I mean they just rid of the rule and the market seems to be getting killed. The fix must be in! It used to be since 1929 crash when Joe Kennedy crashed the market by shorting stocks as they fell (creating huge amounts of down volume on stocks) that they(sec) made a rule that you could only short on an uptick and now they got rid of it. WHY?

I am paid with personal checks, so I suppose technically I am an independent contractor. No taxes are taken out of the checks, so I have been saving 30% of each that I receive for taxes. I know it's risky, but should I not pay taxes for the personal checks I have received if my employer does not report them? Would the IRS bother me (anytime soon) for $7000? I figure if they come after me years later, I can just negotiate and get on some sort of payment plan then. I really would rather use the money I have saved up to pay off my credit card debt. WaMu and Citibank have to be worse than the IRS, right?

I have this accounting case due tomorrow and my group and I are really torn about the answer to this question. Under LIFO the inventory was $950,000. The company estimates under FIFO the inventory would cost $1,250,000. An appraisal value of replacement inventory says it is $1,200,00 (whereas the net realizable value of the inventory would be $1,300,000 prior to the 10% sales commission that the Company pays on all sales) The company would like to know what amount of inventory should be reflected on the company's balance sheet and whether this would have any impact on the company's other financial statements.

I actually work at Walgreens as a sales clerk but want to join the pharmacy dept. because in that way I will be able to shadow a pharmacist and get some experience for how it feels to work in the pharmacy dept.

But I am not a pharm tech or have any certification. I am actually a pre- pharmacy student who wants to go to pharmacy school. Is there any such thing as working only as a cashier in the pharm dept?

I've basically been ignoring my default accounts and credit cards because I haven't had the means to pay them. I now have enough to pay them off. How do I go about finding what debts I have? I've moved several times, so my mail doesn't always find me, and until now I've been throwing out any overdue bills. I realize I was WRONG. Now I want to resolve it. I'd guess I owe about 5-6 defaulted bills....

I would like to put my own web site and sell some of my stories online. I already know how to get an online account, but I'm wondering what will it take to get a credit card from my local bank when you're self-employed online. What do you need from your own website that would allow you to own your own credit card. Are there very vital documents involved that I would definitely need to obtain one from my local bank ? Please tell me what I have to do to get it?

Say all you want against this opinion of mine, I don't give a ****. When you have to get up at 3:30am, then say something but if you are just going there to do shopping I don't want to hear it because anyone that has to work tomorrow will agree with me!

For example, if the CEO of McDonald's stops by a franchised McDonald's to get something to eat, and he saw an employee use foul language towards a customer, does he himself have the authority to fire that employee, or must he contact the owner/manager of the restaurant?

I've lived in this home for about 20 years. My parents had mortgaged the house with some old mortgage company and had paid off the mortgage. I'm trying to sell the home now and a title search is saying that the mortgage is unpaid, but I am 100% sure it is paid off. I can't find a satisfaction of mortgage payment letter on my side because my parents have passed away. The mortgage company that gave the mortgage was gone long ago and purchased by a new bank. Their records are gone. My parents were paying property tax etc. and never ever had a problem with someone claiming the mortgage hasn't been paid. I've actually already hired a lawyer and she has gathered tons of evidence and has already brought this information to court, but he tells me that a judge must review the information. It's been almost a year and I am still waiting for my money to get released from the title company. My attorney assures me that my case is solid. Is there anything I can do to try to speed up this process?

I bought a pullover yesterday for $50 because it was the only one left and it happened to be my size. I knew Black Friday was 2 days away but I really wanted it. It was from Macys and the receipt says if the item drops in price within 10 days of the bought date I can get a price adjustment and all I need is my receipt. Should I just bring my receipt to Macys when I go shopping on Black Friday and try to get a little money back? (I'm guessing if the item is still there it's going to be on sale like 40%)

I am on a 9 month CD and it does not mature until February 2008.

What are the penalties? If not from WAMU, what are some penalties given by other banks for withdrawing your CD early.

Thanks
