    Penny stocks?

    INVESTING 
    I agree with Luke. Key indicator is volume. If your volume is the only big trade of the day, you're gonna get nailed. If there isn't someone making a market for them when you get ready to sell, then "oops".

    How to develop your PLAN

    HOT! 
    I'm experiencing something similar - kinda. I've lost both of my parents in the past 3 years. When we were preparing for the estate sale in December, I just couldn't bear to "dump" a lot of the stuff, so I took it with me. It's still in boxes (many, many boxes) that I will go through when the...

    Would NEVER happen in Illinois!

    REAL ESTATE 
    My county raised all property values 10%, across the board this year. So my house is now assessed for $75K more than the last appraised value and $88K more than we paid. Neighbors who have tried to protest their valuation in the past have basically been patted on the head and told "Sounds like...

    Hosting a Seminar

    If it's any consolation, it isn't for lack of good marketing (at least in my case). I got the marketing email and was getting out my credit card to pay until I noticed that it was the same weekend as Beer & Pancakes. Any chance you'd consider changing the dates?

    Not too far. 5 hour drive. Have you looked at the DFW (esp mid-cities) area where there's so much drilling going on for the next 10 years in the Barnett Shale? Some estimates have Ft. Worth growing by 50K in that time. I think that's a little high. But still. Anyway, yeah. Definitely will...

    $3,000 to $1,000,000 in 15 months: HOW TO DO IT

    IDEA 
    Good for you. A few pointers, if you're interested. The kids clothes will probably sell better in lots, divided up by sizes. You won't get as much for them that way. But your listing fees will be far less. It will also be FAR less labor intensive. If you have a lot of time on your hands, then...

    Yikes. I don't mean to derail this thread. And I don't know anything else about your situation. But you are exactly the type of person I was referring to in another thread (post 105) who could do what we did for short-term quick cash. Just an idea. If you have any other questions about it, feel...

    Not exactly. I'm not "proud" of my expensive lifestyle. I simply enjoy it. And there are many things that I AM trying to cut back on, such as $900 electric bills. :cuss: Not too proud of that. And the other thing you got wrong - I don't really work that hard!! :jiggy: Most definitely! I look...

    Rat Race dilemma...effects on the PLAN

    I agree with Andviv on this one. You have to weigh how MUCH more income you'll get from this new job and whether that will justify the drag on your time and energy. Even if role is similar to what you're currently doing, from my experience, you will definitly find the ramp-up process far more...

    To take the subject back off my particular situation, and frame it in more generic terms... The "choice" should be a business decision, IMO. It should not be about "comfort", "control", "security" or "happiness" or any of the other feelings that have been attributed throughout this board as...

    2007 goals update and 2008 goals

    Sounds like it was a tough year, CarrieW. Keep the faith, hon. And congrats on the weightloss. We all have our special challenges. I can fall out of bed and land on a pile of money most days. But as of late, I can't seem to lose 5 pounds without also losing 10 friends! Growth isn't always...

    Thanks for your response to that, JScott. I was trying to figure out how to respond to it without sounding defensive. I think what some folks haven't stopped to consider is that sometimes the big ships turn somewhat slower than their little Hobie cats. If I didn't have the lives and...

    Same here! Not only did I find my wonderful husband on the 'net, I also found my last car, my last 2 houses and my last 8 jobs (I'm a consultant - not a flake). And I'm really not a hermit. I just think it's a much more effecient way to do "business" - including dating! When time is at a...

    I laughed out loud when I read this. I know how much I spend each month, and it's pretty ridiculous and definitely unnecessary, but I've not really worried about it. But now that I'm starting to try to track everything, I'm cutting way back. But not because what you might think. It's not the...
