&gt;Is it illegal to support the president of the United States? You act like people aren't allowed to have differing opinions from you.  A whole heap of people who think we should let bygones be bygones and unite behind our Orange Overlord seem to be the same people who wouldn't be caught dead supporting the president during Obama's terms. Basically every GOP member of Congress and their entire voting base. So where was the call for unity and civility from 2008-2016.
"I think you're right that these sites look so unprofessional that they aren't likely to be legitimate. However, even a very legitimate-looking site might be a fake designed to separate you from your money.  There is an entire underground industry devoted to this kind of fakery and some of them are adept at what they do.  So how can you tell? One place that you can consult is FINRA's BrokerCheck online service.  This might be the first of many checks you should undertake. Who is FINRA, you might ask?  ""The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the largest independent regulator for all securities firms doing business in the United States."" See here. My unprofessional guess is, even if a firm's line of business is to broker deals in private company shares, that if they're located in the U.S. or else dealing in U.S. securities then they'd still need to be registered with FINRA – note the ""all securities firms"" above. I was able to search BrokerCheck and find SecondMarket (the firm @duffbeer703 mentioned) listed as ""Active"" in the FINRA database. The entry also provides some information about the firm.  For instance, SecondMarket appears to also be registered with the S.E.C.. You should also note that SecondMarket links back to these authorities (refer to the footer of their site): ""Member FINRA | MSRB | SIPC.  Registered with the SEC as an alternative trading system for trading in private company shares.  SEC 606 Info [...]"" Any legitimate broker would want you to look them up with the authorities if you're unsure about their legitimacy. However, to undertake any such kind of deal, I'd still suggest more due diligence.  An accredited investor with serious money to invest ought to, if they are not already experts themselves on these things, hire a professional who is expert to provide counsel, help navigate the system, and avoid the frauds."
The impact of the melting Arctic may have a calamitous effect on the planet. It is likely to disrupt oceanic circulation—the mixing of warm tropical and cold polar waters, of which the Gulf Stream is a part—and thawing permafrost will lead to the emission of masses of carbon dioxide and methane, and thus further warming. It is also raising sea levels. The Greenland ice sheet has recently shed around 200 gigatonnes of ice a year, a fourfold increase on a decade ago. If the warming continues, it could eventually disintegrate, raising the sea level by seven metres. Many of the world’s biggest cities would be inundated long before that happened. Some scientists argue that the perils are so immediate that mankind should consider geoengineering the atmosphere to avert them (see article). They may turn out to be right, but there could be enormous risks involved. A slower but safer approach would be to price greenhouse-gas emissions, preferably through a carbon tax, which would encourage the adoption of cleaner technologies (see article). That shift would be costly, but the costs of inaction are likely to be larger. In the end, the world is likely to get a grip on global warming. The survival instinct demands it. But it is likely to lose a lot of the unique Arctic first. That would be a terrible pity. http://www.economist.com/node/21556921?scode=3d26b0b17065c2cf29c06c010184c684 Roald Audun Flo

Are you referencing the stupidity of average tv subscribers?   It seems like TV could face serious problems with regards to ad revenue without a serious drop in the subscriber base. DVR and the internet seem to pose a big threat to the status quo.  Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought advertising was a huge proportion of tv profits.

And when Esma published its paper, the UK industry smelled a rat. Not only is the regulator Paris-based, but the “convergence” agenda, under which the opinion paper was published, is the responsibility of Sophie Vuarlot-Dignac, a seasoned French regulator. &gt; The wording in the delegation section of the document has alarmed some fund managers. “Delegation to non-EU entities could make oversight and supervision of the delegated functions more difficult . . . National competent authorities should therefore give special consideration to such delegation arrangements and be satisfied that their implementation is justified based on objective reasons despite the additional risks which may arise from them.” &gt; In plain language, that could mean at the very least that more risk management functions need to be put on the ground where a fund is registered, or at most that no fund management functions can be delegated outside the EU. &gt; Taken to its logical extreme, this would not only be very disruptive for the asset management industry and the current hubs in the UK, the US and Asia where most of the best fund managers are based, but there would in likelihood be a second-order magnetic effect on the investment banks, whose traders and salespeople would need to follow their fund manager clients to parts of mainland Europe. If that happened, those apparently doom-mongering post-Brexit job-move predictions might start to look conservative. &gt; According to Efama, the European fund management association, total assets under management in Europe last year were €22.8tn, equivalent to almost a third of the global total. More than 4,000 asset management groups are registered in Europe directly employing 100,000 people, nearly 40 per cent of them in the UK. Across the EU, close to half a million people are in jobs that service the asset management industry. &gt; All of the above is a worst-case interpretation of a non-binding document. Eyes are now turning to the European Commission, which is due next January to review the AIFMD, a directive that covers “alternative” asset managers such as hedge funds. &gt; It may also review the directive on Ucits — the rules on mutual funds based in the EU.
If the intention is after maturing to convert back the Rupees into Euro, its not a good idea.  Generally the interest rate in Euro and the interest rate in Rupee are offset by the predicted exchange rate. i.e. the Rupee will fall compared to Euro by similar rate. The point at Step 5 is generally what is expected to happen. At times this can be less or more depending on the local / global factors. So on average you will not make money, some times you will loose and sometimes you will gain. Plus I have shown flat conversion rates, typically there is a Buy Rate and a Sell Rate for a pair of currencies. There is a difference / spread that is the margins of Bank. Typically in the range of 2 to 4% depending on the currency pairs.

So let me get this straight... anti-tax warriors who argue from a right-wing libertarian stance that financial liberty is the most important form of liberty want to hold the taxpayers hostage to force the bloated federal government to fund a wall on the southern border of the United States that comprises the territory of multiple state governments, without allowing for those state governments and their citizens the liberty to decide for themselves, nor advocating for private capitalist interests to fund the wall out of their own pockets via private land ownership along the border, which is the hallmark of their entire economic theory?
Given the ~25 year horizon for the end of oil, I fail to see how these actions will do anything but line the pockets of politicians, bureaucrats, and their friends.  We will run out of oil before we make a serious reduction in CO2 emissions.
"&gt; would anyone have viewed the success of the iPhone differently if its launch was delayed by a few months?  OK, Mr. Financial 'journalist', why don't you look up Mr/Ms ""Depositor #455,000"" and catch their reaction when they find out when they can expect their Model 3? How many tail-end Charlies are going to wait that out?  Not to mention what ""tail-end"" will end up paying; the [current](http://insideevs.com/when-will-the-7500-us-credit-expire-for-the-tesla-model-3-and-everyone-else/) phase-out schedule for that $7500 tax-credit puts it to our recent 'depositor', *hard*. At the Model 3 price point, this is going to make the car about 20% less 'affordable for most of those in line.  With almost 10% back-outs already, another few 'below-expectations' quarters will provoke some serious pitchfork waving."
From what I can tell, the book talks about the current economic crisis is going to lead to a burst in the dollar market and government debt market. And how the current financial policies and the financial policies enacted by the previous administration, Ben Bernanke, and Alan Greenspan are going to lead to hyperinflation, devaluation of the dollar, and a massive spike in the national debt. And then it is supposed to provide financial strategies and ideas to weather the storm. That's all I can gather without buying the book.

"A lot of your questions are probably best directed towards your payroll department, who have no doubt done this sort of thing before.  But I can answer about the cross-border banking question.  Of the ""Big Five"" Canadian banks, the one with the largest presence in the U.S. is almost certainly TD.  (""TD"" stands for ""Toronto Dominion"", after all.)  TD Canada Trust, the Canadian version of the bank, seems to offer a range of services for cross-border banking.  I would recommend calling the Canadian bank and asking what they can do for you.  Trying to get things set up from the U.S. side is likely to lead to frustration;  Canadians needing to do financial stuff in the U.S. is much, much more common than Americans needing to do financial stuff in Canada, and the bank staff on each side of the border will probably be proportionately helpful."
Since 2007 the world has seen a period of striking economic and financial volatility featuring the deepest recession since the 1930s despite this gold has performed strongly with its price roughly doubling since the global financial crisis began in mid-2007. 1. Gold and real interest rates: One of the factor that influences gold prices is real interest rate which is to some extent related to inflation. Since gold lacks a yield of its own, the opportunity cost of holding gold increases with a real interest rate increase and decreases with a fall in real interest rates. 2. Gold and the US dollar: The external value of the US dollar has been a significant influence on short-term gold price movements. The IMF estimated6 in 2008 that 40-50% of the moves in the gold price   since 2002 were dollar-related, with a 1% change in the effective   external value of the dollar leading to a more than 1% change in the   gold price (Source).  3. Gold and financial stress: It is a significant and commonly observed influence on the short-term price of gold. In periods of financial stress gold demand may rise for a number of   reasons:  4. Gold and political instability: It is another factor that can boost gold prices. Investor concerns about wars, civil conflicts and international   tensions can boost demand for gold for similar reasons to those noted   above for periods of financial stress. Gold‟s potential function as a   „currency of last resort‟ in case of serious system collapse provides   a particular incentive to hold it in case the political situation is   especially severe. (Source) 5. Gold and official sector activity: The behaviour of central banks and other parts of the official sector can have an important impact on gold prices.  One reason for this is that central banks are big holders of gold,   possessing some 30,500 metric tons in 2010, which is approximately 15%   of all above-ground gold stocks. As a result, central bank policies on   gold sales and purchases can have significant effects, and these   policies have been subject to considerable shifts over the decades.

So, my questions: Are payment cards provide sufficient security now? Yes. If so, how is that achieved? Depending on your country's laws, of course. In most places (The US and EU, notably), there's a statutory limit on liability for fraudulent charges. For transactions when the card is not present, proving that the charge is not fraudulent is merchants' task. Why do online services ask for all those CVV codes and expiration date   information, if, whenever you poke the card out of your wallet, all of   its information becomes visible to everyone in the close area? What   can I do to secure myself? Is it? Try to copy someones credit card info next time you're in the line at the local grocery store. BTW, some of my friends tend to rub off the CVV code from the cards   they get immediately after receiving; nevertheless, it could have   already been written down by some unfair bank employee. Rubbish.
Its also going to allow for Russian businesses to grow in to fill certain spaces left vacant by the NATO commerce which could make up for the hit they will take from The US EU sanctions. Hes protecting the economy at the cost of a little comfort.
ok as it goes here on reddit and across the world, thanks for offering a host of reasons as to why, what worked in the past wouldnt work again. It is easy to knock what worked in past, note the victorians, the US 1930's-1970's.  So Now why dont you offer a viable alternative.  let me just say a couple of things you while your thinking about it.  Without the middle class, there is no real working class (only slaves), without disposable income in the hands of the masses there is no market, thus no production, thus no more profit for the 1%.(and only slaves, slaves have no money they cannot buy the production, a slave is a working man without disposable income)  The Rich are not producing, they are hording. The middle class are been screwed totally. Many small business'are folding due to the extreme lack of funding as ll the funds are held in speculations. this has all happened many times before in the history of man and money you should know that.  Temporary jobs lead to the creation of more jobs, which lead to the creation of more jobs, disposable income leads to more jobs.   And just in case you have not noticed, we have mass unemployment unlike ever in the history of mankind, and it is not looking to get any better.
This would be my suggestion: I would approach the problem thinking about the loss of monthly income you (as a couple) will be facing due to your wife's change to a part time job and divide that loss between the two of you. This means that if she goes from 2200 to 1100 monthly, you'd be losing 1100 per month.  To share this loss, you could repay your wife your part of the loss (550) so both of you are 550 euro down. However, this 550 loss is a bigger burden for your wife than it is for you, so this amount could be adjusted to make up for this inequality.  To make calculations simple and avoid developing a complicated model, you could give the 800 euro above your 3k to your wife for as long as she has to work part time.
The sting here is definitely in the tail, the PS that says We are starting to call you from the same day when we get your details. The initial email doesn't ask for details, it asks for commitment. Once committed, you will be more relaxed about providing details. This makes me think that this is more serious than a simple financial scam. This is an effort to steal your identity, and that could be much more serious than the one-off loss of a few thousand dollars. Here's why: 1. The scammer could get numerous credit cards and store cards in your name, run up thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in charges, and leave you stuck with explaining what happened. I know someone who went from being a multi-millionaire to a pauper in a few months when his identity was stolen - and he is no fool. 2. It will take you years to clear your name. Meanwhile, your credit is shot, and you might have trouble getting a job, renting an apartment, or simply getting a cellphone contract. 3. Once you've repaired your credit, the scammer can just go through his old files and do it all over again. 4. Cloaked in your identity, and therefore being seen as you, the scammer can pull any number of scams, for which you will eventually be blamed. Then as well as dealing with credit bureaus, you will be dealing with another, more serious bureau: the FBI.
I've been eagerly waiting for new global business models in the TV business. I hate it when they cancel a show due to low amount of viewers in the States, while there are a few billion people outside the States ready to pay for the show.   I'd happily pay that 1€ per episode and if even some percents of the rest of the world are willing to do the same, the creators of the series earn much more than with any ad based revenue model.
This is just terrible. Could you imagine owning a business in Michigan, and now you have to pay more than DOUBLE what you accrued for FUTA, and by the end of January, no less.   The states default, so the businesses have to pick up the slack.
"&gt;It's secret so that it can't be torpedoed by politics while in the negotiation process.  That argument is dissected quite well in this article about ISDS.:  [Commission ISDS reform plan is an echo chamber of business views](http://corporateeurope.org/international-trade/2014/07/commission-isds-reform-plan-echo-chamber-business-views)  These deals are NOT about trade, they are about the big corporate donors getting things - lots of bad things- which they could never get in legislation. A laundry list of very bad deals for the people of all these countries all rolled into one.   The previous trade negotiator admitted that they were secret because there are lots of things in there which the American people would not want.   For example, all three of the ""agreements"" contain provisions that effectively make real single payer health care impossible. That will limit state efforts to ones that lose lots of money.     They try to freeze all ew chemical and environmental regulations, overruling state laws and chemical disclosure food safety, and labeling requirements. They try to continue to deregulate banks and fiancial instruments, increasing the risks not just of disasters - also of disasters that the US taxpayer will be asked to pay for.   I'm now hearing something about new traps which will send much of the whelling and dealing to London, however they could still put the US taxpayer on the hook for their huge losses - of EU banks, similar to the Cyprus and the EU situation.
