Investing - November 2007

I'm an 18 year old female who received $10,000 due to a death of a relative.

What would be some good ways to invest this?

I don't really wanna keep it tied up in anything for longer than two years, because my own family's financial situation is uncertain.

What should I do with it?

Any suggestions appreciated.

I always understood there was a certain amount of funds which granted access to particular closed mutual funds in Fidelity such as the Contrafund.

How much money do you need with Fidelity to gain access to these funds?

And obviously this would be reversed if the share market was weak, would the property market then be booming?

does a reverse stock split benefit a share holder. would it reduce the outstanding shares? so for instance if a company does a reverse stock split takes away shares in the open market and increases the stock. in that instances it should enhance the EPS becuase of less share on the open market, just like a stock buy back?

Thanks Keenan

I am playing a stock market game for my economics class with $100,000 in pretend money. I really want to win and I am wondering about a new strategy I have come across. Is it a good idea to buy stocks about to undergo reverse stock splits? For example, I am thinking of buying JAVA because it is about to have a 1 for 4 reverse stock split. I read that that will make it go from $5 to about $20. If only the stock price increase is accounted for and not the share decrease (e.g. My shares will stay the same while the price increases), doesn't that seem like a logical thing to do? If so, do you know of any other stocks about to have reverse stock splits? Thanks!

100% of my investments are in a large spread of mutual funds
About 40% foreign/30% domestic/20% emerging/10% sector/industry specific.

I don't have any individual stocks and my experience is limited. I have one microcap (penny stock) that I am considering putting between $2-$3000 in.

I hope to be in for a longer term (not day trading).

If it did bottom out I would live, the gain is just too tempting.

Do you suggest staying away from microcaps all together or are they worth a most small percentage of your portfolio?

I do some much research and reading reviews, blogs, etc.. on all these Drop-Shipping companies but here good things and bad things about them all. People say you shouldn't have to pay monthly to any Drop-Shipper, Some people say well they need to make money as well. There are so many people out there using this service and making money, why does it seem to be so hard to actually find a descent Drop-shipper who is not secretly ripping you off when you think everything is sweet? Any other options out there besides Drop-Shipping that someone can work with when trying to make some extra income online, possibly making it full time? Anybody got ideas just throw them at me, Advice throw it at me... Any information would be helpful. Thanks

There are shares you trade in options when they meet a specified criteria as I understand it. Are there any tool(s) that will do the necessary download of the optionable shares/stock and do the calculation to recommend the shares to trade on for the day?
