| Case Study: How to make $100 (profit) in the stock market |
| posted by: Kunal of HelloStockMarket @ Tue Feb 09, 2010 12:43 am |
I’ve been fairly optimistic with the stock market since the March 2009 lows. My passion is the stock market, and I kind of wanted to put out a feeler out to you guys – I was thinking of doing a case study of how I plan on making my first $100 profit in the stock market. Like, a real case study – something where I would really be putting up some of my own cash, to see if it actually can do something.
Would this be something you would find interesting? I kind of want your feedback to see if this was something I should do privately, or if yo... |

| Rise in dollar leads to fall in crude oil |
| posted by: gnutrade.satya @ Mon Feb 08, 2010 10:26 am |
|
Oil fell as demand for the black metal may have fallen in the US with a significant rise in dollar. Chris Jarvis, senior analyst at Caprock Risk Management in Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, said: "The dollar remains the focal point for both the equity and commodity markets as Greece's debt issues put pressure on the Eurozone." |

| Pre-qualifying for mortgage loans in order to shop around? |
| posted by: Elmira Nancy @ Mon Feb 08, 2010 9:35 am |

Is pre-qualifying for a mortgage loan the way to compare loans? I am a first time home buyer and want to understand the best way to shop for a loan. Then if I chose a loan and wanted to get pre-approved, how long does it take to get approved before I can put a bid on a house? |

| "The Motley Fool" any good? |
| posted by: samurai @ Mon Feb 08, 2010 12:26 am |
I signed up for "The Motley Fool" on-line investment advice site, and they regularly send me advice about how to invest and what to invest in. Does this company have a good track record when it comes to what to invest in? Honestly, they give a very convinsing spin on what to buy, and how to buy it from them. Are they really that good? Has anyone tried them out?
Thanks in advance! |

| young worker getting started with 401k |
| posted by: jman @ Sun Feb 07, 2010 11:12 pm |
Hello all.
I am a 24 years young new employee working for a major rail road company. I'm interested in some second opinions regarding my 401k approach. My employer is willing to match up to 6% of contribution, so I'm definitely going to contribute at least this much. My goal right now is simply to save as much as I possibly can. I enjoy saving money and am very thrifty. I have no loans/debts and a 770 credit score. I guess I would like to retire at an early age, but because I enjoy what I do so much, right now at least this is not a concern.... |

| Pay Mortgage OR Invest |
| posted by: ricksample @ Sun Feb 07, 2010 3:44 pm |
Hi Everyone!
I know this is a hot topic and others have posted it as well. However, my circumstances are a little different. Why? Two reasons: We are in our 20's and built our house to serve as our home, not an investment & we don't get any tax breaks on the interest we pay on our mortgage because our payments are so low and we don't pay to much in interest, well not enough to itemize our deductions.
1.5 Years ago we paid cash for our land valued at $50,000 and took a loan out for $154,000 to build @ 30 year 5.675%. Then two months ago ... |

1. I would like to have full statistics, how much dollars was printed by Federal Bank of United States in 2009 (and history of this indicator for as many as possible years) to lend this money to U.S. private banks.
If exactly, "Printing money for lending it to foreign banks", "Printing money for lending it to U.S. private banks", or all other possible purposes for which Federal Bank can print the money.
This information can be found at Federal Bank web-site, but I don't know where exactly I can find it.
2. Also would be good to have inform... |

| Want to buy home soon - cut back on retirement? |
| posted by: earwax @ Sat Feb 06, 2010 5:54 pm |
I have about $23K in liquid cash saved up. I also have about $20K saved up in my combined retirement 403(b), 457(b), and ROTH IRA. I am 30-years old. I would like to buy a condo or a townhouse soon, and I understand that most places want at least 20% down payment. I'm looking to try to save up to $50K liquid cash so I can buy a $250K condo or house one day. I live in California where houses are expenses.
My current retirement plan and savings are this:
$500 into my savings every month
$300 into my ROTH IRA every month
$100 split ... |

| Dollar rose reduced the appeal of gold |
| posted by: gnutrade.satya @ Fri Feb 05, 2010 10:44 am |
Gold fell after a three day rally as dollar rose and reduced the appeal of the precious metal. Tom Pawlicki, an analyst at MF Global Holdings Ltd. in Chicago, said: "Worries over gold’s future prospects come from the dollar."
Gold for April delivery fell $6 to close at $1,112 an ounce at the New York Mercantile Exchange. |
