Investing - January 2007

I have the time to oversee my portfolio so I don't want to hand over my money to a fund manager. I am acceptable of risk (I have 30+ years until retirement), but need to know what a decent portfolio should look like for someone my age. Should I go all small-cap? Should I go all international? Thanks!

Ok so after 2 months I now get a response from my broker saying that the legal counsel for the issuer of stock will not write an opinion letter to remove the restriction because according to them the issue has not been public long enough for them to have enough history of performance and reporting to form an opinion. I don't know what the normal way of things are, but this seems to me like a lame excuse and irrelevant to the rules. I've upheld my end of the bargain by waiting 12+ months before doing this, and I think they should uphold their end as well, and not try to find ways to impede it. My question is...what can I do? If I go and get my own lawyer, will this solve the problem and they can't stand in the way? Or am just screwed? I believe they ultimately have the last word on this unfortunately, but I am not sure. I know that my broker or transfer agent can't do anything without this letter of opinion. Someone please help!!!!!!!! Thanks.

Does anyone know exactly how much money the government takes from early withdrawl of your retirment funds, I'm in my 40's. I need the cash but want to roll some over too. Let's say I took out 35-60K, Is there any way to get around all the penalty's, Most of this money I get will be for paying debts/creditors, so is there anyway to pay them with out being penalized? Is there a better way to take your retirement funds?

How to invest in Pre IPO companies

2007-01-31 02:47:02 · 3 answers · asked by ko k 1

Several years ago, I was given a substantial amount of stock by the company I work for. The company is in the process of being bought out by a group of investors, and I was given the option of either selling my shares now, or keeping them. I'm afraid that if I sell them, and the company continues to do well, I will lose out in the long run. But I also feel that if I don't sell, I may be "blacklisted" by these new investors.
My boss didn't tell me outright (because he is not allowed to, by law), but he "suggested" that it would "probably" be in my best interest to sell. What should I do?

I have been offered several times this kind of investment by several friends but i still do not understand how. Let's say in US$ dollar, for example, what i only need to do is to put several amounts of money (minimum $500) in the company, then this company will return this amount plus the profits in 9 months which the total should be around $1100. Also, the company will give us the interest in every 2 weeks around $20.
