Re: stock exchange

I know you are getting a lot of different advise here. I'm not trying to confuse you more, but the best thing to do is pay off any debt first. Second make sure you have enough savings for (some say 3 months), so any where from 3 to 6 months to pay for expenses if you got laid off.

As for investing if you have money that you can put away for long-term (meaning 5 - 10 yrs.) then there is nothing wrong with investing it in stocks or mutual funds. This is a good time to buy. Yes, it will be rough for awhile, so make sure you have the stomach for it. Before you buy, be sure and do your research. You can check Morning Star and other advisors for stock ratings. It might be worth it to go with a full service stock broker, so you can get better advise. The discount brokers don't always give you access to a representative that you can speak with that's why they rates are discounted.


I just don't agree with those saying don't invest in the stock market. First off, prices like these (thankfully) don't happen very often. There has been some over-price stocks out there for some time now, so I think the market correction was due. There is truth to what goes up must come down... so what is down will go back up. No one know just how far down the market will go. There no since in waiting for the bottom or you'll just miss out totally.

Look at Warren Buffet and other big investors. They are grabbing up companies' stock like it's a clearance sale. One thing is certain, I would stick with blue chip stock. Don't get adventurous and buy start-up companies.

Now... just put you self in someone's shoes back during the great depression. I'm sure those people thought it was the end of the world. It must have been terrible. Well... things did get better. The world didn't end and the stock market came back.

Re: stock exchange

full service brokers are salesman, 98% don't have a clue what is what

etrade scottrade, offer all the personal help u want, u will just not get one on one with the same person, yet, they will help u all day,

charels scwab or fidelity, might offer more help portfolio wise for asset allocation

the time too buy is when prices stop goin down for 3-4 months

prices have gone down for 16 months in a row

the world wide economy has been built on credit, right now credit has been constrained by massive numbers

without credit u don't get growth in sales, growth in profit, share prices are fundamentally based on future profit streams and right now...........NO ONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD HAS ANY IDEA WHAT PROFIT STREAMS WILL ARISE OUT OF THIS MESS

again, because no available credit too grow

patience is key

That's true about sales people on commission. It would be better to find one that isn't paid on commission.

I have Vanguard. They are good and not as expensive and Schwab.
