Very informative. Now do Sony!
Sony Group Corporation (ソニーグループ株式会社, Sonī Gurūpu kabushiki gaisha/ˈsoʊni/ SOH-nee), commonly known as Sony and stylized as SONY, is a Japanese multinational conglomerate corporation headquartered in Kōnan, Minato, Tokyo, Japan.] As a major technology company, it operates as one of the world's largest manufacturers of consumer and professional electronic products, the largest video game console company and the largest video game publisher. Through Sony Entertainment Inc, it is one of the largest music companies (largest music publisher & second largest record label) and the third largest film studio, making it one of the most comprehensive media companies. It is the largest technology and media conglomerate in Japan. At the same period, it is also recognized as the most cash-rich Japanese company, with its net cash reserves of ¥2 trillion.
Sony, with its 55 percent market share in the image sensor market, is the largest manufacturer of image sensors, the second largest camera manufacturer, and is among the semiconductor sales leaders. It is the world's largest player in the premium TV market for a television of at least 55 inches (140 centimeters) with a price higher than $2,500 as well as second largest TV brand by market share and, as of 2020, the third largest television manufacturer in the world by annual sales figures.
---------------------------------------------
Interestingly enough, if you had bought shares of SONY this morning you could have made nearly 4% today. Of course that doesn't include commission fees. But the stock was up 3.7% today.

My stock is doing way too well too early.
Re: GAME: If you could only pick one stock for 2022
I'm guessing you'll give us weekly/monthly updates. I had a question because I'm ignorant about stocks. Your original thread page said value of the stock. Is that just based on price per share? Noticed you also listed dividends and number of shares and was wondering if that factored into value in any way.

Noticed you also listed dividends and number of shares and was wondering if that factored into value in any way.
i have this entered into an Excel spreadsheet. And I found out that Excel has a "stock link" where you can link stock ticker symbols and it will update the most recent price (up to the minute). So all I have to do is hit refresh and it updates the entire table automatically. So, at any moment if someone wanted to know the exact status of anyone, they can get it.
As far as the "value of a stock", that means what its current value is at any moment in time. During a trading day a stock price will change moment to moment based on trades that are being made. So, the price of KMI might open at $17.06 per share and then it might go to $17.20 per share in the first 30 minutes, then drop back to $17.12 per share, etc. It will bounce around all day long. Every day. So the "Value" is the price of the share at any moment in time multiplied by the number of shares you own. On that table above us I just do the math already so that you can compare the current value to the original $10,000 that you bought at 8:30 am 2/1/2022.
As far as the dividends, that does enter into the picture, but those are only paid once a quarter or annually. I will just add them on at the end of the contest if a person has a stock that pays dividends.

You're showing my stock being down 1.15%, but Google search says it was up 1.14%.
DataDog closed at $147.78. You bought on the opening price of 147.89, meaning you bought it higher than it closed. Google is looking at what it closed at yesterday, which was 146.11.

you should also notice that the time stamp on those prices I posted was at 1:50 central time. the market was still open. I wasn't at the office when it closed. there is nothing nefarious going on.

Plus it doesn't matter day to day or week to week, just long term, right?

yes, but some people just want to make sure that they know how to track it (I would imagine). The question makes sense. I would have never guessed that Google would show the gain of a stock for the day based on its close from the previous day, but it makes sense. Short term its a very minor point. But stocks don't open one day at the price they closed on the previous day. That's why Friday's are always so dangerous. If some big event is looming (threat of a war or storm or such) then people know they have to wait the whole week-end to find out the damage so they sell on Friday.
