what are some good small-cap value stocks to invest in over the next few months? Why are you just assuming that I'll take any answer I get and run over to my Fidelity account and invest right away? I've already been trading in the stock market for over 2 years and have probably made a larger return on my interest than you have in your savings account. Maybe a small-cap value stock that'll appreciate in the next few months is impossible for you, but don't assume that because you can't find success others can't find it. And phishing in random areas of the net is one of the best ways to discover new options at the same time as insiders. If you don't have anything interesting to say, then stop lecturing detectives on their method of sleuthing.

Examples of IRA investing use a rate of 8+% compounded int. Which IRA invs did this well over past 10 yrs? I do not know of any 401K or IRA available investments in any of the plans I have from 3 jobs that would have provided an actual return any where near 8-9% compounded interest per year over the past 10 years. What real investments would have done this well among commercially available mutual funds (growth, small cap, bond, etc), and how do I pick one of those? I've never seen one. The good picks are break even over that time period, and the absolute best choices may have increased by 50% in 10 years. I don't see how anyone doubles or triples their retirement investing in 10 years. It seems like a game played by financial advisors to take people's money. You would have been better off buying real estate in NYC than investing in your retirement by 100, 200% or more.

Statistics for investing--correlation help!!? Here's my problem: A mutual-funds company's newsletter says, "A well-diversified portfolio includes assets with low correlations." The newsletter includes a table of correlation between the returns on various classes of investments. For example, the correlation between municipal bonds and large-cap stocks is 0.50, and the correlation between municipal bonds and small-cap stocks is 0.21. a.) Rachel invests heavily in municipal bonds. She want to diversity by adding an investment whose returns do not closely follow the returns on her bonds. Should she choose large-cap stocks or small-cap stocks for this purpose? Explain your answer. b.) If Rachel wants an investment that tends to increase when the return on her bonds drop, what kind of correlation should she look for? This isn't a real investing question, it's just a problem in my homework that I have no idea how to figure out. Please help me....

What is your school of thought for investing? Currently, I am reading two books on investing of opposite strategies. On one hand, I am reading Jim Cramer's Real Money book where he believes the market is not 100% efficient and there is money to be made that beats the indexes by a decent return. Year after year, these are found in the small cap, less discussed stocks. On the other hand, I am reading "A Random Walk Down Wallstreet," which discusses investing behavior and how people through the centuries have been burnt by "castles in the sky." This book recommends value investing the Warren Buffet way in ETF's, etc. Warren Buffet said in his 2005 letter (paraphrased), "Investors have had a string of good returns but have learned any number multiplied by zero equals zero." Basically, I am just looking for some conversation on which school of thought you believe in and why. Thanks in advance and I apologize for any spelling/grammar errors. Ed, what would I do without you.

SMALL CAP INVESTORs? What would you consider the best stock to invest in TODAY?? with about 1500 bux like a brooktrout type stock
Are small (or even mid) cap fund returns limited because of market cap rules? I've recently tried to learn more about stocks and investing., and I'm trying to get a better understanding of funds in my 401k. So if a fund is limited to stocks under a certain market cap, when stocks in that fund break the cap, are they dropped? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the large gains/growth that small caps have potential for, at least as individual stocks? If they are dropped, aren't you missing out on the really large gains as some companies grow? So is a small cap fund's returns limited to the market cap of the stocks it holds? For example, I have some VSISX. If it holds the next Google, does the fund only benefit up to the point where it reaches the max market cap (about 2 billion I think), and not the remaining billions it may grow to?

Best & reliable small caps to buy in October 2008 ? I want to know the best & growing small companies for investing ...
How to diversify - move out of S&P into small caps now? For the past few years I've had 80% of my assets in an S&P index and Growth index. This is my savings which I won't be spending for a long time. Wondering what the best strategy would be to diversify into small caps, international, and value stocks. All those have had a huge run up in the last few years (I missed it) and the S&P and Growth is where a lot of money is being invested now. Can you suggest a long-term strategy to reduce exposure in S&P and Growth and buy into the asset classes that are currently outperforming? Sell a % every few months and keep it in cash until there is another correction? Or simply dump and diversify now for the long haul? Or ride the S&P and Growth for a while longer to see if it has it's day?
Do it yourself investing. Where do you get your advice? I've read quite a few books on investing and most seem to present a solid case and strategy for investing. Some suggest small caps, others say you can't go wrong with large cap value stocks, etc. The rationales all make sense to me. The only problem is that I feel that these books are out of date the moment they go to print. I don't know how these books can attempt to back-test a strategy against today's rising oil prices. Does anyone know of a investing resource (book/magazine/website/service) that provides timely advice. I'd follow the advice in my Fidelity monthly newsletters, but they are all about Fidelity offerings. I'd like something a bit more vendor nuetral. While I'd consider consulting a financial advisor, every book I've read suggests that even financial advisers are too much "in-bed" with whatever strategies and funds they are professing. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
