Pre-market trading hours on NASDAQ start at 8:00 AM and end at 9:30 AM. After-hours trading hours go from 4:00 PM to 6:30 PM. ECNs may have longer trading hours starting as early as 4:15 AM and ending at 7:00 PM. Day trades that occur during pre-market or after-hours hours still count toward the pattern day trading rules. The real stock market is different than stock market games because games may have delayed pricing that allows players to make trades based on future stock prices, which is not possible in the actual market.
Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons are not considered true Christians based on their beliefs about Jesus and God. Jehovah's Witnesses believe Jesus was created and not God himself, contradicting the Bible which says Jesus is God manifested in the flesh. Mormons believe humans can become gods like Jesus, but the Bible says there is only one God and nothing created can become God. Key verses used by JWs to argue Jesus is not God are taken out of context and contradicted by other verses, showing Jesus as the creator and sustainer of all things, proving his divinity.
The document discusses futures contracts for stocks and indexes and how they affect the market. It explains that futures prices are set based on buy and sell orders placed after the market closes to indicate whether the market will open higher or lower the next day. Specifically, it notes that an S&P futures price that is -4.40 and Nasdaq futures at -7.00 indicates that those indexes are expected to open down by those amounts based on after-hours trading activity.
The document discusses futures contracts for stocks and indexes like the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq. It explains that even when the stock market is closed, futures contracts can be traded, and the price of these futures provides an indication of whether the market will open higher or lower the next day based on the number of buy and sell orders placed. Specifically, it notes that an S&P 500 futures price that is 4.40 points lower and a Nasdaq futures price 7 points lower than fair value suggests the indexes will open down based on after-hours selling reflected in those futures prices.
Your Questions About Is It Easy To Make Money In The Stock Marketstevewinston68
You put money in a bank for safekeeping and to make using your money easier through checking accounts. However, banks are now allowed to take customer funds and invest them in the stock market, which some see as "gambling". While it is possible to double an investment in a month by investing in the right stock, accurately predicting stock price movements is very difficult. Day trading options can also provide large profits but involves significant risk, as options values can change rapidly. Making a living through short-term trading requires skills that usually take years of experience to develop proficiently.

Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds and form between partially charged atoms or molecules. To count pi bonds on ring structures, consider the number of double and triple bonds present. The order in which bonds break during enzyme denaturation is: 1) hydrophobic interactions, 2) hydrogen bonds, 3) ionic bonds, with disulfide bonds requiring a reducing agent to break due to their covalent nature.

Hydrogen bonds are weaker intermolecular forces between partially charged atoms or molecules, while covalent bonds are stronger intramolecular bonds involving shared valence electrons between atoms. To count pi bonds in ring structures, consider single, double, and triple bonds according to valence bond theory. The order in which bonds break during enzyme denaturation is hydrophobic interactions, then hydrogen bonds, then ionic bonds, with disulfide bonds not breaking via heat denaturation. Hydrogen bonds between water molecules are weaker than the covalent bonds within molecules and can be broken by heating without breaking covalent bonds. Common biological bonds include covalent, hydrogen, and van der Waals bonds as well as peptide bonds.

1. Your Questions About Mutual Funds Vs Etf
Donald asks…
What is Exchange-Traded Funds (ETF)? What is differenc between
ETF & Mutual Fund. ETF Vs Mutual Fund?
Steve Winston answers:
ETFs are sold like stock through an exchange. There are currently two types--index funds and
closed end funds. They are both types of mutual funds.
Mutual funds meaning open end mutual funds specifically are sold directly by mutual fund
companies to investors. No load mutual funds are purchased directly from the companies. They
can also be purchased through stock brokers but stock brokers may charge to a fee to do so.
Front end load mutual funds are sold only through stock brokers. A commission is charged to
purchase them called a front end load. Those are referred to a A shares. There are also B
shares and C shares where the load is charged in a somewhat hidden manner.
Index funds are unmanaged mutual funds and generally have a low management fee of less
than 0.6% of assets. Some index funds are sold directly through fund companies just like open
end mutual funds. Others as I mentioned are sold like stocks. Index funds hold stocks that
mirror the holdings of stock market indexes such as the S&P 500 for example. They have during
the past 10 or so years become very popular with investors. There are now literally hundreds of
1/6
2. them available. But then there are thousands of mutual funds.
Managed mutual funds generally have a higher management fee, sometimes much higher.
Open end mutual funds are always sold at net asset value after the market closes. ETFs are
sold at market prices which can very from the net asset value sometimes by a great deal. In
March of this year many were selling at 20% discounts and more to net assets
Lizzie asks…
Mutual funds vs ETF for ROTH IRA?
I am 31 and going to open a Roth IRA...
What makes the most sense? Opening an account with Fidelity and investing in mutual funds
like the Contrafund or investing in exchange traded funds like SPY or QQQQ? I will be maxing
out my contribution each year. Please tell me the reasoning behind your answers
Steve Winston answers:
2/6
3. Given the volatility in the markets I would go the ETF routes. My reasoning is the ETF merely
replicates an index while the Mutual Fund performance might be dependent on active
management (ie portfolio manager picking stocks).
But per your initial question = Contra has been a great fund and it wouldn't be a bad choice at
this point. I would also diversify into small caps and int'l/emerging market equity.
Richard asks…
Difference between ETF vs mutual funds?
what is the difference between etf's and mutual funds?
Steve Winston answers:
Good question.
In many cases they are practically the same.
ETFs trade just like a stock and I believe they are easier to trade because most are listed on the
Amex so you can just pull up the ticker like a stock. Also, there's some ETFs that just track
3/6
4. certain commodities so you can play something like gold without getting involved in the futures
market. There's no mutual fund for that.
But then there's GDX which is the ETF for the top gold miners which would be identical to a
mutual fund.
Another difference is sometimes mutual funds are managed (load or no-load) whereas ETFs are
not (no fees ever).
ETFs are newer and offer more flexibilities into the market at greater ease but in many cases
the two are the same. I hope that explains it pretty clear.
Linda asks…
Mutual Fund vs ETF's?
I currently hold mutual funds in RBF 266 and RBF 263 (canadian dividend & US equity)
I am curious on how to tell what the management fees are associated with these funds?
and, What are some similar ETFs that would give me the same type of investment sectorwise
with a lower overhead?
I've been looking at Claymore's CLQ and CLU ETFs
4/6
5. Steve Winston answers:
The MER of RBF266 is 1.7%, RBF263 is 2.04%.
The MER of CLU is 0.69%. Can't find anyhing called CLQ.
In order to choose, ask yourself whether you think RBC's active management can beat the
market by 1%. If so, stay with RBC. If not, switch to ETFs.
Mark asks…
Index Mutual Fund vs ETF?
which is better?
I know ETF have a less Expense ratio.
However the price of the Mutual fund is really the market? right?
Where the ETF could vary from the real market value? right?
5/6
6. Steve Winston answers:
If you select carefully, the MF and ETF have about the same charges and tracking accuracy.
I find ETFs much more convenient to buy and sell because you can execute an order at the
click of the mouse you see the price you will get, while with MF you have forms to fill. However
MF send you better account statements and performance data. I guess there is no clear winner
and each will have its adherents.
