Investing - April 2007

Ok, I am asking all you money geniuses out there. I don’t have a lot of money, but I want my money to make money for me. I need some tips on what type of investments to make. What is the best choice, IRA vs. Roth IRA? Bonds or stocks? What about investments where I can make some quick cash (i.e. short term investments.) Any information that you can provide would be helpful, please help!

My husband and I are interested in investing and establishing a good retirement (we are 26 and 28). We have no clue of where to begin. We are enrolled in the normal retirement plan that jobs automatically enroll you into, but we want to have a larger amount for retirement in about 30-40 years.

I have been offered a job to work for a small business franchise (home inspections) and then have the option of being a partner after 2 yrs.

How do you determine a franchise's value?
Do you use today's value or the value in 2 yrs?

My concern is that my contribution will make it more valuable and thus cost me more when I have the option to buy in.

Any other suggestions along this line would be great.

Thanks.

For a class project a group of us need to do a presentation on a company that uses commodity options in their business using real date on that company. They must use at least two types of derivitives. Manufacturing or farming would be my top choice, but it is hard finding out what they are actually buying and selling (as far as the actual products). Any ideas for a resource?

Should I sell now & take profit or wait for it to go up more? But I don't really need that $800 yet I still have enough savings.

I'm not even sure the IRS cares about such a small amount, but here goes:

I received 48 shares of stock over the space of about 6 months in 2000/2001 from my company (not on an ESPP, as a bonus). These shares sat there until 10/2005, when the company went through an 8:1 reverse split -- then I had 6 shares.

In 03/2006, the company was bought out and I received a few bucks for the shares. Now I have to report it. They want a cost basis. Here is what I can figure out:

* 21 shares given to me on 10/25/00 -- I have no idea what the value was, but my statement for the end of that month prices the shares at $27.13

* 27 shares given to me on 04/24/01 -- again, not sure of the value on that day, but the statement for the end of that month values the shares at 15.68

Averaging the shares out leaves me with a price of 21.41 -- my question is, do I use this price as the cost basis, or am I supposed to multiply it by 6 (my reverse split share total) and use *that* number?

I am an options trader who enjoys selling equity options for income. I know the risks and everything so spare me. I just want to get professional traders opinions and maybe even some traders who have successfully implemented this strategy.

If I’m planning to retire early (45-50), is it better for me to max out my 401k now and pay the 10% penalty when I begin withdrawing early? Or is it better to invest the extra money in a taxable brokerage account that won’t charge penalties upon withdrawal?
