I am not aware of any age restriction on bankruptcy relief. As a practical matter, I would be surprised if many minors need to file since they normally lack capacity to contract, so they would not normally be allowed to have credit cards or be held responsible for medical bills.

However, in the event that a minor causes an accident or otherwise incurs an enforceable debt, that minor is not barred from filing bankruptcy simply due to their age that I am aware of.

Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.

Absolutely! Whenever you see any powerful solid stock at a 5 yr low it is a great time to invest if you can afford to invest for at least 5 years. The market on average returns about 8-12% for long term, 5-40 year investments, depending on how you invest.

The best investors know that the best time to buy is when the public is in fear of recession. The problem is, most people have less money to invest during recessions and they are afraid of losing it.

Apart from individual stocks being at an all time low, the overall market is at a 5 year low, a great time to invest.

As I stated before, if you need the money for Christmas shopping, its not a good time to buy, but if you need the money for retirement in 40 years (hopefully you're starting early). Than now is an absolutely perfect time to invest.

Another thing, If this is a retirement account that you are setting up you will want to look into whether you should open an IRA or a Roth IRA. I wont get into the difference here but I am 20 years old and have an $8000 net investment (currently worth 5.5K due to the slumping economy) in a Roth IRA. I use vanguard.com but there are many sites to open up these accounts. I plan on investing again another 4000 into the total market this year.

Don't open up an E*trade account these are meant more for people who day trade or buy stocks individually something that you wont want to do.

As far as a personal tip. At this point in your investing career you want to probably open up a mutual fund type account (minimums range from 1000-3000) and put the total amount in a Total stock market index. This is your safest stock investment. It means you are buying a part of every single company that is publicly traded (in the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones depending). To check whether you lost or made money on any given day you can check to see if the overall market went up or down. Generally this type of investment will earn you 8% a year, CDs and money markets earn about 4.5%, and savings accounts earn much less. Some hedge funds will promise you returns of 12-15% but I warn you that for everyone of those who succeeds, one fails. Its better to get a return of 8-9% buying the entire market, then risk getting 3-4% for the same risk.

Kindof rambled I give myself a B- in knowlege of Finance, but if there is one thing I am 100% certain on it is that it is a great time to invest. The S&P index may drop to 700 but in 5 years I can at least guarentee you that it will be higher then when you bought it at 980 (if you bought it today). And hopefully it will be worth quite a bit more. My money is on 1500.

Good Luck

If the company files chapter 11 the company has to pay their creditors, then the bond holders, preffered shareholders and finally the common shareholders hopefully get paid. The common stock as was the case for K-MART went from the NYSE to the pink sheets and finally became worthless. The stock you see trading now was new stock issued and trades on the NASDAQ. Basically all the loyal shareholders got screwed

From my many experiences with corp BK. - I would say they generally follow the scenario below:

In the priority of claims, stockholders have a very low one. Actually, the lowest. They would only get a share of what is left after all claims are paid. Obviously, when a Co is in bankruptcy, even Chap 11 - a reorg - they likely don't have the assets to pay all claims in full. Some creditors are asked to take less, or different - than what they fully have a right to.

Nowhere is this more obvious than with the bondholders (or priority debt holders). Since they are normally asked to do something like take a smaller percent of what the bonds promised promised to pay, they demand that to do so they be given all the stock in the Co....hence, for cancelling all (or some) of the debt, they get reimbursed by being given the Stock of the company. The stockholders really can't ask for their creditors to take less without they themselves losing what they have first...certainly the stockholders can't ask for others to sacrifice while they go along in the same ownwership position (only better as they don't have some liabilities to pay). A similar thing could happen with some other large, or class, of creditors, who are asked to compromise or take less.

Insider trading is taking advantage of other traders by using non-public information.

There are a lot of different kinds of insider trading. The most traditional is a company officer who knows either that his company is about to have news that will push the stock up so he buys a bunch to sell after the price rises, or who knows her company is about to have news that will push it down so she sells her stock before the price drops.

There's another kind - front running. When a company's stock is purchased, the stock price goes up ever so slightly...maybe a cent per share...and stays there for a very short period of time. What a front-runner does is looks at a company's order flow and trades ahead of it. Most front-runners are stockbrokers, because you almost have to be to make this work. Let's say I wanted to front-run your million shares of Ford. I would get your trade ticket and enter two orders: yours for a million shares, and mine for a million shares...but I'd hit send on mine just barely before hitting it on yours. In a couple of seconds, the price of Ford stock will go up a penny, and then I would sell my million shares. This happened so fast that I didn't have time to pay for the stock, but I will get to keep the $10,000 profit I just made.

It varies. Success usually depends on skill and effort.

Being a Stockbroker, I feel qualified to answer this one. A stockbroker can earn any amount of money that he/she wants to earn. Since it is a Commission-Only business, your annual income will depend upon the following:

1. How much effort you put into your work.

2. How good you are at it.

The average stockbroker with a major firm (Merrill, Smith Barney, AG Edwards etc) will earn about $100,000 per year or more. This would be for brokers with 5 or more years of service. There are brokers that earn less and some brokers earn in excess of $500,000 per year.

The stock market does in fact close on Presidents' Day. It is one of ten holidays that they close for. It is an American holiday and the stock market respects it so they close.

Go to your local finanical institution. There are over 700 banks, financial institutions, etc that particpate in one of the three (3) medallian programs that the SEC requires. Usually the service is free for those with a relationship with the bank. Remember they are financially guarentee'ing your signature!

What does it mean to "financially" guarantee a signature? Is the banker required to view any financial documents other than those relating to accounts with their own institution?

First, "investor" is a term for those who own stock in a corporation and share in the profits...stockholders...in this instance, stockholders of a corporation that does banking business. Stockholders in a corporation doing banking business are treated the same as stockholders of any other corporation. They can gain if the stock goes up in value, or alternatively, they are at risk up to the limit of their investment in the stock.

Depositors (account holders) in a bank are entirely different. Their deposits are LIABILITIES of the bank. They in essense are creditors. However, virtually all banks (there are some exceptions, and some accounts even within those banks are not included), are protected by government or private insurance. (Thats what the FDIC you see regularly is). Under this program, each account is insured by an outside party upt to a reasonably high maximum, per depositer. If the bank fails (goes bankrupt), those account holders are paid in full under that insurance program.

This is the same thing as book value per share. Net asset value is Total Assets - Total Liabilities. You take this number and divide it by the shares outstanding in the company, and you get net asset per share.

Example: AT&T

Total Assets: 1000

Total Liabilities: 500

Net asset value: 500

Shares outstanding:100

Net Asset per share: $5

No, A debenture bond owner is just like any other bond owner. A debenture bond is an uninsured bond.

The owner of a bond is just lending their money to a company for a long-term period.

A bond is an example of a long-term debt. An owner of a company would be an example of an equity such as a stockholder (common, or preferred).

all i can think of is - profit and if you're an employee you are always in on the know about changes etc. But i also need a better answer than this for my GCSE business exam! please help? You can also consider the fact that the share market is pretty easy to invest in. If you're considering making an investment, and trying to decide where to invest, shares are easier than other assets, like property, because they are easy to buy/sell and are easily divisible. If you invest in property, there are huge transaction costs and the asset can be hard to sell. Shares can be sold in a matter of seconds on the internet, and you can just sell half of them if you're in need of fast cash. It is also possible, at a time to participate in the fuctioning of the company, to vote and select and also remove the Directors.

I need to know if the 151 shares of Cyprus Amax Minerals Stock I have has any value?

Thank You.

The main disadvantage of buying penny stocks is that the value of the stocks fluctuate enormously on a day to day basis. Penny stocks may also be very hard to sell once you own them. To benefit from penny stocks, one must be very knowledgeable and experienced with buying and selling stocks, so penny stocks are not for first time buyers.

As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, the market capitalization of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) is significantly smaller compared to the US stock market.

The market capitalization of the US stock market, represented by indices like the S&P 500 or the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index, is measured in trillions of dollars. At the time, the US stock market had a market capitalization of several tens of trillions of dollars, making it one of the largest and most developed stock markets in the world.

On the other hand, the market capitalization of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) was in the hundreds of billions of dollars. While the Indonesian stock market has seen growth over the years, it is relatively smaller in comparison to major global stock markets like the US.

Please note that market capitalization values can fluctuate over time due to changes in stock prices and the overall market conditions. It is advisable to check the latest data from reliable sources or financial institutions for the most up-to-date information on market capitalization figures for both the US and Indonesian stock markets.
