Which Online High-Yield Savings Account is Best?
Answers: Go to BankRate.com - they have lists of rates so you can compare!
I use HSBCdirect.com - but all of these accounts have a lower rate now than they did a few months ago because of the fed cutting rates. And odds are that they'll go even lower.
Which is the best? Well, none of these accounts are going to make you rich. It's more important to save money consistantly over time than to worry about a 0.25% difference in rates.
Emigrant Direct or ING Direct are your best bets as far as reputation goes.
Small Capital "Penny Stocks" expected to hastily rise or crash down between presently and tomorrow.?
Looking for a penny stock to invest in tonight. Im hoping that it will increase or cutback at least 300%. Let me know what u infer.Answers: If anyone legitimately knew that, we'd be getting rich by trading them. We wouldn't be on the Internet giving the practice away for free!
Penny stocks are very popular next to scam artists because their prices are easy to rub. Have you ever seen those e-mails that promise that a stock is going to soar within price? Those are scam artists. They're waiting for you to buy and drive the price up so that they can sell at a profit and stick you beside a loss. (Beware of any recommendations that you draw from on the Internet, because they could be the same scam.)
You should also be aware that penny stocks are diaphanously traded. In some cases, you may have to continue hours or days to find a buyer when you're ready to deal in.
If you still wish to do this, use money that you don't diligence about losing because you probably will.
Don't excess your time on penny stocks. If you drop 1000 dollars on penny stocks you will probably be the market originator and screw yourself.
Why has Berkshire Hathaway's stock dropped so much in the last few weeks?
Answers: Berkshire, though it is probably less volatile than just about any other stock you could think of, is not totally immune from the rest of the market--which has been tanking lately. Also BRK moved up sharply in recent months--an A share topped 150,000 and Warren was apparently the richest man on earth for about a day--before falling back. This may just be a correction.
Its a barometer for the rest of the market. The S&P and Dow are down and BRK_A is no exeption.
Another reason could also be the insurance business which they are in. Rates and margins are low.
On a percentage basis it hasn't dropped so much and for a stock like BRK, you absolutely don't need to watch it on a daily basis. Over the course of 2007 it was up over 25% if memory serves me correctly.
You can buy Berkshire's class B stock for a 1/30 of the price of the class A.
Finally, its really just a mutual fund, but there are many other mutual funds out there that have beaten BRK handily over the past 10 years on a total return basis.
Berkshire is just a compilation of all the stocks they own, when those smaller companies go down in volumne, so does birkshire. There bright point is that they tend to have good management so investors will pay a premium for that,,, you should check out www.thewallstreethunter.com they have a portfolio in there where they track all the warren buffett stocks everyday and see how they are doing...
