Oil Keeps Sliding: Down 9% In 5 Days
Oil prices extended their slide Tuesday, shedding 1% amid renewed concerns about Europe and the global economy.
Prices for U.S. crude have declined nearly 9% over the past five days, settling at $97.01 a barrel Tuesday. Oil prices have slipped about 6% from the start of the year.
Much of the recent decline stems from concerns about the U.S. economy and easing worries about a confrontation with Iran. But the downward momentum was further propelled by the European elections this past weekend.
In Greece, a potential political stalemate looms after Greece’s main center-right party failed to form a coalition government. With voters signaling their opposition to the austerity measures imposed as part of the country’s international bailout, it appears more likely that Greece could exit the eurozone and trigger further instability in Europe’s periphery.
In France, the election of austerity-skeptic Francois Hollande has led to questions about Europe’s policy coordination moving forward.
“Investors want clarity, and certainly there’s very little to be had,” said James Cordier, president of Liberty Trading Group. Read more…
The Value of 800 Numbers
For new businesses and old businesses alike, there is nothing more
important than your customers having the ability to contact you.
Whether or not your business is based around customer service, having
the means for them to reach a representative quickly and efficiently
is crucial. One of the best ways to show that your business is really
committed to providing excellent care for your customers is through
the use of 0800 numbers. If you aren’t familiar with what a 0800
number is, you might also know it as an 800 or a toll free number.
Basically it is a number that can be called for free, no matter where
you are calling from.
You might think that in this new age of cell phones with plans that
almost never charge people for long distance that providing a toll
free number is unnecessary.
Collection Agency is Sending Me an Intent to Sue Letter
Q. Hello, Ive really appreciated all the great advice you have posted on your site. I received a notification of intent to sue from an attorney representing a collection company (Altitude Funding Associates). I was going to respond to the notification with a debt validation letter, however the upon closer inspection of the letter from the attorney, there was no date!
Just wanted to get your thoughts. Altitude has an F rating from the BBB. So the undated letter has to be some kind of tactic. Have you seen this before? Is this a violation? Should I respond that a letter was sent but due to the fact there was no date, he needs to send another and start the 30 day process over again? Or just send a debt validation letter? The attorney is in Los Angeles and I am in San Francisco. Thanks!!
A. An intent to sue letter is merely a threat to take legal action if certain actions are not taken.
Age and happiness: Pay, peers and pride
It all went downhill for me at 46
KNOWING that you are paid less than your peers has two effects on happiness. The well-known one is negative: a thinner pay packet harms self-esteem. The lesser-known one is called the “tunnel” effect: high incomes for peers are seen as improving your own chances of similar riches, especially if growth, inequality and mobility are high.
A paper co-authored by Felix FitzRoy of the University of St Andrews and presented this week at the Royal Economic Society in Cambridge separates the two effects using data from household surveys in Germany. Previous work showed that the income of others can have a small, or even positive, overall effect on people’s satisfaction in individual firms in Denmark or in very dynamic economies in transition, such as post-communist eastern Europe.
