my son works at a tesco local and has done since he left school 2yrs ago. he has recently been promoted to team leader and sometimes has to manage the shop. to my horror, he told me that apart from learning how to use the till, stocking up ect, he has had no training whatsoever on how to deal with joe public in challenging situations ie how to defend himself or even if he can, his legal rights ect.is this true all you tesco workers??he states that tescos dont invest money on their staff training and thats why they have so much money.. he has never been on or been offered any sort of training course since hes worked there, not even first aid.i just wondered how many of you have come across this..

And payments that would be no more than $800.00/ month including taxes and insurance in the Florida Panhandle. I know it sounds crazy, but this house, if not for all the property flipping that artificially raised the price of housing to a rediculous level, this house would be worth no more than $100,000.00. Is there any possibility the price will ever drop that low again? Or does anyone think there are any Investors willing to take the risk on someone like me?

I purchased a home with a childhood friend. Both our names are on the title and both of our names are on the mortgage. We lived in the home together for approx. 1 year and then we moved out going our seperate ways and turned the house into a rental property.

I purchased a second home with my new wife that we currently live in. My childhood friend lost his job a while back and can not afford to pay his part of the mortgage for the house and i can not afford to pay the whole mortgage in addition to the mortgage on the house me and my wife live in. the rental income from the house helps a little but we still have an approx. $1000 difference every month we have to come up with (his half is $500 and my half is $500). what are my options? if we cant pay the rental houses mortgage anymore and it gets foreclosed upon, is my home i live in with my wife in any kind of jeopardy???

selling it is out of the question as the real estate market slide puts us in a negative equity situation.

Workload has increased significantly over an extended period of time which legitimizes creating a new position. Me and my co-workers have been picking up the work out of necessity but cannot sustain this increased pace forever. My manager refuses to ask administration for a new position. Why would my manager make this decision? What effect might this have on me and my co-workers?

Ok I am so confused I heard it was the buyers market It don't seem that way I heard on the news yesterday now it's going to be hard? We really want to do this the right way but are very scared cause we don't know what's good and bad. I got paperwork in the other day about our loan for 103.000 and we would pay an additional 160,000 on top of that this seems very wrong (the intrest rate was 7.2%) We are working on paying off all debt and will do so with income taxes I just payed off our trailer and car so I know when we finish our scores will go up a little but we need to get a new car also and I'm afraid if we do that our score will go down again and make our intrest payback high. I don't understand all the legalities of it. We were looking at a mobile home we liked but I was told we shouldn't go that direction but I feel like we have no options of what we can do b/c to buy land and build is so expensive and I don't know if we can afford a 1,000 mortgage. Thanks in advance.

I think a stock is (maybe) due for a nice rebound and I want to own some shares. The stock is selling now for $27. I sell a put one month out at $25, and buy a couple of calls two months out at $30. If the price goes down, I'll have 100 shares put to me at a bargain price. If the price goes above $30, I can buy shares at below market value at time of exercise and keep the put $. Does this option combination have a name? And is it a sensible strategy assuming I'm bullish? I'm an options novice, so I would appreciate any serious replies.

My fiance and I have lived in our apartment for almost 2 months now. Since we moved in we have had a roach problem. We keep telling the landlord, they sent their exterminator twice and it seems like the problem keeps getting worse.
I was told that the roach problem would be grounds to break a lease...is this true? and how would i go about doing it?
Thanks
