Investing - February 2007

i don't usually end up putting all i can into my IRA every year so i was debating on putting up to the 4k into that or maybe starting a mutual fund. i'm just not sure what the advantages and disadvantages they both have.

Would you evaluate the holdings of that Mutual to another Mutual's holding looking at financial statements? Or buy and hold recommendations for top 10 holdings? Or manager and track record and reports of a general market?

at? If I buy stocks with a Roth account through Scottrade, will all proceeds be untaxable from that trading with the Roth accounts? If I trade with money that is not Roth and this is my only earnings for a year, are they considered to be wages and tips so that if I make money from this I could then buy Roths each year from those taxable proceeds? And what would my occupation be on my income tax return doing this?

If you have money in an annuity that is invested in a Mutual Fund and you don't receive dividend distributions because it is in an annuity account, how does the dividend distributions of the invested stocks in that Mutual Fund get put back into the annuity account in that Mutual Fund? Is it done on a monthy basis, a yearly basis, a quarterly basis or is it done at the time of a stock's dividend distribution whether it be monthly or quarterly? So once an individual stock declares a dividend and the Mutual Fund has that as an investment with x amount of shares and so much a share, then is that money then distributed to the Mutual Fund holders immediately per customer account by % holdings in that Mutual Fund at that time?

Correct me if I'm wrong (please do!) but is the yahoo finance "1 yr target est" simply the projected share price this time next year? Are they reliable, and if so it's quite hard to believe because then surely every one would be getting on a good prediction...

I purchase stocks over a period of three years through an employee stock plan. I also reinvested my dividends (DRIP). Every time I had enough money Etrade would purchase a stock for me, usually about one a month. Last June, I sold my stock and now have to report a cost basis for the stocks sold. This is absolutely a nightmare as i have about 36 different trades over the last three years. How on earth do I calculate this . I know about first in/ first out and all the other things you are supposed to do, but I find this impossible. HELP!!!!!!!!!

Ive been saving money for a couple years (Im 19) and right now have a few thousand in CD's at an interest rate of 5.25%. I want to expand the areas Im investing in to include things like mutual funds, bonds etc. What would anyone with experience in investing recommend starting with next? What percentages should be invested in each area? Also Im looking for good long term investment not short term and dont want to spend too much time watching the market (why I dont really want to be involved with stocks) and such because I am too busy with work and school.

Thanks

It will be a better answer if you have a account and speak for experience.

I want to download data to analyze in SAS or SPSS. So tab or comma delimited data files would work for me too. ".csv" files work as well. Basically any format that SAS or SPSS can open.

I really would prefer historical data that goes second by second. Where can I get such data? Is there a way to get it without having to pay large amounts of money?

Do they just sell your shares and give you your money or will they convert them into whatever the new ticker symbol will be?

Please don't respond with "just google it" or finance.google.com or some other financial website. I've already done that, but just like there are "most traded" or "biggest gainers/losers" I would like to see most volatile (over some time period).

I want to start doing some options trading (specifically using a "straddle" strategy) and this data would come in handy.

Only responses with "sources" please, thanks.

The original brokerage firm got acquired by another one. The stocks being held were transferred but the purchase price, commission etc were not.
