    Liars, Lawyers, Con Men And Thieves
    Do you know the difference between a run over skunk and a debt collector in the road?Skid marks in front of the skunk.Debt collectors have been correctly branded the worst type of collection agents. Their operations are from a computer driven database provided to them by the very people you trusted this personal information with, your creditor. By the time a collection agency gets your account, it has been “charged off” for non-payment and sold for between 8 and 12 cents on the dollar. Commission is the way they make their money, usually between 15 and 25 percent, and some have stepped across the line of decency and what th
    I’ve noticed a few things lately. Revolving debt is approaching a trillion dollars and there are quite a few homes for sale. Today I’ll offer some insight into credit cards, Bill Gates, the housing market and saving money.

    The Federal Reserve Board statistics pegged revolving debt at an astounding $816 billion at the end of last quarter. Bill Gates fortune was $50 billion in Forbes 2006 survey. Considering Bill Gates philanthropy and the relative popularity of this great article site, I offer this suggestion:

    Dear Mr Gates,

    Would you please consider contributing $40 Billion toward our credit card debt?

    Thank You.

    Now let’s suppose that we catch Mr. Gates in a good mood and he reads this and decides to help us out (Bill email me and we’ll talk). First thing he’d have to do is sell a whole lot of Microsoft stock. What do you suppose would happen to the price of Microsoft stock if a billion shares were suddenly for sale? The price would plummet. Why? The answer is simple. There would be more sellers than buyers. In the short term, the price drops to a level where supply equals demand. Over the long term, what guides supply and demand are the stock’s earnings. The long-term value of a stock is not changed by a short-term increase in the number of sellers, although that increase in the number of sellers does create a tremendous opportunity for buyers. Such is the condition in today’s real estate marketplace. While stocks are a function of the earnings, real estate is a function of the rents. The euphoria of buying a home and selling it for $50k more in a few months has pushed real estate values to unsustainable levels. Now that world news is reporting a housing slowdown, ‘for sale’ signs are appearing on every block. Housing prices will gradually begin to approximate a historical calculation that can be derived from the rental income received. Again, this provides a tremendous opportunity. This opportunity exists for both homeowners and those contemplating entering the housing market. Please allow me to explain.

    AOL Spam Filtering Technology
    America Online (AOL) is one of the major mail administrators in the internet industry. AOL like other mail administrators provides a quality service in terms of its mailing procedures and formats. Optimizations of emails as well as spam filtering are also part of AOL’s service. Indeed AOL makes a clear runway for their users emails.Sender Policy Framework (SPF) has been adopted by AOL to fight spam. SPF doesn’t literally block spam unlike spam filters and spam busters. What an SPF does is that, it keeps the real addresses from being forged, and thus prevent misdirected emails (bounced emails) on legitimate senders – protected re

    Casualness In Modern Office Furniture
    The modern offices demand an economic outlook. With everything so mindlessly attached to the economics of the workplace, often, the looks and style, reminiscent of classical craftsmanship, are ignored while furnishing the office. The grace and aura associated with Amish made furniture is sadly missing in the workman-like environment in the modern offices.The modern offices are being increasingly approached in a mechanical way. The normal approach these days is on the following lines – settle on a business idea, design a market strategy, select the office premises, hire an interior decorator and leave it to him for setting up the w

    I suppose I should start by listing who will not be benefiting by current market conditions – anyone pressed to sell their home today. For reasons listed above, this is not the best time to put your home on the market. Smart homeowners are taking their home off the market and pulling cash out to pay off credit cards and consolidate bills, enabling them to wait out this period of over-supply. After this over-supply cycle has ended, it will be time to sell.

    For those of you considering entering the housing market, you may not be aware that we are at an unprecedented time in history. This is good news. Sellers are willing to assist you with financing in the form of a second mortgage. Not only do you have a selection of homes but this type of financing enables you to buy with ‘no money down’ even with a credit score as low as a 500. The only caveat is that you need to be able to afford the monthly payment. You don’t want to put yourself in a position of having to sell the home shortly after you buy it. Today’s market is ideal for building a portfolio of real estate for the long term.

    Now I’m not holding my breath for Bill Gates to take us up on our $40 billion credit card request, so I’ll make another suggestion. It won’t involve actual cash, but it is another way to accomplish the same result. The MASSPIRG Consumer Association completed a report titled “Deflate Your Rate: How To Lower Your Credit Card APR”. An interesting finding was that 56% of the consumers in the study were able to lower their APR with one five-minute phone call to their credit card company. The report offers the following script:

    “Hi, my name is [Your Name]. I am a good customer, but have received several offers in the mail from other credit card companies with lower APRs. I want a lower rate on my card, or I will cancel my card and switch companies”

    The study indicated that the average reduction in APR was 5.53% for those who were successful. If everyone is able to accomplish the same results then the savings would be 56% * 5.53% * $816 billion, and that is approximately $25 billion. It’s not quite the $40 billion we were looking for, but it’s close.

    In conclusion, saving money is important to everyone and our success in the future will depend on the decisions that we make today. Much can
