How much bonus does an investment banking analyst make ?

I intend to go into finance/investment banking (after i graduate and hopefully the economy recovers) . How much salary+ bonus would a NEW investment banking analyst make at an i-bank such as goldman sachs or jp morgan. also, i intend to get a Masters in financial engineering after i graduate from college…..is it even worth it? will it give me a better shot at a higher position at an investment bank or will i have to start at the same level as college graduates?

Should I lower my 401K contributions and opt for a savings/money market account?

Would investing in a mutual fund be advisable? How do they work?

My husband and I are getting ready to start an emergency fund and I’ve heard that mutual funds have high returns (10 percent or more). Is that true? How do mutual funds work?

Is it okay to invest in a mutual fund in this economy? I am very new to investing. I own 2 stocks (1 share of Jamba Juice, which was a gift, and 3 shares of Alcoa).
"Learn before you invest."

That’s why I’m asking here.

What is the stock market trying to tell Obama?

See, the stock market is ALWAYS a leading indicator of things to come. You should all know by now that it bounced from Mar 9th lows on the assumption that the worst was over and Obama putting trillions into economy would stave off another leg down in the recession. NOW, what is this market saying now that it is slowly going back down? Why would Obama throw more money at it? Why would he dare introduce more legislation that is bad for economy and business in general? What is Obama trying to accomplish? And does the market heading back down tell him that his agenda is working?

Did the stock market crash because the banks were failing? How do failing stocks affect the economy?

In words that I will be able to understand, can anyone explain to me the correlation between the banks, the housing crisis, and the stock market. And how does the stock market affect the economy itself? I am just beginning to understand what the stock market is, so numbers and statistics are really not helpful.

What are stocks? How do they work and how important are they in the stock market?

I’m 16 and I’m just curious about stocks. I’ve been hearing them a lot these days, and I know that they play important roles in the economy. However, I’ve never gotten to know a solid, concise description of stocks, and how they work. Why invest in stocks? How do stocks fall? Are the amount of stocks owned by businesses proportional to their size?
Thank you. :)
