Can someone please explain stock market investing to me?

I’ve always been told that the stock market is a good long term investment if you have a diversified portfolio.

OK, so why are ALL stocks tanking right now? If investors are in it for the long run, why sell everything and not just finanicial institution stocks?

For example, let’s say I have stock in Apple, Merck, ADM, & Krogers, should I bail on them now like everyone elsel seems to be doing?

Why aren’t more people weathering the storm with their stocks?

Yes, I don’t know much about investing!

Do S&P index funds only go up?

We have 23-24K in an AXA Equitable Tax Sheltered Annuity. It was established while my wife was a teacher. I have heard that AXA is rather fee orientated. In a short while the funds will be clear of any early withdraw penalties. We met with an investment counselor and he said we could invest in an S&P 500 index fund for 3, 5 or 6 years and our funds would have the potential to grow significantly. He also stated that our earnings would never go down. He stated that he would get paid, the investment company would make money and we could do as well as 12 or 14 percent. Is this correct!?!

How does the stock market really work? I have a few questions?

I want to know how the stock market really works in terms of:

1. Investors Buying & Selling shares; how does the trading volume, here, of individual buys & sells affect a company’s stock price?

2. How can you tell how many people/investors are buying or selling a company’s stock in order to go long or short and put the odds in your favour – is there any specific technical analysis indicator that can tell you this, or what else can?

3. How does news affect stock prices?

Index funds cannot go to zero ?

Index funds cannot go to zero ? Am I right ? e.g. take the S&P 500 ETF index for SPY.

There are 500 stocks in SPY. Should one stock declares bankruptcy or gets de-listed, it is removed from the index fund SPY and a new stock will be added.

So I think even in a bearish market, the price value of SPY or any index funds including Dow Jones, Hengseng, Nekki, etc will never have a price value of zero.

Should any stock(s) in anyone of these index funds goes belly up, the stock(s) just gets removed or de-listed from the index and a new stock will be added.

Am I right ? Or am I missing anything ?

Even if we have the worst case scenario similar or more devastating than the 1929 market crash, the price of any Index Funds cannot go
to zero value.

Please comment and give me your insight.

Thanks in advance

It seems that index mutual fund returns should roughly be equal to the index return minus fees?

Is that statement true?

Also, it seems like the fee % for an index fund (e.g. S&P 500 fund) would roughly equal to the funds alpha. Is that true?

Stock market?

I am interested in getting an internship during this summer dealing with stock market in general. However, while going through numerous internship websites, as well as job search engines, I became more and more lost. None of the categories were as clear cut as to say "Brokerage Firm." Instead, I came across; Accounting & Finance, Finance, Investment, Financial Services, Investment banking, ect. WHAT?! I just want to get an internship where daily vitality of the market matters, and decision have to be made due to that. Those options are not detailed enough for me to say, “Yes, that’s were I would like to be.” With my upcoming AA in business management, I understand that I will not be a broker; however, I just want to be around that environment. I am interested in getting to taste that line of work, also better understand the market in real life, enough with the books! I live in NJ, so lets not refer to NY, Chicago, or Philly.
