I'm looking at investing about 10G, split between a traditional IRA with the larger portion going to US/foreign stocks; probably about a 40/60 split. I'm self employed now, and will open a Roth IRA from my earnings at a later date.

For a long term investment strategy, I seldom hear recommendations for money markets, even though several people have told me that over the "long term" money markets have a return rate of around 12%. I realize this is a very general question, and of coarse it depends on which stocks are purchased, and how the money market fund managers are investing your money

Q: Given that my financial adviser is recommending stocks with growth potential or stocks with a good track record, do stocks historically, post a better return rate than money markets? (Historically defined as the last 10-15 years)

Thanks!

Chris

This year's Pro Football Prospectus ranks the top 20+ seasons for running backs, with the top season of all-time being O.J. Simpson's 1975 performance.

Do we need more gun control, less or none at all? Keep in mind that the population of the US consists of people who live in cities as well as out in the country (rabid animals and predators do still attack people, pets and livestock). Or, instead of more gun control should we punish criminals who use guns more severely as a deterrant. I'd like to hear both sides of the issue because it is such a controversial one.

People often want to know what denomination you are, but they don't want to hear about what you believe. What they really want to do is fit you into one of their already preconceived ideas about you, and what you believe. If someone can pigeonhole you, then they don't really have to care about your beliefs.

My latest answer, when asked, is I am in some ways a Protestant, as in those who rejected the Romish religion and it's psuedo-'Christian' religious practices, rituals, and idolatry. In today's religious group-think mentality, that would mean that I reject the Romish-inspired 'teachings' on a secret pre-tribulation rapture. I am puritan because I believe the Pope to be antichrist. I am fundamentalist because I reject the 'god' of professing christian mind who loves the sinner but hates the sin, and how this 'god' sent 'his' son to die for goats and the children of disobedience.

We would like to find another home but are worried our landlord could sue us if she somehow saves the home. I have 2 kids and 2 dogs and it will probably take longer than a month just to find a rental that allows dogs. Also do I continue paying my rent to the owner? We were not listed in the court papers. I would also like to deduct my deposit from my September rent because I do not think I will be getting it back Is this legal????
Please help

I have a 92 olds acheiva, and it has been running hot during hot days in in-town traffic w/the ac on. Than if it gets extremely hot, when I park it, it will leak anti-freeze underneath, from the middle, up near the windshield, sometimes lots of coolant (like a faucet is on), sometimes not a lot. I took it to my mechanic, and he thinks it is a leak in the heater core causing all this. Does that sound right? Just want another opinion. Thanks

This week two years ago I had just come back from a holiday in turkey and while I was away my uncle and his girlfriend (about 22 years old) Were watching our house, but my aunt (His sister) also went on holiday with us and she had a small flat so instead of watching my house they stayed about 1 night in my house and the rest of the 2 weeks at hers!

Anyways when we got home i used the bathroom and came out to go back down the stairs. (It was my mum and two brothers in the house only) As I walked to the landing I heard in my uncles EXACT voice "Do you wanna go to the cinema?" and in his girlfriends voice replied "Nah I dont really feel like it"

Now they were no where near my house at this time and my two brothers were 5 & 9 years old so it was not them.

I was not tired of anything I know exactly what I heard and I know it was their voices coming from my landing (where I was standing)

Ive heard about people hearing things when they move into new house from the past owners.

I don't know why I've developed this sudden phobia of flying. I used to fly all over the world when I was younger and never once has anything ever happened. I guess, ever since Sept. 11th I've been terrified of flying. I keep telling myself it'll be alright, people fly every day. But then I think, what's not to stop it from happening to me? Not that I'm fearing the planes slamming into a tower, it's the terrorism on the plane, no matter how high security has been enforced. What if the plane malfunctions -- what if the people that check the plane over look something before take-off?

What can I do to calm myself down? I'm flying from Phoenix to Las Vegas in 2 weeks. It's not even an hour long flight, and I've flown it before, no problem. Now I'm just terrified. What can I do to chill out? It's inevitable, I'm flying, no ifs ands or buts about it, no refunds on the plane ticket. Help calm me down. =(

Thanks.

A guy phones up his Boss, but gets the bosses' wife instead. "I'm afraid he died last week", she explains. The next day the man calls again and asks for the boss."I told you" the wife replies, "he died last week" The next day he calls again and once more asks to speak to his boss. By this time the wife is getting upset and shouts, "I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU TWICE, MY HUSBAND, YOUR BOSS, DIED LAST WEEK! WHY DO YOU KEEP CALLING?"



"Coz," he replied laughing, "I just love hearing it..."

Why are we abandoning our opportunity to hold our government to accountability??

Throughout history the people like you and I have long waited for the opportunities that WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTRY to affect change in our leaders!!!!
