Investing - January 2007

I'm so confused

In the Yahoo bond screener, why some bonds have negative yield to maturity?

That means you are sure to lose your money?

tnx

This clown has been downplaying this stock for years and yet it's up 80% last year. Does he just not get how big this will be? I bought this stuff back when it was a penny stock in 02...good thing I didn't listen to him.

Hi...I am a new investor and willing to try my luck with my 15K savings. Here's how I am planning to invest:
$4000 in a Roth IRA with Vanguard Star Fund.
$3000 in T Rowe Price 2040 Retirement fund.
$3000 in Fidelity Balanced Mutual fund.
$2500 in Vanguard 500 Index Mutual Fund
$2500 in HSBC online Savings with 5.05% APY (Emergency Fund)

I plan to add atleast a couple of hundred bucks to each fund every month so that I know my savings are diversified.

How does this look? I am not a risk taker nor have the time to research stocks or buy real estate(my company provides me housing plus utilities). Some have suggested ETF's but since I will be investing small chunks every month the fees will eat up my gains.

Any advice is appreciated. Again I am new to this, so I may seem novice.

They recently annoucned an 18% sales growth, an energy drink partnership with Coke, new management and entry into the Asian markets. Historically earnings have been terrible.

When is it time to buy? Should I wait for the earnings reports?

Morning folks,
I have some UK shares (about 300 pounds worth) I want to sell.
I'm currently living in New Zealand, therefore, my bank in the UK isn't interested, and my bank in NZ wants to charge me about 150 pounds for the transaction. IS there a way around this? Can I give the shares as a "gift to my mother (she's still in the UK)
Thanks,
Shesque

The industry that I feel would outperform other industries is heavy construction. Share your views and why?

More specifically, a Roth IRA.

I need to find out if there's a difference in the various companies that offer IRA's. I assume it depends on where the money will be invested once in the IRA account. Are mutual funds the place to look for my IRA money then???

TYCO Food (TXN) went about 10% or so right after announcing terrible earnings in mid-November. And many analysts have been downgrading the stock since the fall. Can anyone tell me what is going on? I cannot find any reason why it would go down unless there is takeover speculation.

My husband told me to buy 200 shares of Ciena Corp a few years ago. We did at around $9 per share. So that cost about $2 grand. Then the stock went down to a dollar for years! Since then, my husband died unexpectedly at age 36 - and I could use the money back. They did a reverse split - is this even fair? And suddenly we only own 27 shares! It is worth $30 each right now (so I'd be doing well if I had my original 200 shares) - which is only $810 - about half of what I started with. Should I cash out now, or hold on to some miracle hope that it will continue to climb to 60 or 70 bucks per share so I could come closer to getting my money back? This seems so wrong!

I am married with 2 kids under 5 & plan no more. My husband works full time & is studying by correspondence. I am studying by correspondence & a stay at home mum. We are both studying to further our careers and income!We are both 25 own a home which we renovated & is now worth $300,00. We have no debt besides our mortgage which will be paid off in 19 years. We earn $50000 a year & I will return to work in 6 months so our income will increase. We want to know what we should do as our next investment. Everywhere we have asked for advice has said to invest in shares or buy another house. We have no idea what shares even are & are afraid to borrow money against our mortgage to buy another home. Has anyone done any of theese things? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! We live in Australia.

Est ce que quelqu'un pourrait m'expliquer la signification du paragraphe ci apres... "discount rate as a weighted average of debt equity = 9,6%. the residual value is calculated as 10th year NOI increased by 2%. The residual cap rate if 6,6% assumes an equity dividend rate of 5% and the same cost debt, i.e: the mortgage constant of 8% ? Merci pour les explications !!

If you earned US$200 000 a year (tax free), and had no personal debt (apart from a small mortgage on your home), what would you do with your money?
