How to sell and buy stock without commision fee?
in
I use this website and there's a commision fee of 7 dollar per but and sell and it's annoying. How do I do it so that tere is no commision fee involved?
Answer:
The commission is the price you pay for the broker to conduct your transaction - remember brokerages are in the business of making money, why would they want to do something for free ? Nevertheless, some brokers will offer some types of trades (some mutual funds, ETFs, etc) for free in an effort to attract customers who will pay for something else. See reference for a review of major brokers. While your goal is a good one (to pay as little for commissions as you can), you may want to choose a broker that offers other features that make it worthwhile to pay the commission asked.
If you learn how to invest and trade well, you won't worry too much about the commissions. Do an online (Google, Yahoo, etc) search for 'how to learn investing and trading' ... there are many good sites with much useful information - find a site you like, read some, and come back daily and read some more.
Good luck!

How to start a hedge fund and get a degree involving sports?
in
I want to start my own hedge fund. But I also want to do something with sports on the side. Advice? College degrees?
Answer:
You don't need a college degree to start a hedge fund. Not sure what you want to do with sports but you do not need a degree to become involved with sports.
BUT to be successful and start a hedge fund you have to work hard and learn the investment business, understand accounting, the markets and all the investment products traded in those markets and then you will need to understand the rules and regulations that govern, not only the markets but also the products traded in those markets.

How to compare the magnitude of the banking sector and the stock market?
in
How can they classify a country as bank based or market based. Is there any indicator to show that the banking sector is bigger than the stock market or vice versa?
Answer:
1. For the purpose, one can compare the 'bank deposits' or 'total assets of banks' with the 'Aggregate Market Capitalisation'.
2. Market capitalisation of a company means share price multiplied by number of shares of the company.
3. The 'Aggregate Market Capitalisation' is the aggregate of capitalisation of of all the listed companies.
3. A moving average of, say, 3 years, of Aggregate Market Capitalisation can be used for the purpose, as, at times, there are wild fluctuations in the Aggregate Market Capitalisation.

How to use Stop loss in sell order side?

I am using canmoney as my broker. I dont know where to enter my Target price and Stop loss price.
Brought share price - 100.00
Target price - 101.00
Stop loss - 99.00

Answer:
Your "order" type must be "stop loss order".
While entering order "
1. Quantity for sell - what ever number of shares you have bought
2. Price - 99.00
3. Trigger price - either 99 or bit above 99 e.g. 99.05 or so. Trigger price must be either same or bit more than the price at which you wish to stop the loss. This is in case of "sell" stop loss orders. In case of "buy" stop loss order it will be more.
How to pick up a good share on the stock market?
in
I'm new to stock market and I'd like to know what to consider before you buy something on the market? Also, is there any forum or helping websites out there to help? Thanks for any answer.
Answer:
You have to know about what you're investing in. For example, if you understand the computer industry then you may want to see about purchasing shares in companies that are in related industries. You should purchase shares of stock in things that you understand. If you really think about it there may be many things that you have enough knowledge about to know whether companies in those industries are worth buying.
Research is very important. If you go to EDGAR online you can find reports that public companies have filed. The 10K and 10Q reports are the most important because they will give you information specific about most companies that are publicly traded. You can learn a great deal about specific companies and investing in general just by reading them.
If you know how to decide what a stock is worth on a per-share basis then you will know whether it is worth buying at its current price. Remember that a stock's price is not the value of the stock. It can be equal to that value but most of the time it is priced at more or less than actual value.
In order to understand what the actual value is you have to know about the balance sheet, the income statement and the statement of cash flows. You also need to know the number of shares outstanding. The number of shares outstanding is the number of shares the company has actually sold to the public. When doing your calculations on the different financail statements you will divide the totals by the number of shares outstanding. The number of shares outstanding is always found toward the top of the report.
The two books that are the most excellent for learning about how to decide what stocks to pick are The Intelligent Investor and Security Analysis. Each one has very good advice about how to value a company and also explains different caluclations that will help you decide if a given company is worth purchasing.
The idea is to be careful about what you invest in. The idea is to make your money work as hard for you as you did to earn it. That means carefully researching each stock you purchase.
How to invent a product with no investment money ?
in
I have a long list of great ideas for inventions. I want to officially invent one of my products, and to do that I would need investment money for a patent attorney and other things. So my question is, is there any way to borrow money or to somehow receive money to invest in my inventions ? I'm only 17 and just don't have the money.
Answer:
Many small inventors file a provisional patent application ($125) to reserve their rights for up to a year and then (confidentially) shop the invention around to various investors who will be interested in helping develop a product and to fund the necessary protection for their investment, namely getting the actual patent filed (thousands of dollars). Consider "angel" money from people who don't expect to ever get it back (but they want to help you succeed for other reasons), as well as venture capital, where they are willing to risk it but really want to get rich on your ideas.
You want to keep your invention as confidential as possible so you can minimize the risk that someone will hear about it and beat you to the market, knowing your patent won't be enforceable for at least three years.

_____________________________________
***ERR: For Reference Purposes***
-The internal rate of return ROR method includes the possibility of multiple rates satisfying the criterion of the rate that makes the present value = 0. The ERR is an alternative method which is based on:
-ERR is the rate which makes the future value of Costs (- cash flows)
= the future value of the revenues (+ cash flows) invested at the reinvestment rate for surplus funds (usually the MARR, Minimum Attractive Rate of Return).
The external rate of return is not a true ROR like the internal rate but it may be easier to calculate, especially if there are swings of negative to positive to negative cash flows during the life of an investment.
The function ‘err is satisfactory only when there are alternating + and
- cashflows.\ i.e. minimum of: + - or - + -.
The ERR appears to be a dual rate situation but there is only one unknown rate and it is exactly the same as the internal ROR when the PV of the positive flows equals the PV of the negative flows at the same discount rate.
