Using the Internet to Fix Your Computer

January - 15 - 2010 Author: admin Respond

Earlier this week I was hit with a computer problem. My laptop lost it’s sound out of both the speakers and when using the headphones. I tried everything I could think of and could not get it fixed. What do you when something like this happens? Many people I know will simply just take their computer into a shop to have it looked and fixed probably paying $100. These days who has money like that to throw around? Nobody.

I simply sat for about an hour and googled and googled looking for solutions to my problem. I found lots of things that didn’t work but finally I found the solution to my problem. I just had to plug my HDMI cable in and out a few times and reboot. Easy. Saved me the hassle and money of taking it into a shop to be fixed.

It doesn’t matter what you have happening to your computer or laptop. The solution is on line somewhere, you just have to spend the time to search it out. It goes beyond just fixing.

PIIGS hurt EUR

January - 14 - 2010 Author: admin Respond

Are we missing the big picture? How come markets seem to be trading as if the global risks to economic recovery have been dealt with? Our savior, China is even taking steps to slow things down by hiking Bill rates and increasing reserve requirements. Europe is a mess. A dovish Trichet yesterday said that Greece would not receive any special treatment. German Chancellor Merkel said Greece’s deficit ‘may hurt the EUR’. In reality, the ‘PIIGS’ (Portugal, Ireland, Italy Greece and Spain) fiasco collectively is getting worse. It’s a situation not contained, not unlike the sub-prime debacle. In the US, many states face ‘a severe financial crisis’. Back in reality, we could see Asian stocks plummet, ECB lose total control and US State budgets suffocate any kind of recovery. Have the ostrich syndrome trading strategies taken this into account?

The US$ is stronger in the O/N trading session. Currently it is

How To Manage Your Credit In The New Year

January - 14 - 2010 Author: admin 1 Response

One of the keys to managing your finances effectively is keeping your debt to a minimum, or at least reducing the debt you already have.  Most consumers find it challenging to live a completely debt free existence (ever tried to buy a house without  a mortgage?), but carrying high interest credit card debt makes reaching financial goals impossible.

With every new year  comes the chance for a new start and to regain control of your financial situation. The economy, while showing signs of recovery, is still struggling. And upcoming government changes to credit card rules may change the way you manage your credit.  Many tried-and-true debt-avoidance strategies, like utilizing 0% balance transfer offers to postpone the inevitable, may not be available for long. Here’s what you can do to manage your credit in the new year with the new credit card rules.

Always Pay Your Credit Card In Full On Time

As you may have already noticed, credit card companies are increasing their fees before the new rules take place in February. This

Little Grey Men Helped Reverse My Interest Charge

January - 14 - 2010 Author: admin Respond

Obviously you have to pay your credit card off each month or you will suffer an intrest charge which is going to kill your bank book and plunge you farther into debt. Well, I missed a paymet by a couple of days over the holidays. I payed my card off in full as I said a couple of days past the deadline.

Today I got my bill and was tagged for a $30 interest charge. I called to find out why when I had payed it off in full a couple of days later. Here is how the conversation went:

Credit Card Girl: Why were you late?
Me: Why did I get out of bed today, I have no idea.
Credit Card Girl: You don’t know why you missed a payment?
Me: It was in December, I don’t recall how I got home Saturday night let alone what happend in December. You know what, cancel the card.
Credit Card Girl: Well sir, I am just trying to find out why you missed your payment.
Me: Little Grey men showed up in a ship and took me to their home planet and they didn’t have an ATM.
