing dividend yield because when one invests in stocks,the past does not necessarily equal the future. Expected dividend yield measures next year's expected dividends as a percentage of a stock's current price, using the last year dividend payout whereas the trailing yield uses the present year dividend as there is no guesswork about trailing yield for the dividend is already out so one can know the yield. The expected or forward yield shows the annual percent return one can expect to earn from dividends if the company keeps up its payouts. To calculate expected dividend yield we use the formula:  EDY = forward annual dividend rate/stock's price * 100 For example, let us assume stock Y has a current price of #650.00 and a forward annual dividend rate of #24.00. Applying these values into the formula we have: EDY = 24/650 *100 = 3.7% Meaning, if one buys this stock now, one wo...

The asymmetric volatility phenomenon is the observed tendency of equity market volatility to be higher in declining markets than in rising markets. Better still, asymmetric volatility is a situation in which the volatility of a security is higher when the market index is performing poorly than when it is performing well. Asymmetric volatility is a real phenomenon where market uptrends tend to be more gradual and downtrends tend to be sharper and steeper thereby becomes a cascading declines; the daily range in prices tends to be higher during downtrends than uptrends. There has been no consensus reached on the causes of asymmetric volatility, but factors such as leverage and panic(such as the recent equities market structure by NSE or The Exchange) are often attributed to it.

Recently, my cousin came for a seminar at Opebi and afterwards, he decided to pay me a visit although he told 2 weeks earlier. In the course of our conversation, he complained bitterly about an idea he has been trying to communicate to his Boss on different occasions but it always ends in futility. So, I told him to try different approach and be optimistic about it. An optimist will stop doing the same thing because  1. He knows boss is a human, so he can be reached and inspired regarding the idea.  2. Try as many method as possible to make him accept his idea. This is no different from the stock market either in bull or bear market. If your strategy is not working, you have to be an optimist who will stop doing the same thing because you know people are still making good returns in a bear market. Then like the advice to my cousin, try as many method as possible until you find the most effective one and this can be done through further know...

A new report Global Debt Database, by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) wants nations across the globe to put in place automatic stabilizers like tax and spending that move in sync with output and employment to operate fully.
