I lost some money in the market today and am pissed because I got greedy and didn't sell when I was up. How do you deal with that kind of frustration?

I'm really nervous about working my first job. I'm not good with people at all, and it's a cashier position. I'm also nervous because a lot of people I know from school work there as well, and like I said before, I'm really not good with talking to people, unless they're actually my friends. I'm afraid I'll mess up a lot. The whole experience is making me pretty anxious, but I feel like it's something I need to try out. Any tips or advice?

Does anyone know the best way to find the best mortgage? I want to refinance to a 15-yr mortgage, how do I find the best rate? I tried lending tree, and they had a very limited selection and I was spammed to death.

Thanks!

There are young adults who are giving up life to just live in their own apartments. I say apartments cause they can not afford any houses.Giving up life like no living to feel free always on the go and always needing to be somewhere like another job. Is this what America is protecting from the illegal immigrants? Could the govenment not cut their budgets more and allow some of the monies to go to higher wages for legal citizens?

The management of Kitchen Shop is thinking of buying a new drill press to aid in adapting parts for different machines. The press is expected to save Kitchen Shop $8,000 per year in costs. However, Kitchen Shop has an old punch machine that isn't worth anythng on the market and that will probably last indefinitely. The new press will last 12 years and will cost $41,595. (Ignore inccome tax effects.)

1. Compute the payback period of the new machine

my supervisor scheduled me from 2-6 on Friday, we are completely staffed, I work in a bank and since everyone will be there, there will be no place for me to work a window. I think it would be such a waste of time to come in and just work just 4 hours, we get 6 sick days a year and so far I have just used 1 day. It is not like I am going to be putting in any over time or anything like that also.

I'm interested in investing in the stock market (I've got my eye on some in the technology sector in the NASDAQ -yes I know it's risky). I have some basic questions.

1. Do you have to go through a broker to buy and sell shares?
2. If so what are the advantages/disadvantages of going to online vs physical brokers?
3. How much should you typically invest in any particular company or how many shares should you buy?
4. Do you invest a set amount of money or do you buy a set number of shares at a given rate?
5. Can you pick and choose who to buy shares off (as different sellers may be asking different prices at any given time) or is this the role of the broker?
6. What is the situation regarding taxes? What taxes do you pay on stocks (if any) and how is it calculated if they are?
7. When investing in foreign markets which use different currencies, what role does currency conversion play?
8. Terminology wise (briefly) what's the difference between a stock, share and a option?

We went to look for an appartment yesterday in the chicago downtown. we liked the place and we offered the agent that we will put the deposite on the spot. He asked for one month of rent plus deposite of the same amount. we paid with certified check and put the application in with application fees.

Now next day he is saying that he has a offer of $1700 . so he wont give us the place. !! we lost application fees $100 .

what can we do ??

After losing my job F/T at the hotel, within a day, I was called by the temp agency I was registered with. It was suppose to be a "temp to hire" position. I was into the job for almost the 2nd full month. Their business had slowed down, and decided to end my assignment on Monday. This was the only temp job I've ever had. The agency said they were going to keep looking to place me, but I haven't heard anything yet.
What I need to know.....Can I collect unemployment in the meantime...going back on the hotel, since they let me go??? I cannot go without any pay for very long, next week I will only have a one day paycheck!!
I live in NY. I don't know how the laws differ from state to state.

One of our co-workers quit 3 months ago, and her job duties were distributed among 3 of us, so we wouldn't have to hire another person. Our boss told us that he will RE ASSESS the situation after 3 months and mubled something about raises. So all 3 of us thought we were getting raises after 3 months by doing a good job and performing additional duties. One of us brought up to his attention that 3 months are almost up and if he is goign to be including raises in the next payroll.
Well the boss FLIPPED OUT when he heard this, he was being very defensive and the comment made him angry. He proceeded to MEMOing us by saying "there has been a big confusion and mistake" "There is no raises coming right now or in the near future." "so please if there was confusion I am sorry but we can't do any raises".

He WENT BACK on his word!!!!! what can we do to bring this issue to his attention? What should we say?

What ELSE could he mean by "reassessment" .

The process of re-determining
