6 HOW STOCKS MAKE MONEY CAPITAL GAINS AND DIVIDENDS Capital Gains The difference between what you pay for a stock and what you receive when you sell it. Example: If you pay $15 for a share of stock and sell it for $20, your capital gain is $5. Dividends* Payments to shareholders out of a company s earnings. Are usually paid quarterly Are usually paid in cash Can be paid in stock or other property Can be used to purchase more shares (reinvestment) Most people invest in the stock market to earn a return on their investment.

13 INVESTMENT STRATEGY: LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE Buy and Hold Selecting quality stocks and holding them for the long term Timing the Market Buying and selling stocks when you think the time is right Value of a $10,000 investment in the S&P 500 (Dec Dec. 2015) $600,000 $500,000 $490, % Value $400,000 $300,000 Average Annual Return $237,111 $200, % $144,993 $100,000 $0 Invested entire period Missed 10 best days 7.7% $93,844 Missed 20 best days 6.4% $63,216 Missed 30 best days 5.3% Missed 40 best days $43, % Missed 50 best days Source: Ned Davis Research, Edward Jones calculations. 12/31/ /31/2015. These calculations assume the best days, as defined as the top percentage gains for the S&P 500, including dividends, for the time period designated. These calculations do not include any commissions or transaction fees that an investor may have incurred. If these fees were included, it would have a negative impact on the return. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged index and is not available for direct investment. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Dividends can be increased, decreased or eliminated at any point without notice. Copyright 2016 Ned Davis Research, Inc. All rights reserved. Further distribution prohibited without prior permission. Although past performance is not a guarantee of future results, if you had missed only the 10 best days in the 30-year time span, you would have cut returns by more than half. Since there is no way to accurately predict what is going to happen in the future, time in the market is better than timing the market. MKD-3358J-A-PW EXP 30 APR EDWARD D. JONES & CO., L.P.

These charts are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to represent the performance of any security. These illustrations do not include commissions or fees. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Equity investments will fluctuate in value and, when sold, may be worth more or less than the original investment. Systematic investing does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss. Such a strategy involves continual investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities. You should consider your financial ability to continue the purchases through periods of low price levels. Answers: Systematic Investing or Dollar Cost Averaging MKD-3358J-A-PW EXP 30 APR EDWARD D.

17 GLOSSARY Asset allocation A method to help reduce investment risk by putting funds in several investment categories such as growth, growth and income, and income. Capital gain The difference between what you pay for a stock and what you receive when you sell it. Also known as capital appreciation. Common stock Shares of a public corporation. Owners are usually entitled to receive dividends and vote on important company matters. Should the company be forced to liquidate, assets are distributed to creditors, bondholders and preferred stockholders before common stockholders. Common stocks are usually purchased for their appreciation potential and possible dividend income. Diversification Owning different types of investments within an asset class. Dividend Payments from a company to its shareholders, historically based on its earnings. Dividends are usually paid quarterly in the form of cash and sometimes stock. Payments are in proportion to the number of shares an investor owns. Index A reference investors and financial advisors use to compare an individual stock against a pool of stocks. Par value Equal to the nominal or face value of the security. Portfolio A collection of things you own, such as bank accounts, employer-offered retirement plans and individual investments. Preferred Stock A class of stock that pays dividends at a fixed, specified rate and has preference over common stocks in dividend payments and liquidation. Preferred stocks usually do not carry voting rights. If dividend payments are missed on a preferred stock, all missed dividends must be paid before any dividends can be paid on common stock. Preferred stocks are generally more attractive for corporations because of favorable tax treatments. Risk Tolerance An investor s ability, need and desire to assume investment risk in exchange for the potential for greater return. Shareholder Someone who owns stock. Dividend yield A financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment for a stock. Dividend yield is calculated by dividing annual dividends per share by the price per share.
