Brokers, analysts, fund managers - they all tell us where we should invest our money. Would a requirement that they report their holdings by percentage help reduce fraud, pump-and-dump, bad advice, etc... Example: if their total investment holding are $2000, they should not have to report that they have $1000 in IBM, $1000 in TXT. They would report 50% in IBM, 50% in TXT. They would not report that the total is $2000.

Okay this problem is related to my dad's office. He has this 25-year old typewriter, a 10 year-old digital word-processor lying around the main desks of his office. I asked him to get rid of them and use the space for something better instead and He justified it by saying that those typewriters are a way of showing the new clients that we are not a new company but old and trusty.
Is that a good idea?

Is it better to seek a Mortgage from a Mortgage Broker or from a Mortgage Lender directly? I have met with various mortgage brokers and they all say that they get the best rates.

I didn't join the company to handle claims...I am a an auto claims rep.. I wanted to get into underwriting. However, I have not been able to ascertain a position in that area. I am seriously too smart for the job (graduated from college with a 3.81) IQ of over 130. I can't really fake like I care anymore. I have no desire to be here.
It is emotionally draining. I had busted my butt AND performed at a high level for a long time, but now I think it's pointless to do so. My motivation is gone..I do the same thing over and over again. I am not challenged. I am gifted with ADHD..repititon kills me I just want to quit and take some time off and find something I like.. I can move back in with one of my parents temporarily. I know that is lame, but I am one step from the booby hatch.

Possibly if I talk to my boss I may be able to get into another department..Anyone have any experiences?

In mutual fund invstment the aim is to beat the index. To this end new strategies are introduced regularly and the current one is to follow the most successful (star) managers. The logic is intuitively very appealing.

The well known firm Citywire conducted a study to identify the current top fund managers in the UK market.and the results were announced a few days ago, They found that in a universe of 900 managers, 12 had beaten the index every year for the last 6 years.

Star managers attrack huge inflows of money to their funds and not surisingly, they become celebrities and paid telephone number salaries, bonuses and share options.

But I have done some calculations. Assuming a 50% chance of beating the index, the probability of 6 wins in 6 years is 1/64, which gives 14 managers (actually a little less because of fund charges), virtually identical with the result of the study. Those 12 star managers , then, were probably just lucky.

I believe in index trackers. And you?

The price that shows up today is actually a day old. When you sell, are you selling at that price or whatever happens after the bell today?
