Getting results from Investors Chronicle

Article Abstract:

Corporate results are released in different forms and investors can decide whether to buy a company's shares by studying its results. Ordinary prices are mid way between selling and buying prices. Touch prices are the lowest buying prices and best selling prices. Highs and lows indicate prices over a given period. The market capitalization or market value is the price of a company's shares multiplied by the number of shares, and gives an idea of how much a company is worth.

South east Asia: further to fall?

Article Abstract:

Stock Markets in South-East Asia performed well in 1993, but share prices dropped by an average of 25% during 1994 as foreign funds were repatriated with US interest rate rises. Local interest rates rose in some countries such as Malaysia where currencies were tied to the US dollar. Further falls are expected during 1995 since US interest rates are likely to continue to rise. Local demand is not strong enough to sustain these markets, so the prognosis is not promising.
