When stock values go down like they did today (800 points at one point of time), where does the value of the stock really go? Sure, people who own the stock lose money because of de-valued stocks, but where does the worth of the stock really go? Does it just disapear? How can consumer confidence, which is just an intangible feeling, affect value of stocks like that?

Stocks: How do stocks with dividends grow compared to stocks without?

February 13th, 2010
Kevin S asked:


I’m looking for a link to such studies here, so hopefully I can save time from doing my own studies. Basically, I’m looking for edges in the market, and even if dividend stocks grow at the same rate as non-dividend stocks, and dividends are a percent, than I will have a percent plus compounding on that percent every year. May not be much, but every edge counts. Please note that only statistics and studies will help me here. Thanks!

How do investment banks (Goldman and Morgan Stanley) accept deposits?

February 12th, 2010
Erik asked:


According to today’s (Sept 22) NY Times, “Both banks already have limited retail deposit-taking businesses, which they plan to expand over time. Morgan Stanley had $36 billion in retail deposits as of Aug. 31 and Goldman Sachs had $20 billion in deposits. ”

I thought that ony banks could accept deposits, not investment banks. (Obviously this will be different after they convert themselves to bank holding companies, as now planned.) Under current law, how are Goldman and Morgan Stanley able to accept deposits?

They do offer money market mutual funds, but these are uninsured investments, not “deposits”.

Thanks.
