Why might it be a plus for a company to have such a high share price that trading in its stock is discouraged? What drabacks might there be for a company in this situation? This is in reference to Warren Buffet's investment company, Berkshire Hathaway.

my manager is trying to give me a run around in this issue. the money that i as asked to pay is the amount that i paid for my H1 visa fee. this was supposed to be paid by the company but they asked me to pay myself after i joined the company. they should have let me know this before i joined the company and i was left with no choice at that point rather than paying from my pocket. they reimbursed the amount later but they gave it as a sign-on bonus and since i am leaving before the contract ended, they are asking to pay it back. i really dont want to pay. the amount, it is $3,600. But i am worried that if i leave without paying them, will my new employer know about this which might give them a very wrong impression on me. can my current employer contact my new employer? is this legal?

I have a 2002 Saturn that i have had financed for the past 5 years, I only have 8 more payments to make on this car but because of other obligations I can only send the finance company $100.00 a week which I do every week. I am only one month behind. The finance company has said I may have a problem with my loan. I have been making payments with this company for the last 5 years and although I have been late in the past I always get the account up to date. Now, with the holidays approaching I am late again can this company reposess my car even though I am sending them $100.00 a week. I pay $335.00 a month and I owe them about $450. Is it true that if I send them something every month they cant do anything any help on this matter will be appreciated. Thanks

Yes, I love to travel. I actually romanticize the red-eye, spontaneously setting out for the airport at a moment's notice, have breakfast in London, Lunch in Milan and Dinner in the US.

Sure, I know it's not as rosy as I am describing it but you see thats how much passionately I love to travel.
I would hate to have a job that will confine me to walls of a cubicle all the time.

I am in US and studying for my Master's in Computer Science.
I have a passion for this field and I know I can do wonders in it.

I just wanted to know what fields in the general area of Computer Science will allow me lots of travel?

Please feel free to be specific...

You know, i've been trading for at least more than 2 years. Literally, i've been sitting on the computer at least 6 hours a day. There was not one day, that I didnt sit on the computer studying the market. I've bought many things, and got scammed with my money. I've deposited money that was my monthly's salary, and lost all of those money, down to less than a dollar. I've tried every indicator there is. I retested one month, last month, thought it would refresh my mind, and give me good ideas. No, not at all, it didn't help. So, is threre anyone out there, that could help me? I promise, if you want me to keep it a secret, I will be glad to, I promise. But, if you want me to spread it, I will too. I keep promises, trust me. Right now, I am writing and studying the market, losing $200 on a position right now. :(

I don't know what to do. Can anyone out there, be really nice to someone in need, I would be the happiest man in history. I am in huge debt, I don't know what to do. Please!

I'm an Engineer who lives in California,
and I Design ComputerChips.
I lost my job a few months ago.
I have been looking very hard to line-up
more work and I have some possible jobs in the works.
Right now I am about 2months behind
on my car payments.
I have been talking to the creditor every week
to keep them in the loop on my job status.
I have-not been blowing them off in any way.
Yet I recently received a letter from them
saying that my failure to make payment arrangements
could result in my car being repoed.
Is there anything I can do to prevent that from happening
while I'm looking for another job?
Thanx!

Last year I applied for a job with the Library of Congress. I noticed there was an optional section where you could state whether you have a handicap or not. I noticed it when I had only ten minutes left to submit my application via the internet, so I called their office. The administrator said if I had a handicap, I should DEFINITELY mention it (assuming it wouldn't interfere with the work) since they want competent handicapped people. Then he asked if I had some 'official handicapped' form. I said I didn't, just a doctor's note. He said I needed a gov't approved form. Does anyone know what this form could be?

I worked for an insurance company as a sales agent. I was paid commisions as an advance to the policy holder paying their premiums. I had an agent account which basically showed what they advanced me. As premiums came in it was taken off the account. When you leave this company and you have a balance in your account, no renewals are paid to you(off your account). If you terminate contract before 2 yrs. you get no renewals regardless of account balance. I ended my contract after 1 yr. I had a balance of 5,000 dollars in my account, money they advanced me. They demanded immediate payment of account with threats of collection. Even though my policy-holders were still paying in. I ended up claiming this on bankruptcy, 1 1/2 yrs later. Than I found out my sales director turned this in as earned income to IRS. They are now coming after me to pay on money I never earned. Help me...I have tried to explain but they don't understand how insurance payment works. Am I wrong?

The sale was handled through real estate agents...all by the book. It was an "as is" sale and I disclosed all known structural defects and flaws. The buyers sent me a nice, biographical letter along with their offer, which is now in escrow.

Would there be legal danger to me by establishing follow-up contact with them -- explaining little quirks and stories about the house that weren't covered on the disclosure statement? Things like the fruit trees on the property that need special care to produce...that kind of thing. Or best to just avoid contact with new owners once it's a done deal?

We have a contract on our house for $25,000 less than our asking price. We found the home of our dreams and were eager not to lose it so we took the low offer. Now they are making many demands and even though the inspection came back with very minor repairs they are demanding that every single thing be done or they will back out. My opinion is that if they will really back out over a clogged drain then they were planning on backing out anyway. Better now than later. My husband thinks we should give in to everything but I think we should refuse the majority and assume they won't really walk away. What do you think!?

i.e. Yahoo is trading at about $27 i would buy a LEAP JAN09 17.5 strike at $11.15 and sell/write a JAN08 30 strike for $1.15 total cost is $10 ($1000 for the contract), and as the calls I write expire I would write new ones for the next month until I get exercized (in the first trade that would be at $30 for a $250 profit on a $1000 investment) or offset the LEAP close to expiration, always making sure the strike price was high enough so that if excersized I would make money counting in the premiums I collected. Basically this is similar to standard covered calls but more leverage (I belive the proper term for this strategy would be a "Diagonal Spread"). Is there any downside of using LEAPS instead of Stock that I am missing besides the obvious time constraint where I have a little over a year to pull a profit as opposed to buying the stock where I have as long as it takes? Any suggestions or tips are appreciated.

B/c I read somewhere that Derek Jeter owns a property in Florida and lives in Florida, and owns an apartment in NY, but does not live there, and the source states that he does not pay NY land tax. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!

Some of them are in unions, I think. I've always thought it could be a good job. Kind of tedious. Yes, but most jobs are. Either that or way too stressful. Or both.

I am thinking to go into the stock market. My idea is to trade stocks of well established companies. Looking to make a small profit. I would appreciate it if any one who has experience with day trading can give me some advice. Which sector to pick?. What stratgey to use?.
The strategy that I am working on is to pick companies with good fundementals, but then use technical analysis to do the short term trading. I don't want to go for the long term investment becuase I don't like how the stock market has been behaving lately (mostly a down trend).
