When you talk of "invest" - there is an expected return. What can I get from sponsoring your child, other than a warm fuzzy feeling in my heart that I have supported someone. \n\nThis is the 3rd time or so that I have seen your question. Maybe this is not the right forum to seek sponsorship. I would suggest you create an auction listing in eBay asking for this sponsorship. The more heart-tugging your auction listing, the better.\n\nGood luck

Oh, yeah!  Wasn't always this way.  Used to be, money came in, money went out.  When it rained, we pulled out the credit cards.  When we learned what a stupid way this was to manage OUR money, we paid-off the credit cards, set-up an emergency fund and haven't had any rainy days since.  OK, it has rained, but the emergency fund has been our umbrella and we haven't gotten soaked.\n\nI don't care how little you make, an emergency fund is a MUST for everyone who is breathing (even before paying off the credit cards).

Yes, you are right on the money.\n\nNegative means cash when out to purchase investments, positive means investments were liquidated, cash came back in.

This is a stupid question that doesn't make sense!  What does this mean: "At the end of four years, I will receive $10,000 for 10 years."\n\nWhat the heck do you mean?  I think you are asking questions just to get points.\n\nps- This is a hypothetical answer

Yup...Nothing too surprising in for me because I've been quite busy following the money trail for the last 25 years...\nEnlightening read if you want to learn more about how the trail weaves its way through our pocketbooks and tramples the rights of the middle and lower class.

deymond: You're right.  I didn't really bother researching the fund.  I read it as they were returning money to investors on April 28 and shutting down the fund, not closing the fund to new money.\n\nIf they're just closing the fund to new funds, that's usually a good thing.  It means they've got more money than they know what to do with and that's usually a sign of a fund that's doing well.

Expected? \n\nDo you really want me to look into my crystal ball here, or what is your question, exactly.? Expected by whom? Economists? Brokerages? Traders? Money Magazine? Motley Fool? \n\nAny ten economists will give you 11 different answers. Don't listen to those guys, they're parasites.\n\nSo what is it you want, an opinion? What good will that do you?\n\nUntil the British raised their interest rates this morning by 2.75%, things looked pretty bright for the Pound Sterling. Today it tanked. \n\nIf you would say "why" you want this info it would help. Are you going to Britain and wondering whether to buy Pounds now?\n\nAsk a specific question and you'll get a specific answer. Otherwise, garbage in equals garbage out.

Stock market has been going well.  It's in a four month uptrend and is due for a small correction/rest.  Then, after that, it should continue up some more.\n\nSo far so good.  In fact, around the world, many markets are setting all time highs right now!

I tend to agree with the majority.  Mostly.\n\nThink of it this way.  If your credit card is charging you 19% interest, then paying off the card is a guaranteed investment with a 19% return.  You can't get returns like that in the stock market, and especially not with a guarantee!\n\nOn the other hand, if this is all the money you have, it might be bad to have no assets left for emergencies.  Perhaps investing a small amount of your proceeds would be good for you.  If some of your credit cards are on 8% interest, for example, you might be able to do better by investing.  And ultimately, you'll need to have an investment plan for the future anyway.  But these aren't the only issues.\n\nThe bigger issue, regardless of what approach you take with the windfall, is how your budget is working.  If you've been seeing your credit card balances rising for years, you need to address that issue first.  Otherwise, paying off the cards will only be a temporary fix.  Check into some reputable organizations that can provide advice for your budget woes.\n\nBest of luck to you.
