Sorry I did not make my question clear yesterday.
example:
Price $49,414.72; Face value $50,000: duration 3 months:

The answer is: bond equivalent yield is 5.02% but how is it calculated? Even my financial advisor can only plug it into a computer program.

I am in my late 20s and I hear so many people say get an IRA, 401k, try saving with your bank through mutual funds, or CDs but what do I do? I just started a new job and they offer nothing. My last job had 401k and plans were already mapped out so all I had to do was contribute $100 a month. So now I am looking for ways I can save for retirement but with so many choices, and investment companies which company should I choose and once I find one what route should I take. I do not want to be 65 and still have to work 50 hours. I appreciate any help.

I am a 24 year old investor. I realize that it is probable that in my lifetime I will see this happen. What can investor do to insulate themselves from this and prosper afterwards?

I am also curious to hear your ideas on periodicals, magazines, etc. You may think I would find helpful. Currently, I invest in mostly in mutual funds, but have some CDs, and bonds. I always read all the prospectus I receive, but am curious to learn more about the stock market and learning more about the management of mutual funds.

Thanks.

im just getting the idea of trading options but im still confused a little. agree to buy a commidity for a specific price by a specific time. sounds easy to understand. ok, so i agree to buy GM at 100USD buy august for the option price of 25.00. august comes along and GM is worth 120 USD. i can buy it on the specific date for 100USD and sell the same day for 120 USD? and how about if its not above 100USD, i dont have to buy it right? all i lose is the price of the option? and how much is that usually or does it differ in the commidity. im almost there just need a better understanding. please help thanks

Looking for direction to something published on the subject, or general advice.

When purchasing a simple Stock Option, what method should be used to select which month and which strike price?

Sometimes I feel like it's a guess, having no real knowledge on the subject. Typically follow these self-made rules:
-Stay away from the current month unless it's the 1st week (e.g. I would not buy a Jan Option today with only 1 week to expiration).
-Calculate the premium: For Put contract take Strike less the Ask; for Call take the Strike and Add the Ask -the difference to the current stock price is the premium. $1-$2 premium to control an Option for 2 months seems within reason.

I am new to option market. Please help.

Last week, the stock went straight up. Instead of shorting it, I sold the call option (say 10 calls). Today (few days before the expiration), the stock price drops back down, so does call option. I don't hold any of that stock.

What should I do now? buy back the calls to cover? or buy the real stock at this lower price?

Thanks

In the last 2 years I have moved all of my IRA$ into high yield bond funds that invest in B rated bonds, ARK and HYF.
I am 43 and have $160K currently yielding 9.5% and paying $1,260 per mo., which I reinvest in the funds.
I am contributing about $1,400 per mo. that I invest in HYF, which is currently paying the highest yield
I reason that 9.5% is as good as you might expect from the appreciation from an average collection of equity funds, and at the rate I’m going I will have over $700K in ten years
I think the conventional wisdom of a balanced portfolio of diversified investments with an annual rebalancing seems to be somewhat structured to optimize the maximum amount of trades and therefore commissions for brokers.
And if you consider the meltdown that occurred following 9/11 you realize that timing is very important to the value of ones equity investment.
I’m comfortable we the choices I’m making but would love to hear input from anyone who thinks there are huge holes in my plan
