Stocks Trading Under 1

How can a stock trade below the Book Value?

The current price per share for Duke Energy is $19.99 -
Total Assets = 70,282,000,000
Total Liabilities = 43,786,000,000
Assets minus Liabilities = 26,496,000
Shares outstanding = 1,255,000,000
Equity/Shares = $21.11 per share

That is true. Actually, there have been many occassions in the past when many stocks have sold below book value. Normally, it has been when prospects were not too good.

Duke has got itsself into some problems recently. It tried to become at one point another Enron. Fortunately, it managed to fare better than Enron. With Duke it was just a mis-step. With Enron, we all know that story. Duke is now attempting to set itsself right, but the investment community judges companies greatly on past performance.

Both return on assets and roe are not very impressive currently. But when you consider the replacement cost of those assets, the stock is selling about about 15% of book value on replacement cost basis.

If you are looking for a bargain, DUK certainly is a bargain. No doubt about it.

The Truth About Day Trading Stocks (Hardcover) $76.18 A realistic guide to day trading today`s stock market The Truth About Day Trading Stocks is an uncompromisingly realistic look at the challenges involved in becoming a successful day trader. Based on author Josh DiPietro`s ten years of experience as a day trader, this book dissects the psychological and strategic pitfalls that cause most aspiring day traders to fail. Written in an engaging and sometimes humorous tone, The Truth About Day Trading Stocks relates his own experiences, and in so doing, provides the reader with valuable lessons. This book is an antidote to trading industry hype that encourages traders to believe that trading is easily learned and is a fast path to wealth. It explains that the conventional route of attending seminars, buying software, and opening an account with a major brokerage house is a path to failure. Instead, a trader must learn hard lessons of self-discipline, consistency, and staying in the game for the long haul to have a real chance of success. The goal of this guide is to slow down the over-eager, over-optimistic amateur day trader by imparting a realistic view of the challenges of day trading and providing tools, techniques, and insights to become a successful trader without losing a huge amount of money in the process. Josh DiPietro (West Dennis, MA and New York, NY) has been day trading stocks for ten years. He operates a Web site, www.daytraderjosh.com, and provides training programs for aspiring day traders.
