i have a project in econ class, and i have to buy 3 to 5 stocks, and we’re given $10,000 (fake obviously), but i don’t know which stocks i should buy, and who ever ends up with the most money at the end of 5 weeks gets a prize, and i think it’s extra credit, which i really really want.

so far i’m thinking about…
the dow chemical co. (DOW:US)
the NASDAQ OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ:US)
delphi (DPHIQ:US)

Are these good to buy?
any ideas on which stocks i should buy that will give me a lot more money?

currently i am a college student and i am planning on investing in the stock market. i dont have a job but have some savings and i would like to invest about 100 dollars or less. i would like to invest into a few stocks so that i might get a profit. i would like to know what are the best stocks to invest in?

The Boomers are a demographic bulge of people whose movement through time has affected many parts of USA in many ways. At present a lot of them are fairly heavily invested in portfolios of mutual funds.

But they are all going to reach “retirement age” at about the same time. Once a person retires they no longer have earned income coming in from a “job”. Once they start taking their social security, it costs a lot to go back to “work” at a “paying job”. They lose their ability to make up any losses that they may experience in the equities markets. Whatever losses they have to take there have a permanent and non-reversible impact on their quality of life going forward, from age 65.

Accordingly their risk tolerance goes way down. In fact, it may go down far enough that they no longer really want to take any risk at all. They want their golden years to be 100% predictable, not dicey and not on a roller coaster with equities markets.

They might feel more comfortable in a bond portfolio, with plenty of diversitification, including governments T-Bills, TIPS, foreign bonds, high grade corporate bonds, warrents, and convertible debentures, and various kinds of short term commercial paper.

If this tipping point comes, it could happen cataclysmic style, in say, a single week, or even a single trading day.It’s like a herd of buffalo that just gets spooked. They all start running for the exit door at the same moment because there’s a big price to be paid for being late to exit a cataclysmic dropping market.

If this seems like an incredible statement to you, take a look at the history of 1929 and the stock market crash. The crash fed on itself. It happened because it was happening. The trend is your friend, until it’s not, and then you better pay yourself first by liquidating and taking your cash off the table.

Now the probability of such a scenario in the year 2010 is what I’m interested in. That’s my question.

You could answer using regular adjectives like “slightly probable” or “very probable” or “almost impossible” or “extremely likely”.

Or, if you are a mathematician, like me, you could give me a number between 0 and 1 like:

P = .25 or P = .55, or P = .95, or P = .05

Another way of examining this question has to do with the marginal propensity of the generations after the Boomer Generation to step in and snap up the shares as the boomers unload them and cash out. If you think there’s lots and lots of propensity like that, then a massive sell off would be accompanied second by second by a massive buy up, so all the market would reveal would be high volume — maybe a week or two of those days.

On the other hand if the marginal propensity of the Teeny Boppers, the Gen Xers and the Gen Yers and the Millenials to buy shares in equities is low, then in a cataclysmic sell-off, it would be all sellers and very few buyers, sort of like 1929.

The discipline of Market Psychology is becoming increasingly acceptable partly due to Soros, and his newest book about Reflexivity. The market may not have any real anchor in “fair market value”. It may not have a tendancy to “return to equilibrium” as 1000 Economics books loudly bray every year, and have for the past 50 years. Markets may move in non-repeating ways that’s more like history than it is like cyclical wave functions.

Anyhow, although I’m grateful for any civil remarks you care to offer, very grateful actually, I’m not looking for a treatise so much as a number and maybe a few sentences to just tell me why you think that number is right. Thank you so much, Dolphin314etc

It appears at an initial glance that Apple would be ‘growing’ as a company and improving its profitability as a company, but its stocks have plummetted year-to-date. Can somebody please explain the reasons behind the stock tumbling? Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) — even this consumer tech darling couldn’t escape the claws of the bears as worries over demand for its products increased. AAPL, one of the stocks that actually had a positive day Monday and closed at $98.14, is down 50.45% YTD, 38.73% this past month.
