Say you short (naked "Put") 10,000 shares of Enron at 50. It goes bankrupt. You have the right to sell 10,000 shares at 50 that you don't own. But once the company goes bankrupt, its stock is no longer traded. How can you buy that 10,000 shares near zero so it could then be sold at 50?

I've been wanting to move to S. California to start a business. When I was out there 2 years ago I noticed something missing that has the potential to make Millions. I was just wondering how I might find good investors that would invest in my company (that I'd like to start). I've been looking on the internet and reading up on things. I have not seen anything along these lines. Can I buy them out after if takes off? or will they want to take it from me? How do I secure it? I will tell you that this is in the food industry and something people love. I really do not see how it would not work, well location, location, location. To start out I might have to rent so I need a place with the option to buy. Thus not losing the location. I have put a lot of thought into this. I still have to work on my demographics a bit to narrow it down a little more. I want this to be a chain. With out investors it will never go anywhere. Can someone give me an idea? I thought about bank loan. I need assets

I don't have so much money to invest so trading costs are quite important for me. Many thanks to everyone who answers.

I'm in my early 20's and I'm looking to invest 5k yearly to an Roth IRA account. I've recently decided on vanguard and I want to know which type of Mutual Funds suit me the best?

I already have an Roth 401k plan (fidelity) with my company which I contribute to as well. I contribute about 4k yearly in this plan. ( This is my main retirement plan which I plan to go a little more risky since its a 35+ year retirement plan)

For my Roth IRA (Vanguard) ***I MIGHT*** have to pull out my principal for a down payment for a house. ( I have an separate house fund). But if i have to answer the question now, I would say 80 percent I don't have to pull anything out. Having a certainly amount of flexibility should be nice though. With that said, what types of Mutal funds should I invest in.

My husband and I have saved about 250k. We have about 15k of debt (auto loans that are just about paid off, and credit cards), not including house note. Anyway, I was just wondering what some of you out there would if you had this money. I have about $10k in stocks, 40k in CDs and a little. I would like to see our money grow. Would you start a business? What would you do to make your money grow? I am somewhat of a risk taker just to keep that in mind in your answers

I have a 401k, and I put a lot of money into it, but I'm ashamed to admit that I barely know anything about it. What books/articles/websites can you recommend that would educate me about both the basics and the specifics of investing in and maintaining a 401k?

Thanks!

I purchased some stocks in January and I have sold some of them throughout the year. I have made a profit of $1200 on the stocks that I have sold so far this year. Should I sell some of the stocks that I have lost money on to save myself money in taxes, and if so how much should I sell?
