Investing Knowledge Base
Investing?? I was in the States as an international student. Since i have completed my studies i have come back to my home country. What i want to ask is, can i still invest in Bonds, Equity, CD's, etc...through my bank a/c, which is active. I will not be investing more than $5000. I do have a Social Security Numer and a active checking a/c(which i had opened up while my stay over there), and now even plan on opening up a savings a/c with the same bank. Would i be able to do that(invest) without any problems? Like from immigration office or the govt. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks.
Is putting the work into investing in the stock market worth it? Keep in mind I am 17 years old. I've heard plenty of stories of those who've made millions through the stock market, but I don't want to invest every free hour I have in an attempt to make money, which may not even be that profitable. Do you think the hard work and time involved in investing into the stock market is worth it?
Where can a person start investing into an IRA that doesn't require a lot of money for the initial deposit? A friend works part time, her husband full time. Her employer does not offer a retirement plan, her husband is in his 401k plan. She wants to start investing some of her money to a retirement plan but does not have any money to initially deposit. Is it even possible for her to start an IRA? Are there better options for her to invest into? She wants to put in $25/ month electronically by AHC so she feels she is contributing to their retirement as well. As my husband and I both invest into our employer 401k programs, I did not have an answer for her and was hoping someone here would! She is 36 years old and was looking for something that would compound some off of her $300/year investment. Thanks!
What are the benefits of investing in stocks? I am very interested in investing, but I really don't know how or what the benefits. How does it work in simple terms? I guess I need to read "Investing for Dummies" or something. Basically, if I put $20 towards a stock, if the company is still around in 10 years will I make a bunch of money? Or if I invest in something like Hannah Montana, will I not get anything in ten years since she won't be popular?
What do I need to know before investing in a new company? No one in my family has EVER invested money. We save. I was always taught it was a gamble, and "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is". Someone close to me has recently invested money into a new company, and got a LARGE return in just one month. My husband is now wanting to invest as much money as we can also. What would I even need to know before investing any money? Please, no technical terms, like I said, I've never invested.

Where is the best place to find this sort of information? I was planning on buying it now while their currency market is in all sorts of disarray and then sitting on it until sometime in the future where (hopefully) the country has sorted itself out and the market has stabalised. I am not looking to make a quick buck as I know that in this case it will take quite a while to see any chance of selling for a profit, but plan to be in this for the long game...
