Investing - January 2007

Keep in mind I know next to nothing about money, so any and all advice will be appreciated. Basically, I'm looking to know what would be some good directions for investment? Stock market? Foreign currencies? I honestly have no clue, and also, what types of people I could consult with for further advice - and who if anyone I should trust to invest my money. Thanks.

CMX is 86.6% held by institutional investors. The future of CMX is in the hands of a very few people. Any whispers from portfolio managers on how they plan to vote?

Why has Microsoft decided to stay on the NASDAQ and not switch over to the NYSE like most companies do. Aren't the commission fees a bit higher on the NASDAQ.

I know you can buy stocks in companies but I wanted to know if there is a place kind of like the movie "Trading Places" where you can buy and sell gold or oil and stuff like that.

I'm 24 working for Nationwide Insurance (which has growth annually based on clients) and would like to know which investment fund would be best to look at, at this time. I own a home and plan on moving w/in 3 years. Would it be better for me to invest long-term (IRA, 401k- no match) or to save for a loarger down payment on next home in anticiapation of children?

Appreciate all suggestions

my mom gave me $10,000 as a gift and am wondering the best way to invest it, whether it is long term, short term, CD or IRA - maybe ROTH.. not sure what is the best? i have my pension in stocks but am not comfortable even to risk 10K on my own. i am married, living in NJ and we make less then $70k.

i am leaning toward ROTH, but am not exactly clear on it, can i just put in the $10,000 or do i have to contribute EVERY year?
thanks

I am thinking that I couuld research stocks that pay high dividend amounts and then purchase the stock, get paid the dividend, and then sell the stock. I know I would risk losing money if the stock price went down in between buy and sell periods, but I could also hold the stock until the price was at least at the break-even point. Seems too easy so I must be missing something....what is it? Thanks!

I'm 41 years old and started my own business one year ago. I would like to take the next step and set a some type of retirement savings plan but I know nothing about them. I am the only employee of this business so I'm only saving for myself. Do I consider a 401K plan, stocks or something else? Anyone have any suggestions?

I am an active student trader and I need a real-time stock chart I can use (I currently use scottrade as my broker and they do offer real-time charts along with their elite program which I do not qualify for because of my small account value).

I looked at the Prophet website, but they charge $499.50/year for their real-time charts which includes all the technical analysis feature. And their charts are interactive.

However it is to damm EXPENSIVE for my taste. Is there any real-time charts that I can use for an affordable price? It must offer technical analysis features and live quotes.

Thanks!!

I just sold a stock at a gain (I bought it at $2000 and sold it at around $2700). I think it might be poised for a short-term loss before it bounces back. Can I buy the stock again immediately without incurring any penalties or extra taxes? If not, how long do I have to wait before I can?
