| Time to take the measure of the recovery Posted: 29 Mar 2013 12:15 PM PDT Trading everywhere has ceased for Passover, Good Friday, and Easter, but next week brings a flood of brand-new information for March, capped on Friday by employment data. Thus a good time to reflect. I do not recall a moment in which so many economic elements at the same time have been at points of inflection. In the old days (five years ago) nothing much mattered except U.S. data. In global markets the world is more important than the U.S. |
| Uninsured losses on property theft and fraud are tax deductible Posted: 29 Mar 2013 11:10 AM PDT Fraud by building contractors is a distressingly common occurrence. How's this for a nightmare scenario: You agree to pay a contractor $400,000 to tear down part of your house and put in an addition. While the work is going on, you, your spouse, and five children stay with the wife's parents. The contractor tells you that the work is progressing according to schedule and you make multiple payments. |

| Protect yourself against loan lock scams Posted: 01 Apr 2013 03:33 AM PDT A price quote means nothing until it is properly locked with the lender. A rate lock, as it is commonly called, is the lender's commitment that it will make the specified loan at the specified price within a specified future period. The price includes not only the interest rate but also points, which are upfront charges expressed as a percent of the loan; fixed-dollar charges; and (if the loan is adjustable-rate) the margin and maximum rate. |
| 8 tips for buying in a tight market Posted: 01 Apr 2013 03:09 AM PDT It's always hard to predict how long it will take to find a home to buy. Given the current low-inventory environment, it may take you longer than it would in a balanced market that has enough homes for sale to satisfy the current buyer demand. Patience needs to be a key component of your home search mentality. Even if a home you like a lot comes along quickly in your search, other buyers may have the same idea. You could end up in competition. If you aren't the winning bidder, don't let disappointment immobilize you. |

| How to jump on the video bandwagon Posted: 01 Apr 2013 03:02 AM PDT Are you still stuck in "E" rather than moving forward into "V"?
