Investing - August 2007

I've grown tired of the get rich quick schemes littered on t.v. , radio and the internet, so I figured why not ask people who might have a better insight and give truthful aswers without trying to sell me something.

I know how to play their game but so many DON'T. The only problem, you never know if this will turn into a bear market or just a normal 10-15% correction. I think it really is like the organized mob. There are so many crooks out there.....What say you?

I am thinking about opening a brokerage account. This is sort of a three question in one question, but: 1). What would be the minimum for a brokerage account? 2). What would be the best firm to open this account with and 3). If heard a lot about trading in currencies, are people allowed to trade currencies in these accounts?

I have about $55,000 in a portfolia managed by advisory services for mutual funds. I am retired and only reinvest the dividends and interest. I use this money for emergencies or extras only. Should I use an advisory service or stop paying these high frees. How could I invest in another service or what could I invest in? I don't have very much knowledge in investing, as you probably can tell.

Hi,
I'm currently 20 years, i wanna start thinking of my future etc. I'm still in college but i want to start investing for my long run. Icici bank (international bank) pays 9.5% interest on 365 term deposit which i think is really good compare to other banks here in Canada. I'm not sure how I'm going to do this so this is why I'm asking. so i have few questions.
I basically want to put $300/month for next 30-40 years. if i keep adding $300 for 30 years I'm looking for about $553,342. after interest etc. This number is based on 9% interest. it would be easy to determine how much it would be exact if it was a savings account. but since this is a term deposit how will it work out? Like Should i save $300 until end of the year and put it all at onces or can i still put $300 in my previous term deposit.
Not sure how to explain this.

Recently I saw Lethal Weapon 2 on tv. There is a scene in which Danny Glover and Mel Gibson find a bag full of drug money in a cargo container. Danny Glover picks up a wad of cash and says "I can put my kids thru college with this." Mel Gibson turns to Danny Glover and states "why don't you take it...do something good with it." Of course Glover refuses. If you were Glover, would you honestly take it???

Should I double up on this stock ?

This is an equity buyout company much like Blackstone. But unlike Blackstone * fig (Fortress) has made several good buys and has equity of their own but....

_ (yahoo finance)_
Fortress Investment Group (FIG - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr) was one of the few losers of the day, after some bad publicity in The Wall Street Journal. The hedge fund and investment management firm slipped 20 cents to $17.64 after the Journal reported subprime mortgage lending companies it owned were foreclosing on 34 New Orleans homes. The news proved embarrassing for Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, a frequent critic of lenders foreclosing on Hurricane Katrina victims, who worked for Fortress after leaving the U.S. Senate in 2005.

Hey any suggestions will be very much appreciated/.

I currently have £1000 in Premium Bonds that I have had since my Mom and Dad bought them for me 3 years ago, so far I have won nothing.

I was listening to Jeremy Vine on BBC Radio 2 one Friday afternoon and they where talking about Premium Bonds and too things are puzzling me:

Martin Lewis was saying, when you buy Premium Bonds, the bond value starts to shrink and the bonds only stays in the draw for 12 months.

I hope someone here can explain to me how bad this shrinking is for Premium Bond holders?
Also I’m confused about the bonds only been entered into the draw for 12 months, does this mean that I should get my money back and cash them in as soon as possible?

Oh and everyone, Martin Lewis (I think that’s his name) talked about his website called MoneySavingExpert.com which has a Premium Bond calculator somewhere if anyone is interested?

Well thanks everyone and any advice regarding Premium Bonds will be much appreciated.

As with any investment, I understand there are risks. However, I am seriously considering taking the online training course offered by Forex on Currency Trading. It seems too easy to make money and I believe there must a catch. I'm only going to invest what I can afford to LOSE! But I would love to hear from someone already trading or have traded!

There is a company called Nutracea and there stock is currently at 1.93 .

I have tried websites where you have to pay for a subscription to post a request and hope that someone replies, but never had any luck. Where can I go to find an Angel Investor without having to pay a subscription? Also, all I ever get are these people claiming to have a bank and can offer loans with a security deposit.. but we all know they all are scammers. I need to find money to invest in real estate sometime around Janurary or Feburary. Property will have a quick turn-around and high profits. Again, where can I find lagitimate Angel Investors..?? (I will report those that I think are inposters trying to scam me)

such a huge fraud, should have been under review and prediction by InterPol since months ago. Although their identification is not clear to members and investors, it could be easily found out because all those wire transfers they do, requires a real identification in the source bank. I think they are going to be back again soon
