Steven asks…

Have greedy businessmen and their politicians created a wave of immigration in UK and US?

Is it an ongoing deliberate strategy to lower overhead and boost earnings per share? Does it float everybody’s boat including your’s?

Are you better off than before you realized what was going on? Is it too late now?

Stephen Clinton answers:

Yes of course it is.

How long did it take you to figure this one out?? Lol! Cheap, ready-trained labour cuts down employers’ overheads substantially.

Oh sorry, thats not the “politicall correct” answer is it.

Ok, then here goes: PC-version to get me a few thumbs up from the pro-immigration lobby:

“Blah blah . . .benefit our economy . . .blah blah . . .hard working people . . . Blah blah . . .doing jobs British people won’t do . . . Blah blah . . . Lovely Polish girls better than fat ugly British ones . . .blah blah . . . British people lazy . . . Blah blah . . . All claiming dole . . .blah blah . . .Poles better work ethic . . . Blah blah . . . Work with a Pole he’s a really nice guy . . . Blah blah . . .drone drone . . .same old crap different anus . . .etc”

Better?

What’s a good site to learn about investing for beginners?

Anything with examples and/or nice tutorials?

Bonus question:

What is EPS (Earnings per share) and why is it important to investors? Do people who own this share actually get this amount per share?

Stephen Clinton answers:

Johnny, the Motley Fool’s website is really good for the beginning investor. I believe you can find everything there that you’re looking for.

The Earnings Per Share is paid out at specific intervals for that particular share of stock. Some can be annually, biannually, quarterly, or one-time special payouts. This is important to investors because it represents their return on investment or ROI. They are actually paid this amount, it is commonly called the dividend.

Hopefully that answers your questions, if you have any further questions, update your question, and I’ll check back later

Donald asks…

Where can I find year end average stock prices for a company?

I am doing a report where I need to find the year end average stock price for the last 3 complete years for Southwest Airlines, and none of the stock websites like nyse, nasdaq, give information in that much detail.

Does anyone know where I can find that information?

I also need the earnings per share or net income, and the profitability in the last 3 years relative to its competitors.

Stephen Clinton answers:

Yahoo finance will give you historical prices. LUV’s 12/31 closing prices were 2007: $12.19, 2006: $15.28, 2005: $16.37

Morningstar will give you historical EPS and profit margins over the past three years.
2007: 0.84; 10.7%
2006: 0.61; 8.7%
2005: 0.67; 11.5%
These are diluted EPS numbers; and Profit Margins before taxes.

I do not know LUV’s competitors, maybe HATE? Envy, and Greed?
