Seems like a good time to invest in energy. Prices have dropped, and always go up eventually. Or will they go lower?

Just a thought.... I guess new companies floating on the stock market make an interesting investment. High risk and possibly great gain??. Does anyone have any opinions on this? How can you find out about new floatation? Does ayone know how many occur in a typical year?

I want to be able to maximize my profit, but I cannot afford to risk any of it. My friend says Mutual funds are paying 5% interest. Is that the best I can hope for and not risk anything? I can leave it for a year, or more if the payout is good enough, but not too much more. Suggestions?

HELp please. Total novice here.

I have a savings account but would like to invest around $50 a week in another vehicle. Most investment firms will not even talk to you unless you have $1,000 to $5,000 to start. Where can I invest my $50 and really watch it grow?

I am currently reading up on how open-ended and closed-ended funds work and in the information i am reading it says:

"liquidity is very poor. The time to buy closed funds is immediately after they are issued. Often the share price drops below the net asset value, thus selling at a discount. A minimum investment of as much as $5000 may apply, and unlike the more common open funds discussed below, there is typically a five-year commitment. "

What does it mean by 5-year comitment and why isnt it as liquid since, if they trade on an exchange dont u just sell them to a buyer..Ahh but i just realized...maybe they're arent any buyers that day.

But what is this 5-year comittment thing mean? Is an investor into a closed-fund stuck with those shares for 5-years before they can sell them?
