tsloan71 asked: Is it possible that by selling major oil companies stock and re-fusing to purchase in vestments with those companies would that force these companies to drop the market value for there product? If this resource is being traded as a commodity instead of using the don’t buy gas from that company to force price change. Would it not be more effective if everyone sold stock in those companies and re-fursed to purchase stock or investments with those compnies and sub-companies to bring the price of oil down???

indigo7us asked: Would the tax benefits of the mortgage outweigh the income from the dividends? – Providing that I have good credit and that capital gains tax is not an issue with the sale of the investments.
So basically is it better to have a fully paid off home or to keep that money in the stock market?

Brooke22365 asked: My son and daugther are 4.5 years apart in age. My son was the first grandchild and my grandmother showered him with various stocks and investments. By the time my daughter came along, there were too many great-grandchildren and Grandma couldn’t keep up. I want to even my kids up, but my daughter shouldn’t have the same amount as my son as she’s younger. Is there some formula that I can use to determine how much my daughter should have compared to my son to insure that they’re somewhat close in value when they take over the accounts when they’re grown. Obviously, subject to market fluctuations. When I buy an investment now, I buy the same one for both, so that if one pick is good or bad, they’re affected equally.

Gary T asked: I have next to zero experience in investing, since I am just out of high school. I have around 2000-4000 dollars I am willing to invest in medium-risk investments. Although I’ve done a bit of research myself, I’d like to get a rundown of what is safe yet shows good growth. I know high-risk would involve small-cap “penny” stocks, while for a safer bet there are Mutual Funds. Yet my cash is limited, and I’m not willing to do anything risky, such as margin accounts for stocks. Can anyone please explain what I should really do with my money for the best growth?
