Question

What is the usual face value of common stock shares in United States? Is it not $1 ?

Answer 1

There is no "face value" for stock shares.  Stocks are always worth whatever supply & demand dictates they're worth.

Answer 2

That question is quite confusing and unclear. You may be referring to a number of things. I think the only metric that comes to mind when interpreting your question is the average P/E ratio Price to earnings of the market and that, historically, is 15.

Answer 3

Face value is a concept followed only in certain countries.  US stocks do not have a face value associated with them.

Answer 4

I am playing very big on oil trading, from Morgan Stanly,  Goldman & Sachs on the Wall Street .

I bought millions and millions of barrels of oil when they cost $60--$100 a barrel. I expect to make a kill when I sell. But right now it’s only $145 a barrel. So here is my difficulty:

I already requested my agents spin the media, like: “Oil future looks high, expecting to be in the range of $200 a barrel soon. ”   But it does not work price up as fast as I expected.

I have also demanded my agent playing “China demand high” blaming game.

I am glad to see that Congress is ignoring 19 top trade group’s letter demanding an end to rampant oil speculation

Also I  am happy to see that the Media did not report it as I  desired.

But how do I corner the oil future price up very fast ?  fast enough in time so not to get caught ?
