Asked by asdfasdf a - Tue Mar 4 09:44:25 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Stay away from Financial stocks (Citigroup, Lehman, Morgan Stanley, Merrill, but not Goldman Sachs), short them if you see any rally. There is more room for the market to go down down down. Go long (buy) on hard and soft commodities (metals --gold, silver, platinum, etc; oil, wheat, corn, soybean, sugar,. Coffee is one commodity that is yet to catch up with all the other skyrocketing commodities). Look for ETFs (exchage traded funds) for these commodities (e.g. GDX for gold minres, SLV for silver, GLD for gold, and USO for oil).

Why is the financial market not important to Obama?

A. Because he is a Marxist plain and simple. He wants to punish those who dare to survive without or in spite of, the Nanny government. We should all surrender our lives and well being into his slimy hands. This is the goal of all Marxists and socialists: The destruction of all wealth and independence. The creation of misery that "can only be solved by government." Watch how the Constitution gets attacked next. It is the next logical step in handing the nation over to him and his cronies. I used to just distrust him. Now I actively hate him. C'mon 1/20/13!!!

Why does the Colbert report and daily show portray the financial market bailout as unnecessary and crazy?
Q. I like the show but I feel like they are trying to say we shouldn't save the financial market. Do they realize that if insurance and banks crashed that the economy would go on a halt hurting all sectors of the economy and sending us into a huge depression? And I feel like the audience does not realize this either.

A. The people who run the markets have been irresponsible and reckless in the conduct of business ethics and morals. Our monetary system is a system that builds on debt. Since 1913 the banks have controlled our economy and government when the Fed Reserve was created. They knew our economy was on a downward spiral and instead of trying to come up with a way to correct it, they just took advantage of it and road it into the ground grabbing as much profit as possible. Now they want help to pay for their greedy ambitions that have collapsed their companies. So we the tax payers who these companies have been selling or misleading us down a path to a melt down want us to reward them for a smoke job well done. The separation of wealth in this… [cont.]

A. I ve been investing for more than 20 years and trading for almost 14, and I can tell you that if you want to make BIG and FAST profits, I recommend you trading rather than investing, trading can help you to go from rags to rich. If you are investing, you must have already achieved some degree of financial success, long term stock investing and FOREX can help you to diversify your money and become much richer than you are today. My experiences as a Nasdaq Market Maker, Head trader of several brokerage firms, and currently as a professional trader and private hedge fund manager, I can suggest you that: We trade because we want quick, short term profits on a consistent basis.

A. The Dow Jones Industrials is a listing of the top publically traded industrial stocks. It is a barometer for the economy as a whole, because if the industrial sector is weak or falling, it does not bode well for the rest of the economy. The number of points up or down always fluctuates, but when it drops strongly, it sounds warning bells. If I remember correctly...it has been years since I even thought about that...there are about 30 or 40 of those top industrial companies listed in the index. That's what it is, an index. They include behemoths such as General Electric and USSteel.

A. They're used to shed and amplify risk. People follow the options market because it indicates the optimism or pessimism of the collective players. Following maximum pain, a high ratio of calls to puts is bearish and vice versa. Also the options trading indicates the expectation of future volatility depending upon the time premium.

A. Basically: Banks have been giving loans to people that should not be getting loans. it goes something like this: You want to buy a house, you get a large loan. You start paying it off. You find you can not pay it off You sell your house. The price the house is sold for is less than can cover the loan the bank has lost money If this happens thousands of time the banks begin loosing millions of dollars. When a bank collapses then people cant trust investing in banks. current situation as a result hard assets (gold etc) increase in value, money decreases in value. If money decreases in value, things begin costing more money (because money is worth less) If things cost more, companies cant pay their workers workers get fired unemployment… [cont.]

A. Just have the script get the values from the database. (Your database, or the one you're paying for access to, that has the data.) If you want to get the quotes, just automate a browser, go to a site that has the data, screen-scrape it and do what you need with it (like put it into your database, so your php page can get it). There's no free central repository of market quotes you can get.

What is the least risky and potentially most predictable financial market to invest or day trade in and why?
Q. I'm looking at the Forex, Stock, Options, Commodity markets and anything else I can think of. Exactly what are the pros and cons of each and where is a knowledgeable trader most likely to make gains?
Asked by splatterchew - Sat Jun 30 21:08:42 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. First off, you should know that "predicable" and "day trade" should never be used in the same sentence. If there was a predictable way to profit by day trading, a lot more people would be doing it. That being said, if your looking to investing something that is the "least risky" and "most predictable" you should look at a low cost fund that tracks a broad market index . Check out VFINX, Vanguards mutual fund that tracks the S&P 500. If you looking for pure predictability, try a bond fund. The others you mention Forex, Options and Commodities, are the MOST risky and LEAST predictable. And while they can be quite profitable for a professional trader, they are not suitable for the average/rookie investor.

A. Generally speaking, it is better to ride out the stock market storm, as history shows that it will recover, and continue upwards overall. But it depends on which company you hold shares in. There are winners and losers.I would prefer to invest in a Unit Trust, or an Investment Trust, because your investment is not dependent on one company's success, but many; selected by experts..

A. It is the selling of a security that the seller does not own, or any sale that is completed by the delivery of a security borrowed by the seller. Short sellers assume that they will be able to buy the stock at a lower amount than the price at which they sold short. Investopedia Says... Selling short is the opposite of going long. That is, short sellers make money if the stock goes down in price.

A. The financial market (ie the stock market) is an indicator of economic growth. The more people invest, the more money there is out there for businesses to invest and grow their business and as a result the economy as a whole grows. There are other indicators such as real estate market, new housing market, and federal interest rates but the finical market is normally the first to feel the effects of a change in the economy.
