…because the blog’s been pretty crappy as of late. Wouldn’t it be awesome if there’s a flash animation of a tumbleweed blowing across the screen right now?
Anyway, I apologize for the lack of post and will redouble my effort on the blog!

I generally don’t mention online savings that require a minimum balance, but E-Loan’s Online Savings of 5.50% APY is a pretty hot deal. For people with more than $5,000, this account easily beats out any other current high-yield online savings offerings.
One caveat: You’re not allow to ACH pull from outside sources. So the only way to withdrawal your funds are via E-Loan’s site.
Ethic in Making Money: Where Do You Draw The Line?
Posted by Cap in Even More Ramblings | 9 CommentsAs I was reading the Click Fraud story from Business Week, I got rather pissed off when I read the nonchalant responses from the people that participated in click fraud scheme. It’s as if they have no issue with stealing money from other people.
$40 at local retailers (if you can find it). Also available online for around $100 (currently).
Crazy hype and marketing or really kick-ass toy? Do kids really have fun with these Elmo? Because forty bones sure is a lot of moola…

Uh, does anyone here still use eBay? Especially to buy something?
I can’t recall the last time I bought something on eBay.
Couple of reasons:
- Too many items from too many different sellers to sort through
- Blatant & annoying fee avoidance - $49.95 to ship a 3 ounce memory card
- Feedback + rating system still a joke
- No warranty or support from select sellers
- Prices no longer as competitive to offset negatives
Back in the days, whenever someone ask me if I know of a cheap place online to get something, I would tell them to search eBay first. Now, I just point them to various price comparison search engines or specific online forums for used goods.
Kept forgetting to mention these two noteworthy blogs that some people may be interested in:
- Credit Slips - Discussions on Credit & Bankruptcy
- Consumer Law & Protection Blog
