Investing - January 2007

i'm interested in investing between 500-1000 month. i understand that the max roth ira is 4500. i'm over 30 and i have nothing to depend on for retirement. in 10 years just to start what could my return look like? with the max being 4500 for the ira, i'd like to build a portfolio with other sound investments. i may just go to the bookstore and pick up a book on investing, but until then, i'd appreciate any advice.

I have some projects to work on for my finance courses and I would like to be able to have Excel automatically download stock market data instead of me looking it up online and inputting it. I would need historical price data for stocks going back into the past, preferably at least 5 years. How can I do that without paying for some program?

I know that money.msn.com will allow me to download some data into Excel, but it's not good enough. I need historical data.

I want to invest my money and instead of it sitting in my account accruing interest, I want to have access to the interest that I am making off my money. Is there such a thing? I can't touch my 401 K or my IRA and I have a savings account that pays 5%. But is there anything out there aside from stocks (buying low and selling high) that would allow me to generate a little money on a monthly basis?

I want to invest in "an individual deferred combination variable and fixed annuity" from the company ING USA. I'm thinking of putting $80,000 in it with no plans to touch it. I want to leave it to my three kids. I'm 59 years old and in good health. I would still be in very good financial shape without the $80,000.

Suppose you owned a stock for 1 month. In one month, it goes up X %. If you sell it, you must pay a higher tax rate. What is a reasonable % increase to warrant selling at the higher tax rate. If the stock went up 0.01%, then it would not make sense (unless you know the company is going bankrupt the next day). It would be better to hold onto to it and hope it goes up and pay a lower tax rate for holding onto it longer. On the other hand, let's say the stock rockets by 80%. Then, it might be worth it to sell and eat the higer tax rate.

I have tried using the standard calculations set for 3, 6 and 12 months, Where the %K uses the recent close, the lowest low and the highest high over 14 periods, but this doesn't work on a daily basis for me, because you need high, low and close data for every period to make it work. Can anybody help? I can't be the only person trying to do this.....am I?

Is it true that some trading strategies that worked well 20 years ago now don't work, or give much less profits, due to having many people doing the same with the advent of Internet brokers?

For example Zack's and Reuters earnings estimates have lost their snap, even Julian Robertson of Tiger Management and Michael Steinhardt, suffered severe losses in the 90s. John Templeton has had reduced earnings.

Can anyone recommend some free or inexpensive data sources for historical stock info?

In general, I'm looking for daily pricing and volume data for the last 5 years or so, for at least the NYSE stocks, or preferably a broader set of securities. Additional info, including fundamental info on the stocks, would be great too.

I want to download this data and do some analysis on my own PC, so I don't want a site where I have to look up each result on the screen, but rather, somewhere where I can download a bulk set of data in a common, accessible format (XLS, text, etc.)

Free would be best, of course, but I'd be willing to pay a reasonable price if need be.

I have heard that it's good to invest in both the 401K and an IRA. Right now I have the 401K down but need some advise regarding a Roth or Traditional IRA. I'm not exactly sure which would be better to invest in. I would be doing a joint investment with my husband. What are the differences between the two? Any impute would be greatly appreciated!
