I believe we are heading for a recession in the next year, or at least very slow growth. With the housing market soft, what should I invest in to look for growth.

I would figure investing in companies or sectors that people must buy, like food staples or household consumables like paper. Any ideas?

With the volatility of the market these days, is it better for me to put it into a CD with a guaranteed return of at least 5%, or do you believe the market will improve enough that I can do more?
What type of account should I open, if I do decide not to use a CD?

Whether inheritance or lottery, how do you know who to trust with your money? In small towns people will talk. To remain annonymous, who do you trust to handle your money properly? Yes, this is hypothetical, but probable too. A regular bank would not work, a local lawyer seems to 'local'. Its scary when you know people will want to take advantage of your good fortune. For this future philanthropist, I need advise!

Assuming that I find an attractive stock with potential to go up (based on past performance), how do I read that company's financial information (ie. cash flow, debt, assets, dividends) to decide if the company's doing well? For example, I've read several times that X company is a good buy because the price/share is low but they have X million in cash and very little debt.
I usually go to Yahoo Finance for any company stock information. How can I read the Financial section and interpret all that stuff?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am starting university in approximately 1 week and I currently have ~$20k saved up ($10k from working and $10k from an educations savings fund). I am looking to invest $10k of this for approx 2 years. $10k should be enough to get me through the first two years of university as I have been given a scholarship covering most of the tuition costs and I will be living at home during this time without rent. Also I will probably make over $3k during my summer vacation between the first and second year so money putting away $10k is a wise choice imo. I would be very appreciative of your opinions on how I should invest this.

Thank you,
Matt.

If you own more than half, do you then have more control over it, or get to make decisions as well?

When looking for stocks to invest in, why would you want to buy stocks with a high P/E ratio? A low P/E ratio means a company charges less for shares and earns more per share than, say, a company with a high P/E ratio. Why would you be attracted to companes with high P/E's, doesn't that mean you pay an arm and a leg for shares that dont make as much?

When the price of a stock is given at the end of the day on a friday, is it the same when the market re-opens on a monday morning and if not then why is there a change?

Are there any websites or literature (newspapers) that actually educate people with little information such as this and others regarding stocks and shares?

Thank You x
