In a few months from now, I’ll be receiving my late mother’s estate, which mostly includes money. And I am still somewhat confused as to what I should do. I do have common sense and won’t be spending much of it. The majority will be put away and hopefully invested, however I’m not sure what I should invest in ?

I’m scheduled to meet with a financial planner on Friday, but before I do I would like a basic understanding of investing. Can anyone recommend any websites ? Also, I would appreciate any tips on how to invest in our F#$%@! up economy of today.

Have you got any advice for neophyte such as myself ?

Thanks

- A confused and lost individual

PS

I’m not sure what the amount will be that I’ll be receiving but I know it’s enough to work with in terms of investing for long term growth.

Hi guys,
I’m currently a junior in high school and I’m leaning towards business and economics for university. And since I like profit and money I’m interested in investing in stocks and buying shares. I would really appreciate it if you guys could tell me where I can start out as a beginner and open a demo account. And I would also like to know where I could research stock prices(website, magazine,etc)

I would just like tips on getting started. I’m not here to try to make easy money, but to learn.

Thanks in advance

I have an interview coming up at a boutique firm in investment banking that I have been preparing for. I noticed that almost every member of the firm had an MBA from an Ivy League school on the bios. Do recommendations from members of a firm that you work for hold much weight in admissions to MBA programs?

is it possible to give tax credits to encourage business investment in new factory equipment and still increase the tax burden on wealthy citizens?

I was watching a documentary about the conspiracy of the world. There is a family that runs the world through the banks, they are the FDIC, they caused the stock market crash 1929, etc. There is an expected stock market crash coming again along with the New World Order. Does it really make sense to invest in the market if these events are coming soon?

Career advisors do career advice – is there such a thing as a business advisor, or investment advisor? I am sure there are many good business ideas out there, I just want to find the best one for myself, and I believe in asking specialists.

How else is it possible to explain conservative fixation on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, except to conclude that out of the 10,000 or so equities available for purchase worldwide, and the thousands upon thousands of bonds and bond funds, not to mention real estate investments, commodity investments, swaps, puts, calls, other options, other derivatives, futures, venture capital, and the myriad other investments that exist in the world….

….conservatives have zeroed in on the Dow as the only relevant measure of the health of the investor economy?

If the conservatives are the economic geniuses they claim to be, and if they’re so certain that Obama is "destroying the economy" because they just "know" the DJIA is going to fall (as said repeatedly on questions here), then why aren’t they investing in, for example:

Rydex Dow Inverse Strategy 2x C mutual fund shares (symbol: RYCZX), which would guarantee them a return twice the size of any DECREASE in the Dow Jones Industrial Average?

Could it be that the real reason the conservative geniuses never even consider other investments besides the DJIA is that they really don’t know anything about other investments, and that everything they know comes from the headlines on TV news?

Business investment in new machinery, computers and software drove much of the growth last quarter, increasing nearly 25 percent.

But much of that spending involved the purchase of imported goods. Imports surged 32.4 percent, the most since 1984. That overwhelmed a 9.1 percent increase in exports.

They hate the stock market and have done everything in their power to kill it! So quit trying to give Obama credit, it has gone up DESPITE his attempts to kill it!

Hi all i am an trader, investor and analyst also, no doubt everyone losses money in stock market, but the ques is how to reimburse those losses?
