Business & Finance - 16 December 2006

I would like a figure for how many people, outside of the financial institutions that actively trade all types of financial instruments. I want to exclude everyone who invests money in mutual funds and buys and holds shares, its the number of people who actively buy and sell with the aim of making short term profits that i am interested in.

I don't know how many times I've walked into a store and within 20 seconds someone is asking me if I have any questions or need help finding anything. This bothers me because how can I have any questions when I haven't even had a minute to look around? Usually I can be polite and say something like no, I'm fine thanks, or no thank you. But after I get tired from shopping for awhile I find it annoying. I don't wanna be snippy, but why don't the employees at least let you have a minute or two to look before approaching you?
BTW.... I have worked retail in the past, so yes, I am aware of the fact that you do have to greet customers. That isn't what annoys me. It's the do you need help finding something, any questions... when I have barely walked into the store. I feel like I am being rushed in and out of the store when they do that.

My mom is a widow and has her home up for sale. There are buyers for the house but there was a mistake on how the papers were written up so the closing fell thru. Now they are trying to go thru another bank. RE lady is telling my mom that it WILL go thru and that even if it doesn't the people will pay. She let the people in my mother's house to paint and did not tell my mom till' AFTER the fact. THEN let them move in their furniture and didn't tell my mother until my mom mentioned she was taking a ride to check on the house. She said they signed a waiver but my mom hasnt' seen it yet. She is upset because she doesn't know if these people are living there and the RE lady said that she doesn't want to upset the ppl so the sale doesn't fall thru. My mom wanted to look at the house and take pictures before it was sold and is so upset. Is this right and okay? RE lady says it is common. She also said they will pay rent for the next few wks until closing goes thru. Is this okay?

Ok this is what I'm confused about. When at the grocery store or gas pump I will use my bank's ATM checking card that has the visa logo. Aside from flexibility of having merchants widely accept visa why is the set up that way? Second question is when at the pump or store it asks for credit or debit after you slide your visa checking card. Why does it do this? I mean can't the machine tell its obviuously a debit card and the funds are coming from my checking acct? Why would it ask this and what impact would it have if I chose credit rather than debit when using my card. Someone help me! Thanks!
