Question by : What happened to bank deposits in the banks that closed down permanetly in the stock market crash?
I need to know this for a project, but I cant use wikipedia:(

Best answer:

Answer by formerflyer
If you are talking about the crash of 1929, those depositors just plain lost their money. The money had been loaned out and the loans were not repaid, or it was invested in the market and lost value when the market crashed. If you are talking about the market downturn of the past year, those deposits were usually assumed by another bank, plus most would have been insured by the FDIC. In other words, most depositors these days would not lose money.

Head to your local library, ask the librarian for the investment section…even a small library will have a few dozen books on investing (plus there is inter-library loan). Head to the web site of the SEC – they have a ton of good tutorials.

And just so you know, you will make mistakes – everyone who invests does…the goal is to make fewer mistakes than correct guesses.

Stock Market Video: Education To Avoid The Wall Street Hype

The markets are moving higher today on the back of good economic data from China. The markets look to China mainly because they are the only country big enough to help the world out of its funk. As the markets rally today, the 3.30 level on the SPY remains key. As long as there is no close above that level, downside continues to be likely. Financial stocks are nearing major resistance areas. This can be seen on Goldman Sachs and is covered in this video. In addition, Amazon.com is falling but having almost no effect on the technology sector.

U.S. stocks  fell in light trading on Monday as investors took profits on recent gains, using middling economic data and worries about euro zone debt as a catalyst for shedding long positions.

Commodities stocks led the decliners in reaction to the rising dollar. The greenback was stronger as investors shifted away from the euro, which fell about 0.8 percent versus the dollar in late trading, on renewed concerns about euro-zone public debt. The S&P materials index .GSPM led the decline, falling 1.4 percent.

Volume was very light, suggesting traders were reluctant to build on recent gains but also unwilling to give up on September’s 9 percent rally. Combined daily volume on the NYSE, Amex, and Nasdaq was about 6.84 billion shares, below its 20-day moving average of 7.23 billion.

“We’re coming off exceptionally strong performance,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott in Philadelphia.

“You probably have a little bit of an element of profit-taking that was maybe accelerated by the disappointing data points this morning.”

The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI fell 78.41 points, or 0.72 percent, at 10,751.27. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index .SPX lost 9.21 points, or 0.80 percent, at 1,137.03. The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC dropped 26.23 points, or 1.11 percent, at 2,344.52.

Pending sales of previously owned U.S. homes indicated the housing market was stabilizing at a very low level in August, while new orders received by U.S. factories fell 0.5 percent in the same month, slightly more than forecast.

Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) was a drag on both the Dow and Nasdaq 100, dropping 1.9 percent to .91 after Goldman Sachs downgraded the software maker, citing a slow recovery in PC sales and competition from tablet computers, which do not include Windows software.

The rising U.S. dollar pressured commodity-related stocks. Industrial materials shares fell, with U.S. Steel Corp (X.N) off 2.7 percent to .42 and Alcoa (AA.N) down 2.5 percent to .92.

The irish central bank said on Monday Ireland’s economy will crawl to a virtual halt this year, whileGreece forecast the economy will contract 2.6 percent next year after a 4.0 percent slump in 2010. Portuguese officials urged unity on austerity measures in the face of opposition.

“The whole sovereign debt crisis continues to unfold in a negative manner,” said Marc Pado, U.S. market strategist at Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. in San Francisco. That is “hurting the euro, boosting the dollar and weighing on stocks.”

The U.S. Justice Department sued american express Co (AXP.N) on Monday for allegedly violating antitrust law over credit card acceptance rules. american express shares were the biggest drag on the Dow, down 6.5 percent to .05.

The S&P 500 recently finished its best quarter in a year, although the index has been struggling to break out of the 1,130-1,150 range.

The index fell back below the 61.8 Fibonacci retracement of its April to July pullback at 1,140 and moved back toward support at 1,130, a level the index struggled against, finally climbing above it in late September.

S&P 500 short-term technical indicators showed sell signals during the day. The benchmark index’s 10-day momentum closed below zero, indicating a short-term trend reversal. The trend lines of the moving average convergence-divergence (MACD) indicator crossed at oversold levels on an intraday basis but retreated at the close.

In other corporate news, Sara Lee Corp (SLE.N) shares jumped 7.2 percent to .40 after the New York Post reported that the food maker received an unsolicited offer from private equity firm KKR Co (KKR.N) and aroused the interest of Anglo-Dutch conglomerate Unilever (ULVR.L). Sara Lee and KKR declined to comment.

The third-quarter earnings season will begin this week when Alcoa reports results on Thursday. Micron Technology Inc (MU.O), PepsiCo Inc (PEP.N) and Monsanto Co (MON.N) are also set to report this week.

Question by sz z: When exercising a call option to buy the shares at the strike price, is that done in the open market?
Let’s say the current Market price is $ 50 and your strike price is $ 20. If you decide to exercise the option and buy your shares, is that done on the open market? Who would sell me their shares when the market price is $ 50? Please just answer these questions, I don’t need someone to copy and paste what’s at wikipedia or something. Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Yada Yada Yada
Your broker will handle it for you. Essentially, you just exercise your option and regardless of the current price, you pay the strike price for the shares, plus the fee to exercise your option which varies by broker.

What they do is match up your call options with someone who sold a call option and that person is the one selling their shares to you.

If the option is that much in the money ($ 30 in your example), they are fully expecting to get called out.

Most likely they’ve already got a hedge on their call options, most likely buying the $ 45 calls or just wanting to sell their stock and get a little “premium” for it by selling the call option.

Hope that helps!

Article by Shaw Financial

By ERIC DASHPublished: July 10, 2011Only a few short months ago, JPMorgan Chase traders were on such a roll that they did not have a single losing day in the first quarter.But when the bank reports its second-quarter results this week, that hot streak will have come to an end. Analysts expect JPMorgan to count an almost 20 percent drop in its sales and trading revenues, reflecting a slowdown in investor activity and the dismal performance of its fixed-income and commodities groups.Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are expected to report similar news. After helping prop up Wall Street during the financial crisis, core trading revenue is projected to drop, on average, by as much as 25 percent from the first quarter, according to Credit Suisse research.That will put further pressure on the banks’ growth prospects, which are already strained by stagnant loan growth and more stringent regulation. It is also prompting nearly every major Wall Street firm to contemplate another round of layoffs amid growing concerns that at least part of the weak results are permanent.”We are undoubtedly being impacted by lower levels of activity,” said William Tanona, a financial services analyst with UBS. “There is a lot of uncertainty out there.”Together, the five Wall Street banks are still going to take in more than billion from their core trading operations, largely from business done on behalf of clients. For example, the banks routinely help airlines hedge oil prices or bring together buyers and sellers of stock, bonds and other complex securities — often putting their own money on the line to facilitate a trade. But during the second quarter, the business was particularly hard hit.Trading volumes fell sharply as investors became unnerved by the running debt crisis in Europe, the political standoff over the debt ceiling in the United States, and lingering concerns over the anemic growth of the broader economy. Even when investors did place their bets, they were far more hesitant to take big risks — something known on Wall Street as lacking conviction. That meant the banks missed out on the lucrative fees they can generate by selling more high-octane products, like complex options and derivatives.Fixed-income traders, among the biggest moneymakers for Wall Street, faced a bruising market. In the commodities business, for example, oil, gold and other metals prices had been rising quickly during the early part of the year as investors anticipated high demand for materials to keep the global economy humming. But as cracks in the recovery kept surfacing, prices headed south — and traders raced to the sidelines. That left most Wall Street desks, which had stocked up on inventory to facilitate trades, holding losing positions.At JPMorgan, for instance, energy traders were having a gangbuster year, earning several hundred million dollars for its burgeoning commodities unit. Yet when the market turned in early May, they gave back some of those gains, according to market participants. Morgan Stanley, meanwhile, suffered tens of millions in losses on its interest rate desk when a bet on lower inflation turned against the bank’s position.Mortgage trading did not fare much better. After rallying from highly depressed values for much the last two years, mortgage-backed securities prices fell sharply during the second quarter. The reason? The government started dumping into the market its vast portfolio of mortgage bonds acquired from its rescue of the American International Group, and investors believed the outsize supply would cause values to plummet. (Only recently, when the Federal Reserve Bank of New York announced it was halting auctions of the A.I.G. mortgage bonds, did prices start to stabilize.)Although the banks have slowed the spill of red ink from troubled mortgages and other bad loans, they are struggling to increase revenue in their more traditional banking businesses, too.New financial regulations have chipped away at once-lucrative sources of income, like overdraft charges and credit card penalty fees. Starting this fall, banks are expecting to absorb a multibillion-dollar hit when they are forced to sharply lower the fees they charge each time consumers swipe their debit cards. Higher capital requirements, meanwhile, could further depress profits if some banks are forced to lighten their balance sheets or exit certain businesses altogether.

Dubai International Financial Center DIFC Stock Market Exchange

The Gate Building is the heart of the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC). This is a huge building that houses the Dubai Stock Exchange and offices for all of the major financial firms. These firms include PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Goldman Sachs, Merril Lynch, the Dubai Mercantile Exchange (DME), UBS, Deutche Bank, the DIFX (Dubai International Financial Center) and many large international investment banks. Just like the rest of Dubai, the area around the DIFC is undergoing continuous construction. As it is prime real estate the land in this area has long since sold out, along with the space in the buildings that are under construction. There is little doubt that the Dubai International Financial Center is here to stay and that it is going to be a major financial center for this region and likely the world.

Question by suthrnlyts™: Why have so many Obama advisers made millions on Wall Street?
Excerpts:

Obama administration officials now working on fixing and regulating the financial system were beneficiaries of several million dollars in pay from Wall Street and private equity companies, it has been revealed.

Gene Sperling, a senior Treasury adviser, was paid $ 887,727 by Goldman Sachs and $ 158,000 for speeches to companies that included Stanford Group, the company run by Sir Allen Stanford, who has since been charged with fraud.

Mr Sperling’s compensation from Goldman was for work on a philanthropic project. His overall pay, including for his main job at the Council on Foreign Relations, totalled $ 2.2m in the 13 months to January.

The forms, which were first obtained by Bloomberg, showed that Matthew Kabaker, another adviser in the Treasury, earned $ 5.8m at Blackstone, the private equity firm, in the two years before joining the administration to work on plans to support banks and spur lending. Much of the compensation was in stock.

Lewis Alexander, another adviser, was chief economist to Citigroup before joining the administration; he was paid $ 2.4m in the last two years.

Previous releases of disclosure forms revealed the $ 5.2m paid to Lawrence Summers, chief economic adviser to the White House, by DE Shaw, the hedge fund, in the two years before he joined the administration.

Since I’m not a Bushbot, those of you who are pointing out Bush are truly wasting your time. YOU’VE voted for change. Where is it?

Best answer:

Answer by Zero1
Most Americans seem utterly clueless about the Federal Reserve being a privately owned corporation.

What’s even funnier is that both Republicans and Democrats are essentially puppets for the owners of the Federal Reserve doing their bidding.

That’s why nothing really every changes for the better. Even when we’re promised change and better.

What I can’t figure out is why people are still voting to further bankrupt themselves by voting either Republican or Democrat. Forrest Gump was right.

We need to eliminate employment — and have people have equity shares in their community industries. Trying to protect jobs — has created all kinds of mischief — trying to prolong work — rather than eliminate it is why we have the following statistics: 25% of the worlds prisoners, 47% of the worlds military spending, poverty management systems — that make more money the more poor people they serve, 1000000 people in the national security state.

Question by metalikidd7: Internships on Wall street?
I am a third year at NYU and I’m hoping to work at a finance firm on Wall Street.

Can anyone tell me the interview process for an INTERNSHIP at Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Credit Suisse…etc. Do they ask very technical questions about the industry? What questions can i expect? Should I study the industry beforehand? Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by Jay P
Hi!
Internships should be pretty straight-forward and simple to attain. They are good to do, but not essential.
One alternative I can suggest is “Wall Street Services” which is essentially an upscale temp company. Why not get paid while you move around a company? You can specifically ask to be given a tour which might include several posts.
I don’t mean to disuade you from an internship – it’s a good thing to do. In general your relationships will be stronger than through WSServices. However WWS is the avenue I took and it was a very good one. Eventually if you want to do a program such as the trader training programs, you will be be paid a nominal salary (actually not that bad) while you train and work – though the hours can be brutal. With that route it’s simply a matter of getting through it, as a neccesary evil. If you either temp or intern, try to be specific as to your target end-goal.
Good luck. I spent years at JPMorgan/Chase and before that Marsh and McLennan. They all have their pluses and minuses, but you will learn a lot about the world and it’s fun to participate at that level, regardless. As a n00b, you will be welcome at most places – just make sure if it’s unpaid you really learn. They DO like to move you around to a few departments to give you a feel. Do you know what area specifically you want to be involved in? Ask me of any questions, if you want!

(PRWEB) October 26, 2011

Government policies that favour low taxation and draw the wealthy to park their cash in Singapore have helped the private banking sector tremendously, as has the increasing population of wealthy Asians, said Citibank Singapore country officer Michael Zink. Singapore?s stock markets have traditionally been a safe haven in an era of international economic instability, leading to a rise in company registrations from overseas, said a representative of Rikvin Singapore.

In the interview with the Wall Street Journal, Zink mentioned that the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) is fourth, just behind London, New York, and Tokyo. “[Singapore's government] understands that they have to stay out at the cutting edge of technology and regulation and everything else to stand apart,” he said.

He also felt that Singapore?s sophistication was underappreciated by many in the global financial community.

?If you think about the big North American global banks?Citi, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Bank of America, Morgan Stanley?all five of those banks have their commodity hubs here. So there’s probably a lag that people are working on,? he said.

According to a recent Channel NewsAsia report, the SGX will roll out two new initiatives to improve market transparency and trading safeguards.

SGX will now publish real-time indicative equilibrium prices (IEP) during the opening and closing routines. This acts as an indication of the eventual opening or closing prices and allows punters to better assess market conditions, and adjust their orders accordingly.

This enhances safeguards against attempts to manipulate the opening and closing prices, such as from the sudden entry or withdrawal of large orders. The changes will come into effect on 26 September 2011.

“We are pleased to be able to better meet customers’ need for increased transparency, richer functionalities, greater capacity, and improved latency with these initiatives. Improvement and innovation are necessary to enhance Singapore’s edge as a leading financial centre. We will continue to offer new market features and initiatives for the benefit of all market participants,” said Gan Seow Ann, president of SGX.

Although a stable and business-friendly country, applying to set up a corporate entity in Singapore is a relatively complicated and lengthy process, with possible rejection from the smallest error in paperwork, particularly if the applicant is unfamiliar with local business compliance practices. Company registration specialists such as Rikvin Singapore assist such parties by handling the entire registration process from beginning to end.

About Rikvin:

Rikvin offers business solutions for both local and foreign investors and entrepreneurs. The firm?s specialties include company registration services, offshore company setup, incorporation and other related corporate services. Rikvin also provides professional services on accounting, taxation, immigration and application of Singapore work visa for foreign workers to work and relocate in Singapore.
