Let these 18 tips help you get to where you need to be. by The Root 10 Oct 2008 at 6:45pm Cable TV has been airing nonsense about unqualified borrowers who got loans as a form of economic affirmative action.

It's time to be a grown-up. by Karen Aho 6 Oct 2008 at 11:01pm More and more, your credit score is being used to determine whether you deserve a job or an apartment.

MSN Money Investing Ideas by Charley Blaine and Elizabeth Strott 13 Oct 2008 at 1:40am An awful week ends with a wild day: The Dow falls 128 points -- after falling nearly 700 at the open. Stocks may open sharply higher Monday on hopes for a strong plan from the Treasury to shore up major U.S. financial companies. Industrial nations push a new plan to ease the credit crisis. by The Wall Street Journal 12 Oct 2008 at 11:01pm The discount retailer, which earlier this decade aggressively grabbed a bigger share of the toy market, prepares for the year-end holidays by slashing prices on 10 popular toys to $10. by Vad Yazvinski 12 Oct 2008 at 11:01pm After watching the ratings go from AAA to crisis in the financial sector, why pay attention anymore? by BusinessWeek 10 Oct 2008 at 1:00pm The automakers are staggering, burning through thin cash reserves even as their shares tank. But no one knows when consumers will start buying new vehicles again. by Jim Jubak 9 Oct 2008 at 11:01pm You may think you can make up for today's painful savings losses simply by working longer, but it's not going to be that easy. Start by taking these 3 vital steps now. by Vad Yazvinski 9 Oct 2008 at 11:01pm Royal Bank of Scotland and Barclays are fundamentally sound financials despite their recent losses. Taking these positions is risky, but I could see a return of 300%. by Andrew Horowitz 9 Oct 2008 at 11:01pm There's a lot of blame to go around in this mess, but share some of it with those in the financial media who didn't sound the warning bell in time to help us. by Ron Prichard 9 Oct 2008 at 11:01pm The horror story that is the market was taking its toll on our players even before Thursday?s bloodbath. But one of them has found a way to positive territory. by Charley Blaine and Elizabeth Strott 9 Oct 2008 at 8:30pm The Dow and S&P 500 fall more than 7% as the Crash of 2008 crushes stocks in a wild last hour of trading; the Nasdaq drops 5.5%. General Motors falls nearly a third on fears it won't survive. Citigroup abandons its Wachovia bid. 8 Oct 2008 at 11:01pm An auction being held on Friday will help determine just how deep banks' losses will be. For now, I'm staying cautious. by Charley Blaine and Elizabeth Strott 8 Oct 2008 at 10:35pm The selling comes despite interest-rate cuts by central banks worldwide. IBM's third-quarter earnings jump 20%. Wal-Mart's sales gain is smaller than expected as retailers report disappointing September sales. Crude oil drops below $89. by Bill Fleckenstein 8 Oct 2008 at 6:45pm We haven't seen the moment of capitulation that ends a market bust, so the fear and pain will get worse before they get better. The good news: We're close. by Jon Markman 8 Oct 2008 at 12:45pm In some situations, fear is the appropriate response -- and this is one of them. Why? The bailout plan is riddled with loopholes, and new crises are brewing for US cities, states and oil refiners. by Charley Blaine and Elizabeth Strott 8 Oct 2008 at 2:05am The Dow tumbles more than 5% in part because of Fed boss Bernanke's gloomy economic outlook. The Nasdaq loses more than 100 points, and the S&P 500 drops below 1,000 for the first time since 2003. Asian and European shares drop sharply. by Charley Blaine and Elizabeth Strott 7 Oct 2008 at 1:45am Heavy selling around the world pushes the Dow down to levels last seen in October 2004. But the big rebound that cut the day's losses may produce more gains Tuesday. Investors aren't wild about Bank of America's plan to raise $10 billion in new capital. by Tim Middleton 6 Oct 2008 at 11:01pm With a couple of humble funds and some savvy tax moves, you could stem your losses and maybe even beat today's miserable market. 6 Oct 2008 at 11:01pm Don't give in to fear. I'm taking a wait-and-see approach on my losing positions and betting on the dollar for now. by Vad Yazvinski 6 Oct 2008 at 11:01pm With the market in turmoil and the feds mucking about, even the smart money hates risk. That means many are selling off their best stocks to cut their risk. 6 Oct 2008 at 4:08pm Between the slow burn of the credit crisis and the yet-unknown impact of the bailout burn, even the most attractive stocks seem risky today. But I've found a few. by Jim Jubak 6 Oct 2008 at 2:30pm This downturn could be longer and deeper than I anticipated. With the $700 billion rescue plan a danger in itself, consider rebalancing your portfolio for harder times. by Catherine Holahan, MSN Money 6 Oct 2008 at 12:02pm The government's $700 billion rescue plan won't help the US avoid a recession completely, economists say -- but it should ease some of America's biggest pain points. Here's a look at the three groups most likely to benefit. by Andrew Rosenbaum 6 Oct 2008 at 6:00am Skittish investors around the world avoid stocks as recession looms. Wachovia reportedly will be split between Citigroup and Wells Fargo. Bank of America settles Countrywide claims for $8.6 billion. by Charley Blaine and Elizabeth Strott 6 Oct 2008 at 1:00am The weak open will come after the worst week for U.S. stocks since 9/11.

But times like these are when the best investors set themselves up for major gains. by Forbes.com 3 Oct 2008 at 4:40pm Remember all that talk earlier this decade about the ownership society? Well, it is related to housing, but not in the ways the speakers intended. by Jon Markman 3 Oct 2008 at 12:35pm At best, Congress has approved a quick fix that's bound to fail in the long run. Meanwhile, some experts offer solutions -- including $500 billion in tax rebates -- better than the bill just passed. by Jim Jubak 3 Oct 2008 at 12:35pm Recent trends, including a stronger dollar and questions over subsidies, have been working against solar, but the clouds may be ready to part on these energy stocks. by The Motley Fool 3 Oct 2008 at 10:03am Some stocks with the highest rating by the MSN CAPS community have been among those recently hit the hardest. But the qualities members saw before the stocks plunged could help them recover. by Jim Van Meerten 2 Oct 2008 at 11:01pm The folks in charge in Washington seem determined to toss spending and tax cuts into the financial rescue bill just to "Get 'er done!" That's no way to solve a problem. by Charley Blaine and Elizabeth Strott 2 Oct 2008 at 7:40pm Stocks crumble as dismal reports on factory orders and jobless claims overwhelm any good feelings from the Senate's passage of a new version of the $700 billion rescue plan. Investor unhappiness with GE's new stock sale slams shares. by Richard Conniff, MSN Money 2 Oct 2008 at 9:25am McCain and Obama want to pursue electric cars, 'clean coal' technology and at least some new offshore drilling.

A separate report predicts 3,800 dealership closures nationwide. by Charley Blaine and Elizabeth Strott 1 Oct 2008 at 10:50pm The financial-rescue plan passes the Senate easily, but Wall Street remains wary of a House vote Friday.

That's no way to solve a problem. by Jim Van Meerten 28 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm Getting back to the basics of underwriting home loans would go a long way toward restoring confidence in the credit market. by Ken Kam 26 Sep 2008 at 9:44am The more I hear about Henry Paulson's plan, the less convinced I am it's worth $2,000 from every American. The predictions of financial Armageddon without it don't ring true. 24 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm Is the market near the bottom? If you're smart enough to stay invested, it doesn't matter. The market will turn unpredictable and, in an instant, if you're not invested, you'll miss it. 24 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm In a market knocked around by bad government actions, I'm looking at the preferred stocks offer a fat dividend and are less volatile than their common stocks. I by Andrew Horowitz 23 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm Bernanke and Paulson say something terrible will happen unless we hand over $700 billion, fast. But that alone sounds pretty terrible. by Jim Van Meerten 22 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm Regulators, directors and the other experts we rely on for the truth slept (or worse) while the banking crisis was building. Only short sellers called it right -- and now they're the ones being punished. 18 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm I'm closing several long positions today and shorting several exchange-traded funds hitting new 65-day lows. 18 Sep 2008 at 5:55pm My portfolio has fallen back because of market turmoil and because I took a vacation. It's time to clean things up and get back into the game. 17 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm We need to sit down and talk about the market. Am I worried about it? No, I'm worried that you might overreact and do something emotional or impulsive and hurt yourself. 17 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm I'm reducing my overall risk and building up cash for future opportunities. 17 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm While banks fight with devalued mortgage securities or sell them for pennies on the dollar, owners fight to hang on to homes. Why not let the homeowners buy their discounted mortgages? 17 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm Here's an out-of-the-way corner of the market that's been beaten up. There's risk, but I can't resist. 16 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm A big down day can be depressing, but don't let it lead you into rash moves. 16 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm Lots of stocks are down in this market, but they aren't all bargains. Use the PEG ratio to find out which of these buys are really cheap. 15 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm In this market, finding stocks moving in a predictable direction can be frustrating. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is stand pat. 14 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm With the market and economy in a slump, let's get back to basics. I'm looking at plays in food and water. 11 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm Sure, a strong greenback can make fuel cheaper and help tame inflation. But it also hurts exports and plays havoc with our stocks. 9 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm 8 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm The federal takeover set off a short-covering rally on Monday, but the move didn't repair our financial system. There's still a huge bill that we taxpayers now have to pay. 7 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm I think Wall Street is due for a bump now that the political conventions are over. I'm buying Dollar Thrifty Automotive and shorting emerging markets. 7 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm Thanks to growth's extended run and value's struggles, you can find some great value-stock bargains out there. Value's comeback could be under way already. 4 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm Many investors believe MasterCard and Visa are uniquely immune to the economic slowdown. They're wrong. 3 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm Bad news on sales, broken charts and a 10% loss are enough for me with this phone maker. I'm also once again shorting the China market. 2 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm A neophyte once asked me about day trading. The truth was he could do it but wasn't ready. Like him, I have steered into an area I may not know enough about: shorting stocks. 2 Sep 2008 at 11:01pm The stronger dollar takes a toll on IBM. It's time to cut my losses and keep a closer eye on a sagging sector. |
