Stock ownership profits: Known as "return on acquisition", and referred to by the symbol HPR. The return on acquisition is calculated by finding the value of the difference between the previous price of the stock and its current price. This is after adding the value of the cash dividends received.
Earnings per share: Referred to as EPS, it is the total net income divided by the total number of shares.
Unrealized earnings: Referred to as Unrealized P/L, it is calculated in a simple way. It is the difference between the purchase price of the share and its current price.
Realized earnings: Referred to as Realized P/L. It is the result of subtracting the selling price of the share from its purchase price after adding the value of commissions.
