stock exchange nightmare ?

Those who invested in airline stocks experienced a nightmare as did those who invested in Ford and World Com and Enron.  Those who purchased tech stocks at the top of the bubble in 1999 also experienced a nightmare.

Alpha Enery and Gold (AHEG) merged with Century Industries back in the 90's sometime, and then was reversed 1 for 10.\nCETY trades (for lack of a better word) in the Pinks - last sale .0001.\nSo take the share amount on your cert - divide it by 10 and multiply by .0001 - that is what it is worth.\n\nI looks like there may have been a stock div. in there at some point so you may as well have your brokers reorg dept. or the transfer agent track it down for certain, but it doesn't look good.

You might want to try the Yahoo! Finance Message Boards Help. See the source link below.\n\nIf that does not resolve your issue contact Yahoo! directly to get a resolution.

looks like it came out of bankrupcy. Most likely your shares are nearly worthless. On yahoo they are now with a .PK\n\nhttp://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ATAHQ.PK

This is hard to answer because you haven't provided enough information.\n\nWhere was the alert provided? (a web site?  an alert site?  a specific piece of software etc.)?\n\nWhat about the stock split was bogus?\n\nIf you are having an issue with Yahoo Finance, this is not where to get support.

I have been trading with ETrade and Waterhouse for years and years and have had no problems.\n\nWith Etrade, you can request a SecureID, which produces a random 6 digit code that changes every minute. To log into Etrade you need to type in the secret code + your password. That is more secure.

I wasn't familiar with the site, I can see from cached versions that it was forex. I would file a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission and your state Attorney General and the New York State Attorney General immediately. \n\nYou might want to contact a lawyer and file a police report as well.

Hope and pray. Pay attention to what the market and what the stock is doing, but anything you do, it is still a gamble and you risk losing.

That is a good question that I immagine everyone who owns stocks is now asking. I do not know the answer. The market had quite a run up and this might just be a technical correction. \n\nBut I have you been watching the dollar? It is falling like a meteorite. If I were a foreign investor I would be having second thoughts about owning U S stocks. Heck. I am a U S investor and I am having second thoughts. I have been moving money into foreign markets for almost 2 years. Maybe I have not been moving fast enough. \n\nThe Dow is still above the 50 day moving average so it is not yet time to push the panic button. If it does drop below the moving average, still at may not be time to panic but it may be time to think about it.

Can you say "SPAM???"\n\nDON'T OPEN *ANYTHING* that you DON'T KNOW WHO or WHERE it CAME FROM!!! Does "STOCKS" ring a bell when you look at it?

I would not even bother with something like this.\nBut if you really want, goto yahoo finance and use their java based stock screener.

I don't there are any exchange traded funs for Sensex. But I beleive ICICI is working on launcing one soon, similar to Spice which was launched with little success! You might as well trade in F&O.

Nope.  That is the risk you take with the market and using brokerage firms to manage your hard earned money.  All of the paperwork and even your quarterly statement indicated that these investments were no guaranteed, insured and could lose value.  It is a hard pill to swallow, but you are not alone.  The great thing is that you get to pay these crooks to lose your money!  Sorry,.

There's sooooo much poor information here.\n\nWhen you invest in most stocks the Stock Exchange manages things so you are guaranteed to find a buyer if you're selling and guaranteed to find a seller if you're buying.  The large banks are granted favourable trading terms in return for being in the market and quoting a price to take those 200 MSFT shares off your hands.  They can drop the price they're prepared to pay when more people are selling than buying but they commit to being in the market and quoting a price most of the time.\n\nPink Sheets and Over The Counter are basically the same thing (the name Pink Sheets comes from the fact that closing prices were printed and distributed at the end of the trading day on pink paper).  It is a seperate market for stocks not quoted on the main market.  Basically, when you want to buy or sell a stock there is no guarantee there will be anyone prepared to trade with you.  The more popular stocks normally trade reasonably well but there are thousands of stocks on the OTC market that trade no volume for weeks at a time.  Most of the shareholders will be held privately and if no one is prepared to sell you're not going to be able to buy.  If you are able to find a seller you run the risk of paying a large spread (the difference between the buy and sell price).  On the main market the buy or sell price for MSFT will be the same.  On the OTC market the buy price for a stock might be $10 higher than the sell price.\n\nThe biggest danger is that something happens to the stock while you're holding it and you find yourself locked in.  If I buy MSFT I can sell the stock seconds after bad news is announced by going to my PC and logging onto my brokerage account.  If I hold OTC stock I can only sell my stock if there's someone out there prepared to buy.\n\nOTC stocks are not neceessarily up and coming, as with penny stocks choose very carefully.  Stocks quote on the OTC market for a number of reasons, and there are definately some bargains out there.  But it is much much more risky than the main market.
