Business & Finance - 20 December 2006

Is the government intervening in the stock markets? Are they propping up the US Dollar? Was the price of gas manipulate before the elections? Are they behind a lot of the mysterious gold selling that happens in NY everytime that gold tries to go up? The Treasury and the Fed are now loaded with former Goldman Sachs employees and Goldman has just had unbelievable record profits. They also went on record changing some futures trading that caused gas prices to plummet just when Paulson went to Treasury. Am I the only one that sees this?

Ok,
First I have to mention that I am a complete newbie in forex and shares and that the money are not real, but from a demo account, thus simulation.
Here is the deal:
http://lmdesign.net/clp3.jpg
(save the picture to see it with better quality...its not a virus, calm down :)
So, when I started my balance was 50, 000...now you see it's
50, 300...the same is my "Equity".
When I started my Equity was slowing down to 49,600...I guess that means that the money I was spending to buy shares and forex are about 400$...
So, at the end I need to mention that I bought 20 lots from
Rolls Royce, because I saw that it was big difference from the "low" and "high" there- 437(low)-445(high).
I have also bought 10 lots of EUR/JPY and others pairs with EUR and GBP.
As you see I am completely new at the stuff...but am I right that I have spend only 400$ and end up with 700$ for an hour?
Thanks alot!!!

I'm missing three subjects to finish my career, after sooo many years (I'll be 27 in august). To pay for it, I started working as a teacher three years ago, and I had been able to manage both things and schedules. Suddenly, they tell me that those 3 subjects will be given in the morning -I'm working at that time-. There's a good chance that next semester these subjects will not be given, and besides, my thesis topic will no longer be useful. They are really mad at me in my job for quitting in the middle of the year. What would you do? Would you postpone your life plans and stay in the job or would you quit? I'll become a Telecommunications Engineer.

It's an exciting and potentially lucrative concept. Average people can lend money to others or borrow money for any of their needs. All credit types can create a loan listing and the interest rates are reasonable, around 8% - 29% (unlike payday and title loans which charge up to 300%). Prosper is licensed to lend in all 50 states and it was founded by Chris Larsen, the founder of e-Loan.com and it's backed by the founder of eBay. My group is The Sturzstrom Funding Group at http://www.ProsperFiveStar.com and I am accepting memberships from all who are interested. There are no fees to list a loan, and only a small one-time service fee of 1% if you accept a loan. My question is what does anyone here know about Prosper and do you think it's a good concept?

The amount of money you made cannot be the reason. For me it was housekeeping. Looking for an adventure, I decided to move to a resort town. I took a job as a room attendent. I met a lot of people who I still keep in touch with, lost a ton of weight from the type of work I was doing and had lots of fun exploring and going out. Basiclly it was a working holiday.

Most favouralble thing about this business is it can be started with low investment.

Can you tell me where is the best place to look for in terms of newspapers, websites and recruitment agencies, for general office administration work for the weekends?

Are rates for weekend work more or the same as if it was weekday work?
