Question.......supposedly, it is illegal to charge interest in Islamic cultures. Does that mean if you buy a car or home and need a loan they don't charge interest? Or do they figure the cost of a loan into the sales price? Or is the interest free idea a thing of the past? But, the idea of a...

I guess it depends on what you want to do. If you buy something, you get it charged in Euros from your CC and then it is converted back when the sale is made. If you want to send some money overseas like 1,000, 5,000 etc...it is based on the current rate or perhaps the previous day's rate...

That was a great book from a different era that will never return. He left the family farm at 14 and ran away to NYC to make it on his own. Try that today. I learned about bucket shops. It was fun to hear about those black gentlemen that eavesdropped on the telegraph messages being recorded...

Perhaps, but I am assuming that this is based on the idea that older cars that consume higher rates of fuel will be off the road and will be replaced with more efficient cars, hybrids and electric cars. This will be true in the U.S., Canada and Europe.... But.....the middle class is rising in...

Tebow has a lot of integrity, but if I recall he did well at the beginning and then declined. Didn't he go to training camp last year and get cut early? I don't recall a hundred percent. He's definitely a nice guy, but that's not enough if you are getting paid 5M a year. The buy has biceps...

Interesting, I never knew about Liquidity Rebates.....9:45 How HFT Works

If you want variety and something new ....Whole Foods is interesting. They have stuff there I have never seen. But much more than other stores. They used to be popular because they were the first ones to have organic food, but every store has those now. Even Target has their own brand of...

I saw something briefly today on CNBC that said oil supplies had expanded. And tonight Cramer suggested that prices would be up 50 percent by the end of the year....which I doubt. Who do you believe? I think half the people making comments just make them to fill air time. I still don't...

I'm impressed. He is only 16. Most 16 year olds don't even know what an IRA is and could not define the S and P 500. The kid has got a good head on his shoulders. Wait until he is 30 and see where he is.

I like the first pic. It would be so cool to see something like that. I wonder how long it will be before we will see commercial satellites launched into space, radiating advertising logos from space that would be seen by an entire hemisphere at one time. Imagine looking at the sky at night...

I saw something Monday that said the excess worldwide inventories of oil are slowly diminishing. So, the price will probably stay in the neighborhood of $42: $40-$45, for the foreseeable future. Assuming nothing extraordinary happens, like a refinery catches on fire or a conflict erupts...

They said that transgenders would be permitted to use either bathroom. A lot of people disagree with it but if the law requires it, you don't have much choice. --------------- Anyhow, I buy most all of my groceries at Target. The women that shop at Target are better looking than the ones that...

If you look at the FBI statistics, most victims are shot by their own friends. If you are white it's about 80-85 percent and if you are black it 's about 95 percent. The problem is not guns, it's the lifestyle you live and the friends you associate with.

I know each candidate has contributors with deep pockets, but I did not know they reached so deep. At least for a politician. Giving money to hungry children or saving the Amazon, sure. Politicians, no. I wonder if they are motivated by their civic duty for social change or if they expect...

That was good.....:)

That reminds me of Harry Potter and 'The Man With A Name You Can't Pronounce' or something like that...... I wonder if that was an influence.

It's getting pretty bad if McD stopped selling Big Macs. I wonder if they are still using bread for hamburgers and cheeseburgers? McDonalds has stopped selling the Big Mac in Venezuela because of a bread shortage...

You're a genius, it works just like you suggested. (This message was approved by Raymond and sent from his Android phone).

Yeah, it worked fine on my phone when I searched it, but an app would be a nice shortcut...and eliminate typing and a search function...........:)

I remember the pound dropped 10 percent the day after Brexit and they say it will drop until it reaches parity with the dollar. I found this article Friday evening. It was interesting. ---------- Britain just got its first concrete sign that the British exit from the European Union, or...
