Wall Street and The USA Economy - Investing Questions



Question #1:

Should I continue to be close friends with her after being rejected?

So here's the story:Last year, during the june holidays, i started talking to this girl a lot. At first, we were really just friends, normal friends, and she had a boyfriend at that time. But one night she suddenly texted me and told me that I am her closest friend in class and all sorts of stuff(by that time she already broke up with her boyfriend) and at that time i already sort of have a crush on that girl. And so then after that day, i started texting her a lot, like from morning till night.

I also frequently went out with her for lunch, or movies and stuff during the holidays. Our friendship grew pretty strong then. Then one night, during a class gathering, I confessed to her. But she rejected me and said she doesn't see us that way, I was cool with it but after that i told her i'd try a second time. She kinda smiled.

When school re-opens, our 'friendship' grew even stronger. We'd go home together everyday after school(I'll walk her home), I still went out with her for movies and dinners. We sit very close together in class/outside(thighs touching), I'd play with her hair, lean towards her, pat her etc....Sometimes I make her small little love notes and give her some small little gifts. She accepted them but dint really do much with it. and of course,in school rumours were already flying around. But she doesn't seem to really mind. But we still address each other as friends and when others ask of our relationship status, she'd only say friends.

After around 3 months of such a confusing relationship, I decide to try to make it official again. (she's driving me nuts by the minutes and its affecting my studies) I tried again, but she still rejected me, and her reason is that she wants someone who is more sporty(probably due to the fact that she's some national sports team and I'm not) and she says doesn't want a relationship right now. By then I totally gave up. But I do not want to lose her as a friend and neither does she, and so i still try to continue to be her close friend minus away the flirting parts... But i also spent more time on other friends to invest on other relationships. (I needed some distance away to heal myself). I stopped 'touching' her as much or doing things that would otherwise cause confusion of us being in a relationship. She kinda got the notion and started keeping more apart too. Sometime later, i just stopped texting her and hanging out with her as often. But at one point of time, she started getting rather hostile towards me, (declining my invitations, sitting and walking apart, stop looking at me when we speak and even getting irritated very easily at me.) So we drifted further and sometimes even ignored or avoided each other.

During December holidays, i barely even contacted her at all. When school reopens(she's still in the same class as me), she was more friendly, but we still dont talk that much. More like hi-bye friends. All the while, I was trying to forget her. And it was quite successful, except I still kinda missed the intimacy we once shared. I remember promising her I wouldn't abandon our friendship for anything in the world, but we hardly knew what each other do for the weekends now..

I'm not sure what should I do...I'm not sure how she feels about this too...but we seem to be getting along our live pretty well. Is it better to let it stay this way? Should I try to repair the damaged friendship? Should I try to talk to her again? Would it be weird if I suddenly try to get more involved in her life after a few months of cool down period? I'm badly confused right now and would really welcome opinions on this. Thanks

Question #2:

When real estate investing what is the minimum for a down payment on a house?

I'm wanting to purchase a home and rent it out as a landlord. This will be my very first home that I purchase and rent out to a tenant. Do I need at least $100,000 in order to start or can you start under $10,000?

Question #3:

What is the best investment for 10000 dollars?

I recently came into some money and want to take ten thousand of it for investing. I would like something that is reasonably safe with the highest return possible. I guess that's what everyone wants, but I don't know which route would be the wisest. Thinking about a CD but think i would like a better return than that would give.

Question #4:

Something we can all agree on?

America's role in the future of world supremacy is being challenged with world powers like China. All be it China will be experiencing an extreme amount of turmoil once human rights force the Chinese government to stop paying their people slave wages.

This being taken into account, we must train our future generations to remain competitive in the world market place, wouldn't it be a far better investment for Obama to be working on education reform and investing in our youth than dividing the country with this extremely unpopular health care bill?

I know I for one would not mind paying more taxes for our children to have a stronger and far more relevant primary education than paying for health care that threatens capitalism in the United States as we know it.

Question #5:

The city shut off our electricity!?

We've been wealthy until my parents invested $100,000 in the stock market last week and lost so much money. It was a mistake, and we shouldn't have owed anything since we payed the full amount last month. And we won't be able to pay it for a few days since my Dad isn't done with a job yet, so I'm really worried about no electricity. He said he might just write a check and hope it doesn't bounce before he gets payed for the job he is working on. I can't believe I'm poor now! This sucks!!

Why would i not simply invest my money instead of putting it in an ira?

this way i can manage my retirement and retire when i want to without penalty.
if i had a roth ira no company matching.
does the govt. not tax intrest and income on roth ira?

Question #9:

PhD from Capella University Online?

I am planning on pursuing my PhD in Instructional Design and Online Learning at Capella. I just wanted to hear from others who are currently enrolled in that degree program or who have completed that degree program about their experiences with it. Before I invest thousands of dollars, I want to make sure the piece of paper (degree) I walk out with will not be deferred because it's from an "online" school versus a brick mortar school. If you have this degree, did you experience any setbacks with it? Those still in the program, do you enjoy your classes, how are the professors, any other insight? Thanks in advance for any insight. I just don't want to regret later and think that I should have gone to Drexel University as a brick and mortar student. I completed my BS at a brick and mortar (Temple University) with a few online classes, went to Drexel for my MS and did a completely online MS program there and really like the flexibility offered with distance learning. I'd like to continue, but only if it's not going to bar me from being considered for career advancements, etc. Any insight and advice would be appreciated.

Question #10:

How bad it is to exhile man to the couch?

My man has a hang-up about the phrase "you are sleeping on the couch" - he uses the phrase in jokes with other people, but whenever I use it (even as a joke) - he gets angry and whatever made me say that gets forgotten and the only thing he sees is " you are sleeping on the couch" - as he starts the rant - "this is MY house and I decide where I am sleeping, and YOU cannot tell me what to do" although I have invested my own money and labour into this house too, and before the argument it is always "our house". Same goes for any other time when I am trying to make him do something he doesn't want to do (which is usually not even for me, but for his own benefit) - he becomes angry and it becomes "his house" and I'd "have no right of telling him what to do in his own house".

this hurts me a lot and the thing that I usually say that as a joke, without even thinking (because everyone says that all the time!) and I cannot even get back to the discussing of the issue in connection with which the joke has been said.

I don't know what to do about it. All the other times he's nice and loving etc..


Has anyone ever been in situation like that?
wow, after a flood of answers - (thanks all by the way) I just want to clarify something, because people get carried away on what's not there:

1) I have never been controlling at all, and I only say "that" phrase when I feel completely powerless and nothing else works, it sleeps out and that happes like, once or twice in a year or so, because normally he has as much freedom as he likes to make his own decisions.

2) The "MY house" thing happens without "the couch" phrase, when I really want him to do something very important that he doesn't wants to do (I am not including household chores)

2) This is my house too as far as I am concerned, as I have also invested lots of money in it, and worked on it when we were doing it up till my hands blistered and bled.

Question #11:

Would the WWE be on its *** if Cena left?

Even Michael Cole said it. 'Cena is the reason people watch RAW.' That doesn't say a great deal about the rest of the roster!

If he got into Hollywood or got injured! Vince would well panic! I bet though he has him on a rigid 10 year contract or something!

That's why i think it's dangerous just investing in just one man!

Question #12:

Seriously, I am thinking of investing some cash in a bunch of tee-shirts that read "Pactard" and "MoneyMo",?

If you saw one on a souvenir stand would you buy one?

Question #13:

I have to find a product or business to sell for my marketing final! please help?

I'm really bad at marketing! So i need help thinking of an idea. It has to be something that my teacher would want to invest 20 million in (or something like that). And I can make my teacher anyone. Like a young teenager or and old woman. But I need help thinking of something kind of easy! Any suggestions or ideas for me?? please please help! thanks!

Question #14:

Why do government programs exist for things we KNOW can be done on an individual level?

I'm 17 so I might be a little naive about this. I'm wondering why things that can be done on an individual or private level like medical care, education and social protection are run by the government? Isn't it inefficient and risky?

I'm not dissing seniors who have Medicare, its worked for now but its unsustainable. All of the profits are being used for further government spending and eventually the program will be run on a deficit. If we never had this program, families would be tight knit. Our society will HAVE to encourage kids to do good in school, go to college and get a good job in order to take care of their parents. That's why kids have so much more drive in countries like India and China. They know that it will be their responsibility to take care of their parents and not the government and tax payers.Also, people will be more encouraged to invest or save up for the future. Cuts to Medicaid and Social Security wouldn't help the poor,but it would encourage them to strive for a better future. As long as welfare is good enough for people to become completely dependent on it, there won't be any motivation for people to help themselves.

Education is another story. Isn't it more efficient to privatize? The college prep high school I attend is partly funded by large private corporations and partly by the government so its sustainable.When you so much tax dollars going toward failing schools, we're better off privatizing. If parents have to PAY for their kid going to school, all the more reasons to expect more out of the youth. Since our society lack's an immediate sense of dependency on the next generation, it might even explain our high divorce rates.

So basically, what logic is there with these unsustainable programs? Cutting all of these programs and making individuals families accountable for their own future would make the country stronger and not a "welfare republic". Plus the government will become smaller and with less influence. The collected taxes can be used for things that can't be done individually or privately like maintaining a strong military,space exploration, conducting large scale research and providing law enforcement, emergency services and disaster relief.

So would we overall be better off without those large entitlement programs?

Question #15:

Are Fox Chi good puppies to invest in?

I know they're a mixed breed, but I'm wondering is there anything basic to know about these type of puppies. I'm thinking about getting one and I'm trying to do as much research as I can. Any info would be great. Thanks!
I meant buying one. Not investing.

Question #16:

What small cap funds, emerging market funds, and international funds are you invested in?

What is your approximate asset allocation?

What small cap funds, emerging market funds, and what international funds are you currently invested in and what percentage of your stock allocation is in each?

several question there and I am just looking for approximations percent wise.

Question #17:

Is America leading the Zionist Crusader Alliance? Could boycotting banks end it?

The primary culprits are Chase, Citi and J.P. Morgan. But these are the tip of the iceberg. Banking, as we know it, is a sleazy, dirty racket – a license to steal. Their dives should be used for monthly checking only. Plastic is out altogether. Funds should be invested in trustworthy tangibles.
This answer was chosen for it's agreement on the proposal offered.

Everyone knows that the
Rockefeller/Rothschild banking cartel is behind Globalism, with all it entails. And Globalism is the foe. If you have to slay a beast, target it's vitals. No money = no power.

It's difficult to believe, others say they see no problem. Doubtless, they also love The Fed. It is this arrangement whereby government borrows money rather than issues it, together with the banking industry's general abuse of usury and fractional lending, which have brought the country to a crisis point.

One way or another, let's kill the beast. And the beast is the world banking industry.

Mr. May's thoughts concerning the Constitution ring a bell for out-of-the-box thinking. The basis for his ideas is familiar, but my view is that we live in a finite world. Any operative concept of practicability has to be relative. We must temper any notion of 'perfection' with a view of human limitation.

Question #18:

If I invest $1000 every year to a savings account from the age 18, then what age would i become a millionaire?

just curious, i remember hearing something about doing that so i was interested. I am 14 years old so i have i little while to think about it. Please try to assume some things like what the interest rate might be. No answers that say "depends"

Question #19:

Do you know Grade 11 mix math? Please Help?

Your Guardian Angel gives you $4000 and you want to invest it for 7 years.
Bank A offers 8.25%/a compounded semi-annually

Thank You.

Question #20:

How does free websites produce money?

Hi ^^

How does new websites as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc. produce money?

All of them are free-sites. I've even read that megacorps as Microsoft, Yahoo, Apple have invested and mantain financial interest in all this services.

So, what's the business behind them? Advertising, marketing, publicity?

Thank You!
