I’ve read investing books such as One Up on Wall Street, Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits, in the process of reading The Intelligent Investor, and other books. Are there any superior books dealing with finding great companies to invest in?

I am planning to write a letter of financial support and i was wondering how would you guys start one, im not stealing ideas im just helping mine so im not going to be copying any one. but any one have an idea on how you would start it off like do you jump straight into why you need financial help or would you explain personal things about yourself such as what school you attend or…? any thing is helpful and if you have any tips for a letter that would be helpful. thank you.

This article is very interesting and full of information. Of course Obamabots will slam it but there is a lot of info that is irrefutable.
Such as :

‘You’ve got only a couple thousand bucks in the bank. Your job pays you dog-food wages. Your credit history has been bent, stapled, and mutilated. You declared bankruptcy in 1989. Don’t despair: You can still buy a house.” So began an April 1995 article in the Chicago Sun-Times that went on to direct prospective home-buyers fitting this profile to a group of far-left “community organizers” called ACORN, for assistance. In retrospect, of course, encouraging customers like this to buy homes seems little short of madness.

AND

Finally, in June of 1995, President Clinton, Vice President Gore, and Secretary Cisneros announced the administration’s comprehensive new strategy for raising home-ownership in America to an all-time high. Representatives from ACORN were guests of honor at the ceremony. In his remarks, Clinton emphasized that: “Out homeownership strategy will not cost the taxpayers one extra cent. It will not require legislation.” Clinton meant that informal partnerships between Fannie and Freddie and groups like ACORN would make mortgages available to customers “who have historically been excluded from homeownership.”

In between April and October of 1917, the US government issued the first run of the Emergency Loan Act Liberty Bonds to help finance America’s involvement in World War 1. I do not know all of the denominations these bonds came in, but I need to know the range of value they would have accumulated in interest within 33 years. An estimate will do, but an exact number would be even better

With detail, if possible.

Prosecutors say they would retry Palin hacking defendant on ID theft if man is granted retrial
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Prosecutors say a Tennessee man convicted of two federal charges in the hacking of Sarah Palin’s e-mail account would be retried on an identity theft charge that left a jury deadlocked only if the defense is granted a retrial.

Why or why not?

I’m starting to do my homework in anticipation of interviewing a few financial planners. I know there are lots of important questions, but if you could only ask three question, what would they be?

I was just wondering if anyone thinks the way I do about this: should there be a credit bureau that is separate from Equifax? I think that there should be a separate bureau, because a lot of people have bad credit these days and they have a hard time finding a decent place to rent because all landlord’s who do a credit check use Equifax. These people in many cases always pay their rent, and can prove it with receipts and references. A lot of things can go awry in ones life and can cause people financial difficulty, sometimes making it impossible to pay debts for long periods of time. I think that the only thing landlord’s should be concerned about is whether a prospective tenant will pay rent. If that person can prove they have paid rent for a year or five years for example, than other unpaid debts shouldn’t matter. It’s like the landlord is saying that just because you can’t pay your car loan, that you wouldn’t be able to pay rent either and you can’t be trusted to do so. Even though you can prove that you have never missed a rent payment, and have always paid on time for the last 10 or 20 years (if you have that many receipts). I think that some kind of new credit bureau needs to be created so that prospective renters can finally be accepted based on proper criteria: enough income to pay rent, proof of paying rent in the past for a period of time and landlord’s references, and no history of causing damage other than damage caused by regular “wear and tear.” Landlord’s should have to obtain a report from a rental credit bureau, which could provide a renter’s profile of a person’s rental history (providing relevant information), and that should be enough.

Anyway, what do you think? Please be kind in your words. I realize you may agree or disagree, and since I’m posting on Yahoo Answers I’m looking for both “for” and “against” arguments about this.
For the record, I am not arguing for anyone who owes debt, to not pay it. It is the right thing to pay debts as soon as possible (best to pay in the time period alloted). My point is really that debts like loans, credit cards and other such things in my opinion is not proof that a person who owes money like that, would/or does not pay rent and should be denied/rejected. If a person can prove without a doubt that they are a good tenant and always pays rent, they should be able to rent anywhere they wish as long as their income is sufficient to pay rent. A lot of people can pay rent because their income is high enough, but they can’t pay their other debts after rent and food, etc.

That is all. Thanks to anyone who comments in a positive mannor!

I have a credit card debt of about $9,600.00 with a major credit card provider. They are charging me 24.99% interest. The minimum payment is around $300.00 and $200.00 of this is interest. What would be the best thing to do? Should I use a debt management program to pay it off or stop paying it all together and let it go to a collection agency where I could then settle with them and ask that when I settle that they remove the negative information from my credit report?
