As an example when companies start they usually need money from INVESTORS like Wal-Mart, in turn the investors hope to get capitol gains. Why then after companies have grown like Wal-Mart don't they buy their stock back? I meanI know some companies HAVE and do but why don't all of them?

The Chinese government has reduced or eliminated many or most Export Tax Credits. Metals continue to rise and transportation costs increase monthly or quarterly. Where is the next "China" in terms of low cost manufacturing costs?

I know the best thing to do with that kind of money is to put it in a bank, but a savings doesn't give enough interest as to where a "CD" does. I'm not sure to put this in a College Fund or use a CD. Cause I know I won't ever be using this kind of money. What is the best solution for me?

My daughter's apartment landlords are planning to spray for bugs. They told her if she does not comply, they will charge her $50. She doesn't want the inside of the cabinets sprayed where her dishes and glasses are kept. There is no mention of fumigation in her lease and the apartment is under new management. This is in OKC.

One reason that the Federal Government collects income taxes as a person earns income is so that:
a - people do not realize exactly how much they are paying.
b - the money can be put aside until it is needed.
c - the government can pay bills as they come due.
d - taxpayers can qualify for refunds of excess taxes.

Thank you!

What is the legal way to pass the sales tax paid for items on to your customers? Example: I am contracting to do a construction job. I purchase the supplies and complete the job. When the product is completed, and the customer is billed for supplies and labor, how do I include the sales tax I paid for the supplies in the final invoice?

I made payment arrangements with a CA before I learned anything about valid of debt or disputing. I made 1 $100 payment for Mervyn's. Then last week I send valid of debt letter. They received it Monday. Then today I received message on cell phone from CA saying that I have until 4 pm today to call them and try to work this out because I have been ignoring their calls. He says if I don't call, they will proceed with possible lawsuit. The collector is Arches Financial but they work with Law Offices for when I call, I get the law offices secretary lady. Any advice? I live in TX and reseted the SOL when I made payment! Big Mistake!

Can somebody learn to improve their peope skills? I consider myself to have good people skills, but every once in a while I make a mistake that should have been avoided. Can I improve this or is it something that is pretty much instinct and either you can do it or can't? Any suggestions on how to improve it?

I just wanted to know if anyone knows of people who list on here that are scams(lenders wanting to borrow money 2 u)
I have had some emails and they sound fishy, one is from barclays loan. I thought if we could(honest ones) compile a list of scam lenders vs. good lenders, especially for those who have bad credit. They don't need their situation worse. It's terrible people prey on those who are really in need. Thanks for all your imput and help.

What happens if I want to sell my house, but my house's value
has dropped below my original mortgage. I bought my
house at $495,000.00 in 2005 but now I fear that it's current
value is probably $400,000.00. I just can't pay the monthly
payments anymore and I need to sell the house.

I'm 20 years old, married, no kids. I want to take out a term life insurance plan. (I probably will need it for about 30 years) My question is, should I take out a 30 year plan, so I will be paying the same rates in 30 years? Or should I take out a shorter one, paying less, than purchase another one in 10 or 20 years? I've heard speculation that rates will be lower when I'm 40 because life expectancy will be longer. What do you guys think? I'm in good health and don't have a bad medical family history. Thanks!!
