How Your Credit Card Can Save You When You Least Expect It

February 17th, 2012 Paul Smith

This is a guest post from Ally who works and writes for homeloanfinder.com.au, a free home loan service in Australia.

With all the negative press that credit cards have been getting, people have tried their best to stay away from it as much as they can. But getting a credit card is one of the most important things you can do for a good financial health. It plays a vital role in shaping your financial condition which can help you extensively in the future.

Your credit card is the foundation in which you will establish a good credit record. This is especially essential since having none is just as good as having a bad credit. Financial organizations consider people with no credit history as a risk because they have no basis on how capable you are in managing your finances. In other words, an unknown credit risk is a liability and will be charged higher in comparison to those with credit history. With a credit card, it allows you to build a reputation and give you a chance to prove that you are responsible with credits.

The Simple Dollar Weekly Roundup: Politics Edition

February 16th, 2012 Kevin Martinez

You would think, with the Iowa caucus ending a month and a half ago, that the automated political calls would stop for our family.

Youd be wrong.

Im still getting calls from candidates I dont support asking me to donate to them. Im getting weird calls from all sorts of action groups wanting me to support their missions, most of which I dont agree with.

Mozilla Firefox 3.6 : Gmail, Google Docs connection reset problem

February 14th, 2012 Paul Smith

Just filed a support issue over at Mozilla for this problem I encountered over the past few days.

Ran into this problem in Firefox 3.6, both 3.6.2 and 3.6.3, and across multiple machines – when trying to access Gmail, Google Docs via HTTS/SSL a “connection was reset” error is encountered. Network/connectivity issues can likely be ruled out since these services work under Internet Explorer and Google Chrome on the same machines.

A few further notes regarding this issue :

- HTTPS works on other sites but not on Google sites – I’ve cleared cache, cookies, etc. to no avail – ditto with deleting profiles.ini to create a new default profile – status bar flashes “waiting for www.google.com” ~10 times – both Firefox 3.6.2 and 3.6.3 are affected – going back to Firefox 3.5.9 works, as do IE & Chrome

From observing the status bar and chatter elsewhere, it could be some kind of redirect issue. I’ve got one laptop on Firefox 3.6.3 and another on Firefox 3.6.2 and both have had the same problem. The odd thing was, they were both working up until the middle of last week.

Deutsche Suspends Creations On 7 ETNs

February 10th, 2012 Travis Brown

Deutsche Bank, the sponsor behind PowerShares DB exchange-traded products, is suspending creations, effective immediately, on seven futures-based commodity ETNs in that product family that together have more than $40 million in assets—in part to stay ahead of potential problems related to changing position-limit regulations.

The move, which won’t stop trading or redemptions, means the ETNs may start trading like closed-end funds. In other words, they may trade at premiums or discounts to net asset value since they will now have a finite number of shares.

In a press release issued by Deutsche’s New York-based U.S. headquarters, the company said the affected ETNs include:

  • PowerShares DB Commodity Double Short ETN (NYSE Arca: DEE), which has $2.5 million in assets
  • PowerShares DB Commodity Double Long ETN (NYSEArca: DYY, which has $11.8 million
  • PowerShares DB Commodity Short ETN (NYSEArca: DDP), which has assets of 5.7 million
  • PowerShares DB Commodity Long ETN (NYSEArca: DPU), $6 million
  • PowerShares DB Agriculture Double Short ETN (NYSEArca: AGA), $6.5 million
  • PowerShares DB Agriculture Short ETN (NYSEArca: ADZ), $1.9 million
  • PowerShares DB Agriculture Long ETN (NYSEArca: AGF), $11.1 million

 

The halting of creations echoes what the company did a year ago with its PowerShares DB Agriculture Double Long ETN (NYSEArca: DAG). At the

Markets slide on disappointment with EU summit results

February 8th, 2012 Paul Smith

The European Union was once again the focus of investor sentiment on Monday, with worries that leaders attending a summit in Brussels would fail to reach a deal on Greek debt dragging down markets.

In Toronto, the benchmark S&P/TSX composite index dropped 30.08 points, or 0.24%, to 12,436.42. The 10 sub-indexes were equally split, with materials (down 1.08%) leading the decliners.

“Traders appear to have completely forgotten about the improving economic situation, particularly in the U.S. and have gone back to dwelling on the European debt crisis,” analyst Colin Cieszynski of CMC Markets said in an afternoon note. Pointing out the impact “political posturing” was having on trading, Mr. Cieszynski said, “(Monday’s) theme has been questions over how much sovereignty are countries willing to give up to be part of the eurozone?”

German Chancellor Angela Merkel started the market slide Monday when she said that the aid program for Greece wouldn’t be finalized before the end of the summit because talks with banks were continuing, though French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he expected an accord within the next few days.

“This summit is destined to fail because they are talking about the wrong things,” Carl Weinberg, chief economist and founder of High Frequency Economics, told Bloomberg. “They’re talking ab
