Hi... need some advise... I'm not familiar with this share thingy. My dad has retired and his existing shares were transferred to a CDP account under his name. (Btw, he himself is not sure how to play with the share stuff and cant remember when he signed up for it.. ComfortDelgro shares)

My question, how is he going to sell the existing shares he still having? What is the process involved ?

I guess my question is why are people freaking out about sub prime mortgages, and why would they sell shares because of it?

Thanks for the answers people!

I know these two commodities don't trade completely correlated, but I've seen oil go over $78, and gasoline in my area has done nothing but fall the past few months. We're at about $2.55 here in DFW, TX. What's up with this?

I have owned bonds before, and always held them to maturity, there is one part about bonds though where I always struggle with.
say for instance when a bond is issued yielding 5%, and interest rates go to 6%, does the bond price go higher or lower, I know this is a silly question, but somehow my brain does not get this.

My friend said if i put my money in insurance, they will invest it in mutual funds. Even losing money, they will still pay me 1 percent of interest + my original money. Is this possible? That means I wont losing money even the price of mutual fund i invest in is falling? or is this a lie? Wikipedia says WFG requires an initial deposit of only $30,000 to gain access to their actively managed funds, what does that mean? Isn't just
paying the 100 dollar back ground check to start out or initiallly havng to put 30,000 in the account? Sincerely

Earnings rose 93% for the quarter, beating analyst estimates. Yet the stock has been on a steady decline from $165 per share on July 30 to a current $130 ($129 in after hours). I don't understand. The yearly trend has been a steady rise. Is the subprime mortgage crisis to blame?

=( I purchased shares at $137.98..

I understand the law of supply and demand, so that when more people want to buy, the price goes up and vice versa. But what makes people want to buy???

For example, I think Company A has a good idea for a product. Why do I buy their stock? Just in hopes other people will want it in the future and be willing to pay more for it?

Do dividends make a company more enticing to buy? Do all companies give dividends?

Is there a ratio between the stocks a company has and its earnings? Is this the P/E ratio? How do I interpret the P/E ratio? what are its units?

I will be starting my first year of college in about two weeks and I wanted to know the best way to invest my funds. I practically have no expenses except for day to day food. I have a full ride scholarship to my university which covers my tuition and books.

I will be receiving about 3,500 excess financial aid EACH SEMESTER which basically goes to my pocket. ($2000 of it is pell grant and $1,500 is a federal stafford subsidised loan) the reason I got the loan even though i didnt need it is because i figured i can invest it, along with the pell grant money in a CD or high intrest savings account (since i wont be incurring interest on it until i graduate) My question is how specifically should i invest my money? Should i put it all in a CD? or maybe a HSBC savings account (5.05 % APY) what about mutual funds, stocks, anything else?

I know many will say to invest in all of the above, but how much should i invest in each?

Thanks A Lot!

Many private equity deals have been made with highly leveraged capital structures dependent upon large amounts of debt. Is the nature and risk of such LBO debt adequately reflected in ratings by current bond ratings and rating agencies or is the risk underestimated and the ratings overestimated, making such debt eligible for purchase by bond yield funds whose overall risk has thereby increased?
