I am trying to get into stock market. However, I know little about them. I just finished reading Understanding Wall Street by Jeffrey B. Little and I sort of got the main idea, unfortunately, the details did no settle in. Would anyone (with experience) be able to tell me good books to read for further understanding of the topic? I am a visual learner (I have to visualize how everything works and connects in order to learn in a fast and best manner) and REAL life examples in the book also help dramatically. Please help.

it is safe to buy high yield bonds from the U.S. goverment? i thought high yield bonds are only offer when the issuer don't have much credibility so he/she raise the interest rate to attract investor. therefore, why does the U.S. government offer high yield bonds to investor when their credibility is already good?

I'm looking for an item of any sort which can easily be bought and resold without significant loss of value. Does anyone know of any stock broker companies that allow you to buy stocks with either paypal or credit card? Preferably, the item would be something like a stock or e-money or something else which could be purchased online and sold online, and costs $5,000 or less.

My Son is 7, so I'm thinking about college for him. I have no idea on what to start doing now to prepare for college. Should the desired rate of return be lower than 6% or higher? And what does that mean actually?

Take the current amount you have in your checking or savings account. Suppose you have a choice of keeping your money for five years in a savings account with a 2% interest rate, or in a five year certificate of deposit with and interest rate of 4.5%. Calculate how much interest you would earn with each option over five years time with continuous compounding.
A = Ce^RT My total money in the bank is 2100 dollars in round figures. Since the formula for the continuous compounding is A=Ce^RT where C is the initial deposit or capital, T for time, R is the rate of interest and A will be the final amount.
Capital = 2100, Interest Rate ( R) = 2% Time (T) = 5 years, e = 2.7182818284
When money kept for five years in a savings account with a 2% interest rate:
By using the values into formula:= 2100 e ^(0.02*5) = 2318.57
Interest earned = 2318.57 – 2100 = 218.57 dollars
Five year certificate of deposit with interest rate of 4.5%.So A = Ce^RT 2100e^4.5*5=2680.19 - 2100=$516.98

5% isn't really that big of a change....just 5 cents for every dollar. I see stocks everyday that have increased 5 to 10%. I just want to know how hard is it to pick these stocks.....what are things to look for? I don't want to be a day-trader...rather a week-trader. Say I invest $30,000 in a stock, I would that it goes up 5% in a week, so I can make $1500/week.

I'm 32 years old with 793 Credit Rating.. I'm renting out my home for 2800 bucks.. which is 1000 above the mortgage. Should I put the 2800 I earn on the rent towards the principal? so my total mortgage payment is $4600? If I did, I would pay off my house by August 2012. I'm living in the Philippines right now with only $1700mo comfortably. What should I do with my extra money??? Pay off my house first? then Invest like a madman??
