buying stocks on borrowed money

When purchasing stocks you don't always have to bet everything you have on them. There are other ways to buy stocks. A few ways to borrow and invest in the stock market are like taking out a loan, using home equity, buying on margin or purchasing a leveraged exchange traded fund. Doing things such as this to buy stocks means that you dont have to risk everything you own. This year the stock market has dropped a total of 40%. While it might be a good time to buy some stocks there is always a chance that it will contuine to drop. Sometimes that 40% loss cause turn into 80%.


When people take money that they dont't actually have to buy things with it causes problems and debt. If they make money of that stock they can easily pay it back but if it drops, you are loosing more money then you orignally invested. If that happens when people have taken out loans then they have to find a way to pay back the borrwed money and could go into debt.

Disney

Walt Disney Co have been holding up this year in the stock market, and better then any of the their competors. But now Wall Street is saying the their stocks are becoming too expensive for how the economey is right now. Nathanson from wall street rates Disney shares "market-perform" with a price target of $22 -- 7% below the pr ice at the time his report was published. Disney stock rose 4.4% to $23.78 on the New York Stock Exchange Tuesday, in line with the broader market. It has traded within a 52-week range of $35.02 and $18.60.

With all the jobs being cut and people not having as much money to spend on wants they are cutting back. Sure parents would love to take there kids to Disney Land, but the truth is how many of them can afford it? And now that their stock prices are raising less people are aslo buying their stocks and there money is going down all around.

Google

Google latley has introduced a lot of new upgrades. Google made it easy to get into a PDF file. Usually to open a file it has to open in a new window and takes a very long time to load. Instead of having to open all that stuff and wait such a long time it allows you to hit the “View” link next to it. Just click this link and the PDF opens inside the browser. This makes it so you dont have to download all the files it will just open ins the same browser and you can decide if you want to save it or not.


With Google coming out with all these new upgrades people should be using it a lot more. Since everyone these days is into fast and easy accesible products

stocks dip after two day rally

Stocks dropped thursday after majior companies cut a lot of jobs. The stocks were up and down all morning, untill the finally just dropped. Will Hepburn said that the stocks are trying to stabalize and that the problem will be short term. In the two pervious sessions the stocks had gained despite the "weak economy."

Im not really sure that it will jump back up to what it once was. Since there are tons of jobs being cut people don't have money to purchase stocks. On the other had there are people who decided to buy when the ecomony is low because the stocks are cheaper and will eventually go back up.
