I recemtly started investing in Shares, my decisions are based on TV Analysis and co- worker suggestion. However i am skeptical about it. I do not feel contented about the way i invest my money . I have a few questions.
1, What determines the value of a stock. ( I think it's demand ,and financial performance of the company does not really matter ...Is that true.. )

2, Past Super mega performnace of a stock does not gurantee a level of security for the futur yeilds.How can we decide wether to invest in such stocks.

3, Are the TV guys really reliable. Becoz a lot of mnipulation can be done if the demand of a stock is huge ( I mean the dirty game )

Me and my girlfriend are going with an idea to open an account together and put money into it until we decide to get married. We both want marriage so we figure y not do somethin now until we get to that point to help out. The money isn't for nothing specific yet possibly honeymoon money, house down payment, who knows. What would be a good way to go about saving this money, just open a regular savings account or something different like a c.d or something? We plan to make like a ten dollar deposit every time each of us gets paid and put more in whenever we want to.

I have a mutual fund and just noticed I received capital gains (which were automatically reinvested) on it at the end of the year. I thought realized capital gains were the result of selling, which I did not do. Can someone explain to me how this works? I'm new to investing and am trying to figure it all out.

My friends recently picked up this investing book, and now, even though they have not ever invested a nickle, pick on me all the time for investing in mutual funds. Mine are pretty good--no load, low cost and my returns have been nice over the last three years. I have three, one agressive, one conservitive and an IRA. My friends quote me this book constantly--"Only 4% of mutual funds beat market since 1985", and "Funds are a scam". Me, I have a family, full time job and hobbies--I really dont need the exta time and stress sitting on Ameritrade. They are being such snobs, and its bugging the heck out of me. Are Funds that bad? Can I somehow get through my life without ever having to do stocks myself? Thanks!!

I started using sharebuilder.com and noticed that my fees for purchasing two stocks were $8.00. I'm new to the market and I had only put $80 in to begin with. That would mean my stocks need to make $8.00 before I start getting any profit. I heard about firsttrade.com and BuyandHold.com also. I've seen a few threads but I'm wondering if anyone has had noticed smaller fees with one more than another.

Are there any online sites where I can set up an account to buy stocks, bonds, notes, ect. if I am under 18. I would like to do this without having to pay too much for commissions and what not, and don't want to have my parents name on the account because I am planning on using money that they don't know about.

Ok...be gentle, newbie here! Do real money investors use this tool to actually play the stockmarket. I mean, besides the 20 min delay, it is pretty accurate.

It almost feels like your cheating....am I not understand??

Thanks for explaining.
