Jonathan from Debt Loans presents The Pros and Cons of Consolidating Your Credit Card Debt | Debt Loans posted at Debt Loans, saying, "Although most of us don’t discuss it openly, credit card debt is one of the most important issues in our lives. The carefree lure of buying it now and paying for it layer appeals to the procastinator in all of us, but now that it’s later, it can be quite overwhelming to consider how much we actually owe. If you are at this point in your credit card relationship, then you’ve probably already heard of credit card consolidation. If you haven’t, credit card consolidation is basically bundling all of your debt into one singular debt. There are benefits to it, but there are also risks. Before you make up your mind, here’s some ideas to consider:"

Why Bother?

I’ve had a number of clients over the years who’ve asked me that question. Why should they bother to clean up their credit, what good is it to them? Well, most of us understand that our credit is what determines whether or not we can get various loans, and then what interest rate we’re offered for it."

This will become even more likely once President Obama’s CARD Act goes into effect in 2010, requiring anyone under age 21 applying for a credit card to have a cosigner if they don’t have sufficient income. Often, the person asking is a family member or friend that you may find it hard to turn down. But is the satisfaction of helping another worth the risk of destroying the credit rating you’ve worked so hard to achieve? Only you can answer that question, but there are a few things you should consider before making your decision."

Make Money with the Best Stock Investments
Surprising Winners in the Stock Market This Year

We screened stocks on the NYSE to find outstanding performers during the first six months of 2009, a period that began with general doom and gloom. There's a lesson to be learned from these winning stocks. When strong brands are oversold by pessimistic investors and trade at $1 or less, the best of them will bounce back with triple-digit gains. And small cap stocks have the advantage on the rebound. It's a lot harder for a $40 billion company to double in size than it is for a small cap $400 million company.

This Was the Best Quarter in the Stock Market

As investors jumped overboard this year, company stocks were driven into the basement. Buyers who went bottom-feeding and dumpster-diving this year found good values in the $1 stocks. A look in the rear view mirror shows us what stocks were ready to pop.

With investors anticipating that worst of the credit crisis was over, the second quarter of 2009 brought happy news in the stock markets. The S&P 500 index, representing over 70% of the total market capitalization of all stocks traded in the U.S., was up 15.2% for second quarter, its strongest quarter since 1998. The Dow rose 11% with its best quarter since 2003. And the NASDAQ Composite climbed up 20%, also its strongest quarter since 2003. The top 5 Dow stocks were Bank of America Corp, up 93%, American Express Co, up 70%, ALCOA Inc., up 40%, Microsoft Corp, up 29%, and The Walt Disney Co., up 28%.
The Top Ten Money-Making Stock Investments

On the New York Stock Exchange, the top 10 performers during the first half of 2009 were:

1. DTG Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group Inc, up 846% to $14.77
2. CAR Avis Budget Group Inc, up 468% to $5.63
3. BGP Borders Group Inc, up 457% to $3.18
4. RT Ruby Tuesday Inc up 386% to $6.96
5. VM Virgin Mobile USA Inc, up 331% to $3.41
6. COT Cott Corp up 311% to $5.63
7. OMN OMNOVA Solutions Inc up 2955 to $3.68
8. RAD Rite Aid Corp up 274% to $1.31
9. VCI Valassis Communications Inc, up 270% to $6.15
10. PIR Pier 1 Imports Inc up 246% to $1.87"

Zach Scheidt presents S&P Hits 1,000 - A Sampling of Headlines From Last Time We Saw This Level… posted at ZachStocks, saying, "The last time the S&P was above 1,000 we were in the middle of a financial crisis which continually evolved in scope and magnitude. The question now is whether we can put the concerns behind us or whether this rally is simply a trap in a larger bear market."

Master Your Card presents For Love Or Money? | Master Your Card posted at Master Your Card, saying, "I’ve been in a bit of a Jane Austen reading mode lately, mostly Pride and Prejudice as it’s one of my favorites. But, in reading the books and watching the films, it struck me that we’ve come a long way in terms of marriage. In Austen’s time, marriage was simply a business arrangement. People married for money and the family connections it provided, very often foregoing any sort of affection for one another. The result was infidelity."

Master Your Card presents Credit Card Reward Programs: How To Make The Most Of Them posted at Master Your Card, saying, "Being rewarded for using a credit card sounds like a dream come true, but you have to be savvy to avoid being taken for a ride by the credit card companies.

How They Work

These programs are intended to encourage you to spend money on your credit card. The basic idea is that you receive either points or cash for making purchases on your credit card. They can afford to do this based on the interest that they charge customers for credit card balances and the transaction fees that they charge to retailers. As they receive a transaction fee every time your credit card is used, it’s little wonder that credit card companies are so keen for you to use it as frequently as possible."
