    Earnings Per Share is defined as what?

    • Distribution of company's profits to shareholders

    • Showing the value of stock price compared to earnings

    • Amount of profit allocated to each share of common stock

    • How much money someone makes by keeping money under their bed

    Correct Answer
    A. Amount of profit allocated to each share of common stock
    Explanation
    Earnings Per Share (EPS) is a financial metric that represents the portion of a company's profit that is allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. It is calculated by dividing the net income of the company by the total number of outstanding shares. EPS is an important indicator for investors as it helps them evaluate the profitability and performance of a company on a per-share basis. This metric allows investors to compare the earnings potential of different companies and make informed investment decisions.

    Which of these is a common investor mistake?

    Correct Answer
    A. Buying high, selling low
    Explanation
    Buying high, selling low is a common investor mistake because it goes against the basic principle of investing, which is to buy low and sell high. When investors panic and sell their investments during a market downturn, they often end up selling at a loss. Conversely, when they buy investments when prices are already high, they may not be able to achieve significant returns. This mistake is driven by emotions and a lack of discipline in following a long-term investment strategy.
