I am an occasional investor in stocks and shares. I wish to start investing online as I don't have time to visit the broker. What are my options, and which brokerage firm would be the best and why? How do I go about joining it? What books should I read and where are they available? What are the online resources for research, on Indian companies, that are free? Can somebody donate me old books on this subject?

I have a formula that will compute compounding interest (FV = PV(1+i)^n), however this formula will not take into account annual contributions made during the life of the investment. Could someone show me how to alter this formula, or provide a new formula, that would allow for contributions?

Thanks in advance.

How does an increase in bond risk affect equilibrium bond price and quantity? Assume that investors are risk-averse.

I'm thinking demand would decrease, am I right? And does the Fisher effect come into play here? Would supply change also? If so, how (increase or decrease)?

Thanks a bunch!!

I have what I think is a great business idea. I've been researching it for over a year and I'm now working on specifics and writing a business plan. I'm a single mother of 2, ages 12 and 14 so they will only be at home a few more years. My credit absolutely sucks and we are sharing a house with my mom that is one gust of wind away from falling down. They are ashamed to have friends over and I don't blame them. I would like to give them a decent home/life again while they are still around to appreciate it, but if I go the conventional way by cleaning up my credit, etc. it will take years. By the time I accomplish anything, they will be off to college.

My question is this: Does anyone out there think I am crazy for hoping to find someone who will loan me $225,000 for a home, business and to pay off debts? The lender would keep the deed to the home and we could have a contract drawn up stating that if I didn't pay the loan off in a specified amount of time, the business would be theirs.

It's a really good business idea in a virtually untouched niche so I'm sure it will be successful. I've never wanted to do anything so much in my whole life. My kids deserve so much better and I'll do anything to make this work.

The variance in an asset's rate of return measures this asset's risk; the more volatile the return, the more difficult it is to predict.

All else being equal, when the variance of an asset's rate of return falls, the demand for an asset will:

A. Fall because this implies a decrease in expected return

B. Rise because this implies an increase in expected inflation

C. Fall when investors are risk-averse

D. Fall when investors are risk-neutral

E. Rise when investors are risk lovers

F. Rise when investors are risk-averse

I've heard that they tend to move in opposite directions, but doesn't inflation bring down both stocks and bonds?

Unico is a mineral mining company whos revenue has been on the slide in the past couple of years. Hence there falling stock price. But at .014 a share, it looks pretty appealing considering there new plans to expand there drilling and invest into there corporation. Management has shown a pattern in the last few months of buying up there own stock, should a young investor like myself be interested? Even if it goes up to a quarter, that could give thousands of dollars on only a $100 investment. I think that risk is worth $100.

Healthsouth (HLSH)

its at a 52 week low and they just decided to split the stock 1:5
it would be my first stock purchase. theres always a future in healthcare. they just got over a big scandal 2 years ago. Is it bad or good to buy when stocks merge/split like this for every 5 shares you own it will be 1 at 5 x's the price. instead of 4.75 it will go to 23?!?!?
