I have $100K to invest in the market (it's my retirement pensioin), I'm 46 yrs old.
1)Thinking NO mutual funds
2) Diversify between:
-Banks (financial) say ticker "TD.TO" on Toronto (banks always make money, TD is a major player and seems slightly undervalued. w/low PE and pretty good dividend)
-Oil exploration ticker "SLB" on NY (Schlumberger is established with real aggressive 1yr target, low PE and good dividend and major player with pretty good record)
-Energy say ticker "ABB" on NY (ABB because they have come out of the LOW Dark times after settling the major class action suit, they are key players in the energy field in emerging countries

3) 33% for each to yield $$ on increase

4) I'll go long and hold no problem

5) I am holding "NT" (lots of it) and I wonder if I should dump, when it looked bleak, I just thought I would hold for 10-20 yrs till it gains back some ground, I am interested in comments regarding NT, I bought at about $10 it's now around $2.50

?

Let's say I have a portfolio made up of 20 mutual funds. I have the std (risk) of each fund. I want to calculate the over risk of the portfolio. Is it statistically correct to calculate the weighted average of the standard deviations (sum of (std * dollars at that std)/ N) in order to obtain a approximation of the overall portfolio risk? Can I then do the same with historical returns and use (weighted std * weighted return * porfolio value) to obtain the range of expected returns? How can this information then be used to calculate the expected draw down at one and two standard deviations?

the owner is asking $89k for the retail store. the store is nice and the location is good. of course i'm going to meet with her and ask for all the documents needed in making this decision. i've talked to her broker and from waht she told me her cash flow is about half the asking price. my friend thinks it suspicious that she would want to sell her store after only 3 years. the broker said she is selling because she is moving, that's why i don't think it's so suspicious. i would be going into this deal with 2 other people, so financially it's not too bad. i'm 25 and feel i have nothing to loose. 2 of us will continue to work and go to school and the third will stay at the store most of the time. i would just like to get other people opinions, experiences.

I have been playing the simulator stock "game" with $1000.00, which "charges" $19.99 a trade. It seems to me that if I had a real account, and any time I had a profit of say even $10-15, and could trade for the $4.95 price Tradeking advertises, I would amass little daily profits with which I could play/buy more. Is there some rule I don't know about that one has to keep a stock for a certain period of time? Is what I'm suggesting "daytrading"? Thanks for any info!

I have about only 15 shares of AIG stock, and was told I need to go to a broker (Schwab, TD Ameritrade, etc.). Can I just walk in and sell them? I'm sure there is a fee, but would i have to open an account, etc.? All I want to do is just sell them...nothing more.

I read that the key to wealth is the ability to turn earned income or money you work for into passive income, incremental money you receive each month or on some recurring basis that you dont work for. Though that sounds great in theory how does it work in practice? I know rental income is a form of passive income. Can anyone think of other ways to make money that is not tied to your labor?

If I own call options on a company that expire in July 2007 and the company announced that it will move its stock listing from the American Stock Exchange to the NYSE in December 2006 what happens to the options that I own? Do they just transfer over? Are new options written that render mine useless or make them illiquid? Thanks very much for your help.

My company went public and suddenly I have a pretty large sum of money. The stock is trading at 150 times my strike price. There are mixed feelings around the office of if we should sell and get the cash out or hold and wait for it to go higher and get more cash out. The issue is whenever you sell stock there is always a possibliity it will go up after your sell. My question is when do you know its the right time to sell stock options???

I don't want any risks of losses and I want for it to be untouchable for about 10+ years.
