BofA Aims to Clearly Spell Out Credit Card Terms – Credit Market US News Story – CNBC.com.
40 Million Credit Card Holders will be mailed a letter from Bank Of America today letting them know it will cost more to make purchases.
Moving from a fixed interest rate to a variable rate tied to prime is the move most all U.S. banks are going to. especially before the new laws take effect in February 2010.
While Black Friday Shoppers were out in force this past week, it may suprise you to know using credit cards for purchases was down from last year. Going to show… consumers are more aware of the cost to use credit cards and are keeping their purchases in check.

The DOW makes it over 10,000 again but Wall Street is still not convinced the “bears” are done.
I’m happy to see the Dow back above 10,000 and I’m sure long term investors are too.
Short term many suggest we are in a “bear-market” rally and have data to support their claims.
Jim Crammer, a national TV host of Mad Money, has companies he likes and will suggest buying. A few we both agree on. We also agree to wait for the stocks to come down before we pull the trigger!
Will we give it all back tomorrow? Fridays and Mondays can be wild days!

Then & Now… 22 years ago tonight Don & I wore these shirts! “I SURVIVED BLACK MONDAY 10-19-1987″
What a day it was!
The Dow had dropped 23% and the news was flying… Me. I went to a printer and had two shirts made. One for me and one for Don, a client. I presented him with his very own, I SURVIVED BLACK MONDAY 10-19-1987. I wore mine home. Don wore his into Sizzlers that night.
I SURVIVED BLACK MONDAY 10-19-1987

1987 Stock Market Crash 22 Years Ago Today. I SURVIVED BLACK MONDAY!
Watch ABC Nightly New: 1987 Stock Market Crash
The Dow reached 2700 back in August of 1987.
Wall Street was hoping for 3,000.
What it got instead was… ”Black Monday”
I was sitting in my Dean Witter office that morning and thought my computer was broken. It’s true. I’d never seen the ticker down -200. By 8am (PST) that’s what I was looking at!
I was a 2 year old broker back then. I knew I needed to get advise from an expert, so I called Hayden O’Neil, my oldest and most experienced client. I knew I could trust him to give me it straight- up. Hayden had lost all his money in the 1929 crash. Made it back and then some! The had been through the fires of Wall Street and thrived!
He had just come in from burning leaves. He was going to make himself a ham sandwich and watch the noon news. He was cool, calm and collected. He wasn’t upset or even worried… Here is what he said to me that afternoon…
“Let’s see what the market does over the next couple of days.
Give me a call and I’ll bring in $100,000…
… and we’ll buy some good stocks”.
And that is exactly what we did.
Thanks Hayden for your great advise. It has served me well over these past 22 years!
Happy Anniversary!

DOW 10,000 What’s the scoop on Wall Street?
Some are saying… Ignore Dow 10,000 and You’re a Fool.
The markets look forward…and this is a very good sign that life is improving for corporate America.
With nearly 10% unemployment… are we as consumers feeling good about opening our pocket books and spending money?
What do you think DOW 10,000 means!
- Triggers a wave of selling?
- Fuels a rally and stocks sore?
- Market treads water and ends the year about where we are today?
