All too often when we are negotiating both in real life and in business, demands and deadlines show up. Since most of us have never been trained on how to deal with these issues, we tend to do the easiest thing: panic. May I suggest a different approach: ignore them.Unless you are actively involved in a hostage negotiation, you probably won't be handed a list of demands. Instead, they will show up in more subtle ways. Casual statements like "This...more

It all began 3 years or so ago when my insurance and finance company offered me 16 free trades with their brokerage.It sounded like fun, although I knew absolutely nothing about the stock market, didn't even really know what a stock market was. So I took the bait, sent them $500, and I was a "trader". And I made sure everyone knew it, too. I researched companies to death, requested info packages in the mail, called public relation departments, all to purchase 5 or 10 shares of their stock. Great fun. Then I began reading books about investors. Warren Buffet, Peter Lynch ect. ect. and I was hooked. The 16 trades lasted me about 2 months and when it was over, I was almost $100 richer. Sweet. Just playing around, easy money! So they write me an e-mail telling me my free trades are up and from now and forward, that will be $20 a trade please. I'm not a genius mind you, but even that math didn't add up to me. That next $100 will cost me $320 leaving me with a $220 deficit. Nope, I'll have none of that. Way to smart to fall for their scheme. Now I'm looking around the Internet about stocks and trading. Good God, there is a whole universe out there. A whole nother world. Brokers and blogs...more
