1. the economy is cyclical it will go up and down. don't worry about it
2. Face facts sweetie. We're in a recession, no matter what the talking heads are saying & that just means trouble all around. Wait a bit, as stocks are going down now & buy low. Good luck! HelenKeller
3. bad idea...it has nothing to do with the election on a longer term basis...it's just a speed bump. If the Fed keeps helping out, we will be lucky to stay flat...longer term.
4. I think it will do down. I am still waiting for the result from my tool. It is the first commercially available stock trading robot. I have been using it for 4 months. You can try it http://www.my-linker.com/hop/doublingstockcom
5. at this point you should wait before investing any money. people are just waking up to the fact that we are in a recession and the market will move without influence from the election. wait until we have hit bottom and the market is acting strongly before investing in any stocks.
6. If republicans win, the market will go up, if democrats win the market will tank. BUT, either way long run the market will go up. I don't think gaming the markets like you're suggesting is a good idea. I don't think we're in a recession as helen suggests. I've never heard of a recession with 3% GDP growth and only 5% unemployment. Helen - Per wikipedia "a recession is a decline in a country's gross domestic product (GDP), or negative real economic growth, for two or more successive quarters of a year." You suggested that we are in a recession and that it is a fact. You are wrong, it is not a fact. We may be in a recession but no one can yet know this as a fact.
7. Top 10 Scrips to INVEST in 2008 when the Indian Stock Markets fall: Reliance Industries (RELIANCE), Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), NTPC, Bharti Airtel (BHARTIARTL), State Bank of India (SBIN), Larsen & Toubro (LT), Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL), Steel Authority of India (SAIL), Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC). Savings Bank accounts are accounts maintained by banks that pay interest but cannot be used directly as money (by, for example, writing a cheque). These accounts let customers set aside a portion of their liquid assets that could be used to make purchases while earning a monetary return. All savings accounts offer itemized lists of all financial transactions, traditionally through a bank passbook, but also through a bank statement. In India, a demat account, the abbreviation for dematerialized account, is a type of banking account which dematerializes paper-based physical stock (equity) shares. The dematerialized account is used to avoid holding physical equity shares: the equity shares are bought and sold through a stock broker. This account is popular in India. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) mandates a demat account for equity share trading even One equity share. As of April 2006, it became mandatory that any person holding a demat account should posses an Income Tax Permanent Account Number (PAN), and the deadline for submission of PAN details to the depository lapsed on January 2007. Procedure: 1. Fill demat request form (DRF) (obtained from a depository participant or DP with whom your depository account is opened). 2. Deface the equity share certificate(s) you want to dematerialize by writing across Surrendered for dematerialization. 3. Submit the DRF & equity share certificate(s) to DP. DP would forward them to the issuer / their R&T Agent. 4. After dematerialization, your depository account with your DP would be credited with the dematerialized securities. The benefits: - A safe and convenient way to hold securities; - Immediate transfer of securities; - No stamp duty on transfer of securities; - Elimination of risks associated with physical equity share certificates such as bad delivery, fake securities, delays, thefts etc; - Reduction in paperwork involved in transfer of securities; - Reduction in transaction cost; - No odd lot problem, even one equity share can be sold; - Nomination facility; - Change in address recorded with DP gets registered with all companies in which investor holds securities electronically eliminating the need to correspond with each of them separately; - Transmission of securities is done by DP eliminating correspondence with companies; - Automatic credit into demat account of equity shares, arising out of bonus/split/consolidation/merger etc. - Holding investments in equity and debt instruments in a single account. Required Documents: The extent of documentation required to open a demat account may vary according to your relationship with the institution. If you plan to open a demat account with a bank, a savings account holder has an edge over the non-account holder. In fact, banks usually offer additional incentives to customers who open a demat account with them. Along with the application form, your photographs (with co-applicants) and proof of identity/residence/date of birth have to be submitted. The DPs also ask for a DP-client agreement to be executed on non-judicial stamp paper. Here is a broad list (you won’t need all of them though): Income tax PAN card / Voter’s ID / Passport / Ration card / Driver’s license / Photo credit card / Employee ID card / Bank attestation / Income Tax returns / Electricity bill / Landline phone bill While they only ask for photocopies of the documents, they will need the originals for verification. You will have to submit 8 passport size photographs on which you sign across.
