I was checking stocks today, because I have been keeping a close eye on Washington Mutual for various reasons and I stumbled upon a second Washington Mutual stock labeled WMUTP, that was created this month. However, I can't find any information in relation to what it actually is.

I am wanting to get into stocks and bonds, however I don't have a lot of money but would like somewhere for my money to gain interest and grow moreso than an average "savings" account. I know a little bit about how to do stocks but bonds I don't. I'm a college student and would like to know which would be better. I read an answer about bonds that helped me out about what it is, its sounds like a certificate of deposit(i know it isn't, but is it comparable?) They were talking about if the interest rate changes and the bond is fixed at a percentage, and the interest goes up, of course money is lost. Is there a bond that allows flexibility with the changing interest rates or is that the whole scheme?
By the way, I've got some money backed away in savings, but how much is usually needed to start out on this stuff(bare min.)? Thanks so much!

MBI has a Jan call that has high time value (12%), high downside protection (13%) and high implied volitility (1.3). This means investors feel there will be a large swing in the stock in the near term but what do you look at to determine if they feel this turn will be up or down? It seems to me if call buyers are willing to bid this much premium in a stock call they feel like it will go through the roof.

Look here first:

As you will see, if you are a shareholder as of 12/31/2007 of PVFC, you are going to get bought out at one of these prices:

1. $18.50 cash per share
2. $9.25 cash per share + 0.926 X (value of UCFC)

OR

3. 1.852 X (value of UCFC)

The question is, which one would an investor be getting? Clearly, option #1 is the best deal and option #3 is actually a BAD deal.

So, should I go ahead and buy the stock or not?

MBIA has a Janurary 20 call that offers 14.8% Time Value and 15% Downside Protection. This seems to good to be true so it probably is. What must one look at when you find large Time Value in the current months calls. I am writing covered calls as an investment strategy.

I'm looking to invest in several stocks, all surrounding the development and progression of computer hardware and computers in general.

I'm looking at apple which has been doing very well at around 190$. ticker: AAPL

Also looking at HP which is at around 52$, and has been going up extremely well in the past 3 years ticket: HPQ

Looking at Soyo which is a penny stock that i might invest in for the risky jump that it might start going big, ticket: SOYO

Wondering if investing in Google will be a good investment, Jim cramer thinks it'll multiply by 5x again, within several years to 3500$.

Dell does not seem like a good option as apple is so effectively beating it.

Have not looked at IBM at all.

Please tell me what you think about all this, thanks.
