Financial Calculators from Dinkytown.net! Profit on a Flat Stock (BA, JNJ, KO, MSFT, SBUX) Since its bottom on March 6 of last year, the S&P 500 has made a historic rally -- about 65% -- rivaling what we saw coming out of the Great Depression in 1938. However, if you take a gander at the years following 1938, you see -- after that big market rebound -- that stocks were relatively flat for a handful of years, including about 10% declines in both 1940 and 1941. If you were an investor back then, you were left twiddling your thumbs, merely hoping for additional gains from the market at some point. These days, we're more fortunate. The market may end up being flat for a few years after its recent jump, but stock options, launched in the 1970s, give even a conservative investor ways to profit when a stock is flat. The benefits of covered callsThe most common option strategy to profit if a stock stays flat, or goes down modestly, is also the most conservative: covered calls. In exchange for the contract, you get paid an option premium up front, and you keep that payment.

Fidelity's Biggest Stock Picks Going Into 2011 BOSTON (TheStreet) -- Fidelity literally means "loyalty," and that's what the largest U.S. mutual-fund company paid to its top two stock picks in 2010, as indicated by the combined $25 billion invested in Apple (AAPL_) and Google (GOOG_). Apple, the maker of the iPad tablet and iPhone smartphone, and Internet search engine Google held down the biggest positions in a ranking of the Boston-based company's $579 billion stock portfolio at year-end for the second year in a row. Last year, Apple was the biggest, and in 2009 it was Google, according to data collected on Fidelity's 177 equity mutual-fund portfolios, based on reports issued by the privately held firm as recently as Oct. 30, and summarized by Morningstar. Apple had a portfolio value of $15 billion, representing 2.6% of Fidelity's investable equity assets, up 66% from 2009, an increase aided by stock purchases and Apple's 54% share-price appreciation last year. The S&P 500 Index was up 15% in 2010.
