| The Nikkei closed on a negative note |
| posted by: gnutrade.satya @ Fri Jul 30, 2010 1:11 pm |
The Nikkei closed on a negative note as orders were weak for US durable goods and a downbeat take on the US economy from the Federal Reserve spurred profit-taking.
Yutaka Miura, a senior technical analyst at Mizuho Securities said: "Profit-taking is coming to the fore because in addition to worries about the uncertain outlook for the US and European economies, US stocks seem to be peaking out. Domestic earnings are helping support the market as they have been generally strong for the April-June quarter. But as most companies have kept their ... |

| posted by: BBKT @ Fri Jul 30, 2010 1:58 am |
Hello,
I have several government and private student loans that are about $90,000 total right now (I went to school for five year total for my masters and didn't get much in the way of grants). Here's how the loans break down:
Private #1: $26,500 at 4.35% variable. $175 minimum monthly payment, 18.5 years left of repayment.
Private #2: $7,800 at 4.94% variable. $35 minimum monthly payment, 17.75 years left of repayment.
Private #3: $28,600 at 4.94% variable. $226 minimum monthly payment, 15.25 years left of repayment.

| IRR |
| posted by: besoqor @ Thu Jul 29, 2010 10:42 pm |
Hello everyone!
I'm a starter in financial math and I have 2 questions about Internal Rate of Return (IRR):
For example, the person X wants to take a $4500 credit from bank at 15.9% for 3 year. The payments to the bank are required to make yearly, not monthly. According to the Financial Calculators and the formula of a PMT (payment) in Excel, if the person X makes payments once a year, the amount of each payment is $2000. So, the person X will make a total $6000 payment, the sum of 3 payments of $2000.
Now, I want to calculate IRR. Fina... |

Barrack Obama was recently working on a bill that would allow for small businesses to recieve easier funding, tax breaks, and other benefits. Sounds good right? Well, theres also estimated year end deficit of $1.4 Trillion to worry about as well as the not-so-favorable beurocratic system that buries business owners in paperwork that adds to their stresses.
There were a few articles written today that are good. You decide which is best...

My wife and I are both 24. We just got married in May. I'm in the situation of needing a car. Wanting to buy 1-2yr old car, used, from original owner. I've found plenty that suit my criteria in the $15-18k range.

| STOCK SALES AND BROKERS |
| posted by: newbie2010 @ Thu Jul 29, 2010 5:52 pm |
I'm handling my mother's estate and have discovered there is a substantial # of stock in one company that we've always thought were a part of the family trust. When they (both parents) formed the family trust, they gave 2500 shares of this particular stock to the broker based on the original stock certificate #s, but it looks as if that stock had split a year or two earlier.
When this kind of sale is done, wouldn't the additional shares that came from the split have transfered to the trust and broker at the same time, or is it all a matter... |

| The precious metal gold saw a flat day |
| posted by: gnutrade.satya @ Thu Jul 29, 2010 12:24 pm |
The precious metal gold saw a flat day as the market took a breather after hitting three-month lows the day before. The Metal was seen slightly lower as there were few surprises when the Federal Reserve said that the US economy kept growing overall in recent weeks, but unevenly and it actually slowed in a few regions as housing markets softened after the end of a popular tax break.
Standard Bank analyst Walter de Wet said: "For now, the metal looks very bearish technically and to be honest, all these moves since yesterday are heavily techni... |
