Like a monster in a bad horror flick, every time this Hollywood Video debt collection controversy seems to be killed, it keeps coming back to life.

But the major stock market indexes were up even more than that. So are 401(k)s really the right ticket to a happy retirement? Marketplace economics correspondent Chris Farrell joins us now with [...] by ZH
Fidelity is happy to announce it has an opening for a new consumer discretionary analyst, because the current one, the one who recommended the firm’s investment in Green Mountain, is now looking for a job. Fidelity’s GMCR position , which as of 3:59 pm amounted to $1.13 billion, was minutes later trimmed by $445 million, after the company finally posted earnings (and we use the term loosely) which may have [...] http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com…o-innovate/?hp INNOVATION, OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, VOLUNTEERS AND COMMUNITY SERVICE “A good government implies two [...] By Liz Navratil , Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Thousands of dollars went missing this afternoon after the doors of a bank courier van opened, causing bags of money to spill out onto the road and people to gather in a frenzy.

We turned the tide in the Anbar province of Iraq and continue to see success today in southwest Afghanistan. While it has come at a cost … we have much to be proud of. This past year in operations around the world including humanitarian disaster relief, counter-piracy, [...] By Grace Wyler Texas Gov. Rick Perry has been taking a lot of heat over some of the more controversial claims made in his 2010 small government treatise Fed Up! Our Fight To Save America From Washington. The book is a fiery, anti-Washington treatise that lays bare Perry’s ideas on the dangers of federal overreach and the primacy of the 10th Amendment. Incredulous pundits and reporters are heralding it as a [...] Short-term credit markets are already hemorrhaging thanks to the lack of progress on the debt deal in Congress. This week, banks moved $37.5 billion from money market funds that are invested in Treasuries and other presumably safe securities, Dealbook reported — “the biggest weekly drop this year.” Just between Monday and Wednesday, investors pulled $17 billion treasury-only funds.

Indexed funds are designed to mimic a certain index, the s&p 500 for example, and will provide a less-than-index-average rate of return. Mutual fund sales people will argue that the return will not be that much less, however, if you choose the “low cost” funds offered by Fidelity and others.

User B does all of the above but also watches a NetFlix movie every night, adding 6Gb of consumption to their monthly usage. Both user A and user b pay the same amount to Comcast.
