| European stocks ended lower |
| posted by: gnutrade.satya @ Fri Mar 12, 2010 11:59 am |
Economic figures failed to impress the investors and adding to this spike in chinese inflation increased the prospects of interest rate hikes in the country and this took the shares in europe especially CAC to end on a lower note. Gerhard Schwarz, head of global equity strategy at UniCredit said: "We have a lack of drivers probably in the short term. Chinese figures that came out this morning remind us that we will see a further tightening of conditions globally over the next couple of months."

Hey, so I really hope someone can help me with this. I've been really interested in investing for the past couple years. But I really don't know how to get my foot in the door. I've read multiple different 'How to's on beginning to invest but they all seem geared towards people who have graduated college and have a job and stability and all that stuff.
My dilemma is, I am a freshman in college without a career, so I have no 401k, and my insurance is covered by my parents right now, I can't afford a home to invest in, and I have no debt at al... |

| Crude prices took FTSE,DAX high |
| posted by: gnutrade.satya @ Thu Mar 11, 2010 11:57 am |
Banking stocks and firm crude prices took European Shares like FTSE, DAX to end on higher note. Geoff Wilkinson, head of investment research at Mint said: "The news from the United States has generally been quite encouraging on the jobs front. It seems to have been enough to have drawn a lot of people into the market who were waiting for some confirmation of further activity."
Mic Mills, senior trader at ETX Capital said: "Wall Street came in with some early gains and stirred the FTSE from an earlier torpor late afternoon. But aside from ... |

I was told to do stock options over investing in stocks? Yet,I find the risk factor is too high in options. So I rather invest more in stocks and see what type of outcome manifests itself. What would be the first step? Besides going on these sights like Etrade etc. Is wall street still open for the little guy? Please help!!! |

| Bank of America announced it will eliminate overdraft fees |
| posted by: AlFromLA @ Thu Mar 11, 2010 1:27 am |
Due to latest overdraft fee made by the congress, BOA is now eliminating overdraft fees for those customers who are not opt in. That means if customers opt out of the list, then they won't be charged for overdraft fees but their checks and their chargers will get denied.
http://newsroom.bankofamerica.com/index.php?s=43&item=8538
I personally like this idea I rather get my CC denied and get embarrassed a bit if I have insufficient charge and pay over draft fees and go further negative.
What do you all think?

| European Bonds and US Treasuries |

Treasuries ended on a high note as US Stocks boosted demand for the government debt before a record-tying auctionof three-year notes of woth $40 billion. David Ader, head of government bond strategy at Stamford, Connecticut-based CRT Capital Group LLC said: “To know that asset sales are not yet in the cards has brought some relief to the Treasury market. “The auction will be the theme of the day. The three-year note usually generates a lot of foreign interest and should come down well.”

| Is this a smart investing strategy for stocks |
| posted by: Elmira Nancy @ Wed Mar 10, 2010 2:02 am |

If i look up the day's biggest decliners and then choose from those the ones that are at least 5% under their yearly average, and then set them to sell automatically once they gain 5% (essentially only having going back to the average) is this a good strategy? I know that no stock investment is safe but does this sound fairly conservative or not? |

German Government bonds ended on a positive side as Greece's 10-year bond rose on optimisim that the international support would help avert a greek debt crisis damping demand for the safest assets. Peter Schaffrik, fixed-income strategist at Commerzbank AG in London said: “The buzz word of the day was ‘EMF’ and the mere idea that has been floated around helped support spread products. The front end of the euro zone periphery is too cheap, and we recommend buying into weakness. As regards bunds, though, we believe in the opposite scenario: sell... |
