I have never traded stocks online but I would like to start. What site is best for trading? How do I pick stocks? Where can I find good fundamental and technical analysis? Are there any sites out there that seem to pick consistent winners?

I received the Explanation of Benefits from my insurance company recently and all it basically says is that it does not cover any part of my hospital bill and surgery and I'm about to be sent a bill from the hospital that cost close to $7,000. I am a full-time undergraduate college student, with no job, meaning no income, and my parents won't help me. Is there any way to reduce the hospital bill to something more reasonable?

Your input would help me so much, thank you!

I started working with at this company about two weeks ago, and I overheard my mngr trying to get rid of me already. I havent done anything wrong, and I actualy havent done any work yet as I am still being trained. Unfortunately, I haveent meshed well with the team yet as it has only been two weeks. People have been talking about me getting the boot and I have been overhearing my mngr talk to the director about transfering me out of the dept or letting me go. I am tempted to quit as I dont think I want to work for someone who is going to judge me on just two weeks of being in a new job.
What do you think I should do? Should I confront my boss? Should I quit or let them fire me? HELP!

When does your official "day of being a non-profit" start? When the IRS receives your application / When they are finally happy with everything and accept it as complete, or sometime before, or after that date? Can donations be accepted Before the application is accepted and/or approved and still qualify on the donors tax return as a legal donation to a non-profit? My papers are getting mailed this week, when can I legally accept a donation?

i am trying to apply for an auto loan on my own i have recently

canceled one of the three credit cards i own... i am 21 years

old does my age play apart in this decision... also i am

applying for this loan on my own...my ego wonn't allow me to

ask anyone in my family for any help (co-signing) because i

was taught that if a bank won't give a person a loan why would

i...and my next question is what is a good intrest rate i could

get for my credit score....712?

I run a lawn service out of my parents garage right now. I am making very good money and do like to claim it on my income takes as "other" or Schedule C. (its taxed @ 15%)

Recently I purchased several pieces of expensive equipment but I have not yet filed for a Tax ID # nor have I made the business an official corporation. Can I claim the purchases on my 2007 tax forms as deductions? I would like to claim full revenues and recieve a tax break from expenditures.

How would I go about this?

My daughter has worked, established credit 800+.
She has worked then gone to school, then worked to make money to return to school.

She has decided to change schools, a private school.

She informed them she'd like to make monthly payments on the tuition, if she may.

They tell her to do that she needs a cosigner. I can understand that, since it is sort-of like taking out a loan.

She then told them, in that case, she'll pay the entire tuition, up front.

They told her regardless of whether the tuition is paid in installments or in cash, she will not be accepted without a cosigner.

What? Why would they need, what reason could they possibly have to require a cosigner, when tuition is paid in full, in cash?

She says that's the way it is. No cosigner, no admittance.
This seems absurd to me & maybe even illegal.

She asks me not to challenge them on it, because if I do, they will not admit her because she has caused trouble.

Suggestions/answers?

She was told she was being fired for her attitude. No warnings or written warnings. This is all she was told. When she was denied for unemployment the employer who fired her said that she had lied and that was her reason for being fired. We live in MO - the employer doesn;t have to give any reason for letting you go. What would her chances be if she tried to appeal?

As I type, this question is being asked of Democratic Presidential Candidates. They seem to have glossed over the FACT that Corporate America pays about half of what Individuals pay, using phoney offshore tax loopholes to create higher profits, eliminating American jobs as well.

Should the "rich" pay more, or should Corporate America face up to their obligations?

I had $11,000 saved up but since I blew it all on a car, not only could I not have had $1,000 for tools, repairs, and preventative maintenace, and not only could I have not had $6,000 saved up if I would've spend $3,000 on a car,


BUT LOOK AT 14 THINGS I MISSED OUT ON!

($1,000)
1) Beer
2) All sorts of stuff off EBAY, whether it just be for fun, decoration, or even kinky or sexual.
3) Lap dances at strip clubs
4) Call girls
5) Movies
6) Music CDs
7) A nice stereo system.
8) Add-ons to the car such as neon lighting, lit up fuzz dice, seat covers, steering wheel cover, etc.
9) An expensive dinner at Red Lobster
10) Parties
11) Dating sites to meet with more girls (those sites cost around $30 to $40 a month)
12) Clothes
13) Auto Repair Manual
14) And other nice things


If you're gonna honstley tell me you think I made a good move by getting a 3-year old car with 24K miles instead, then I think you're totally wrong because look at all the fun stuff I missed on.

I began working at a Walgreens 3 months ago. I just finished the insane initiation fee of 320 bux to join the union. When i was first hired.. i was supposed to be trained in the photo dept. but now since the store was taken over by a new manager soon after i was hired...all i ever do is stay in the front and ring ppl up.. which is typically the job of the "newby" while there is an even NEWER guy working on the floor and being trained in the photo... I feel angery.. fed up, annoyed. Since i am in the union. i basically can't be fired...so How should i go about taking a step up and not letting them shove me to the front.. Im tired of it.. It might even be racial since i am the only white guy amongst almost all filips. any advice would help!
