Stock Scenario Calculator

How to use it: Enter the stock symbol, what one share costs, how many shares you have and how far you think the price may move. The calculator shows the new share price, the new value of all your shares and your possible profit or loss. Example: 20 shares bought at $250 cost $5,000; if the price rises 10% to $275, they become worth $5,500—a $500 gain.
