In my previous job I got stock options, even though the company was still private. When I left the job, I paid the company ~$12k to buy these "unborn" stocks (excerzise the options?).

If I know this:
1. On "3-Jan-00", 1 USD was worth 7.9640 NOK.
2. On "3-Jan-00", 1 USD was worth 9.4015 MXN.
Does that mean that I can calculate how much 1 NOK was worth in MXN on that date? Or are they fundamentally "detached" from USD, meaning those values are only valid for specifically USD-NOK and USD-MXN, bu... |

Some employers offer both 403b and 457b as retirement plans. I looked at them and really can't tell the difference. So how should one choose between the two, or perhaps both? Thanks! |

> Does that mean that I can calculate how much 1 NOK was worth in MXN on that date?
Yes, at least approximately. It's simply the ratio of the two. On that day you can use 9.4015 MXN to buy 1 dollar and use that dollar to buy 7.9640 NOK. So you would have paid 9.4015 MXN for 7.9640 NOK. or 0.8471 NOK for 1 MXN.

Some employers offer both 403b and 457b as retirement plans. I looked at them, and it seems they are very similar, except that 457b does not have early withdrawal penalty. It seems 457b is better than 403b. So why would anyone choose 403b over 457b? Did I miss anything? Thanks! |

A beginner question, I am puzzled about futures on the S&P500.

Well they aren't turned over they are sold. The money from the sales is then used to buy either additional shares of companies in the fund, or used to buy shares of companies that are new to the fund.
