I hope someone can help me. I was pre-approved for a mortgage-money is not the issue. Once the bank found out it was a cottage, the antics began. Its a 20 minute 4x4 drive from a seasonally maintained road. Pristine lake with only 3 owners on it. We plan on keeping it locked down. Cement block...

Interesting video talking about the current financial situation.

Not one politician over here has answered the question "Why are the Irish people being sacrificed to bail out private banks". Not one word. Ireland is on the brink of a chasm of which there is no return, sold out by people who wont even answer why its being done. Eternal debt and rule by the...

8 billion in losses for one year, increased productivity, 75million man hours cut and still so inflated and inefficient in managing money. Bankrupt in one year without help. The same help we give airlines, banks, insurance companies, car manufacturers and small countries. There has to be a...

When one has investments (as in CD, IRA, mutual funds, etc), saving accounts, checking accounts and the financial/banking system is about to collapse... When would it be the time to get these out for your survival? is it even safe to get this money out or is it better not to touch it? I have...

Hey guys, I ran across some info that came from what I believe to be a fairly reliable source. They said that in like 20 something more days, the FDIC was going to shut down several banks. I don't know if they can do that or not. I heard this from an Arkansas banker and don't know if it is only...
