If you've driven through Atlanta - or perhaps throughout the South - you've seen large, attention-getting signs proclaiming (among other things) that someone has gas. ???My husband was the first to observe this sign. As he drove along 285, he picked up his cell phone and reported, "I pooted.""That's nice," I told him, once again rolling my eyes at his childish behavior. He called back five minutes later, heading north on Peachtree Industrial, to inform me, "My boogers itch." It took some time for me to believe these were real signs and not just the raving of my husband, the fruit cake. (But he still does good work!)Signs like this are springing all over the East coast, and a
The internet has made it possible to save money on lots of consumer purchases by cutting out the wholesale layers and dealing more direct with consumers in many areas, and auto financing is one of those areas for sure. When you shop for buying a new or used car you will most likely have to arrange some form of financing, unless you are financially able to just pay cash for the vehicle instead. But for most that is not an option, so here is how you can get online auto financing that can save you plenty of money when you buy a car.First of all, understand that every company who gets involved in lending you money for anything will most often drive up the cost of that loan. That is simply beca
Question: I read an article in The New York Times that gave you Realtors a pretty tough time. They indicated that the real estate industry is resistant to innovation via the internet and that Realtors don’t spend much time on each deal and therefore it is not worth the commission. Do you have any comments?
Answer: Great question. Thomas Stevens, the President of the National Association of Realtors wrote the following letter to The New York Times which I feel gives a very good overview of what a Realtor actually does. His letter follows:
“It would be hard to find a more one-sided piece of reporting than Damon Darlin's "The Last Stand of the 6-Percenters?" (September 3, 2006) His swipes at real estate agents reads like an advertisement for the Internet companies he repeatedly references.
“Perspective aside, some glaring errors deserve correction.
“Buying a home is not like buying a book, a CD, or an airline ticket. The Internet's role in residential real estate is much more like WebMD than Amazon or eBay. It empowers and informs the consumer – which is good for everyone – but it doesn't replace the need for a doctor's professional services. Re
If you are an executive, you may sometimes feel like a open jelly sandwich at a picnic. Every crazy critter in the world wants to bite into your budget. Here's how to protect your time and preserve your sanity.Ask questionsMany salespeople work from a script. Rather than let them read it, interrupt with, "Excuse me." Then determine the purpose of the call by asking questions such as, "What are you selling?" or "Why are you calling?" Set bounds on the call by stating that you will take one minute to hear their offer and that you have a timer. Cut through the enticement by getting the facts that you need to decide if their offer has value.Just say noIf you have

Nearly everyone I talk to day in and day out know someone who has been a victim of identity theft. I believe the last big thing in the news was Citibank, losing Millions of its clients' personal information.I'm sure if you watch the news tonight there will be new stories once more. I have worked in many industries where people fall victim to Identity theft.It's not a secret that identity theft is a major problem in America and Canada. Do you think you're not at risk? Unfortunately you are...- Do you hand your credit card to servers at restaurants or even checks? - Do you sign your credit cards or credit card receipts? - Do you supply personal information over the i

While exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are well known for their low cost, transparency and flexibility, the tax efficiency advantage of ETFs oftentimes gets overlooked. As we head into the last month of the year, let’s look at how investors may lower their tax liabilities by converting some positions in their portfolio to ETFs as well as discuss other ETF strategies to reduce tax burdens. Since every investment situation is different, please be sure to consult tax counsel before taking action.Like higher expenses, tax consequences can negatively impact fund performance. ETFs are more tax efficient than actively managed mutual funds. Some mutual fund managers are prone to selling position late

A lead can be defined as is a person or group of persons, who are showing some kind of interest in a product or service. The insurance market is one of the leading and attractive markets; hence, the competition has become stringent.
