I would like to open up a CD account and I am unsure of what a good rate is. I only want to invest between 3-$500 and for possibly a 6 month term. Is this unreasonable?


Also, I am looking to open a savings account that will also accrue interest and I am having trouble finding high rates. B of A offered me one that requires a $300 minimum and the interest rate is .02% APY. Isn't this ridiculously low? I spoke with an associate and she told me it is compounded daily and paid out every month. So if I deposited $300 would I be accruing only 60 cents per YEAR??? I hope I am misunderstanding these rates.

Please advise!

Just recently, i took a hard look at myself. I realized that i dont have any special skill that other people might have. I dont have anything that i am really good at.

I'm a finance student. Will be graduated in 2 years. I dont know where will i ended up after that. I dont think i am knowledgable to work in any financial institution either. What i know about my study are those from the book, which cant apply to the real world situation. (especially investment). I've took a investment class but i still dont know how to invest money in the reality.

But i am not completely worst, coz i know a little bit of everything. But a litte bit of everything wont be able to make a living from that right?

Please comment on the person like me.

My CD only earns 4.65% and after taxes it is dissapointing. I just don't want to loss any of my pricipal so I tend to stay out of the stock market. Where can I find the kind of investment that earns 8-10% interest and the principal is secure?

I have $6,000 I want to invest, but I only have 8 months before I need to pull this money, and its profit (hopefully) out for a down payment on a mortgage (i'm not suggesting this will be all the money I put down,but follow me along here). My question is should I invest in a mutual fund (is 8 months enough to see profitability?), stocks (i have a few in mind), or maybe even a 5% annual yield savings account ? Suggestions from those who actually know

i know that they split the shares, but what are the effects of that on the stock itself? I just looked at some charts of stocks and saw that some stocks were split at a point in time. Does that mean that a stock might go up or down? Or is there no correlation between that whatsoever?

How many stocks of each company would you buy?

It's just an online simulation game by the way. But I can never find the really good stocks.

I am not able to understand how the calculation of return works. When i look into the fund history, I see that the YTD performance is 8.74%. So if i had invested 2500$ i should have already got $200, but I havent.

so is the 8.74% that they claim is in capital gain or dividend ?
How do I know when the fund will actually pay the investor.
