Let's suppose that a british investor invests in a mutual fund whose underlying is in american dollars, but which is bought in pounds sterling. This means that the fund's managers convert the pounds to dollars to buy, and the opposite to sell.
But let's suppose there is an hyper-inflation in the UK, say, the same ma... |

Due to the pandemic, I was unable to pay rent for my apartment complex that I have now moved out of. I do not have the money to pay this debt because I was unemployed because of the pandemic. Additionally, I am below median income.

When you sell an asset in a year, how does your income computed?
Here is a scenario:
say you are a 100K/year salary guy. You sell a home ( an investment home, not your primary residence ) for 1M with 500K capital gain.

I'm planning to open an online savings account in a bank where i already have normal savings account. In the form though it asks me to declare that i don't have same scheme account in their bank. I'm not sure what this means, and is normal savings supposed to be same schemed account? |

I'm not a financial expert, but saying that paying a $1 dividend will reduce the value of the stock by $1 sounds like awfully simple-minded reasoning to me. It appears to be based on the assumption that the price of a stock is equal to the value of the assets of a company divided by the total number of shares. But that... |
How do I price a convertible bond that has a callable feature? |
I am checking out Apple's stock on TradingView on a Sunday night and it shows its price fluctuating? How is that possible? Isn't the stock market supposed to be closed on weekends?
Same with forex. If I open EUR/USD, its price has also been fluctuating throughout the entire weekend, even though the market is closed. |
Why do stock (and forex) prices change over weekend, when the market is supposed to be closed? |

Suppose the lowest offer on stock S is $10. This offer is not the market maker's offer. A trader places a market order to buy stock S on the NYSE. Can the NYSE market maker "intercept" this market order and sell stock S at $9.99 using the market maker's own inventory, bypassing the lowest existing offer? |
Can NYSE market makers step in front of existing limit orders to fill an incoming market order? |
