Daniel C asked:


I don’t have a lot of understanding of how it all works out, but I’ve heard since I was in middle school that I should invest. There’s mutual funds and there’s buying stocks from companies. I know what the difference between stock and bonds are, I just want to know what is the best way to invest? It would seem that mutual funds are the way to go, since they’re investments in different companies, but there have to be some cons.

screwed asked:


I am planning on making some investments outside the country (stock market investments). Can I access the profits while living in the US or will I have to pay capital gains taxes on it? If so, how much will I have to pay say for $10,000 in profits?

“Kh a a a a a n n” ! ! asked:


I have some mutual funds which are made up of very conservative investments - nothing too risky. Over the past few decades this fund has done nothing but grow slowly. Sometimes it goes down a bit, sometimes it spikes a bit, but overall it shows a pattern of growth, which is great.

What will happen to these investments if we go into a bad recession?

Will they decrease in value a lot?

Should I try and head this off by changing my portfolio? Or just ride it out?

Thanks!

seal asked:


I have an advisor who isn’t advising very well. I’m not getting much bang for the fees that I pay. The investments I’ve made on my own are outperforming the funds my advisor controls. I don’t really want to transfer to another advisor, who will do the same job of ignoring my needs. I’d like to transfer everything to myself, since I can’t sell anything in this down market. How do I go about this?

calmarnet asked:


I always hear people saying that diversifying your investments. I would like to know what exactly it means. I checked many places like wikipedia or the capital asset pricing model. None of them states clearly what exactly diversifying means in real practice.

guillerminelgrande asked:


Where can I find statistical data, from a reliable source, about how many households (I’m looking specifically for middle-class, but global stats would also do) have investments in the stock market?. I don’t mean trust funds or other “indirect” investments but people actually buying and trading stocks.

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.
