I am willing to take moderate risk in my investment oppurtunity.

I was thinking about investing in rail roads and trains.

I'm 22 (about to turn 23 in 6 weeks) My company offers a 401(k) program which I have been participating in since March. I currently put in 5% of my pre-tax income in, which my company maches 5% of. Is this enough, should I be putting more in? I make about $35,000 a year and am currently living at home. Between my car payment and other payments, I am paying about $650 a month in bills.

I can't believe I lost the entire investment of $13.87... I am so depressed and upset that I could jump from a second story window straight into the compost heap below...

We're fake investing in 10 companies. There are about 10 groups of two, and who ever comes up with the most money by the end of the marking period wins. Any suggestions to what companies would be doing really good soon? i was thinking FedEx? or some other companies that will thrieve in the upcoming holiday season...

Both IRAs have advantages and I know that tax rates are not predictable. I am age 54 and I need to know which one is better over the next 10 years to take me into retirement.

To begin, I'm only 15 years old, and I have around $800 in a savings account. I'm almost positive I won't be needing that money until next year for when I get a car (maintenance, gas money, emergencies), so I was wanting to put my money to work (a.k.a. invest). But I need to know, for me, what would be the best investment?

Should I get a CD?
How about some stocks?

My money is currently in a savings account drawing less than 1% interest, and since I won't be needing my cash for a year (approx.) then I thought I should do something with it.

Ideas would be very helpful!=]

for example Sony Corp., the stock symbol is SNE. but then it shows you option chains and the symbols are the same but with two extra charecters like SNEXC, SNEKE, SNELI etc... What are these? and what does it mean?

I have some money that I would like to hide for some years.
Are bonds a good idea?
Are bonds like a paper with no name on it that I could just go and cash it sometime in the future anonymously?
Are government bonds a good idea?
Interest rate is not a problem but I wouldn't like something risky.
All I want is to be able to hide some money for like 5-10 years off in the future.
I live in Romania so there might be a difference but if you know anything about bonds in your own country please share the info with me and your location.
Thanks

I am thinking about putting some of my $ into a FFalx (templeton) Mutual fund. I have been looking into it and just wanted opinions. Would this be a good idea if I could part with a few thousand for a few years. What are the pros and cons?

I purchased shares of a low-volume stock. I puchased a thousand shares at the ask price. It was picked up and the volume increased by exactly 1000 but the price was not affected. Can someone explain how this works?

Thanks.

Why can't we, for instance, put matching 401K money into our houses? Why do we have to invest in some fund?

These Funds do not disclose their fees, which are often substantial. When saving for retirement, why are we so limited in our freedom to choose?

So, my high school does this activity called the SMG (Stock Market Game)
What happens is you get 100,000 in virtual money and you buy and sell stocks.
My partner and I are in need of help on some of our stocks.

Which of these should we sell:
BEBE
COST
SOHU
BIOF
EBAY
FSLR
MCD

The last four seem to be draggin' us down. Even though the last 3 have just recently been invested. BIOF has been with us for about three weeks now and has increasingly gone down, however the rest are doing quite well. Do I need to sell any?

P.S - Our balance is $40,741.37. How much more money could we use to invest before we get screwed?

I have a good $50,000 I'd like to invest somehow to make a MINIMUM of $1,500 a month to live off of. My total monthly bills are about $1,200 a month with rent and bills and all. $1,500 a month would be nice as it would cover me for the month and leave a small amount for entertainment as well as allow me to keep all of my paychecks to invest more or do whatever i want with them. I do not want to hear anything about network marketing or any business opportunities on or offline as I want to simply invest the money somehow without having to physically work or keep track of any type of business stuff. If anyone knows of any types of stock options or plans that will allow me to generate $1,500 a month with the $50,000 and that would also allow me withdraw the money without penalization please let me know. Thanks in advance!
