Investing Questions and Answers

Investing for the first time give a hand?

I have a few stock already but they hold on to going down bec of some
bad IPO deal but there still financial reports are still perfect and still selling strong. should I hold them or cut my losses.
And if I hold them would I owe the company money for there stock going down?


Answers: If you own the stocks, you don't owe the company anything. You simply own shares and will share surrounded by profits or, as you are doing now, losses. But, as a rule, you should other set a point at which to cut your losses. Many traders exit a trade if it has lost the equivalent of 2% of their picture. For example, if your account is $100,000, you would exit any trade that loses $2,000. This is commonly done through a standing stop order -- an lay down to your broker to sell when the price is reach that would result in the 2% loss.
IPO's are other " risky"...you have to swot up to be verrrrry selective with them.
As far as " adjectives losses".. sometimes you should set a guideline before you buy as to how much loss you will adopt...Investors' Business Daily suggests accepting no more than 8%... if you can get your hand on IBD it has loads of infomation on trading...they don't really push for the big, hasty gainers, but they will show you how to get a few that put you within the " steady gain" territory.
Hate to vote it, but there is some " luck" involved within trading, too. Sometimes you can do everything " right" and the walls still fall down around you !! Right immediately I'm holding Intel (and I'm past that 8% mark)...but next on the other hand I have some great IPO " luck" in the concluding 6 months..VMW and MELI..
and I DO credit " luck" in those cases...sure I expected some gain, but nothing approaching what happened!!
Keep pluggin' away..beside that IBD help..and your luck could variation.

Is it possible to invest contained by non-ING mutual Funds via Sharebuilder?

I recently open a Roth IRA account near Sharebuilder (owned by ING Direct). They only detail ING Mutual Funds on their website. (However there are profoundly more stocks and ETFs listed). I'm interested in investing within a Vanguard Mutual Fund. Is it possible to do it through my Roth IRA account on Sharebuilder?


Answers: Call Sharebuilder tomorrow and receive your question answered by someone or stir online to the website.
I would look into switching to something like Tradeking.com rank #1 2006 and 2007, and look at CGMFX, tremendous track record and +79% ending year..

If Obama wins the Presidency what will happen to the Stock Market and the Realestate Market?




Answers: Historically, the stock market has done a little better under Dems, but generally the impact of who is president on the market and the economy is overrated.
Whoever wins presidency will have very, very little effect on the markets.
(unless of course they implement some ridiculous economic policies... )
Stock market is pretty much unrelated to an individual president. Real Estate - maybe one more home in the Chicago area up for sale?
Nothing.
The market drop on Friday was about more than just a poor jobs report. It was about Obama winning the Iowa Caucus. Obama wants to raise the Capital gains rate to 28% (currently 15%) and raise the dividend rate to 40% (currently at 15 % for qualified dividends). He also wants to roll back the tax cuts for the wealthy and for companies (the main investors of the market). More and more people on the street are starting to talk about the markets being unhappy with Obama as a potential president.

Sorry to say it but if Obama wins the presidency expect a lower stock market for the next few years.
