Investing - February 2007

I understand how implied volatility works, but the one aspect I am unclear on is whether all options for an underlying move together as implied volatility changes. For example, I have seen the implied volatility at a one-year low for near-term options, yet the longer term options are somewhat higher (40% instead of 30%, for example). How does this actually work?

Minister Peter Popoff distributes "Miracle Water" which has several important applications, including financial relief. I am proposing that investors in SCO Group (Nasdaq: SCOX) order the water and apply its magical powers in an effort to materialize evidence in SCO's suit against IBM. Has anybody had success using Miracle Water in commercial applications such as this or is it strictly a consumer oriented product?

I'm thinking of going, but from looking around it sounds like there are other ways at doing just as well?

I was looking in Vanguard there is a Windsor II fund and a Wellington Fund I don't mind investing in but is it worth it? I see over a 10 year (97-07) that you have the potential of double in each....the risk has low flucuations... but i mean what will an initially 20K to 40K be worth? In other words, what will 40K be worth in 10 years?

What if you buy a tax lien and the owner does not redeem it. Also lets say that you don't want the property, you just want a return on your money and maintain no liability with that investment. Is that possible?

I'm currently using a full service broker for my Roth IRA's, If I did fund research myself would it make that much difference to use a different service such as a premium or discount broker?
