If you must liquidate, don't forget to roll it over to a deep discount broker. Depending on the assets, the savings could mean a lot more money.

Here is one they don't tell you a lot. The Y intercept, which is A, is sometimes considered Fixed Cost. The R squared evaluates % variance that the IV accounts for the DV, so model 2 is a better fit....

Not comprehensive, but here are some quick reasons often cited on M&A press releases for a company I provide services for.

2. Exchange rates (example, a lot of great consulting...

If you need the notation explained, just let me know. Some people need a process map instead of a formula.

Do you need to show how you have done it by hand, or do you want an Excel solution?

The good news is, if you have to do it by hand, the Standard Deviation is simply the square root of the...

I would strongly suggest you look up the term "constructive dismissal". It is common for very very large companies to offer a severance package as an option to taking such a severe cut.

The term...

I will not coment about ADHD because it is considered a medical condition and I am not a doctor, but I will comment on how keeping the medical documentation can work in your favor quite a bit.

Okay,

Here is one last approach. Each bank, by regulations, has an anti money laundering czar. A big buzzword in banking is "know your customer".

The fact that they can not find numerous...

Hi,

We do have the condo. I think the tunnels are a great idea. I pick some up this weekend.

Hi, I have experience in the financial services industry and I am somewhat amazed that in this day and age, they can not apply paymets to closed accounts. If you have a credit card and closed your...

If you have the time, go for it.

AW805 suggests starting at the top. Where is the top? We used to have money in the bank before GW's tax cuts and false pretenses of national security had to be financed. The US government really...

Do cats crave socialization? Do they feel alone when they are at home all day? What is the best thing I can do for my cat other than the occasional play date? We have a cat that has to be kept...

Convert the denominators to a common one, like 12. To change 1/4 to 3/12 multiply this fraction by 3 on top and bottom. To change 1/3 , multiply top and bottom by 4, which would be 4/12. Now , for...

At the very least, him dating another person will constitute "living seperate lives". I am not sure if your question is concerned with morality or legality. If it is concerned with morality, I will...

Some in the media are absolutely incorrect when they claim illegals are not giving to the system. Some posts simply reflect the fact that the average American does not have a basic understanding of...

I am very sorry for your situation. Bad checks may only be the beginning. I know a family that gave their son money to buy antibiotics for an aggressive infection. He spent it on meth. Months later,...

Would it mean anything to you if you knew that many scholars assert that the word "hell" means "grave"? Would you begin to face your creator out of love and admiration instead of trembling in the...

If they get a garnishment, here is a rough outline of the process. I used to process these claims for a bank about 10 years ago. In those days, if the bank can get a three point match on SS#,...

I actually have some experience with this question, oddly enough. Someone had a $5 radio and headphones stolen from a gym and the guy "just knew it was me" and told other members. He got a letter...

What version of quicktime do you have? What is the file format of the movie? Do you know what codecs you have on your Mac? Have you downloaded all the codecs you can?

What stat package are you using?

Some jurisdictions require a separation period before divorce. Some jurisdictions will allow you to claim that you were "living seperate lives" for a certain amount of time, but you both have testify...

What bluerose says is THE most important thing to keep in mind.

I am a big fan of Thich Nhat Hanh, a prominent figure in today's Buddhism. He has written a book you can find on various book...

Dear Poster,

There are several opinions about whether Christianity will tolerate Buddhism.
What is most personally influential in the Christian debate usually boils down to the opinions of...

Final post.

Stop playing the victim and playing hurt like a child. If me being blunt with you will keep you from spreading more negative propaganda on Buddhism, then I am all for it.

Some of...

Many apologies if my post caused any of you consternation, but it was meant to. The post was addressed to all of you, not just the person who asked the question. Reading this series of posts is like...

Please people, at least look up Buddhism before you comment on it from a seat of authority. We, myself included, do not worship the Buddha. The Buddha is already inside of us. If we bow to an image...

You are absolutely incorrect when you claim they are not giving to the system. Your post simply reflects the fact that you have no basic understanding of economics. If a business spends millions in...

Hi, my wife is in to horse movies. She thinks you may be talking about a series from Australia. She is looking for it right now. IF we have any luck we will get back with you.

You are not a failure, but you are a very busy person. The assumptions about students that do well in school are that they are supported, well rested, and have time to study. I have seen remarkable...

I am not a doctor, but I have family experience with this. You must first get biochemically stable, even if that means hospitalization. People who hear voices often feel persecuted and have anxiety...

Use the method that justifies the drop in productivity. The charts using rates are the ones that would understate the loss of staff the most. Leaving you with the one chart to use.

Yes, linear regression assume linearity, but people model non linnear relationships every day in OLS. Force a linear transformation for the predictor variable against the independent variabe. What I...

Every beta weight aka coefficient and intercept, has it's own confidence interval. Use all the upper ones in the calc, and use all the lower ones in the calc. Don't forget the intercept!!

Transfer your money to a discount broker. This will save you fees on liquidation. If they refuse, send a registered letter to your broker, or the pool of brokers, and copy your attorney. Give them 2...

The answer depends on your state + federal tax bracket. Plus % penalty. Yes, you have to pay taxes on it, but you didn't in the first place. Also, when you are old and decrepid, you will be in a...

While so called gurus always have one aswer, "Do Not Touch The Money", it can cost you more in the long run if you do not touch the money. While times may be tough, it would not take long to have...

There is no work around to paying federal and local taxes. The penalty can not be avoided. While some people would advise never doing this, there are longer term advantages to avoiding bankruptcy or...
