The strategy would have to be beneficial to the Iraqis as well as to the coalition, and ease the tension with neighboring Islamic countries.

How Would The Margin Requirement Be Accounted By A Commodity Trading Organization?
admin
If you are a commodity trading organization trading futures and the brokerage needs a margin requirement — how is that accounted for in the financial statements? Is it an expense in the income statement?
-
Jo
The amount with the futures brokers, including the margin requirement is accounted for as “other receivables”, maintained in a sub account called “Amounts owning from brokers”. It is a balance sheet account, under current assets.

Should The British Government Try To Jump Start The Housing Market?
admin
Or should it be allowed to revalue its self based on affordability and stability. Once prices have fallen to a level that first time buyers can afford then the market will open up again. If the government start adding incentives to drive the market then it will keep prices artificially high and just perpetuate the problem of affordability. Do you agree?
-
Dr Watson (UK)
I think the second thing you suggest. All very well for the building industry and estate agents to moan, but the way the market was before was unsustainable and ridiculous. If banks start easing up and giving out mortgages again first time buyers will at last have a chance. I totally don;t think the gov should interfere – free market economy and all that .

We’ve been through this before – it will right it’s self eventually. No-one has an automatic right to own a home – you can only do it when you can afford it. The government should wipe out all stamp duty afterall they get plenty of income from all the goods and services we put into a new property!

Most things the Government does produce the opposite of the intended result. They should keep their nose out and let the market determine the correct pricing level.
However, they could help by not confusing people, for example about stamp duty! -

The only way is more immigration which requires a growing economy demanding more labour. Simply, supply and demand.

Is this capitalism, i wonder. Its’ a bit like the government on both sides of the ‘pond’ bailing out the banks when they get in trouble. Watch this space.

Its a natural re adjustment to years of over valuations, it was bound to happen sooner or later.

What Exactly Is A Certified Letter From The Irs?
admin
My husband got a certified letter from the IRS. We have to pick it up at the post office tomorrow. Could this be a refund check or something else?
-

It’s not likely a refund – those just come by regular mail, as do first notifications of a problem with a return. If it’s certified, probably means trouble. But not picking it up will just make things worse, so pick it up, and deal with whatever the problem is. Ducking the IRS doesn’t work.

A certified letter means you are on notice of a serious tax problem.
The odds are if you are receiving a certified letter, you already know this
and what the letter is about.
Let me give you free advice learned from many years of dealing with the IRS.
Never ever deal with an auditor. Their job is to get as much out of you as possible, and the more they get, the faster they get out of the audit
division. The audit division sucks.
Who you want to deal with is the appeals division. The appeals officer has broader authority to settle a tax debt. Now there is a downside of dealing with Appeals. An auditor can only audit the areas they called out in the audit
and can not open other areas. An Appeals officer can review the entire
return.
So if you have a shady return, deal with the audit division. If your return is fairly sound, then deal with the appeals division. -

‘Certified’ is a service of the US Post Office that provides a tracking number and proof of delivery. The IRS does not normally pay the extra fee to mail a return check. It sounds like bad news to me.

it is just that they do not want you to be able to say you did not get it. probably an audit or some bad news. they do not care if you get refund checks or not so that is not likely.

Why Is It Essential For A Company To Implement An Adequate Information Strategy?
admin
Minimum points for adopting a strategy could be SIX reasons.
Help? Damn you Business Informaton Management!
Thanks-
Matt R
Well, you need to know the priority of information. Is the information you’re dealing with important or useless? What should we do with the information? What is the level of security of the information? Public? Private? How will we protect the information? How will we distribute the information to those who are authorized to access it?
I don’t understand your question, read it before you submit it next time.

I am a military veteran from the Vietnam era, and I have followed this rather closely. Let me preface my remarks by saying this was an illegal war for which the Bush administration should be put on trial as war criminals responsible for every single death that has occurred (to our troops, to Iraqi citizens and patriots, and to coalition forces). This being said, I would add to Mr. Murtha’s remarks by saying we should redeploy our troops to the borders of Iraq (although this administration has already shown itself to be inept at border control) and close off the borders to incoming migrants and/or militants. Let those who are currently within the borders of Iraq fight things out amongst themselves, much like you let multiple siblings establish their own pecking order as long as there is no major abuses. Meanwhile, exchange all American greedy-gut (illegal?) contractors for Iraqi-based corporations and get these money-grubbing no-bid-contracting criminals out of the way (true for New Orleans as well) so that the Iraqi people can earn their own money in their own land rebuilding and strengthening their own country that we, as a terrorist nation under Bush, have destroyed.

I believe the best people to police the Iraqis, would be their own peole. However, their own people are horribly devided by generations of hatred and distrust. Our cultures are so different (America vs. Iraq) that we will never be affect police if we follow our rules…but, we should not break down and follow theirs, either. I think that if they, and the world, are truly committed to the US withdrawing from Iraq, we need to have the UN take action to get us out. They need to set up a police force that is multinational, with clearly defined goals…and a clear date of when to totally withdraw. Replace our soldiers with theirs, and then turn over the reins. I believe that our administration is waiting for a time when it will be less destructive and caotic to withdraw, but I fear that with a people who have been in survival of the fitest mode for so long, that this is not something that will happen any time soon, and that we are being very optimistic to think we can “wait it out”.

Why does the solution need to be beneficial to Iraqis and neighboring islamic countries? Islam has proven itself a plague on civilization everywhere in the world it has gained a foot-hold. Our stategy should be to isolate (quarantine) islam until it gets its act together or dies out.

Nations, like Iraq, of multiple ethnicities and religions, coupled with intolerance and competition, are difficult to rule; and more likely than not, it takes a strong dictator to keep the peace.
And in these nations democracy rarely works well.
The best exit strategy is to divide Iraq into three separate countries, one for the Kurds, one for the Sunnis, and one for the Shihites; and give the UN along with the other Arab nations the tasks of drawing the borders and border border enforncement.
This will not only get the US out of Iraq, but mitigate the Arabic anger that feeds terrorism.

To simply admit what is true….that you have NO right to dictate to other countries what their values should be, and pull right out before another person is killed. To admit that Mr Bush is simply rabid for oil and that is what this whole war has been about from the beginning.
