Hello,
Can someone give me some info on energy trusts?
For example I see PWI. It has a yield of 13.76%.
Is there a downside to this?
the price just seems to hover between 17 and 28.
so it seems like a good place to park and make a big yield?

I am excited about the Govt's recent activity to save my home fron recession....It would be easy to be the Fed chairman job..all you have to do is move rates lower when the economy looks flat lined and raise them while everything is going great. Anyway, now that the Govt has dropped the interest rate by a half percent, how long will it take until it gets easy again to refinance and lower the mortgage payment? I think the good days are back and homes should start building equity again. it should also be easy to get credit cards now that homes will shoot back up. Can I get some equity money at cheap rates going forward? After all, if the banks get loans for less cost, then we can expect this rate cut automatically...I can't wait, I want to shop til I drop and will put the goods on my CCard so I can pay later., I love free/cheap money!...lots of deals still out there.

OK-here's the situation. The girl I work with was originally offered my position (a full-time position with higher pay) but she declined it because she only wanted to be a part-time employee. Then her husband died and she asked for more hours to keep her mind off everything, and now that she is working more hours and technically a full-time employee she is thinking to herself, hey, i should have just taken that position since i'm working anyway full-time. so now she's trying to get me fired by making me always look bad, making it look like i don't know what i'm doing and talking to my boss and coworkers about how I do everything wrong. she wants my job and it's so obvious. and on top of it all, she is so fake, you know always smiling and being all kind to me. ahhhh! what do i do?

Imagine that you can't stand your current boss. She's rude, offensive, a micromanager, and very inappropriate. She slacks off on her job and when things go wrong because of her slacking, she blames anyone nearby (the poor soul who happens to be nearby is usually fired).

So now you're on a job interview for a new/better job and the interviewer asks you a direct question about your current boss. How do you answer?

A. Tactfully express that you and she tend to not see eye to eye on things.
B. Straightout say that you hate her.
C. Lie through your teeth saying that everything is rosey and that you're only looking for new employment to broaden your horizons.
D. Something different

The agency is called gc services and they said they are willing to get rid of my finance charges and late fees if i pay half of the debt i owe. I originally owed them $3000 but they said if i pay 800 now and pay them back the rest within three months that it will clear up the debt owed to citi bank. This is my first time doing something like this so i accepted the deal and i have until two days to pay them the 800 but i got a statement today saying that i will be making the payment for eight hundred and they still have my original balance i owe them the 3000 and no mention of the deal we made on the phone so i got scared and went and took all my money out of the account. Are they trying to screw me?

I work at Sobeys, a grocery store branch throughout Canada. I'm only just out of high school, still living at home, decided to get a job for pocket change, like movies, and stuff like that. Nothing major. Anyways, I got hired part-time, now they're giving me full-time hours. I feel so stressed out and tired all of the time, and my family, friends and girlfriend say they never see me, and it's true.

I just don't need the money. I talked to my manager last week and told her that I'm taking an online course, and I really don't need so many hours, and to bring me down to like 3 shifts a week, but ha ho, and alas, 40 hours this week, 5 days in a row. Like, there's no need of it. I just want some spare change...

I find it really unprofessional how they can't even work with me on this and how they're just assigning hours to me like my request didn't even matter.

Should I quit? If so, should I even give them 2 weeks? They aren't working with me so why should I work with them?

Do you think it's reasonable to pay extra on your credit card bill each month and then think of that money as still being available if you need it?

I bough a house two years ago as an investment. The house was purchased for $310,000. I gave a $35,000 down payment. Now two years later I owe $290,000 (neg amortized loan) and the current market value of the house is about $275,000. I refinanced to an interest only loan so at least the property is no longer being negatively amortized.

What are my best options in reducing my loss?

Thank you for your time and advice.

the best way to handle this without the judgement going on my credit. Should I go into court with an attorney? Can you tell me how much will it cost? Will the attorney make a difference versus me going in by myself & telling them I lost my job & begging for mercy?
