Where can I invest my money in business or…..?
For the last year or so I’ve (thankfully) been saving much more than I can spend. Last year I started to invest in the stock market and things are going ok, and I’m happy with that considering the volatility of the stock markets these days. I’m investing there more for the long term/retirement.
However, I’d really like to invest in a small company or two, maybe even start up company, and be a kind of silent partner with little responsibility. This would be more to balance up the risk of my stocks. Probably looking to start with small investments of perhaps a few thousand pounds.
Any ideas where I can find information about going about this?

Short term stock trading?
Recently, with the volatility of the Market, I have begun to buy stocks and when they go up by few hundreds $, I sell, knowing that it will drop again, and repeat the process. The financials (C, JPM, WFC) are so predictable. I feel nervous about what I am doing. Do I just need to pay the taxes on the profits as if they were CD interests, short term Cap gains, and regular income? I do not want to be surprised when doing my taxes. But I’m having so much fun!!

Any safe investments with a little more pop besides money market funds?
I may soon be the recipient of an inhertance worth a good sum of money. I’ve figured I could live solely off the interest made from a money market account. However, what I will probably spend and probably make in interest is cutting it a little too close.
Are there any other safe investments that, with a little increased risk, can give me a little more volatility and a better returns than what money market accounts typically make (5%)?
Let’s consider a time-frame of 10 yrs., so stocks are definitely out of the question.
Thanks for your help!
Trade short term mutual funds instead of stocks and options?
Given the current market volatility-would’nt it be more profitable to trade short term, no fee, mtual funds as opposed to stocks and options for steady income? Mutual funds that allow you to go in and out every 30 days without penalties. There are lots of them and the markets keep going down.
I took out $8,000 in hardship withdrawals from my 401k in '08 and underestimated my tax burden.?
Can I claim a realized loss on my taxes since the sale price when I liquidated the stocks was less than the purchase price I paid when I bought the stocks to market volatility? And how would I go about claiming this loss?
Is there a site with detailed stock info (i.e; mean, variance, std deviation, etc)?
I am a prospective young investor whom is become quick interested in the stock market (more so due to the current state the market is in). The main interest that I am currently looking into is the trends of stocks in a mathematical sense. I am finishing up a M.S. in Applied Mathematics and a solid concentration in probability.
So, is there a FREE site that tracks detailed info such as the mean and std deviation (NOT Volatility) of individual stocks easily?
What is the best online stock trading company?

What is the best company that has the least fees and is very simple to use? Any suggestions are appreciated.
How can a portfolio of weakly correlated stocks increase returns?
Yesterday I read in market news somewhere that ‘commodities (gold, silver, oil, etc.) historically have a low correlation to the stock market, so by investing in them you can smooth out and improve your returns’.
Statistically I can understand how the sum of two low (or negatively) correlated stocks can intrinsically reduce risk and volatility, but I can’t see how low-correlation is related to increased returns at all. It seems rather the opposite, that by reducing your volatility you would be *decreasing* your total returns. Am I wrong?
