Anyone have information on a General Liability broker for a non-profit org that has 2 locations?
Q. I need to purchase General Liability Insurance to cover two programs (computer training for women and tutoring for children). They both operate at different locations. I have been looking but not able to find any quotes.

A. An independent insurance agent in your area should be able to help you out. Profit versus non-profit should not make much difference in this particular coverage. There are, however, other coverages you should consider such as Directors and Officers & Errors and Ommisions coverage. Depending on the state you are in there are a number of Agencies that should be able to help you out. Good luck!

How can NFL tickets be sold out before they've gone on sale to the general public?
Q. I phoned the Colts box office for the New Orleans game and they said tix haven't gone on sale yet, so I asked where and when I can get them. He said they're all sold out. All these web ticket agents are changing 8 or 9 times the box office price. How is this fair to the general public and fans that all these brokers have scooped them up? Is there a conspiracy?

A. You must use a broker, even if it is only Etrade. In order to buy and sell stock on the exchanges, you must have what is called a "seat" which provides trading priviledges. Only brokers have seats.

Do stock brokers/financial planners earn more commission when they sell a certain stock?
Q. If one goes to see a financial planner/stock broker that is commision based, is there a push to sell one particular stock? For example, let's say that I am interested in buying stock in General Mills, but Hershey has a higher commision structure for the broker, so they would push Hershey instead. The companies listed are just hypothetical, and the first that came into my head, since I am hungry.
Asked by Bird Breath - Tue May 1 10:19:27 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. That depends. A broker makes the same commission when buying or selling any particular stock, so he does not have a preferrence that is swayed by commission. That being said, the more you trade, the more he makes, so this might influence his relationship with you. a financial planner, is paid by selling you stuff, by either a fee for time, or a sales commission, and a kickback from the product sold and trailing fees on the investment in the future. their optimal return is based on you staying with their products long term, and adding more capital over time.

Will the Dems have chosen their candidate by the time of the November general election?
Q. We all know that both Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama are going to go ALL the way to win the nomination. That includes a brokered convention in late August at the Denver Cow Palace. After that there are only two months left. This is not even enough time for them to fight out in court who won the nomination. Based upon how the Dem party has screwed up the primaries so far, both candidates have valid challenges to the other's nomination.

What is the minimum investment required to build a decent share portfolio?
Q. I received a bonus from work and have 3000 available to invest. Rather than just putting it into a cash ISA I am considering opening an online sharedealing account and investing in shares. However, even the cheapest online brokers charge a flat fee of around 8-10 per trade. I don't mind a moderate degree of risk, but I get the feeling that after trading fees are deducted I will struggle to beat the performance of a tracker fund or even a normal savings account even if I make good stock selections (and this is by no means guaranteed!)

A. A brokered convention means the superdelegates (lawmakers, governors, former presidents, etc) will basically have full control over who becomes the Democrat candidate, regardless of who wins more states, "pledged" delegates or the popular vote. If a situation arises where say the pledged delegates favor Obama but the Superdelegates put Clinton over the top, there will be a major rift in the party that will send people fleeing to another party.

I need to do a Rapid Rescore for my credit. I am not refinancing so no mortgage broker. Who do I call?
Q. If I had a mortgage broker, I could have him/her do it since many of them are able to arrange contacts with the credit bureaus to update my credit file. But I am not refinancing and firms that do Rapid Rescore appear to only work with mortgage brokers. I am trying to find a way around this. I want to act quickly to take advantage of credit opportunities that have a time limit on them. I have to correct an error and the credit bureaus' standard procedures take too long. So, in short, I need to find a company that does Rapid Rescore for the general public. I need a phone number, a website, address, etc. Also I would like feedback on someone's successful story in having done it him/herself. Thank you.

A. An insurance broker is a liaison between an insurance company and a company or person looking for insurance. The big insurance broker's business usually consists of finding policies for companies. For example, a company may come to a broker and describe what kind of business it does. The broker will help determine what kind of coverage that company needs, i.e., general liability, property, professional liability, employee liability, theft, etc. and then will negotiate with an insurance company or several insurance companies that will issue the policies. The broker will generally collect the premiums and send them to the insurance company, receive notice of claims or losses and transmit those to the insurance company, and otherwise… [cont.]

A. And you accepted the lies because you thought you one would get a house, and two thought you would get over and make money on it, and now it has come back to bite you, and hundreds of others. Basic fact is you signed the document, therefore stating the information was correct, you had at that time the opportunity to change anything, but you did not. Things did not turn out the way you planned, and you are now looking for someone else to blame, when the blame clearly lies on you shoulders. If the documents are indeed false you are an accessory to fraud. Time to take responsibility for your own mistakes, and decisions.
