Janet S asked:
I applied for a job as a copy editor with an investment firm. I am highly qualified. I was tested, then interviewed by a comittee of five. After an hour of interviewing, I was told that I was no longer under consideration because I did not meet the requirement (NOT stated in the ad) of owning investments myself. Through no fault of mine, I have not been paid a living wage in seven years. The requirement that I hold investments – to edit copy – seems absurd and of doubtful legality. It discriminates against those trying to make a comeback, and those from the lower middle class who are “afraid” of investments and who need exposure to them in order to understand them.

Neolithisistic asked:
Do I need to claim the interest earned from the fund in my income taxes if my investments don’t exceed a specific amount? Additional factors include the following: I’m an American living in Thailand, earning Thai baht. I’m not on a work permit so therefor I’m “off the books” so to speak.

I am taking an investment class this semester. I need to make 500K in “phantom investments” into a program called Stock-Trak Simulation.
I am taking an investment class this semester. I need to make 500K in “phantom investments” into a program called Stock-Trak Simulation.
100K is allocated to a speculative portfolio and 400K is considered a permanent portfolio. In my permanent portfolio I need to buy 10 to 15 stocks from various industries and hold them to the end of semester (11/17/06). No more than 10 percent of the 400K can be from one industry.
Does anyone have any recommendations for this breakup of the 10 to 15 stocks for this timeframe? Any website recommendation for research or advice?
Is it still worth it to encourage foreign investments in the Philippines?
