Im kind of on my own with this one, and ive found it to be a little overwelming. Ive been prequalified and I know which house I want (its in my range and Ive figured out what I can afford, and not what the bank tells me I can afford) Ive been renting an apartment, and i cant stand wasting the money every month, when I could own a place. If anyone has any tips to offer they would be greatly appreciated!!

thanks in advance

I'm trying to find out how the bond and equity markets are linked. Any diagrams, graphs and text would be much appreciated; the longer the better!

If I understand correctly, the two used to be positively correlated until around 2000, when a negative correlation started to set in, with the two correlated most negatively in 2003; however there are signs that they may be starting to become positively correlated now. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, preferably along with your opinion and why the two are positively/negatively correlated and why this has changed over time.

Any other links between the two markets would be greatly appreciated.

I'm only 16, so I would be grateful if you could use (relatively) simple terms and not stuff taught in economics at degree level!

Thanks for your help.

I worked for 3 months this year as an independent contractor, making $5,400.00 (no fed. taxes withheld or paid). Yesterday I started a new job as an employee ($30,000/yr.). How much should I have deducted per pay check to make up for that time I did not have anything taken out? Either number of allowances, flat dollar amount or %...I don't have any dependents, nor do I own any property.

I'm 10. Don't have any idea for making money by August 23. I need $200.00. I already have like $110.00. Every week I get $10.00. By September 9 I would have enough but I want to get $200.00 in a shorter time. The reason why I want $200.00 is so I could get an electric bass. I already have the orchestra type bass but I want electric. The one I want is at this link.

I just cleaned up the kitchen so then I think I should get more than 10 from it. My dad wants to get me an electric bass for christmas but thats in 5 months. I've sold cookies before but I got in trouble from it. I'll try to get paid from mowing my yard. Need more ideas please!

where did you being to do that? a few people told me to try and do it on my own since market is down and people feel better negotiate with sale by owners because we will bend since we dont have to pay anyone else commission. but i want to do it right for both me and the buyer so i want to follow all rules and give it a chance before i go to a realtor...any suggestions or steps to follow, sites to check out, anything?

( This is in reference to wholesale vendors) Everyone else builds credit with their vendors and are billed monthly or every two weeks. I don't like being billed or owing money to anyone other than the IRS. Why is it better to receive and pay rather then pay and receive?

I live in Boston walking distance to Goldman Sachs. My background is scientific (biotech). I thrive at data analysis and long tedious projects. Member of patent bar. I recently met someone who said they would take someone like me since I'm very bright, in my prime, and willing to work very long hours. I have been to the website. There is an option to apply online, but I was wondering if it is to my advantage to first show in person. I'm not sure if being chiselled out of stone and 6'5" would make them remember me when they saw my online application (I would likely have to do thereafter). Any thoughts on what would work best to my advantage?

After six weeks on the market, excellent open house traffic, complements galore, but no offers, I am starting to think that the only way to find a serious home buyer is through a buyer's agent. How can I get buyers' agents to show their clients my house when there are so many listed houses right now?

I have already been in contact with an agent whose buyers dragged her to our open house when they were supposed to be looking at a house across the street. Even though we were one of the clients top picks and we have offered to pay commission to her (nothing specific yet), she seems to be discouraging her clients from purchasing our property. Will this be common? Also, how can I let realtors know that they are welcome. I have just added the information to my website and to my flyers. Should I advertise this in the paper as well?

Listing is not an option, as our realtor (as buyers) looked at the numbers and said there just isn't enough room to pay the full 6% commission.

I need some advice on what I should do next. I live in a place that I'm renting through a "rental company" not the owner of the property. This is who I pay rent to and address any issues that I may have. Now... here's the big issue. I pay a decent amount to be at this place and it has a central AC unit... this I noticed was not working at the beginning of the summer. The landlord had sent someone out to do an estimate which came to be $4000. He has yet to replace it. He keeps giving me excuses as to why it hasn't been fixed... such as all the companies are too busy this time of year to make it out and he wants another estimate and can't get anyone to the property. He did send over a window unit so we weren't completely without air but that caused the HOA where we're currently at to threaten to fine us $25 a day until it is removed....

If people want to sell their shares but no-one wants to buy them then what do those shareholders do?

Also if no-one wants to trade at all in a company, then what happens next and what about the money the company made from the initial share offering at the start?
