Business & Finance - 8 November 2007

Is there any way to find out? If it were possible for the average guy to make a living this way, almost everyone would be doing it. You would have millions of people quitting their jobs and selling their houses, cashing in their 401(K)'s to do it.

I know there was a lot of day trading in the late 90s and most of them probably got wiped out when the bubble burst in 2000.

What about now though?

My wife and I are thinking about buying a Christmas tree farm. Thing is we disagree with the owners on the value of the land containing the trees. Just wondering if anyone has seen this before. If it helps it's in Illinois. We really need a number to work with per acre. Is it comparable to buying wooded land of farm land? Any help is very much appriciated. Thanks.

I was told he knows about her sleeping but since they are REAL good friends she would never get in trouble and being that I am new and seeing this kinda behavior under his management ,there's a problem. And from what I hear she does this all the time. I was reading my employee handbook and it even states NO SLEEPING!!! And to make it worst I have proof-I took a picture using my camera phone. I would like to take it to someone but I feel that maybe I should cover myself first. According to the handbook it has a chain of command system well the first person would be my boss but he is already aware so should I go above him. Keep in mind they are REAL good friends's. Other people have saw her sleeping but since they know our boss and her are friends's they turn the other cheek well I'm new and barely know about their friendship and I feel that if the company is going to have rules EVERYONE needs to follow them and if not whenever I feel sleepy can I take a nap?What should I do next.

We have relocated to scotland from england, where I had a good job and a mother to help with childcare. I am now looking to work again but find that with childcare for 3 kids I will probably only end up earning about £10 a day after petrol, clothes food etc. Has anyone found anything they can do to make it worth while?
