Return on investment for stock market instruments

Saturday, 11 November 2006 20:49

With this computational module you can compute the return on an (equity) investment. The calculator takes the following effects into account:

Transaction costs for buying and selling instruments on the stock market,
debet interest on a margin account or on any other loan that provided the money to invest with,
dividend and the ex-dividend date,
exchange rate of the currency in which the share is listed on the stock market, if this is different from your home currency.

There are people who are buying shares and selling them the same day, after a common upwards variation in the share price: day-traders. From the bottom field (yearly ROI) one can conclude that their returns can be quite high.

Not only the shares bought can be listed in a different currency, also a currency can be selected for the transaction costs and the loan. The currency for the dividend is always equal to the currency in which the share is listed.

See this page for an example computation with this calculator.
