Only a fool would use a credit card to invest
Unlike a mutual fund, UIT share prices in the secondary market may be priced above or below the net asset value of the trust's actual holdings. When you buy shares of UITs, you typically pay a sales fee, or load, of around 4 or 5 percent. But you should note that many mutual funds carry no sales loads at all. My dumbest investment: Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. This means don't invest in things you don't know much about. I made a real estate investment in a marginal property and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. It makes every mistake I ever made in the stock market appear trivial. Blind faith, hunches, and the assumption that there is a solution to every problem are what lead people into financial disasters.
KAR Holdings Posts 3Q Revenue Jump
CARMEL, Ind. — Even in a challenging market, KAR Holdings, which is the umbrella company for the privately held group of ADESA companies, reported Wednesday that revenue growth was "exceptionally strong," especially on the salvage side of business. Officials also indicated that it is unlikely ADESA will be as aggressive acquiring more auctions going forward, as it was during September, October and November of this year. However, officials qualified this statement by saying that they still see growth ahead. As opportunities arise, it is likely the company will move on them. 3Q Results Overall, KAR Holdings said third-quarter revenue rose 10.6 percent to $394.3 million, as compared with $356.4 million posted in the same time frame of last year.

What Darwin Teaches About the Drug War
The U.S. government responds by pumping billions more dollars into the war on drugs. Federal spending for this "war without end" is more than twenty times what it was in 1980 and still the drug traffickers appear to be winning. Despite more than six billion dollars spent on "Plan Colombia" alone, cocaine production has actually increased in that country. Now the Bush Administration is asking for $1.4 billion more to aid the Mexican government's drug crackdown through the "Merida Initiative." Although it may seem counterintuitive, the "law and order" response by our politicians only intensifies the problem. Instead, they might turn to Charles Darwin's theory of evolution to glean insight as to why these "common sense" reactionary solutions often are counterproductive. As illegal drugs become easier to obtain and more potent, politicians respond in a knee-jerk manner by ramping up law enforcement.
