I can only invest so much at a time, and each of my investments have made profits, but not enough to beat the 15 dollar commission.

Should I just wait until I have a large amount before investing?

this guy who is not my boss came at me saying "you should not do anything else but just sit there answer the phone and look pretty". in a condescending tone, not playful at all. i have a sense of humor and if he was just playing with me would know. but when he said that, i was so offended by it that i started bawling. answering phone is part of my job description but that's not the main thing that i do. i do accounts payable and i went to school for it. i took his statement as 'you are nothing more than just a pretty face. you are dumb and stupid.' was i over reacting? is that sexual harrassment? discrimination? stereotyping? if i do demand that he shoud be terminated, what reason? help please. i would feel very uncomfortable seeing him in the workplace. it would be very hard because i will keep thinking he'll do this again. he has yelled at another co-worker before, so this wasn't the first time, he's made it a habit.

If you pay your phonebill (or any other bill) before it is due, can the phone company make more money from your payment or will they make money regardless of when you pay the bill?

My husband used to wait till the due date to pay bills saying it gives your creditor more money too soon. Does it really make any difference?

I had my son in August and had heard about getting extra on your returns for the first year of having a child. I was wondering if this is true how much it usually is and what it is called.

I want to register the trade mark for my brand name and intend to launch it. I want to know, if I do not trademark the name but it receives massive media coverage will that be sufficient enough for someone not to trade mark the name?

If it is known in the media exposure that it is my brand and I created it, but have not trademarked it, will I lose out if someone else tries to trade mark it?

I've just sold something on ebay for the first time and I need help. Basically the buyer has paid me via paypal but do I have to send them an invoice or receipt with the item or via email? (when I've bought things in the past the seller has slipped a printed invoice in the parcel). If so, where can I print one from ebay or will ebay automatically send them one? Or is it not necessary? I thought it was easy! Also should I leave the buyer feedback now or when they've left me feedback? Any advice would be great thanks.

on my return to work after 6 weeks maternity leave all of my customers that i had maintained for over a year had been assigned to others who had sold to them and made lots of commission as a result i raised an informal grievance to get the customers back and was told to go see a solicitor by my manager. i then raised a formal grievance quoting parts of the sex discrimination act my manager went on holiday and it was referred to higher manager who said she would investigate. she has now said she would like to resolve it informally but what really bothers me is the fact that others have benefited from my customers both whilst i was off and also when i came back and i am now at a disadvantage as the experience has not only been upsetting it has also hindered my sales and i am only working part tim,e so rely on those sales to make money please advise anybody.

The company I am currently with "let go" most of our management staff last week due to financial cuts and are starting to move down to the customer service reps. Is it better to just let them "let me go" or for me to vouluntarily resign? It's guarenteed that I will be one of the many to be let go. I'm not sure what to do. Let them tell me or for me to step up first. I already have a few jobs lined up.
