The Truth asked:
Can you learn things on your own or do you need a financial advisor to teach you everything??? I’m very interested in investing in the stock market and would like to learn some things before doing so, like what’s an IPO??? The differences between: Dow, Nasdaq, S&P 500, 10yr Bond, NYSE Volume, Nasdaq Volume??? What are “Indicies: US- World???” Any help and guidance would be helpful. Thanks in advance!!!

Leopardo asked:
This is a sensible and intelligent question based on actual economic situation that requires and needs a sensible and intelligent answer from actual forecasting of economic conditions at present time and in the future. Economists or financial advisors are requested for their answers since this situation is in their fields of expertise. I have job before and I would say the salary is Okay. My field of work is the field of law/legal and social/society and political. It was a contractual job but it is already terminated. I was out of work for almost a year. I made a loan to go into business, it started but the business I would put it is not really that profitable or the earnings gain is not stable and I have many monthly expenses/obligation to pay. The earnings of my 6 months business is not really doing well for me and my family. I have expected before I got into this business that i would earn enough sum of money to make my life and my family easier but the market couldn’t be controlled, it takes a wrong turned and the business is not really making good earnings. Now, I am thinking of going abroad for a greener pasture to earn bigger amounts of money to support my family, to earn an income from working abroad and purchase a lot and open a new business or businesses. Should I go abroad to work and earn a bigger earnings or find a job or should I stay and make another loan to open a new business where here I can spend my time with my family? Or whatever that is sensible and advantageous answers with samples from real life economic situations/conditions or similar career situations from failure/low to success and progress.

Robert R asked:
Well here’s my story…I’m no longer able to keep up with the mortagage, falling back 2 - 3 months, barely avoiding forclosure process & the house has been in the market for roughly 1year 2months…it was a terrible sale, too many fixings required that were obviously overlooked in my initial inspections…no remodels done since purchase in april 2004′, but overall a very nice house in a slugish market…have gotten close to sale about 2 months ago, but the buyers weren’t approved(they included repair costs)* I’ve thought about doing a short sale, but to be quite honest it really isn’t a realistic way for anyone to get out of a mortgage by ending up with the difference in the form of debt. Finally I was informed by my bank about “deed in lieu of forclosure” and continue to do my research before starting anything.Does anyone know how bad that would affect ones credit and for how long? I’ve asked financial advisors and have looked online, but have not found the answer to that…Anyone?

Princess asked:
Yesterday I watched a segment on Today a financial advisor said 6 out of 10 employeeors are no longer giving bonuses therefore we have to make our own. If we take even the smallest amount (like $79) and put it in an account that earns 8% interest you will have over $1000 in a year. WHO PAYS 8% INTEREST? My money market fund only pays 1.5% under $10,000.

KI557 asked:
It doesn’t take a lot of thought to realize that the housing market is in real trouble. The number of affordable homes has seriously declined over the last 3-4 years. While experts provide a whole lot of statistics and financial advisors love to tell us that there’s nothing to worry about, in reality, there is a lot to ponder. Middle and low-income prospective home buyers have been pushed out of the market. This is causing a serious social/psychological/emotional effect on Americans. Americans can no longer afford the “American Dream” because the housing market has abnormally driven up the prices of homes across the country. This negative socio-psychological effect will hurt Americans all across the country. What is the solution, you might ask - A serious correction in housing is required across the country. The correction is already happening but gradually and the housing downturn will continue until the average prospective homebuyer can realistically afford to buy a home in his/her own community. However, the housing downturn isn’t occurring fast enough to relieve the build up of psychological and emotional distress that affects most Americans across the country.
Actually - it would be wonderful to see the homebuyer “community” across the country issue a moratorium on buying a home. Just for a month or two - that would really produce a jolt in the much needed housing correction.
