Let's say you bought a put option and decide to exercise it at some point. Since you are in theory selling shares of stocks you borrowed (from the broker I assume???) is there a chance that those shares will not be available to be sold when you go to exercise it? Or will your put always be executed?

I know people can invest money in stocks and bonds, but what exactly is done on Wall Street? And why do they report the Dow Jones ups and downs everyday? I've never understood it. Can someone explain please? Like what do those traders do too?

Let's say you owned 4 shares of XYZ corp. The shares are valued at $50 per unit. Total worth is $200 (4 shares x $50). Let's say the stock does a 2 for one split. You now have 6 shares. However, after a split the price goes down per share. Now, it's worth $33.33 per share. Now, let's say you decide to sell one share. Come tax time, how do you list the original buy price and sell price?

Buy = $50
Sell = $33.33

It looks like you lost money but you really didn't.

Let's say XYZ company missed earnings for the quarter and investors are disappointed. So, most likely they will try to get rid of the stocks of XYZ (at least for short-term period). Why would the other investor buy those stocks, knowing that others don't want them because of missed earnings? Question might look very banal, but I just wanted to know. Sorry for my ignorance.

I have researched the stock and it is currently a "moderate buy" and is anticipated to have about a 10% gain this year. I love the new iMac and think that will be a huge plus for the company.

With this jumpy market I was going to put in a buy with a market limit. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm a young working computer professional with a growing investment portfolio. I take most of my financial adviser's advice on what funds to pick, but he's put a substantial amount of my investment money into Asian mutual funds. Given some the geopolitical issues with China and Chinese products (China's growing military spending, North American trade deficits, China's poor environmental policy, and a growing track record of unsafe/dangerous products -- toothpaste, pet food, toys, etc, etc), I've gotten to the point where I consider holding these investments to be, at best, somewhat unethical. This is not a financially motivated question; It's an ethical one. I would like some advice/guidance on what would be good investments into North American companies dedicated to developing the products and technology of greener future. I'm still looking for returns on my investments dollars, but I'd like to know I'm part of the solution, not the problem. What are the right investments for me?

your opinion, is the current drop of 1000 for the DOW a symptom of failed Republican policy of the last few years or is it unavoidable and just part of a natural cycle? You must address the national debt and current Admin. policy

My wife and I want to begin to save for a home, and we realize it will take us a couple of years before we are ready to buy a home. While saving our money we are thinking that investing it in some mutual funds might help us reach our goal quicker, so my question is what style of mutual funds should we invest in? Growth, conservative, moderate, ect?

I recently opened a margin account, in order to increase my trading power, however with the interest that is charged, I am wondering if it is worth it for long term investments, or if it is only good for the short term?
