Could Someone Walk Me Through My ShareBuilder Account?


Question:
I need to know what my portfolio means and what to do next. Like, what does Stock and ETF Market Value mean? Cash available for investing? I have stocks. I just want to know if they're official or are they waiting for me to use the money I have available to invest?
DO YOU HAVE A BROKER??
CALL YOUR BROKER TO WALK YOU THROUGH
OR CALL THE HELP DESK & THEY TOO CAN HELP YOU
Stock & ETF market value means the dollar value of each of your holdings, added together, in stocks or exchange traded funds as of the closing price yesterday. Cash available for investing. If you did not send them cash for investing and didn't tell them to invest, that is it. If you didn't, maybe one of more of your holdings issued a cash dividend. Did you sign up for automatic dividend reinvestment?
a) Stock and ETF market value.
This is the value of the stocks(shares) and exchange traded funds in your portfolio, if you sold them on that day.

b) Cash available for investing.
This is the free cash now held in your account. You can either leave it there to grow more, or you can contact your portfolio manager and tell him what to do with it. Pay it out to you, or buy more shares, unless you have given him authority to do take all the investment decisions.

Incidentally, are you aware that having portfolio managers is a very expensive way of getting mediocre results and you are also depriving yourself of a lot of fun?
