It means the value of a company's stock has gone up in dollar(s) and vice versa. A point is usually equal to a dollar in most cases.

One or more of the following market conditions may explain why a bond is selling at a premium (to face value): * Interest rates went down (causing value to go up) * The credit rating for the company issuing the stock went up * The company issuing the bonds has offered to buy outstanding debt at a premium * If convertible bond (to stock), the underlying stock went above a critical value making the bond more valuable when converted
If you are asking about the Sept 2008 bank bailout, here is the answer. Bush administration wants to pay more than the price a pool of mortgages is worth on the open market. This is in esssence a gift to bankers. Think of a mutual fund or stock you have bought and lost money on the investment. The banks and stock brokers made bad investments on sub-prime mortgages, and now want the taxpayers to give them free money to bail them out. If that happens, why doesn't the government give you a check to bail you out over that stock you bought that went down in price?
Yes, if you sold the stock for less than your basis or if there was an event that caused your stock to become worthless during the year. Note that this does not apply if the stock was in a tax-sheltered account such as an IRA or a 401k. If a bank went out of business causing the stock to become worthless, you can claim it as a loss. If the value of the stock went from $200 a share to $.02 a share, it is not yet worthless -- no deduction until you sell it.
We don't find out until July 31st if the price went up or down from 15.55. I am hoping it went up because I bought a LOT of shares this time since it was so low hoping that it would go up atleast a dollar or something. So hang in there we will know on the 31st.
