Question: what is an investment dealer?

Answer: Investment dealers provide investment banking services; that is, they act as intermediaries between those companies or governments which would like to raise money and those with money or capital to invest. Investment dealers usually help firms buy initial stock or bond offerings from private companies or from Federal, State, and local governments and, in turn, sell them to investors for a potential profit. This service can be risky, especially when it involves a new company selling stock to the public for the first time. Investment dealers must try to determine the value of the company on the basis of a number of factors, including projected growth and sales, and decide what price investors are willing to pay for the new stock. Investment dealers also advise businesses on merger and acquisition strategies and may arrange for the transfer of ownership.

Question: What do you think of buying gold as an investment? And I don't mean buying bars in a bank, they're kind of expensive there. Does it make sense to buy a gold bar on ebay. And keep it. What's you opinion on future of US dollar and stock market anyway? Then just sell it to a dealer when you need cash? Well, I don't intend to keep it for years. Just for several months and then sell it and buy a home. What's the point of a money market fund? Saving accounts pay just as much.

Answer: Gold really glitters when inflation runs rampant. Bank accounts are relatively safe, but your dollars may lose value due to inflation faster than they grow with interest. Investing in stocks for the short term is a gamble. It the stock market crashes the day before you need your money to buy the house, you are screwed. Gold prices go up and down, but unlike stocks, (and possibly the dollar) gold will never be worthless. In the long run I thing gold prices will rise substantially, since our government seems bent on inflationary policies. However,over a short period of time the value of the gold you buy may be more or less than you paid. Grandpa
