    Please help trying to buy a 1970 "mobile home"

    At this stage I believe I could get a personal loan for $50K at 11%+ paying $860+ per month, but that's more than I'd feel comfortable committing to. The asking price it $65K and I can put down $15K. How could I refinance on something I can't get a mortgage for to begin with? Removing what's...

    Please help trying to buy a 1970 "mobile home"

    I'm sorry if this isn't really a proper place to post these questions but people here seem to know about financing and I'm getting desperate to try to find a reasonable solution to the situation if there is one. I'm trying to get a mortgage to buy a home that involves an older 1970 mobile home...

    What actually controls stock prices?

    At first that seemed to answer the question but thinking on about it instead it brings more things into question, like how? Is there one super trading computer that is programmed to raise or lower the price of all stocks according to supply and demand? And whatever does it, is it done...

    What actually controls stock prices?

    How about if you use an automated system? I've heard of that...is that faster?

    What actually controls stock prices?

    Do the companies control the prices at which their stocks sell, raising the price as more stocks are sold? Or does the price automatically rise as more are bought, and then go down when they are sold? Or doesn't the number of sales have anything to do with it? Or...??? Also, can you always buy...

    Very basic newbie questions

    I does seem like if it really worked, everybody would be doing it. And then even if it had worked, it probably wouldn't work the same way any more if everybody did start to do it.

    Very basic newbie questions

    Until yesterday I didn't know that day trading was making trades that are restricted to just one day, and had never heard the term swing trading before. It was through reading the beginning of a pdf of "Day Trading for Dummies" that I learned about both those things. To so restrict yourself as...

    Very basic newbie questions

    To me it seems he's come here to give people terrible suggestions, but if he actually learned and benefited from what he suggests in this thread I'm interested in exactly how he went about it and why it was of any value. So far from my position it doesn't seem to have anything at all to do with...

    Very basic newbie questions

    So what did you buy at Walmart and sell for a profit? How long did you continue doing that before you felt ready to try doing it with some other sort of market, or didn't you ever move on to something else and you're just here to discourage everyone else from ever trying? It must be one or the...

    Thank you for the good advice! I'll keep that method in mind in my struggles to figure things out. Also will see if the library has the "Trading for Dummies" available.

    Very basic newbie questions

    Just from the ignorant position of my "understanding" of it I'd have thought November would have been a good time to buy, right before Christmas the following month. It looks like that would have worked to some extent, though it didn't go up as high in December as I'd thought it might. But...

    Very basic newbie questions

    I came to these forums trying to find the good free stuff and avoid trying to sift through hundreds of thousands of bulshts. I looked at stockcharts and will go back again and see if I can learn from there. I've known about Bigcharts for years and can bring up different symbols and types of...

    Very basic newbie questions

    You suggested it to me, so I'm wondering how it's working out for you. And since that's the ONLY thing you suggested to me it must be the best thing you feel you could suggest, or you'd suggest something better. Right? Or are you suggesting something you think is a bad idea? If that's the case...

    Very basic newbie questions

    The video I mentioned shows the basics of entering paths for VSTi's in the DAW Reaper, and how to draw the notes in, and other basic things about how to use that particular DAW. It doesn't show you how to compose a song. That you have to figure for yourself. The things I've done have a lot more...
