Im a student and in desperate need of help on a math assignment, the assignment is that i have to Invest $20,000 in 3 different companies or stock......or w/eva that can be invested on, the 20G has to be divided btwn the 3 companies or stock.
I know there are some mathamatical formulas(such as PErt formula) that can be used to predict future income in your investments. If anyone has any idea where i should invest the money and how much of it i should invest, please let me know. Even though this is not real money, i would like my project to be as closely related to reality as possible, with smart investments, that will make me money in the future.
Mathamatical formulas or any other way to predict income in an investments will definetly help. To be honest i do not have much knowledge on investments and havent done much research yet so anything will help. A detailed answer would really help, thanx alot!

Some technical traders use a correlation of averages for prices and volumes. Check out some, say Businessweek.com or Wall Street Journal, plot prices and volumes, then measure slopes of the rises or falls to tops or bottoms of the graphs. Notice the correlation of volumes that often accompany changes in direction. As long as you are not trying to come up with some simple formula for the whole market, just describe three that you explore after identifying some commonalities. Just describe (in algebraic or geometric form) the data and highlight places that are similar.

I know there are some mathematical formulas... that can be used to predict future income... There are lots with technical analysis but if they worked well, John Jones, the math geek would have discovered it long ago and the media would be full of his name instead of Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. The guys will the formulas end up their long explanation of why they know with something like "so then if everything works out according to plan, the stock price will rise within the next month or two, but, if things don't work out, the price will fall. DUH, I could flip a coin and get those odds. People have done better having a chimpanzee throw darts at the stock listing in newspapers. ..."any other way to predict income in an investments... yep, research the basic business of the company. As the world's most successful investor, Warren Buffet says, "I buy businesses, not stocks." Think about products people all over the world use every day, use up quickly and soon buy more. Thinks like oil, toothpaste, soap, soda, booze, tobacco, over the counter and prescription durgs, etc. What companies make those type of products. Some of them have made enough money to be able to raise their dividends every year for the past 50 years. Seems to me like a good bet, they will continue to increase their earnings/dividends for the next few years also. Math formulas have nothing to do with it.

I have thought about this and the first thing I would NOT do is broadcast that I won the lottery. I would very quietly do what I needed to do to claim the winnings (via attorney etc.) and hire someone to help me wisely manage the funds. Then I would take care of my immediate family...quietly and discreetly. I would give to my favorite charities and causes in the same way. If you have someone helping you manage and grow your money you should be able to hang on to it so you can continue to benefit others as you wish. It's about discipline and investment. I think most lottery winners go broke because they start living the lifestyles of the rich and famous without being prudent about investment or spending. I suppose being too generous plays a part in this as well. I think the key is to keep it quiet and have someone help you manage the money.
