The housing market is already worse than back in 1990 and we still have a ways to go.
Investing in the American economy and the dollar now is just plain stupid.
Abu Dhabi is on crack.

I have a 2yr old niece and thought it would be nice to buy her a share of stock or something for each of her birthdays and christmas' throughout the years. I am a college student so starting a CD for her with a $1000 isn't really an option. I was thinking something I could do for her little by little and have it amount to something by the time she could use it (school/car/whatever). Maybe a stock I could continue to buy shares in each year?
Looking for any ideas...and please provide a website or something for me to view suggested options where possible.

Thanks!

I have a variety of Fidelity mutual funds and I am thinking of using one of their representatives to review and evaluate my portfolio. I hope to get some sound advice about how to invest over the long term for retirement. Has anyone used their services and what did you think of them. I realize they may push their own products, as most advisors do at the large firms, but I haven't found an independent advisor that I feel comfortable with.

It seems like they should be more stable, since they discount any inflation effects, but it's just the opposite. They were up more than 1% yesterday, and down more than 1% today, way more than short term bond prices.

I bought 215 shares of ANF last week @ 74.80 and sold 2 Dec 75 contracts and netted about $700 (covered call.)

The stock is now at 77.20. Didn't think it would shoot up that high.

Now do I: buy back the calls? Or wait until expiration? Right now the Dec 75's are priced at 4.80 a piece compared to about $3.40 when I sold them. I could buy them back and sell 2 Dec 80's.

What would you do? What would my new profit be?
I'm new at this so I'm eager to learn.

Index funds cannot go to zero ? Am I right ? e.g. take the S&P 500 ETF index for SPY.

There are 500 stocks in SPY. Should one stock declares bankruptcy or gets de-listed, it is removed from the index fund SPY and a new stock will be added.

So I think even in a bearish market, the price value of SPY or any index funds including Dow Jones, Hengseng, Nekki, etc will never have a price value of zero.

Should any stock(s) in anyone of these index funds goes belly up, the stock(s) just gets removed or de-listed from the index and a new stock will be added.

Am I right ? Or am I missing anything ?

Even if we have the worst case scenario similar or more devastating than the 1929 market crash, the price of any Index Funds cannot go
to zero value.

Please comment and give me your insight.


Thanks in advance

I am learning how to trade stocks and am currently watching TXT stock. I purchased about 200 shares short and the stock is trading at about 2.26 low and I'm thinking of getting out of it. Although because it's still trading on the high side of it's 52 wk, I'm not sure if that's a sign that it may go down more or that it could start to go up again. My question is this, What should I be looking at other then maybe checking what the company is currently doing in the news?
I also remember something about checking the P/E. What am I looking for in that number?
