Recently I received a letter from my bank offering me a free airline ticket if I made 5 purchases in 3 months using my debit card as a credit card by signing the receipt instead of using a PIN. Whats the catch? What does the bank get out of it? Whats the difference?

Does anyone know anything about a 10B5-1 plan? I am a financial advisor, but I can not find a lot of information on this type of plan, and my compliance department tells me “about” the plan and how to open it. Does anyone have experience with a 10B5-1 plan for insider trading?

I am not looking to buy cheap, just better priced, and near where I work in Miami Beach, Florida. A friend suggested getting a list of bank foreclosures from an agent, comparing them with other listed homes in the same area, and said that at least I could be sure the title to each would be "clear".
I have enough capital and credit to buy a couple of units, one to rent out.
What other advantages is this market likely to offer me?

My credit card offers a rate of 1.99% annual interest on cash advances plus a flat rate service charge of 1% of the cash advance amount in order to borrow money from the credit card company.

(E.g. $5000 loan is subject to $50 charge + 1.99% interest)

Therefore I was thinking of taking out a cash advance from the card and throwing it into a high-yield savings account (4-5% annually) for a period of one year.

I know people say you shouldn't invest with other people's money, but this is a secure investment that is guaranteed to grow - not stocks. I also would not borrow more from the credit card than I am able to pay back at any time.

It seems I would in all owe the credit card people roughly 2.99% of the principal in interest, whereas I would be earning interest at a 4-5% clip.

The earnings certainly wouldn't be vast, but considering the simplicity of the transaction I'm starting to wonder why not?

So - why not?

P.S. - no additional fees involved in opening the savings accoun

For the past year I've worked as a private duty nurse and want to report my income - but my boss and the other nurses say it isn't necessary. Most of the other nurses have been working for these people for several years and apparently have never claimed any income....they are concerned if I claim my income, the IRS will somehow find out who they are and they will be penalized or possibly face jail time....I don't want to get anyone in trouble with the government, but I believe I should do what is right. What say you?

I'm starting to feel down. The last paying job I held was in 10/2006. Usually I don't search for jobs and if I do I'm picky about it. Some of the interview calls I get from of those calls I only go to 50% to the interview. I do great in the interview and I know for sure interviewer is impressed with me but then I always get rejection letter. Then I question myself what is it i'm not doing right. I want to work and I know if they hire me that i be very good employee. Plz help. Oh i asked one of the company for feedback they never provided me that

I have an excellent credit score with less income than my friend. He has and excellent credit score equal to mine. For me to borrow $50,000.00 I am offered credit at 7 – 8 % where as my friend is being offered the same amount at 5 -6 %. This is an amount I can easily afford, but it seems that I must pay the lender more because I earn less.

Don’t credit scores seem to be a way our federal government regulates lending to assure wealthier people get very low interest rates when borrowing money and others must pay a very high rate of interest resulting having less of their income in the end for personal use.

If interest were the same for all income levels and only the amount borrowed be based on ability to pay it back, wouldn't that make it less likely for someone to default on a payment (less interest = lower monthly payment)?

Pro’s and Cons of each:

Beautiful home is in a historic district, within minutes of my new job and is ready to move in. Crime is high- within blocks of the house. My family is very concerned about my choice which may impact how often they visit me (I really like my family). With no work required and just maintain it in good condition I can sell it and move when I finish my college studies in 2 years and if I no decide to change my job again. I would own this by myself with a mortgage (in addition to maintaining my other home).

House in ill repair; it needs to be gutted and completely remodeled (which my family and I have done before in out last home with very good results). Beautiful homes with manicured lawns surrounding it that are worth more than I will ever afford, but this house with its large half acre lot is low because someone must buy it out of pocket. It is about a half hour (during heavy traffic) to my new job. I would need either to gut this house and make many repairs or (the township) wants it demolished and a new home built there but will allow me to place a temporary nice mobile home there to live-in in the mean time- my family feels this is the better thing to do and will go in with me on the cost and ownership and try to sell it within 2 years.


I moved here for a new job and I am in college taking a full semester study load. I will be living in the house alone, but I have family that lives in the area.

I am an accountant with some knowlege of taxes. I've prepared lots of tax returns but for my firm when I worked for a medium sized public accounting firm. Now that I am in private, I would like to start my own tax practice starting in 2008. How much can I expect to charge for a basic return? What other fees can I charge? Most importantly, how many returns are reasonably able to be completed working part-time (evenings, weekends?)

I am a young investor ( 29 ) and currently I have my 401K plan heavily weighted towards equity. It's about 80% equity ( 40 international and 40 domestic ) and 20% in multi-sector bond fund. Recently there have been indicators that the market will go through a "correction" and Merril Lynch inssued a whole house sell order and advised it's clients to reduce there equity holdings. If there is a correction I will certainly have time to ride it out being only 29, but if I move to safer waters for the time being and then move back towards equity once the market has stabilized, I stand to come out ahead. That is my thinking anyway. Am I mistaken?

My husband is working at a new job (started 2 days ago). well the foreman running the job puts down 8 hours and then leaves after 2. Once he leaves, the crew has to leave. This guy has been doing this about 2 years. My husband has worked for this company before, many years ago. Should he say something to the boss about this? He's nervous as the new guy and they may not believe him. He's also afraid that if boss finds out and he never said anything, he could be fired for that. Or they find out and say well you really only worked x amount of hours so that is what we will pay you. I can't even begin to think of an answer and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been asked by a neighbour to find some information on Scottish & Southern Energy coal values. I've tried the obvious variations of searches using the engines on the Internet, but the only specific result I can get is from a website in Illinois! Does anyone have a clue where I can get this information? I can't even find it on S&S site. Thanks!
