Business & Finance - 17 December 2006

many people bring in things from home and decorate their desks with all sorts. I'm sitting at someone's desk (I'm a temp) and I can see 4 pictures of cats, a 'special mum' ornament, photos of the entire family and other fluffy toys. I just can't bring myself to feel at home at work at all. My desk would be so boring and plain as anything. Does anyone else feel like this, or do you in fact like a little taste of home at work?

To one of my earlier questions, some people said I could trade in FX and make money from the movement of exchange rates (I was invited to visit 4xmoneytrain, 4xgenie, etc websites).

The presentations made the concepts clear. I'm based in India. I don't know how to go about these exactly! Who shd I contact? where'll I find a FX broker / FX Broker software using which I can place my deals?

If there's someone who's using this method to earn money, I'd appreciate some personal advise! I guess 2 trillion USD turnover a day has enough for all of us individuals to thrive on!

Thanks, in advance!

I did a lot of thinking and decide to be a manager, seriously, how to be a manager?
I think
If work in the company, then
(1) I will perhaps work hard for years to be a manager
(2) If I get a MBA, then it saves time but still needs some time
If I start my own business, then
I will be a manager immediately

So how can I be a manager? I know it sounds a lil childlike but come on, everybody has a dream.

Thanks

My roommate has informed me that she is moving out because her boyfriend "doesn't like me anymore." I cannot afford my apartment on my own and moreover, I can't really afford to move either. MOREOVER, I'm feeling a little rejected and a little vicious, so I want to make her stay or pay. (I have no problem living in a hostile environment if it means I WIN!) So, 2 questions: Can she legally move out if I do not sign a new lease with my name only on it? And if she illegally moves out, can I take her to small claims court? (We have $6000 remaining on our lease).

I just graduated 1 year. Applied to UBS but failed after doing the numerical test.
I still would like to work in an investment bank, in equities or wealth management. I'm planning to take an MBA course to better my chances. I have a 2nd "A" Bachelors' degree in Arts (BA). May I ask:

Which MBA should I apply for if I want to get in the i-banking industry?

thanks a lot.

I've just had a letter from my old council saying that a retrospective council tax adjustment means they owe me around £60. This was for a house I lived in 8 years ago. They want me to write back and say that I currently live at that address in order to claim my rebate.

Why should I still have to live there? If I "overpaid", then surely I'm entitled to the rebate whether I live there or not?

At the moment I'm thinking of carefully wording the letter, such as "I can confirm that the address shown is correct" which doesn't actually say I live there!

Any help appreciated, thanks!

Seeking guidance from the wiser, older employees on yahoo groups...PLEASE GIVE ME WISDOM!!!

...so a fellow college buddy and me just graduated from college and both landed the same jobs on the same project.
On one hand, I feel this "friend" of mine always works against me. I don't feel he respects me. He always says the opposite of my analysis, and never stands by one argument.

More importantly, I feel he's always trying to "takeover"
--"stealing" my contacts
--wanting to always keep him "in the loop"
--always asking other people about my powerpoint but never the one who made them -- me.

Is this kind of character common in the workplace? Someone who is "leaching" off your work and never giving back?

...or, in the spirit of CHristmas, am I supposed to forgive, forget, and work with him?

I took my physical agility test the last week of October, passed it, went to be fingerprinted, and was told it takes 2 weeks for background check to get done at FBI. Was also told they have to hire 100 people, interviewing would be done in December and those hired would be called in January. I know the month isn't over and there's still a possibility. It just seems like it shouldn't take this long.

Okay! Here it goes (again). I live in NC, I have close to absolutely no money whatsoever. I want to start a business selling things over the internet (customized electric guitars and CDs). I don't know how the whole small business loan thing works and I'm afraid of loans because I like to be smart about money and not get trapped in some sort of scheme. I mean...basically anything anyone can tell me about small businesses would be great, because I'm completely unlearnt in this area---but I'm very passionate about this.
