Question by LongJohns: What do you think of the opinion you should never listen to investment experts; they are likely to be biased ?
Investment advice on various stocks by ‘experts’ seems to be an attempt to manipulate the stock price on things they hold – therefore we should be very wary of their advice.
Their advise should be based on first principles analysis of business performance and placing this in context of the market the business operates in combined with technical factors that might affect the share price or the small investor eg Currency movements and losses from currency conversion and transaction charges.
What should we take into account when considering their advice?

Answer by swenjj
they wont be able to manipulate the stock price unless its some little penny stock, then you shouldnt be buying it anyway
it is odd how people here say to not use a financial planner, to do it yourself, i don’t get that, if you dont know what you are doing with a car do you fix it yourself or have a pro do it? your investments are more important than a car so have a pro help you out
just ask some relatives and friends for a good trustworthy planner
if you are talking about online investment experts,then yes, 85% of them are spammers or scammers, or just give horrible advice, like here it seems the advice for beginning investors is forex and invest your own stocks, terrible advice for a beginner
EDIT: you are already getting that advice i warned about, a new investor (i think) and he is told not to get advice, but invest in croatia, yes,put a new guy in a single stock in a foriegn country, i wish i could roll my eyes here

Question by Count D Money: How can I educate myself to make intelligent investment decisions regarding my 401K?
I have picked up a rudimentary knowledge of the business world from reading the business section in the newspaper regularly, and I’m taking night school business classes so I can better understand my money. In the meantime, how can I make sense of how to allocate the portion of my paycheck I withold? The terminology and my lack of investing experience make this intimidating. I allocate at 5% biweekly. I am 25 years old.

Answer by digdowndeepnseattle
keep reading…read read read read. In the meantime, put your money where you feel comfortable sleeping at night. If that’s 100% in an Index 500 and going for the gusto or diversifying it and putting some in the Bonds/MM accounts so that you don’t worry about a market crash then do it.
As you become more experienced, concentrate on learning the categories…large cap/mid cap/small cap, growth vs income, hybrids, foreign versus international etc etc etc…Mutual Funds follow these categories and knowing them and how they work keeps you from weighting yourself too heavily in a sector that’s about to plunge.
Most importantly…don’t be intimidated. It’s really not that hard. And, you’re doing the most important thing already!!! Investing! Everything else is just info to help you do it smarter and cheaper.

Question by jo: When a bond investment is issued at a discount, subsequent amortization of the discount ?
When a bond investment is issued at a discount, subsequent amortization of the discount
A. increases interest expense.
B. decreases interest expense.
C. has no effect upon interest expense.
D. decreases interest in the bond.
What is the best answer?
Best answer:
Answer by Sarah
Your interest expense is based on what you paid. So, if you bought the bond at a discount (e.g. $ 700 instead of $ 1000), your interest expense will be based on the $ 700 for the first payment (interest will be less than if you bought at par). The discount is amortized such that the bond will be valued at par at maturity. So, interest will increase over the life of the bond because you multiply the interest rate times the remaining principle ($ 700 + amount already amortized).
So, as the discount is amortized and the remaining principle increases, the amortization of the discount increases interest expense.
