Before I go into some of the more popular Q&A's for the week, I wanted to say 2 things:1. THANK YOU to all the TickerHound members who sent in feedback on the new design, we really appreciate it! And please, keep the feedback coming... the more you send, the better the site will get. As always, feedback can be sent to: feedback@tickerhound.com
2. To make it easier on you to submit feedback on the new design, we put together a little survey that we hope you'll answer.
In fact, for everyone who completes the ENTIRE survey, we'll give away 100 BONUS POINTS.
So click here to take the survey - it shouldn't take more than 60 seconds.
Make sure you leave your email address in the last section if you want your 100 bonus points... and remember, every little bit helps so even if you don't fill out the entire thing, at least do something.
The more feedback we get, the better we can make the site for you!
Most Popular Q&A's
Here are some of this week's most popular Questions and Answers!

I also felt this was a great question and extremely timely given this week's events. anetsite asked, "What is going to happen to the price of MasterCard now that Visa has went public?" - click here to see what other TickerHound's had to say!

TickerHound member, mario, asked a great question about the recent situation with interest rates and the Fed. Click here to read the answers.
And as a side note, just because the market is a bit volatile right now doesn't mean you should stop paying attention to it. Now is the time when you should use TickerHound to its full capacity.
Think about it this way...
If you're in war, you can't sharpen your battle plan while you're out on the battle field. You have to equip yourself with the right weapons, strategy and knowledge when you're back at your "home base". When the market is crazy, like it is now, that's the equivalent of you being back at your "home base."
You can take a breather, stay away from the crazy trades and equip yourself with the right mental weapons and knowledge in order to make a KILLING when the market rebounds.
Don't forget, this is a FREE tool for you to benefit from.
I hope you take full advantage of it!

This Week's TickerHound Challenge
For this week's challenge, I decided to get two of our questions from another AMAZING Investor Education site - investopedia.com. They also encourage their members to send in questions, but they have people on staff who answer a VERY SMALL fraction of them.
And that's the main reason why we created TickerHound - so we could provide an infinite amount of answers for an infinite amount of questions!
And I'd even be willing to bet that OUR community can answer these questions just as well, IF NOT BETTER THAN, the "experts" over at Investopedia.com. So give it your best shot - you're competing against the "pro's" here!
- If everyone is selling in a bear market, does your broker have to buy your shares from you? - click here to submit your answer now.
- Should I buy options that are in the money or out of the money? - click here to answer this question.
- What are the pro's and con's of investing in options vs. stocks? - click here to answer this question now.
