i'm trying to decide between using an online account or using a conventional bank to purchase mutual funds... I know the online brokerage doesn't charge any commisions to buy or trade mutual funds.

I just wonder if buying them through a conventional bank branch is going to cost the same thru management fees, random bank charges etc.

I like the ease of online trading, and already have a stock trading account with the same brokerage company. I'm not an exceptionally savvy investor but am working at being one.

let me know your thoughts!

thanks

There are a few propeties that are being auctioned at the courthouse that I know I can flip and make a huge profit. Here's the catch. I have very little money to start with, I don't want to take real estate classes right now and I'm trying to avoid taking out a bank loan. What are the steps I need to take to make this work for me.

I'm fully aware of:
*commercial, medical, residential, retail real estate.
*private businesses, real estate investment trusts, stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, oil/natural gas trusts.
*corporate bonds, municipal bonds, other government bonds.
*precious stones, precious metals, other non-renewable natural resources that can be owned.
*knives, firearms, dehydrated food, water, water purifiers, other mostly-functional survival objects which could be traded after society collapses.
*knowledge of how to build, operate and repair systems, be they business or mechanical.

I'll define an asset as something that can add value to you or someone else, and can be traded for goods and/or services. I don't consider a job to be an asset, and self-employed-type skills like salesmanship are covered above under knowledge. Please don't start splitting hairs about any of the above (for instance, palladium goes under precious metals). I'm an investment fiend, and I need a new fix.

My mother and I started a plus size womens clothing store in a small to medium sized town in Kansas. Its on Main st where lots of other retail businesses are. And tho we cater the clothes to plus size women we carry name brand purses, nice jewelry and scarfs and hats and gloves. And we carry sandals in the summer! lots of things other than plus size clothes. we thought it was a great idea because the only place in our town where you can buy plus size is walmart! Our prices are moderate, we dont even mark things up to there retail value! The first year was ok(it kept the bills paid) the second not so hot! and now we are dreading starting the third year! Please help this is my mothers life long dream! i dont want it to fail! We spend around 25% of our monthly income on adverising..we advertise with three newspapers...two radio stations and send out newsletters! and its still not bringing in the customers!Our target age group is 18-60 we carry every thing for every women thats why my mother and i started the business together...im 20 and shes 42 so we get a wide range of style difference from out age! And i dont think our clothes are frumpy i think we sell very nice things and we are small town so we wouldnt sell a thing that we wouldnt wear ourselves or that is damaged! Our customers that do come in are always saying what a great store we have and we have so many cute things but yet they dont buy!

My husband had a interview wednesday and the employer said i let you know when to start monday. When a employer says he'll let you know monday does that mean he will really call monday?From your own personal experience do they always call you back to let you know when to start? Or they just dont.. Were really counting on this job

I'm 16. I'm a junior. I'm smart. I'm good with people and numbers. I can go to pretty much any college I want. I want to make a lot of money. Where should I go? What should I major in? What kind of job should I get?

please note: I don't want a job that'll require more than 50 hours of work a week.

What I mean is, at any given time, IBM has X-amount of CASH available to invest in say, a hedge fund, or other instrument to better their return on their available cash on hand.

I'd like to know, how much actual cash does IBM have to invest?

All answers are appreciated! Thanks!

I am about to graduate from college, and I have about 15,000 saved up. I am looking to buy a condo for about 85000. I have two options when it comes to the mortgage....

100% loan, 6.75% payments about 550 a month (no PMI required)

95% loan, 6.375% payments about 540 a month (including PMI) (4250 cash for down payment)

My qestion is this....? does it make any sense at all to make a down payment when it will only lower my payments by about 10 dollars a month? I would like to have equity in the property, but I could also use the money to finish paying off my car completely, which would free up 115 dollars a month.

Market is Tulsa, OK.....appreciation rate of about 3-5% a year, not really affected by national market, thus there are never really any sizeable downturrns. I am looking to be in the house for about 5 years.
