    Question re: Chinese-made unusual photo album

    From what you describe I'm sure I saw those types of albums before and are very popular among Asian wedding photo studios. You can probably get them to make it for you but they're expensive. A few hundred for an album from what I recall.

    The Police gravy train....

    Regardless of what Chief Blair says, the 5% cut should stand. The police with all their tactical smarts should be able to figure out a way to save 5% somewhere. Everyone has got to give up something. If governments were managed like a real business, cutting 5% is no big deal. If my company...

    Buying a small business

    JohnLarue is the only guy that makes sense here with regard to buying a small business. The OP has @ $100k to buy a business, not a multi-million $$$ company. There is no need to hire an accountant to check the books because a small business will have unaudited statements, I assure you the...

    safe return of about ~5% on investments

    With $1mil you have a lot of different options. If you must do stocks or ETF's, you should combine it with 'covered call' options. Even if the stock/ETF doesn't move or it drops in price at least you got some buffer from the option premiums. Or sell waaaay out-of-the-money credit spread...

    The Crazy Story of Circa Nightclub - classic case of "Other People's Money"

    Gatien must have coked up everyone who has any part of this club, or hes a real sly talker. So many things were obvious red flags any logical person would sense in this scheme. -Who would finance anyone for a business when the main operator, Gatien, didn't even have any of his own money...

    Canadians flee airport taxes for cheaper U.S. alternative.

    Politicians are the worst type of business-minded people. The only entities they seem to run properly are casinos and liquor stores because they're a monopoly. If these were also open to the free market they would probably go out of business in no time. If airfare from BUF to NYC costs $150...

    Advice is appreciated

    You have lots of choices with $15k and you can easily do all 3 that you listed. For myself, I would go about doing this: 1) Pay your kid $10k for working at your company. Your company can write-off the $10k and your kid doesn't have to pay tax on the $10k because they're still under the 0%...

    Commission fees?

    They're great for stocks, options, futures. But they're by far the best bang for the buck if you do options.

    Tipping: why is 10% not perfectly adequate?

    I worked at 2 different restaurants as a waiter when I was in high school / University which was 10 years ago. I can say it does take much more "skill" than working in a grocery store or simple retail (both of which I've also done). So I think its proper that wait staff gets paid more for their...

    If you had $500K ...

    #1 - Easiest way is to learn what other rich people are doing. Ask your rich friends, relatives, family, or even your boss what they did to become rich and how to keep growing the money. #2 - Or you'll just have to read A LOT and do a ton of homework and due diligence on investment ideas you...

    Just adding onto EJ543 and burt... For what its worth here is my take on these stock investment magazines / newsletters. I used to work for an investment firm. Small companies, venture companies, companies that want public attention, or companies who want to spin some 'stories or facts' in...
