Q&A: What’s a good formula to determine how much return I would need per year from a Mutual Fund?
Question by Mike: What’s a good formula to determine how much return I would need per year from a Mutual Fund?
I’m currently 31 yrs old. I want to retire at 60 yrs old and be able to have one million dollars saved up in a long term Mutual Fund by then. I live in New York City. Considering inflation, what’s a good formula to use to determine how much rate of return is needed from a Mutual Fund so that I would be able to save that much by the time I’m 60? I will be putting in $ 10,000 and additional $ 500/monthly.

I think you need to talk to someone who knows stocks. Mutual funds would not be my way to go. A 401k, or a 403b through work along with IRA’s . A Roth Ira is a sure bet. But don’t take it from me. Go to a reputable firm like Fidelity and discuss it with them. There is no charge for a consultation.

Online Broker TradeKing Invites Students to Generate New Thinking at the Intersection of IT and Finance During First-Ever $100K API Campus Challenge
Online Broker TradeKing Invites Students to Generate New Thinking at the Intersection of IT and Finance During First-Ever $ 100K API Campus Challenge
Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) August 03, 2011
Online broker-dealer TradeKing (http://www.tradeking.com) today announced the TradeKing $ 100K API Campus Challenge. This challenge is intended to drive a unique collaboration between academia and an industry leader like TradeKing to foster creativity and drive awareness about innovative entrepreneurial possibilities around Application Programming Interfaces (APIs). Born out of a groundbreaking pilot program conducted in Spring 2011 at the Sellinger School of Business and Management at Loyola University Maryland, the Fall 2011 semester-long TradeKing Challenge will provide undergraduate business/finance and technology students across the U.S. with real-life experience developing investment-focused “Apps” and “User Interfaces” using TradeKing’s API. The Challenge will be open to as many as 20 universities; already, a number of schools from across the U.S., ranging from large public universities to smaller independent colleges, have registered to compete. The deadline for schools to register for the Challenge is August 15.
The TradeKing Challenge uses the innovative concept of classroom crowdsourcing to encourage students to develop new web and mobile applications using the TradeKing API, potentially combining the TradeKing API with other APIs from websites such as Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo, and Google. Submissions will be judged by a panel including senior TradeKing executives; Professor Paul Tallon, associate professor of information systems and operations management at the Sellinger School; Jason Heltzer, Principal, OCA Ventures; Brian O’Malley, Partner, Battery Ventures; and Greg MacSweeney, Editorial Director of Wall Street & Technology magazine.
“We want to encourage creative and transformational thinking, and have designed the TradeKing $ 100K API Campus Challenge to foster these core cultural values while benefiting students, faculty and our clients alike,” said Don Montanaro, CEO and Chairman of TradeKing. “Students will get the opportunity to work alongside seasoned technology professionals to experience a real-world software development lifecycle and test their skills. Faculty can leverage the Challenge to enhance course content by demonstrating the value of stimulating new creative ideas in a fast-changing and highly competitive online financial services environment.
“And for our clients, we expect the outcome of the Challenge will be a wide variety of apps and optional customized trading experiences along with TradeKing’s commitment to provide the industry’s best service and support. We believe this is the first-ever use of crowdsourcing in partnership with academic institutions by a brokerage firm in the U.S., and we’re proud to take a leadership role in bringing the Challenge to life,” continued Montanaro.
“Feedback from my students who participated in the pilot Challenge at Loyola was overwhelmingly positive, and I thoroughly enjoyed guiding them through the process,” said Professor Tallon. “Students were challenged to draw upon a diverse body of knowledge spanning both IT and finance in creating a next-generation App. They had to think in new ways and collaborate under a strict deadline, knowing their classmates were equally driven to move their ideas from concept to execution. I encourage all universities to take advantage of this valuable opportunity for leveraging a new model for classroom learning.”
“Working with TradeKing’s API is particularly rewarding for out-of-the box thinkers, creative developers and technologists alike for a number of reasons,” commented Dan Raju, TradeKing’s CIO. “In addition to the deep functionality of our API, TradeKing is offering a high level of commitment to service, technical resources and simplified developer onboarding. We’re particularly focused on creating an outstanding developer experience in accessing and building great systems and Applications on our secure API.”
TradeKing will award up to $ 100,000 in total prize money in the Challenge, including prize money for winners from each of the 20 participating schools, divisional winners and a national $ 20,000 winner. The professors and schools where the winning students are enrolled will also receive cash prizes. The TradeKing $ 100K API Campus Challenge will kick off on September 12, 2011.

Housing prices are crashing. Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, and Washington Mutual, have been acquired for pennies on the dollars. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are under Federal Government conservatorship. US Commercial banks have tightened lending standards, and a credit crunch threatens global financial markets. All of this stokes fears of an economic slowdown that many believe could result in a deep recession for the US and the rest of the world. The US Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Board developed a plan for a 0 billion bailout of Wall Street, and this bailout will be discussed by a panel of experts on the CSULB campus. The panel will discuss what caused the crisis, what the bailout means, what the implications of the bailout are, and how Main Street, not just Wall Street, is affected.
