I'm not sure what steps to take to find out where my money is. I've received no communication from my former employer or the financial institution that had my money. Is it possible that I will never see it again? Please advise.

I am working at this job and I like it but I feel that I can come up with things that would make a lot of improvements but I'm afraid to speak up bacause I've only been here 9 months. I feel I could come up with simpler ways to do things but I'm afraid my ideas may sound stupid. I work at a company that does primarily engineering type work and my degree is in English. I dont want to sound stupid to them. Also, alot of people don't know what is going on in the company as there are really not a lot of set procedures on doing day to day tasks that are a part of your daily job. How can I go about in not a bossy attitude, that I have a lot great ideas that could help the company. I dont know a lot of business but all my ideas would really make people a lot happier in doing their jobs and there would be a better understanding of their work. That feeling of being lost would be done away with. How can I go about getting this done and show em that I can get the job done easier and quicker?

My husband and I are thinking of buying a new construction home in another state this year and would not like the house to be completed until next May (if possible) So my question is would we have to start paying on the mortgage immediately or when we move in? Also would we start paying state taxes for that house even if it hasn't been completed yet and also homeowners insurance?

I want to buy a house. It comes with a barn suitable for conversion into a second cottage or two apartments and a second barn which is currently rented out to a number of people for storage. There is also 2000 m2 of land, on which the town mayor has told me that there would be no objection to a new residential building or two.

I need 100,000 euros in the first instance to buy the property, and then further funds to renovate it.

As I am self-employed, getting a mortgage is very difficult (the property is not in the UK) and the finance companies won't accept the true current value of the property as sole security.

The interest in the property is low as it is not normal to invest to renovate in this area, but all the same, I am worried I will miss my chance with this.

Can anybody help? Or do you know someone who can? Serious answers only please.

When you buy a company's stock, you are buying a fraction of the company.

If a company has 10 million shares

and if the stock price goes up $20 dollars in a given year

then is it logical to say that all the buyers and sellers during that same year, all of their "monetary gains and losses" will add up to $200,000,000.00 ?

Because if it is, then it sorta implies that to make profits in the stock market, you either make an "average profit" and if you do superior, your gains are at the expense of those who do inferior.

I define these in the following inequality

inferior
I ask this because I have studied finance and there are losers who are smart yet not logical enough to see that people who simply "hold stocks" for an entire given year simply shrink the amount of shares available for trading during that same year.

Therefore concluding people who "actively trade" only do so at each other's expense, and their group makes no "magic profit"
Because

I started working at Dunkin's Donuts for about 3 days but so far I'm thinking that this is not the job for me. Its obviously a fast-paced job and I can't handle it mentally. I'm in training right now and I'm not sure if I'm able to tell the manager if I can quit. And I'm not sure if I can quit during my training. If I can, what is a nice way to tell him that I want to quit the job even though its too early.

I have one business account that is in the red (has been for more than a month) and one personal account that is in the black. I had money put into the personal bank account and the bank immediately transfered it into the one that is in the red without asking me. Is this legal or allowed? Is there going to be a section in the terms of service? Is there someone or some government body/website where I can find out more about this?

I'm just trying to help out my friend.. she got divorced last year, but still living together with her ex (I know it's weird). Her ex got his 2nd stroke last year (after divorce )and has not been able to work ever since. He can complete simple tasks such as eating, walking, carrying objects, driving, and following simple instructions, but he can no longer work like he used to. He is also having short term memory loss. She is currently supporting him for all his financial needs, but is really having a hard time financially....her current income is no longer enough to support her family. She was told that they are eligible for getting disability money but first he has to get a psych test. However, ex-husband is refusing to get a test saying that "there's nothing wrong with me". He can't even fill out a job application !!! any suggestions would be appreciated !!!
