ok, i bought pfizer stocks like a week ago worth 500 bucks. im just 18 and i want to keep those stocks for like until im 40-50 and every month im thinking about buying some more. how could i lose money if i dont sell them any time soon? i just want the dividens. i always here people saying it's easy to lose money in the stock market, but that is only true if you are buying and selling right?
i invested like 1500 in mutual funds, and i thought to invest some money in a more risky investment, which i think stock is more risky than mutual funds. i have absolutely no idea what i am doing, but so far from dividens from my mutual funds i made a little bit more than 100 bucks, which is pretty cool since i didn't do anything and got 100 bucks. am i going to lose my 2000 dollars (and maybe more in the future) easily even though i'm not going to buy and sell, just collect dividens?

Please share your opinions. I am thinking it will dip a little bit starting in June and rise again late fall.

I saw the recent consumer reports on online brokers and noticed that firstrade was rated the highest. Was wondering if anyone has experience with them or with online brokers in general.

I'm a collegestudent and look to start investing small and had originally looked at scottrade which was rated 5th on the consumer reports list.

Thanks for the help.

I have a business which is in the startup stages (location has been acquired). There is an investor that wants to invest in my business. Does he set the terms or do I? I also need him to sign a non-disclosure, which is not a problem. The problem is with the non-competition contract, as he states the non-compete agreement might be premature since we haven't really had a formal agreement on a partnership nor received an investor term sheet. Please help!! I want to protect myself as well as my business!

My boyfriend is going for an interview with a land investment company but, after working for a company previously that didn't seem legit, I am dubious!

I was wondering if there was a land investment regualtor - like there is the fsa for stock broking and stuff, to see if companies are registered, is there somewhere where I can do a check on this company?

I am sorry if I sound silly but I am completely thick on the subject!!

The company is called Commercial Land and the website is www.commercialland.biz - I just don't want him to end up in a dodgy company again where they might waste his time and mess him around!!

Would appreciate any advice!! Thanks

Inheriting stock in the family business that hasn't performed well. Prefer to sell, since I'm not involved, but the majority share holder says he nor the company will buy the stock. No other shareholders are interested in buying either, since they plan on selling also.

With Social Security slowly going under and the cost of living going up, I'm beginning to think about retirement and how old I should be when I start to invest. I'm just entering my twenties and it seems like the distant future, but as we all know, you should be prepared.

I've asked some of my "more mature" co-workers and they said that investing now would be wise, while all my friends say to live life and worry about it later.
I would like to know what you think. Should I invest now or later? How should I invest? Any tips?

looking at both Yahoo's and MSN's profile of the company FLIR, both sites claim that insitutional ownership in the company is at >116-118% !
How is that possible?
I know there's a lag between large mut funds reporting, or is this due to short term trading? Or error on both sites? Any clues?

I had a really bad experience with E-Trade. What is a company that you can trust with your money, that doesn't have any hidden fees, including maintenance fees, and has a relatively low price per trade?

I'm interested in "leveraged indexes" (ex., SSO) that imitate the general movement of the stock market with increased power. However, if the market plummets, I'm twice as in trouble as I'd normally be.

I know that predicting the market is a difficult if not impossible task, but are there any early "warning signs" to warn me of an upcoming recession?

Historically, how many times have corrections (10% drop in the market) turned into a true, full-blown recession (20% drop or more in the market)?

Thanks for your help!
