Investing - March 2007

How do I document the sale and sell shares of a company purchased more recently for a short term capital loss instead of selling my longest held shares in the company for a long term capital loss? I am interested to make sure I document this properly for tax purposes and sell the shares I purchased most recently through my online brokerage account.

Sometimes when I go to the mall or when i'm walking around I look at everyone.. and when i see all the people I say to myself "everybody has a story." It fascinates me. The mailman. The bus driver. The cashier. The asian lady doing my eyebrows. The homeless man i see everyday walking home...
everybody has a story of there own. A story to tell.Thats' why i tend not to judge. Everybody does something for a reason. And everybody has a story. 6 billion stories...I am a teen who is lost... Knows what they want for the future (want to be a filmaker) but doesn't know how to accomplish it. Been through the worst things anybody can imagine. Poverty.Molestation.Homelessne... what's your story?

Hi, I'm just finishing up my first year at university and I want to get a little start on investing in, most likely, a mutual fund. I'm wondering what the minimal weekly contribution would be. Would 50-100 get me anywhere? I know it's not a lot of money, and I won't see much of a return on an amount like that. I just want to get a start for when I can actually go in head first. I'm looking for a mutual fund with a decent background and a lot of risk as I'm young and won't miss my money all too much.

So basically, what is the minimal contribution and where should I look? Am I better off with a savings account? Is ING still the best for that? Thanks.

Is there any Kind Soul in this forum who can help me setup a simple FOREX trading system.

This effort is intended to give job and meal for the lower class in under developed world.

I expect that the system is considerably simple to operate and give consistent return per week.

Thats all I think. Thank you in advance

I just recently became 20% vested in my company, and they opened up a profit sharing account for me with a 401(k) option. I will be leaving in the summer of 2008 because I will be going to Graduate school, but by then I will be 40% vested. I am wondering how much I should contribute, if any, to this plan even though I am leaving. I am also wondering if I should invest aggressively, moderately, or conservatively. I know that the yonger you are the more aggressive you should invest, but I am unsure now since I am leaving in a year.

Hello I am putting togethor a project for a company. I am trying to determine if the project should be undertaken with equity (such as a common stock issuing) or if it should be done with debt financing. Here are some of the statistics I have put togethor.
I need 120 million dollar either from equity or debt.
-My IRR is 24.76%, the Wacc of the company under the current situation is 20.46%
-I determined that if I issue stock my equity would increase by 120 million, which would cause my Wacc to go up to around 20.51%.
-The company currently has roughly 98% equity and 2% debt.
-I also determined that if I decide to take on the project with debt financing my Wacc would be roughly 16.77%.
-The NPV of my project under the equity method is around 10.2 million dollars. The NPV under the debt method is around 21.4 million dollars.
From what my data is showing taking on the lower Wacc (debt financing) seems to optimize my NPV. Does my data seem to make sense? Any advice thanks!!!
