With CD rates low, what are my other options for investing 5K? I invested a few thousand a year ago in a 6-month CD around 5%. 6 months later I reinvested it at a lower 4%. It's obvious the rates are constantly dropping and the average is around 3%. My CD is going to mature at the end of the month and I want to add a few more thousand to it and drop it into a safe investment again. I'd just like a better return. Should I just bite the low return for another 6 months and hope the rates improve or try something new. Any suggestions?

Getting a job in a firm that deals with stocks, options, investing, etc? I'm interested in getting a job that involves investing and doing any type of research of companies, etc. I don't have any experience it this field simply because I was always stuck doing stuff I hate while learning about the whole stock market as a hobby on the side. Now I quit the job that I deeply dreaded and I want to go into that field because I know for a fact that I will like it. It's probably the only field that ever interested me. Now my question is, how do I get started? Every company requires experience and a license but in order to get a license you have to be sponsored (I don't understand that either) by a company. It seems like a catch 22. Does anybody here know how I can get my foot in the door at any type of investment firm? I don't want to go back to something I truly hate :( I'm young and still in school, but I know for a fact that this is the field I will be going into.

Income from investing in Stock Options? Are there any investors who invest in stock options that have created an extra income for themselves? There is a difference between INVESTING and Working for a Living (paycheck). I have been investing in LONG CALL optrions recently. Opened an account with a deep discount brokerage-only $5.00 per trade.. I found one stock-an ETF INDEX option that seems to be working in my favor. Since most foreig market INDEXES seem to move in an upward trend i feel comfortalbe with it. It is the iShares MSCDI CANADA ETF. I have bought and sold it 2 times at a profit each time. It returned more than 50% each trade in 2 months. The discounted broker commission helps me keep more profit to. But again, is it possible to create a second income by trading LONG CALL stock options? Thanks

A Question on Options investing I need some detail?? zman492, if you read this answer it?last answer was good? zman i just need a little more detail Let’s say the strike price is at $2.50, the stock is selling for $11/share, the bid price for the option is at $8.35, and the asking price for the option is at $8.50. Then $2.50 is the amount that I can buy the stock for at anytime that the stock is above the current stock price of 11.00?? When I say, “can I buy this stock at $2.50 at anytime while the stock is above $11,” I’m asking if I need to spend other money that I’ve got in my account to buy the shares, or do the stocks get bought when I exercised the option, by the money I’ve already paid for the option, which would be $8.50 if I paid asking price for it., and only bough 1. If this is the case and I can pay $2.50 for 100 shares of a stock, or $250, that is paid for by the option money, $850, what happens to the other $600, which is the amount not used to buy the shares, because the shares only cost $250. does the 600 go into my account or do I only get it when I exercise the option. If this were a true scenario would it be a bad idea to exercise the option if the option went up any?? I’d still be getting all those shares at $2.50, Right? This may be a stupid question, but I was wondering how I would exercise an option on a scottrade account. I don’t have an options account through them yet, but I do have a regular account and an ira. Would there be something that I push to tell it to exercise the option or would I have to just sell them.

Besides 401k and Roth IRA and traditional IRA, what are my options for tax deferred investing? I have my 401k maxed out and both the Roth IRA and traditional IRA have low contribution limits of about $4000 this year. Are there any tax deferred ways of saving for retirement with much larger amounts (say $20,000 to $40,000 a year)? Obviously I can just save in a normal investment account. My understanding is that only dividends (not growth) are taxed each year. A tax deferred account just defers tax on the dividends (correct me if I'm wrong). If that's the case (and if I have no alternatives) then I'll just try to choose a fund that doesn't give dividends.
