Sorry to hear about your current situation. Take the holiday season off and relax... Aiming lower, I thought of 3 job ideas for 2010: A: Re-up in the military... B: Get a job at Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Target. Find a growing company that has a management career ladder training...

Check out the current issue of Forbes magazine, November 16, 2009. The front cover says: "The $10 phone bill" "AT&T and Verizon's Worst Nightmare is Starting to Happen" I have not read the article yet, but long-term, it can't be good...:confused:

I'll take a stab at it based on common sense which may not apply here since most states, counties, cities are looking for ways to "enhance" their revenue... I think it depends on whether you file a Schedule C form or a Schedule D form on your Federal tax return (assuming that you do file a...

Very true, the fantasy continues...:eek:

I think a rational person would probably laugh. It might be part ignorance on their part. It might be that they don't know any better. Or it could be they saw that late night infomercial with the green light/red light thing. "It's so easy, anyone can make alot of money", just sign up for our...

"The Ego has Crash Landed" is more accurate...:D

A few days ago the conventional wisedom was that Tokyo would be eliminated in the first round. Turns out that Chicago was eliminated first. Toyko was eliminated second. What happened? Some pundits are suggesting that the typical Obama "it's all about me, me, me", type of speech was NOT...

It depends on the situation. Here in California, you will be penalized for NOT overpaying as mandated by a new state law. Due to the state budget crisis, starting in tax year 2009, quarterly payments have to be front end loaded to give California Government an interest free loan...

Ken Lewis never seemed to have what it takes to be a brilliant Chairman & CEO. Don't know if he got bad advice or just surrounded himself with not-so-bright advisors. Just look at his recent acquisitions: MBNA, Countrywide Financial and Merrill Lynch. It seems that he paid too much and his...

In this crappy economy, the OP has to adjust to the realities of the marketplace. You have to make lemonade out of lemons. First, you need to move to where you might be more competitive. You are definately not in the same league as others in the greater NYC area who are looking for a job...

I would NOT do the above. That's a good way to get on the firm's DND list. At the firm I used to work at, the Managing Director had 3 office phone numbers. One of them is the public number, the other two are for established clients, other executives within the company, calls of a personal...

I think the odds of landing a career type job that you desire are very slim in the greater NYC area. In the eyes of almost any employer, you are a college graduate with no experience. There are many more qualified folks who have been laid off, (with a proven track record) that are...

Maybe they got one of those 1% teaser adjustable rate loans that will explode in their face in 2 years. The numbers just don't pencil out, but this is one way the deal could work...

Goldman Sachs would never do that!:D

"Broker Could Steal Your Strategy???" I seriously doubt it, because they don't know what triggered the entry or exit. Guess they could try to reverse engineer all the trades to try and deduce it, but I think it would be extremely tough to do. On the other hand, I have one ira account at a...

Bernie Madoff must be running a new investment fund through his wife...:D

LOL, how very true! Someone finally speaks the truth here on ET. This made my day...:D P.S. Jamal and Shaqueena will probably get promotions very soon...:)

We need to bring back debtors' prison... :D

Unemployment benefits should at most be about 30% of minimum wage and for no more that 4 months. This will give the unemployed the incentive to take a minimum wage job instead of sitting on their butt watching tv... What is this country coming to?:eek:

Wow! I guess in MA it is a lifestyle and not a temporary bridge until the next job...
