I think you start with an index and use derivatives, but I am not sure about the execution.

Ok, I am going to start off and say that; I work for the federal government and I am a little upset about this. If you win more than $5,000 you have to claim it to the IRS. What is up with that.

I am just trying to figure out what is going on with this country where the government just "has to" have their d@mn hands in everything. Maybe I am being a little irrational but this is just ridicoulous. If you win it, playing poker or any gambling game for that matter you shouldn't have to claim sh!t!!!!.

But I guess that's what I fight for: The land of the free, right???

I bought a computer and had 0% for a year. I owe less then $300. Last month the interest ended and now they are charging me over $400 in interest. I knew there was going to be interest but when I first bought it they told there would only be interest for the remaining balance not the total purchase. I already talked to Dell and they just apolgized for the misunderstanding and said they could only waive $50. But is there anything else I can do? What would you do? Should I just pay it or should I just get bad credit and not pay?

We have had this card for more than fifteen years! I thought that such rates were not legal. So much for big business. I hope that all readers will remember this note when looking for a credit card company!

If we paid all our medical bills per month at $100, which is what they want us to do because we can't pay all in full it would add up to over $900 per month. That doesn't include our living expenses and other regular bills. We want to send them what we can which is $10 a month on each one until some of them are paid and then we can slowly increase what we are paying. We live in the state of georgia. The main hospital won't work with us and said they will only accept $100 per month. The magistrate said the hospitals didn't have to accept what we paid unless it was what they wanted and even if we were paying 10-$20. per month they could still turn it over for collection or garnish my husbands wages. we want to pay, but my husband hours at work have been cut to 32 and they've already laid some of them off. I am on total disability and only get one check per month for $563. Does anyone know about the laws in Georgia and if hospitals can refuse your payment if it's not what they want?

My husband and I are looking into leasing a car for him to use for work. He works from the house most of the time but does drive to see clients a couple of times a week, for which his company does pay mileage. Would we still be able to write off the lease payments (or a portion of them) as a business expense on our taxes?

I have a very hard time saving money. I am trying to afford an Hermes Picotin handbag: retail about $2k, but I'd like to save $3k by January.

I have a job, but it's in clothing retail and I find myself spending my entire check on clothes. I don't get paid regularly either, just once a month... so it's really easy just to work and take clothes (by keeping a tab and using my check to pay it) as I work along.
I sell things on ebay pretty regularly too. I can make good money at it, cause I just sell my designer clothes and bags, but then I ALWAYS end up spending the money I just made... back on eBay!! I just can't figure a way to save money.

BTW... I am married and don't pay any of the "real" bills such as mortgage, car, etc... so the money I make is mine to keep... but I just have a really hard time hanging onto it. Is anyone in a similar situation or have good suggestions for saving. I've tried giving it to my mom to hang onto, but then I always ask for it when I want something.

Will they really loan me $1500? I seriously need money or I will lose my apartment and car. My credit score is 510 so I can't get a regular credit card. My friends and family can't loan me anything. I start my new job Nov. 1 (salary $35K) but have been out of work 2 months and that is a mighty big hole. I am desperate.

Hi!

I have a ROTH IRA account.
After I bought my stock, it says short term.
Because I don't have to pay tax on my profit, I can sell it after 1 week or 4 year, still I don't have to pay tax.
Am I right?

I bought a new SUV last week but I did not trade in my older SUV. I listed for sale but now I'm thinking maybe I should donate it. The Blue Book Value is about $2,700 but there about $700 in break repairs needed. So I listed it for $2,000 in Auto Trader. Would it be better to donate it to charity for the deduction?

The old lickem stamps were no problem to remove. Lay a wet sponge on them for a few minutes and they fell off.

But what's the answer to removing the new nolickem stamps?

The company is private and registered in Quebec. I would like to sell low-value shares internationally. To make small investments feasible, we'd like to not have to print out physical certificates and mail them. Could we act as our own transfer-agent and say that our shares are "book entry shares" ? In the ideal scenario, we wouldn't have to send a physical certificate, and what we'd send electronically would serve simply as a receipt.

I received a savings account statement for an account I didn't open. When I called the bank they verified my identity to this account via the last 4 digits of my SS#. This is a legit bank. Someone apparently opened this account in my name and is transferring money to it. So far two transfers for a total of $12,500 has been transfered to this account. The transfers came from a Wells Fargo bank account that was also in my name. HOWEVER I don't have a Wells Fargo account either! The banks are now investigating and I am waiting to hear back from them. This very weird - and I can't find anything on the internet indicating that this is a common fraud associated with identity theft, and what the purpose is. They used my current address to open these accounts. I have checked my credit reports and no credit accounts have been opened in my name. I have posted alerts now. I wanted to know if anyone has ever heard of a situation like this. Thanks for any input.

I think it is cheaper to transport goods by rail than road. Maybe the trains are powered by oil, so fuel costs rise, but the railroads become more competitive because it is expensive to run trucks also.
So, what's the answer? Are high oil prices good or bad for railroad stocks.
