Fund picks and pans stocks

Posts Tagged ‘stock’

I recently opened an account with TradeKing, and I was wondering what an options trade is. Also, why would people want to sell options rather than sell the stock at its market value?

Thanks.

I’ve been watching a few stock for a couple of months and am ready to jump into the market, but there is a catch to it, I’m only 17 and most of the websites that I have looked at or tried to join will not allow me too because I am under the age of 18. What is another way on or besides the internet that I can trade stock?

Ok, so the market has been going down the past few weeks.

1) Does this mean that people are selling off their stocks?
2) Why would selling your stocks make the market fall?
3) If I own a stock, and then someone else who owns the same stock decides to sell, why does this cause my stock to go down in value?

Sorry if these questions seem stupid but I’ve just started learning about the market.

I’ve recently gotten into trading options, but I’ve also noticed that pretty much every stock I look at has gone up since March, and my RSI isn’t helping me much. It basically has all the stocks at 50% right now, so there is no indication whatsoever of which way the market will go from here. Any ideas?

I have a very limited income (I’m a college student) but I keep up with the market because my trust fund is based on stock. Is there anyway I can begin investing money for myself with my limited resources?

Hey, certainly not the right place to ask important financial questions but did need some quick clarification…

Listening to NPR today and one of the top performing investor’s overall recommendation was that basically, a basic index fund will, on average, out perform any Mutual fund. And, because Index funds have less fees associated with them, the investor really will make out far better in the long run. His advice was, of course, not to pull your money out of your investment account but to perhaps transfer it to an Index Fund.

Since this was really limited information, my question was really about how the mutual fund works. I’ve lost, say, 30k in the 3 different mutual funds I have now. Shouldn’t I just leave the money in (since it’s already a loss) and hope the value goes up in the next 10 years? Or, within the mutual fund are the stocks constantly trading so the stock my mutual fund holds now, will not be the same stock in it 10 years from now. If the later is the case, I can see why moving it to an index fund makes sense. But if investors usually keep the same core stocks, then isn’t transferring my money to an Index fund the same as pulling out of the market? Does this make sense?

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

The Wall Street Journal today had an article about ethanol commodity prices jumping due to the increased demand for ethanol fuel for cars. I want to find an investment (mutual fund, stock) that I can buy to take advantage of the increasing ethanol prices.
