I am 20 years old and in college. I am already thinking ahead to my retirement. By the time I get out of school a year and a half from now I expect to have $30,000 saved up and $45,000 in loans to pay off. I will not need a car for at least 5 years, probably won't need one for like 8 years so thats not a problem. Where should I put my money to get the most out of it?

I know shorts are shares somebody borrows from a bank when they think a stock is declining and then they sell the shares at a lower price and give them back to the bank. I'm interested in getting set up to do this, do brokerage firms do this also? Thanks

People at work have been complaining that the companys retirement plan sucks. We have 403b matching up to 3% and they put another 3percent without us having to do anything. Most people don't do it. All they have to do is open the accound and they get 3 percent free but they don't.
Now they are asking the company for 401k plans and the company refused saying we already have a really good plan and you can do it on your own if you want.

So why do they think 401K plans are so great? I'm thinking it is just them being stupid.

I am currently a fresh graduate with an economics degree. I couldn't decide which job offer to accept, the tough choice is between working for a well known international bank in the consumer or corporate banking department, or to train as a futures and derivatives trader with a small firm. The reward from the futures and derivatives trader position is fantastic but i understand there's a high amount of risk involved as well, therefore high risk-reward position.

While nobody can predict the future, I can not think of a reason that these markets, both develped and developing will not continue to do well. What are people with financial/economic backgrounds predicting will happen with these markets?
