Potential stock return interest rate. What is it for average share. PLEASE HELP!!?

Question

hi there

what would be the average interest stock return for a blue chip share? if someone knows it for the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) then please advise if better point me in the direction where i can find it. very new to it so will need some advice.

Also the percentage of a speculative share (high risk= possible high return).

THANKYOU

Answer 1

In America the historical return on stocks has been 6% adjusted for inflation.   Historical return on bonds 4%.

You are asking for a magical number for 2008 stocks.  It changes every day.  What is the figure when Bear Stearns goes from $32 a share on Friday and is $2 on Monday.  And millions of people hold stock in Bear Stearns.

Answer 2

There is no average share. Some earn you money, some don't. It all depends on luck and research.
