Question #2:

Will silver keep going up?

I'm 15 an I was thinking about investing in silver. For school money and other things. I judged wanted to ask the general public if they think that silver value will keep going up? I know theres no real way to tell but what do you think. Also if you think that there's a better thing to invest in, I'd appreciate the advice.

Question #3:

what is the true state of the deficit and is more of it a result of Obama or Bush?

It seems like the left and the right play with the numbers and can make different cases regarding all things including this, what are the real facts, appreciate input from anyone but would prefer independents who have a realistic view.

how much of our debt is really waste and how much of it is doing (or at least trying to ) do meaningful thing? like, in a persons life there is good and bad debt, if you go on bender or spending spree so much so that you are in debt that is negative, if you are investing in a car so that you can get to work, or a house so that you can get free from the landlord, that is positive

how much of our debt is for things like heath care reform that could save the nation money long term if successful and infrastructure that we need to keep the nation going and how much goes in the pockets of the corrupt? (or are these things even knowable?)

Question #4:

Tax Question about IRA's?

I'm married filing jointly my with is retired but had a AGI of $20,000 I had a AGI of $40,000. We use tax software to do our taxes and this year we inherited money with we wanted to put into a IRA. Jointly we qualified and we hesitated to put the IRA money into the software tax program until we actually invested. Before I opened a $5,000 traditional IRA and before my wife opened her traditional IRA we get back $83.00 federal and $200.00 state according to our tax software. We are going Monday to open my traditional IR'S hers $6000.00 mine $5,000.00. I decided today to go ahead and add the IRA in since I know this will happen. However tax software told me that after the investments are added to my 2011 tax return, my refund goes from $83.00 federal to over $3,000 as a refund. Does this sound correct?

Thanks in advance
Mark

im 19 years old and am in an ece course (early childhood education), i love children and i cannot stop dreaming about having a baby with my significant other,he's 21. we've been together a little over 3 years and have lived together for one. Im a lot more mature than people my age, i pay for everything i have and don't depend on my parents, I've never been in a bar/club and i can count the times I've drank on my hands, i study instead of parties and so on. I have 2 amazing nieces and my best friend who is 27 has a 2 year old son so i have seem the ups and downs. My partner and i have agreed to wait a few more years to try, so this way i will have my career finished and a good start towards paying off my loan and we will hopefully be investing in a house. so how can i treat this fever :( it is so powerful

Question #11:

did you know this strange fact that actually shortens your life....?

Did you know that whenever you fall asleep with noise (ex: a tv on, etc) it shortens your life? It is true. It causes stress your mind and body still register all the noises and it has a negative effect on your heart – it stresses it out. This is why everyone should invest in some ear plugs.

Question #12:

Why are Democrats alienating voters with abortion?

Until recently, I agreed with the Democrats on nearly every issue. I believed that healthcare was a right and that we need to invest more money in our schools, infrastructure, and towns. I thought that global warming was a pressing issue and the rich needed to be taxed more. But I always voted Republican, down the line, because I refuse to vote for a candidate that will allow children to be killed. I know that God would send me straight to hell if I vote for a child-killer, ever. I've recently realized my left-wing economic beliefs were stupid after reading Milton Friedman's and F.A. Hayek's books. But I think that left-wing economics are far more palatable to everyday Americans than abortion, which is the killing of innocent human life and goes against all tenets of Christianity.

Democrats, why were you stupid enough to promote abortion? It's caused you to lose countless elections in middle America. FDR won states like Kansas and Nebraska despite his ultra-left-wing economic stances because he didn't support abortion.
@Ding Fries: Nice use of a straw man argument.
@Joshua: Why not get rid of welfare too? Just let the free market take care of things. You can get rid of abortion and welfare.
@bash: Romney is not my preferred candidate, but God would want me to vote for the lesser of two evils

Question #14:

Bullet Resistant Plates?

I am investing in a Bullet Resistant Vest for Police Explorers, and I found a great carrier. I am now looking at plates, and have been considering getting Rifle Resistant Ceramic Plates. I was wondering, will these stop handgun bullets, too? I see no reason why they wouldn't, I just want to double check.

Question #15:

Are online job applications a waste of time?

I have invested a lot of my time into this. I have applied for Best Buy, Sports Authority, AMC Movie Theaters, Toys R US, Taco Bell, Sears, Auto Zone, Home Depot, Macy's, Pizza Hut, Petco, Jersey Mike's, Starbucks, Boston Market, TGI Friday's, and I believe that's it or there's more lol. But not once have I got a phone call or got an email. I mean who looks at the online applications when you sent them.

Question #16:

Question #17:

What should I change about this PC set-up?

So I'm not too great with building computers. I've researched a lot and I've picked out a set-up from parts on newegg and what I've seen from TigerDirect because there is a store very close to me. So the question is, what changes should I make to my list. I think I'd do fine if money was no objection, but I want to stick to a very optimized build, (I'd like something close $1000, but I want to max out most games I play and I know that's too much of a stretch) and I'd like to spend no more than $2000. Heres My current list:
Case: Thermaltake Level 10 GT $250
GPU: (2) 6970 Radeon Cards $600
CPU: i7 2600K $350
RAM: (2) 16GB Kingston RAM (about) $200
CD Drives: 1 BluRay Drive and 1 DVD Drive $100
Power Supply: 850W Power Supply (about) $140
Hard drive: 1TB Western Digital Cavier w/6.0 Gb/s SATA to try to match a SSD

I also have a misc of cooling equipment for about $200 and some ethernet card for about $100.
I'm also not sure if I need a sound card or how to pick it out.

Some questions I'd like answered besides the question of optimization for price and performance is
1) Tiger Direct will charge me $200 to build my computer for me and help me pick out parts; is it worth it?
2) What is the reliability of a built PC? I really don't want to blow such a huge amount of money
3) What suggestions would you make? Is Radeon better than Nvidia? Should I use intel of AMD processors?
4) What motherboard would work for me? What is the purpose of a motherboard and Is it worth investing more than $100-200?

Thanks in advance
I didn't make it too clear, but can you evaluate the purpose of a sound card, it's necessity, and a good price range for one?

Question #18:

Is it possible to make money from Facebook's IPO?

Facebook shares are overhyped and if lots of people are rushing to buy them when the company goes for an IPO, they should be overpriced and drop pretty rapidly afterwards. If I get a loan so I have some money can I, like, short-sell a bunch of shares or something? I don't know anything about how investing works but I'm pretty sure these shares are gonna be going down.

Question #19:

How to buy shares. I can't seem to find shares listed on any broker's sites?!?

Hi,

I've been trying all day to invest in a company however when I go do brokers sites they don't list the company. They're listed on yahoo finance and you can see share prices. I can't however seem to find them on any broker's sites when using their search facility.

The company is called North Springs Resources Corp. All I want to do is invest some money why is it so complicated?!

I would really appreciate some help on this,

Many Thanks,
Kiran
for example when I go to

Click Here

I have the opportunity to search for stocks by company name is EPIC. I can't seem to find the company I am looking for on this site or any others. I understand that I have to open an account but if they are offering the opportunity to search on their home page before opening an account why can't I find NSRS listed?

Question #20:

Super Confused Hobbyist .....Should I upgrade from Nikon DX to FX?

My story: I picked up photography for slightly over a year, started with a used d5000 and a couple of kit lenses totally love picture taking. Anything goes: vacation, family, landscapes, travel, food, portrait etc.
owned d90 for a short while, and got d7000 when it was released totally blew me away. More camera than my skills as a photographer, love the image quality.
I started with a 18-200 to replace 3 kit lenses. Then I discovered the bokeh of 50mm 1.4 and 35mm 1.8, and started playing with those.
Shooting pictures and trying out different lenses become my big time hobby for the entire year.

And now I am kinda confused whether I should go FX, despite everyone seems to go that route. One big thing is about being DX is not able to go wider than FX, but DX have so many cheap wide angles it's not really an issue anymore (the sigma 8-16 is 12mm FX equivalent). Some say DX is good for telephoto coz it's cropped giving you extra focal length, but you can do cropped mode in FX too. Then some say FX has incredible ability to shoot in low light and high ISO, but the D7000 is so good I dont know if D700 is worth the upgrade.

And then some say invest in lenses, not cameras, and I did.
I have both nikkor DX lenses and FX pro lenses, and the only reason I have FX lenses is because they have better colors and bokeh from its faster aperture. The 85mm 1.4, 35mm 1.4, 24mm 1.4, 24-70 70-200VR2 I cant seem to get rid of them. I am missing 14-24 coz it's not wide enough on a DX. But sometimes I wonder a dx camera isnt bringing out their potential?

But the gears are getting heavier and heavier I think a d700 plus grip is going to give me neck problems soon..........

All in all I am curious to hear what seasoned photographers think. I dont shoot for a living. I want the best quality in my pictures. Perhaps I dont know the goodness of FX cameras well enough. I know I should go back and learn my photography skills rather than getting addicted over gears, but right now I am confused whether FX is the way to go. D700 might be a little dated but D800 is right around the corner. Yet the d7000 is so good without all the cost and weight...

Yeah maybe I should just go to sleep but I have been troubled for weeks LOL
Thank you guys!!! 3 perfect answers!
1. Borrow a FX and just try it out. Dont think I will EVER PRINT. It's all for eyecandy enjoyment on the screen
2. There are certainly areas that I am not exposed to shooting yet, like sports or macro. Maybe when I have a kid years down the road I will start to shoot him playing sports. I should save the money for that!
3. That's right!! A good picture is what to aim for. Doesnt matter how I got it. As long as I am satisfied with the picture, off to shooting!!
