At least, until it hits us right at home.When...more
I'm sure you've heard of Penny Stock Prophet already but just in case this is how this article is structured: I'll give you a quick overview of the newsletter and then we'll talk results... sound like a sweet deal?Mmkay so the concept of Penny Stock Prophet is really, really simple. You get an email that quickly talks about recent picks and the results of those picks. Then right below those few paragraphs you'll get today's pick along with the appropriate buy and sell points and some info about the stock...Buy point = the price point at which you should buy the stock. For example if it says buy at $0.65 and under... you would do exactly that. The lower the price you buy at, the better (I'm sure you didn't me to tell you that, hah).Sell point = the price point at which you should sell the stock.

Most of us today seem to have quite a fear of getting dirty and as a result we pay enormous sums in automotive repair costs. A good example is replacing your brakes. It takes a few tools and about an hour to change out the brake pads and rotors of most newer cars. Brake pads and rotors for a Subaru Tribeca will average about $150. A recent advertisement at a local repair shop was offering a "special deal" and would replace the front brakes "on your car" for $350, a savings of $200 just for doing it yourself. In today's shrinking economy and budgets many of us are forgoing this important maintenance item until we have our annual vehicle inspections, risking our lives and the lives of others because we can't afford to pay the rates of auto professionals. We are doing so, for a job that just isn't that difficult. If you have any mechanical ability at all, role up your sleeves, dive in and get a little dirty.This job usually takes a few tools. A socket set, a lug wrench, a jack to lift the car, a jack stand to rest the car on while you remove the tire and brakes, a large C clamp, a piece of wire (an old coat hanger works well) and a pair of pliers are usually all you need....more
