Free Stock Market Tips

Irony Of Poe asked:


What has traditionally happened to the stock price of the company being bought out? Does it rise? Or does the buying company purchase all the stock for very little and current stockholders lose their butts like with Bear-Stearns?

I’m asking this because I want to know what will happen to National City’s (NCC) stock if it gets bought out.

Matt Humberto asked:


I’m interested in “leveraged indexes” (ex., SSO) that imitate the general movement of the stock market with increased power. However, if the market plummets, I’m twice as in trouble as I’d normally be.

I know that predicting the market is a difficult if not impossible task, but are there any early “warning signs” to warn me of an upcoming recession?

Historically, how many times have corrections (10% drop in the market) turned into a true, full-blown recession (20% drop or more in the market)?

Thanks for your help!

I want to start trading/investing in the stock market but I do not really understand the terms such as indexes, averages, etc. I also do not know how the whole stock market works. May someone summarize or provide me with a detailed website?

Thanks.
