I dont want to play the stock market myself and I can't afford to lose too much of this money.

If you think CD's are the best choice where can I find the CD that pays the highest rate?

THANKS

Not even sure the question makes sense and have a limited knowledge of how investments work. My quarterly statement from an account with an investment advisor shows my rate of return in a diversified mutual fund portfolio for a 5 year period and it's always lower than a comparative index. 5 points lower for the current year and less than one for the 5 year period. Net of 12.94 for the 5 years is good but should I be getting better from the advisor? Question may be too vague to answer but wanted thoughts from those more knowledgable on investing. Thank you.

I know that what I want a roth-IRA and I have a bit of money to start it off, but I'm confused as to which company to go to as well as what to look for when choosing a company. I've scoured the internet and there don't seem to be any clear, concise guides to this.

So...
1. Which company would you recommend using to open a Roth-IRA?
2. What should I look for when choosing a company? (How will they invest my money differently?)
3. What happens once I open it? Does the company do all the work or do I have to monitor stocks and bonds and constantly be "trading" in order for my investment to grow.

Thanks for your help!

I'm thinking about opening some retirements accounts and contribute very modestly. What would be better, to have a 457 and a roth IRA and contribute a little to both or just one of these and contribute more? I'm talking here about the regular conservative accounts not the aggressive investing. and I plan on leaving it there until I retire and then take out the whole thing.

when a company files for bankruptcy, what does that mean for its common stock? will the company fold and remove itself from the market or is it a temporary status where the company will come back and, ideally, become profitable again?

A friend of mine just inherited $25,000 from a family member. Let me sum up the friend for you: 38 yrs old and generally can't get his act together. Employed, but not at a very well paying job, lives with a roommate, no vehicle. Horrible credit.

I think he should spend just a few thousand on a reliable vehicle, get his credit cleaned up, put a couple thousand in an emergency fund, and put the rest in an account for retirement. Is this good advice?

AHM share price is now at $0.44, and went down like $10 in the past week. Can experienced investors give me advice as to if it would be a good investment right now to purchase this stock. Or does it mean that now since they declared bankruptcy that the stock is worthless, and will soon dip to zero??

Advice on this example and other similar companies that are priced so cheaply will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Here is my example.
A guy who is in charge of the news, lets say FOX.... gathers people who have totalled up how much money they have spent at starbucks over an entire year. He decides to short the stock before the news goes out, and has they people showing $2000 spent on Starbucks, or $5000, then someone comes up and shows them a machine that could have 90% of the costs... THis is just an example...

As a young, first time investor, I want to make sure that I find a group with great service, who are willing to REALLY explain options. I am hoping to find a company familiar with my demographic, and who won't scoff at the admittedly small amount I have to start with. Thank you!!
