Question by CD: Recent quotes do not show up on Yahoo Finance home page?
My recent quotes box on the right side of the Finance home page does not display any quotes that I have recently looked at using the beta charts. However, if I only view the summary page or classic charts, my recently viewed quotes will show up in the quote box on the Yahoo Finance home page. How can I fix this?

Question by Ping898: I need to find a mutual fund article posted yesterday on Yahoo finance?
There was an article/commentary I saw yesterday (6/29 in the AM) on Yahoo finance’s main page that discussed how investing in mutual funds for the long term might not be a good idea and gave some details and numbers showing how you the investor takes 100% of the risk, 100% of the capitol but only gets 20% of the profits. I can’t find this article again and need it. Any help?

Question by obiwandog: What is a good personal finance website to link all my accounts?
I am looking for a personal finance website that can link all my accounts for a single view. I read about one months ago that had a community feel to it wherein people categorized their transactions and then the system learned and could match similar transactions across the community – i.e. you tell it that Kroger is a grocery and it will categorize my Kroger spending as grocery.
I am looking for a simple site that is free and can bring some value other than just aggregating my data to one location.
Any help is good help – thanks in advance.

Question by .: How should I prepare for FBLA personal finance?
I have to compete for the Pennsylvania FBLA conference in Personal Finance in two weeks. If anyone took this test in the past couple of years, I would be greatly obliged.
Best answer:
Answer by Randall Parker, MBA
The questions will be based on currently used textbooks in your subject category. As the librarian at your school if they have textbooks that might be used at other schools.
Most of the subject matter should be similar to what you are using presently. You might try your local college bookstore and find some quick guides for basic Finance, which will help you study.

Question by marig4: How do I permanently turn off streaming quotes on finance?
Yahoo? help tells me how to turn off streaming quotes but they are always on the next time I acess the finance page. I would like to turn them off permanently
Best answer:
Answer by Yada Yada Yada
It usually remembers what I did when I change settings are you just shutting down afterwards w/o perhaps having your setting saved (like clicking the off button instead of logging off, etc)?
If it doesn’t work clicking on the streaming quotes changing it to off, then logging off, you might need to contact Y!Finance to see if it’s a new “feature” or something.
Here’s how to get to a page to report your problem directly to Yahoo!
In Yahoo!Finance, at the top right of the page, there’s a help link. Click on that to get your here
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance/
Then click on one of the links on the left like quote basics. Here’s that page:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance/quotes/quote-01.html/
Finally, at the bottom is the contact customer care button. Yes, it’s convoluted, but that’s one way to get there!
Oh, or just click here (if it works). (hard for me to test if it works since I clicked through to get there)
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/finance/general.html?
Once you get there and ask your question, they’re pretty good at getting back to you, but you may have to ask/answer back and forth a couple of times.
Hope that helps!

Question by Robert M: How do I become a personal finance manager?
What degree should I get, and what exactly would I be in charge of as a personal finance manager? Where would I get a job?
Best answer:
Answer by gmcjetpilot
A degree in finance, accounting, economics, business and Law would be nice (advanced, masters or PhD). Than go out into the real world and become very wealthy by investments. Than start your own hedge fund and people will pay you to invest their money.
Why should I take advice from some one who is poor and knows less than I do.
Most states require you to get a license but many don’t. You can be a financial adviser tomorrow with no skill, knowledge or abilities. People should do the research their self and read books and publications and take charge of their finances verses some stranger that does not give two darns about you; they just want to make fees and commission.
You can learn the 101 basics of good money managment, how to save and invest (what mom and dad should have taught you but many don’t). Than you give out advice for a fee. You can do that as a freelance or work for some bank or investment house, as a financial adviser. There are lots of them and many don’t know squat. I would sooner take advice from some of them as I would the kid making my Starbucks.
Most of the basic info is available in books and even cable TV: Suzy Orman, Jim “mad money” Cramer, MSNBC business channel, Bloomberg, The Economist & Wall Street Journal. There are lots of good books on investing and building wealth. Bottom line is earning money the old fashinon way, work for it and save it. People want to do nothing and get a check and produce nothing. That is the problem with our economy, we don’t make anything any more. Of course getting into a high paying profession through advanced education is a way to go.
Finance Manager is kind of a vauge job description and career. You are talking money for giving out advice on how to handle money, not only invest but plan for the future, college funds for kids, retirement. They usually work for some investment bank (Like the 4 that went out of business putting 1000′s of financial advisers on the street).
Most financial advisers are sales man, like car sales man. They are trying to get you to buy something so they can make fee’s and commission’s. They often will point you to things that MAKE THEM MONEY, not you.
You can get you stock boraker licence. You have to take some classes and a test. There are different levels and its not too hard, but stock broakers are a dime a dozen. Again many are looking for work this week. Many individual’s can buy stocks online. Of course the 401k plan at work is best for most. There they have managers that are suppose to know what they are doing run those accounts. It is putting trust in others however.
The BIG jobs on Wall Street go to guys and gals with MBA’s from an Ivy league school. Plus some healthy nepotism and good old boy recommendations.
******************
So my advice to any one is STUDY READ and RESEARCH, you can do a better job investing money than some stranger that really just wants his fees and commission.
******************
If you don’t have a intellectual curiosity about this stuff don’t become and finances adviser. Also the idea is help others not yourself. Do us all a favor and don’t tell others what to do with money if you don’t have a clue or the proper attitude.
