The businesses are three restaurants. No real estate owned. Structured as 2 LLC's....I will form 3. As a consultant nothing will secure his money, but I'd be willing to sign any contract his lawyer could draw up that would be fair to him. As well, his son is staying on to work for me, and...

I really appreciate the response. There are going to be plenty of cpa's and lawyers involved when the contract is drawn up...right now we're just trying to figure out what options we have to structure the deal. His tax rate may or may not be 15% of the 1099 figure, depending on his other...

Hi all. I'd appreciate some knowledgeable responses here! I am getting ready to buy a business. The seller's asking price is 600k, he wants 300k down and he's willing to finance the other 300k for 7yrs with no interest (about 43k/yr). The seller is using a business broker who's...

I see...thanks a lot for the info. I found an email address for them online and requested info...hopefully I'll hear something back. No traders already in Italy that want to share an office??

Can you make some people answer my thread about an office in Italy? j/k Unless you can.

Hmm. Before I saw this post I went out and bought a Nvidia 210 graphics card....hoping to run it along w/ the Nvidia card I already have. I did try using the card I had w/ two monitors through windows w/ properties - settings etc but another monitor to extend the desktop to didn't appear...

How about this solution: The T3400 came w/ a Nvidia card, but it doesn't support 2 monitors, except as a clone. If I add another Nvidia card in a PCI slot behind the original (having two cards)....I think I should be able to use both cards ...and 3 monitors. I think this can be...

When will MFglobal be added? I don't want to miss the one week window to sign up. Thanks.

You guys that are asking if he can 'keep up' w/ everything going on on the floor probably are just not used to that style of trading...i.e. true higher volume scalping and market making. You're probably able to understand what he's saying but not getting a picture of what it means, why its...

That last guy described it well. Worth noting auctions may see more volatility as the fed stops buying treasuries. Only 3bl left to buy I believe.
