Investing - February 2007

They keep bombarding me with their sales promotions literature and they write very convincingly.

They claim they have developed a computer formula which predicts both short term and long term stock market movements with 99.89% accuracy!

Incidentally they are now predicting we shall soon have the mother of all bear markets. Sell up chaps, while the going is good.

I believe in the company, I think it is one of the best in the world and always will be (MER). I am very young and plan to retire with the company. By accumulating as much stock now, and then diversifying as I get older, I can take advantage of huge long term single stock returns.

Sure it could have down years of 10% (but average cost basis, I almost want that to happen) if you look at charts on the long term by decades, single stocks seem the way to go if you have a time horizon of 40+ years.

With people like Jim Cramer or the "latest reports" from CNBC adverising network or the latest predictions by some highly paid journalists or analysts , how common is the "bubble" situations in the stock game?

what is your defense or argument against this assumption?

First of all how is it possible that everybody can just sell their stocks at the same time?
Who is buying them?, when they know that they will probably drop even further or are worthless almost?
If everybody went to sell their US bonds tommorrow , who would buy them back? Where would they get the money?
Just the same as a company , how does that company pay back the money given to it by share holders if everybody wants to sell?

What are some inexpensive stocks that have the potential to grow? It's ok if they are a bit risky because I'm not planning on spending more money than I can stand to lose and I just want to have some fun and see what happens. Thanks for your suggestions.

I am 20 years old, with about 10,000 dollars saved in the bank. I know the golden rule for all investors is "the younger you are the bigger the risk you should take" since you have all the years ahead of you to make up for any losses, if any. I want to know how to make the most of my money instead of just letting it sit in the bank and let it go to waste. I was thinking of diversifying my money in the stock market but I don't know enough about it to take that risk....

I looked at these websites and there is way too much reading materials. One of my friend directed me to etrade but they charge about $8 to $10 per trade, that's instane!!! I want something where I can my stocks when it goes up $2 and I want to sell it when it goes down $2, it is as simple as that. If I am going to pay brokers that much fees then I won't create any profits. Any suggestions?

I have learned my lesson. I've been trying to pay down my unsecured debt for a year with consecutive payments, and I want to open a Roth IRA and hopefully one day, I can use it to retire, buy my first home, or education. The problem is I still have bad credit (probably for next 7 years but with debt paid), and I want to know:

are there ANY companies I can open up a Roth IRA account with my type of credit?

I have a T.Rowe Price 401K account from work and I contribute 6% and my company matches that. I looked at the forms/paperwork for the TRowe Price Roth IRA and in the fine print it indicated that they will pull my consumer reports.

I asked some people about this question before. But their reply doesn't give me the answer I want. I just want to know who is the final person or group to decide the value of share for stock. Is it the Stock market or the company of that stock?

I know that you can lose money as well as gain when dealing in stocks and shares. My bank offers a a service for trading. What is the best way for me to get into buying/selling stocks and shares? Would I be better off using a broker who will take care of everything for me?

If i'm prepared to take the risk would it be better for me to invest money this way rather than sitting in a savings account?

Thanks
