<p>I'm 34 years old. Twelve years ago, I got a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, and have been working as a computer programmer more-or-less continuously since then.</p> <p>I also have been investing in the stock market since 1999. I'm very meticulous, and have carefully tracked my investments. Recently, I decide to sit down and really analyze my performance vs. the market.</p> <p>I threw out the 1999-2002 data because it was mostly filled with my stock options at the company I worked for, and was thus not indicative of my own trading prowess. But since 2002, I've just been a retail investor, investing a self-directed IRA and various brokerage accounts.</p> <p>From 2002 through today, I've made about $24,000 in net contributions into my various accounts, and today the value of the accounts adds up to about $40,000. I would have had the exact same performance had I been investing in a savings account yielding about 9% - a pretty good return for the past 8 years.</p> <p>I also did a more detailed comparison, and did a what-if scenario where I just put all of my contributions (and took my withdrawals from) imaginary stocks that exactly tracked the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&amp;P 500. In those scenarios, I would have ended up with between $19,000 and $21,000, depending on which index I used.</p> <p>So, I'm pretty good at picking stocks and managing investments; as of today, I have about twice as much money in my various accounts as I would have had I just blindly followed the "index fund" advice, and I have a substantial profit instead of a small but significant loss.</p> <p>I've been programming for 12 years, and the market for programmers isn't getting any better. Most programming these days is very boring "make the button on the web site a little bit bluer" web development stuff. My current job is a contract position that will end about four months from now.</p> <p>So, I'm a pretty good investor, will be looking for a job soon, and might be interested in a career change.</p> <p>I live in Boise, Idaho, not exactly a financial hotbed. I have no desire to move elsewhere.</p> <p>Is there any way that I can turn my trading prowess into a job as a professional portfolio manager? How would I even begin doing something like that?</p>

<p>I've read a couple of times: its price is above book value or its price is bellow book value.</p> <p>What is the book value? How do I find it? Is it objective?</p>

<p>I've heard that dividend-paying stocks typically outperform non-dividend paying stocks in the long run. </p>

<p>What affects the price of a stock? I know a lot of it has to do with how well the company is making profits but what else will make the price of a stock go up or down? </p>

<p>When a stock is already at a low price, you could say it can't go much lower and doesn't give you much incentive to short. What are other problems with shorting a stock that is already low priced? </p>
