Human Genome Sciences was hot today. Apparently, they just announced a new treatment for Lupus so it jumped from 3.32 to 12.51. Though I doubt this would be a good long-term investment, it would be a good quick buck. Drug companies, it would seem to me, are a bit risky as their stocks are dependent on FDA approval.
I'm giving my grandpa $2000 to invest for me until I learn more for myself. My grandpa's been involved in the market for over 50 years and has made a small fortune. I'm trying to learn as much as I can from him.

There's plenty of money to be made in day trading if you do any sort of technical analysis. I'm staying out of the market until some of the stocks I'm tracking come down or fall into some sort of chart signal.
Check out Cameco (CCJ) for a decent buy
Regarding T-bills: imo, that's probably the best thing to start in regarding bond trading since it's such a short-term investment. Given how shaky the market is now and how this recession probably won't end for a while, I wouldn't risk it

Whilst the stock market isn't rigged, I do believe it is fundamentally flawed as well (there is a lot of debate about market efficiency that has been going on for decades). Simplifying it, all traded assets/liabilities move price regularly throughout the day, ranging from insignificant to significant changes in value. The fundamentals (which is effectively what you buy into) don't change that quickly. Thus market pricing is not only subject to value of the item in question, but a whole range of superficial or irrelevant factors. This includes things like insider trading (which does occur and is no doubt prolific), market sentiment, incorrect interpretation by analysts etc.
I saw a number of people say "guaranteed" return. No such thing. Gold is only valuable because we want to place value on it at this point in time. Whilst no doubt it is a safe investment, both real (i.e. decline in value) and artificial losses (i.e. opportunity cost) can occur holding it.
I plan to invest in property - and if I was in the US I'd be doing that too. Steer clear of speculative markets, but there is no doubt some bargains are on the horizons, in particular when rates start to rise again (say 12-18mths, all being well). Property typically has relatively modest returns, but has many advantages and is relatively safe.

Markets are efficient. There would be no point in investment analysis (and other similar fields) otherwise.

markets aren't efficient because arbitrage traders exist and make shit loads. to some degree they are efficient, but they certainly aren't 100% efficient.
Well, the arbitrage doesn't exist for very long, so you can say that the inefficiency is very, very small because of that
The majority of the market is efficient though.

Okay guys, i think i really need your help !!
I'm planning to buy a laptop, mainly for programming, C/C++, Java, Visual Basic, and web programming, surfing, watching videos, do some graphics (but not much),emm what else, listening to music maybe, but it doesn't matter while i have good speakers here.
well, there is a Sony Vaio that looks quite good :
Intel Core 2Duo T5800 2Ghz/ 2M L2
Ram : 4G
HDD: 320 G/
Blu Ray
Cards drive 5 on 1 / webcam
Screen 15.4"
ATI Radeon HD3430 "until 1510 M inculding 256 dedicated" (didn't know what does this mean)
Express Card, FireWire, 4 USB 2.0 Windows Vista Home Premium
do you think this one does the job?
The price is good comparing to what's on the market here.
Thanks in advance guys

I've seen similar economists estimate silver reaching $4000 an ounce should the dollar lose its reserve currency status.

This site is fucking sweet:

I'm gonna be doin some mad data analysis on that bitch. All this precious metal panic calls for some fact-checking.
One thing that stands out immediately is that although US silver production may have peaked, world production seems to be going steady. And the US seems to import more silver than it produces.
