Im a beginner in investing to Mutual Funds and would like to know what things I should look for in a fund that is going to perform above average and have low risk while giving a good rate of return in the short and long term?

The Dow and S&P are both within reach of hitting all-time highs despite the housing and credit problems. Is this irrational?

The international press often runs articles talking about the Fed bailing out the U.S. markets (again). Maybe the Fed bailed out the equity indices to the point where they can make new highs again so quickly and without the market properly digesting the problems.

My question is: Have the U.S. stock markets ever been so near all-time highs when the risks of a recession are seen as 30-50%?

However when I look at the quarterly statements I never see a return more than 5-6%. I understand the cumulative quarterly return can equal the 18% over 2 yrs. Question: When my finacial advisor states that it returns 18% over 2 yrs is that misleading when quarter to quarter the return is 6% or less?

I have in mind 15%, but I am not sure.

In the UK it is 20% standard rate and 40% higher rate. (The unending wars we get involved in, do not come cheap).

I have $500,000. I don't know what to do with it. Mutual funds only earn around 3% to 4% interest.

I want to have earnings of at least $3000/month from my money. This is so I can pay for my living expenses. How should I invest it- and where?

For example, bloomberg.com showed that the S&P closed at 1462.79 yesterday. This morning, before the market open, the value of S&P futures is 1479.30, a 1.09% increase. What exactly does this mean?

Thanks!!

I have about $25,000 in home equity right now. Is it possible to get a loan from that to invest in stocks? If so, what would be the best way to do that?

I am supposed to go online to the American Funds website and figure out what I want to invest in. They have the different options of investments broken into Class A,B, and C which have different guidlines on how each works. I do not understand what would be in my best interest for my finacial goals and I am not getting any help with it either. If someone has any experience with this please help, I just need a idea of what my options are with each Class so I can make a choice on which way to go with it. I want to be aggresive now to hopefully make up for starting so late in the game on invest for retirement then slow down to more secure stuff later. Does this sound like a resonable goal? I am due to retire in 12 years and will be self employed till I reach 65 about 10 years later -Thank you for your help

My girlfriend has a couple of savings bonds

One is from 1988

One is from 1992

One is from 1991


Both the 1991 and 1992 ones say "Series EE- interest ceases 30 years from issue date" but the 1988 one doesnt say this. Does it mean it will keep gaining interest?

And if it's a $50 bond, how much will it be worth when the 30 years are up?

How much is it worth now?

Hi, I am thinking about investing in Tim Horton's and I was wondering if anyone could point me toward answers to my specific questions.

Total shareholder equity including the number of shares authorized, issued, and outstanding for each class of stock (prefered, common, capital, treasury, etc...)

How did the decision to sell shares affect the financial statement.

I appreciate your help.

I found a company that guarantees to pay out 1.5 to 2% interest EVERY DAY. I have done this business for 2 months now and they pay me everyday ontime without fail. i can take my money out every easy and been taking some interst money. My friends say stop. Should I trust it? I'm thinking every investor would be breaking down their walls to invest with them.

I tried finding them with a search but with all the layers it was going to be difficult. I can find the other information without much trouble, but the list in order of the show is what I need.

I am trying to craft my investment strategy as I am going to begin to invest in stocks very soon. I have been reading alot, and I came across "Put Options", as away of insuring the stocks against heavy loss.
In your experience is using "Put Options" a good idea in general. Or is it sufficient to use only "Stop Loss" instead?

Thanks for the advice.
