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.

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?

Please share your vision of what we might see in 5 years or so. Refrain from machines that are 20+ years out like food replicators. I'm thinking of investing a few thousand $ in a company that is actually working in this field, but I am interested in what you imagine around the bend as well.

WW II was well planned, well financed & promoted, and was also extremely profitable for a select group of financial insiders. Who were some of the large bankers of those days? Who else do you know besides, Henry Ford, GE, and Standard Oil who helped Hitler ? Why would some American companies support the enemy?

What will be the best and fastest way to find out if a company that supposedly works with grants are legitimate, because one just contact me and had told me that my business qualify for a grant since the nature of my business does community service(karate school),that they work with grants from private companies(Coca Cola,Pepsi,Met life,etc),and we qualify for a $180,000 because we are planning to move into a bigger location,that we are in a low income area,also an area with high unemployment,also an area of minorities,we will create jobs and again continue with our community service working with kids and getting them of the streets etc.Basically is this all crap or there is a possibilty of what this people are telling me could be true because they are asking me for $2,500 up front and another $2,500 when we get the grant And honestly I am not in the position to loose that money,that I dont have and I do not want to get in debt to get it

Essentially I mean using it soley to provide an income, so not things such as paying off current debt or investing it for growth. Also, what is a realistic amount of interest to safely expect? Would making $80k-$100k in interest per year on the million bucks be realistic with what you are proposing?

More Specifically - Builders (Residential) and other General Contractors - Industry Standards - Benchmark Percentages - Insurance (non health) Expense as a Percentage of Sales / Gross Receipts.

It will have to be data divided into regions (within the US) and divided by size brackets - e.g. $ 50-100 million annual sales.

I bought 100 shares of EXEL at 10.00, then another 500 at 9.27. When I sell, how do I choose which lot? Or do I? Does the trader just sell the ones that would make me the most money or least loss? When I look at the Scottrade SELL screen, I don't see any way to specify which lot.
