[quote=vinod;93688]US is the most dominant economic, military, and cultural power relative to the rest of the nations in the history of mankind. Can you think of a single power that is as dominant at any time in history? All the problems US faces are relatively minor when compared to either the ...

Desi, when you got the 1099, did you notice the "service charge". It is a small amount for me, but might be high in your case. I remember last year some one on the prosper forum was able to take that deduction, but if I remember correctly one had to itemize. I didn't follow up on that since I used ...

That is probably true in any other state in India. If I think my prospects are good in TN, then I'd like my kids ...

KRV, Some years ago in the MSN forum, some one mentioned a website where you could select a month in time (or a date I don't remember which) and see if dca or lumpsum was better. They also stated that for the most part (may be 70% or more) lumpsum was better. But FEAR is a very powerful emotion ...
