At my mother's suggestion, I opened a retirement account with Fidelity. I am now automatically investing $200 every month from my bank account to their Fidelity Freedom 2050 fund.

I am, however, paranoid about my hard-earned money and log in every week to sometimes see more money, and sometimes see less. My Fidelity adviser tells me that I can just leave the money there and not do anything, and by the time I retire, I'll be sitting on a goldmine.

Somehow I don't believe him... should I be doing more than just letting $200 go to my Fidelity account every month, and not doing anything?

I recently made a career switch to a top-tier i-bank (hint - one out of the following: Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Lehman). I had read that the typical Associate salary range was 80-100k, however I was offered only 75k. I feel a bit stupid for accepting, but felt I had no bargaining power at the time, since I have no experience in the industry and my degree is in the humanities. Now I'm working longer hours than anyone in my team and have no time for anything else. Without being greedy, I just want to be making as much as everyone else.

How do these things work? Should my salary eventually be adjusted to be on par? Will I be entitled to a higher bonus to offset the lower salary?

About a year ago I went in with two partners in the development of a website, well a year later the site is up and running and the verbal aggreement was that they would be the investors. We have formed a corporation and equal in co. shares, but one of them has been not been completely been meeting the verbal requirement in the up keep of the co.

It seems that that partner is tired of investing in the monthly expenses of the co, and has been slowly delaying monies and until recently stopped and refused to pay anymore to maintain our co. structure in running forward.

My question is, what is the best way to deal with this situation in a moral, ethical and business way, cause it's not far that the other partner is still contributing in our business venture to support our cause to continue forward with our up and running website.

I have invested 150K, the other 150K and mr. no pay has only contributed 60K, it seems easy but want a more unbiased look in futher action, thank you.

Just trying to figure something out here. If I had 2 companies that were very comparable and one offered a dividend, I am going to go for the dividend one because I see it as extra return. My father says that dividends do not matter since the stock drops around the same amount when the ex-dividend date comes around.

Do dividends matter? Are they just a sort of cost recovery item?

As I see it, if I did reinvest my dividends then after 10 years, my investment will be worth a lot more since I have more accumulated shares. I know that Warren Buffet takes his dividends but that the same time, his company does not pay dividends themselves.

Concrete data proving one or the other?

On the balance sheet of a public company , a part of the total equity is usually "paid-in capital in excess of par". What does this represent, and what does it mean?

Thanks!

just answer yes or no, and give your 2 cents. I asked a question earlier and received an answer from a user named annie. She told me that my profession was a fraud, and she could prove it. She has a link to a bankrate.com article. What Annie does not realize, and that prompted this question of my own. Is that there are major differences between "Brokers" and "Registered Investment Advisers"
The latter , is held to a legal responsibility to provide service that is in the clients best interests. That means I have a fiduciary duty to my clients, that is legally binding. . .
Brokers...are connectors of people and product. they do not provide planning... they do not provide a written plan with instructions. . at the top of your statement if your account is a "Brokerage Acct" you have a broker...not an "advisory acct"
this is a huge misnomer...brokers advertise they provide planning, but they do in fact...not. http://www.financial-planning.com/pubs/fp/20060501011.html
false fiduciary

I have seen a study/chart that showed if you stayed fully invested in the stock market for 10 years or more, you would have had a 100% chance of being profitable.
