Tow Companies Sued for Alleged Excessive Costs
2009-09-09 00:47:00 An insurance company filed five complaints today against various area towing companies for allegedly defauding consumers and their insurance companies. According to the complaints, the defendant towing company employees would arrive at the scene of an accident unsolicited, offer to tow a driver's car, falsely state that the driver's insurance would cover the towing costs and then later refuse to release the car at the lot until full payment was made of the "excessively high towing, storage and other associated miscellaneous fees." The plaintiff indicates that, in order to fulfill its obligation to the insureds, it had no choice to pay the excessive fees and, if it did not, its consumers would cancel their policies and the premium would go up...

Can't Control the Markets? Try controlling the Costs
2009-06-25 13:59:00 You can't control the markets, but you can control investing costsAs 2008 proved, the financial markets are prone to unpredictable periods of turbulence. That can make investing feel a bit like a roller-coaster ride. The disappointing results that many mutual funds posted in 2008 and at the outset of 2009 may have left you feeling concerned over your financial future. You're not alone.However, one maxim seems to hold true: There's one very important element affecting long-term investment return that you can exert a great deal of control over, and that's your investing costs.Keeping costs to a minimum can help boost long-term investment success. That's because every dollar paid for management fees, trading costs, and taxes is a dollar less of potential net return. And while some costs are not as transparent to the average mutual fund investor, a fund's expense ratio is always transparent.Although lower costs aren't a guarantee of superior mutual fund performance, higher costs ...

Software piracy costs $50 billion a year, according to BSA
2009-05-25 07:07:00 Software piracy costs $50 billion a year, according to BSAA report released Tuesday claims that 20 percent of PC software within the United States is pirated – and that that rate is still the lowest in the world.The sixth revision of a joint study between the Business Software Alliance and IDC found that that Armenia, Bangladesh, Georgia, and Zimbabwe are the countries with the highest amounts of piracy, topping 90 percent. Worldwide, the rate of software piracy rose from 38 percent to 41 percent, because of the increase of Internet users in high-piracy locations such as China and India, the report found. Software piracy within the U.S., meanwhile, has remained flat. Setting the effects of exchange rates aside, the report found that the estimated losses from software piracy grew by 5 percent to $50.2 billion. In 2005, however, The Economist published a critique of the BSA/IDC methodology, concluding that the study’s results were exaggerated. BSA and IDC representatives were not...
Health care isn't the problem - health insurance costs are
2009-05-16 06:15:00 Some people who say the government "can't do anything efficiently" also now say a public insurance system competes with private insurers unfairly – these fear it will out-compete big business? CEOs earning tens of millions of dollars per year fear free market competition?The cost control problem is that the idea of controlling health care costs is contrary to earning insurance company profits - what incentive there is only applies to their own costs of operation. When the cost of health services go up the big insurance companies just make a cut of a larger price-tag. That's why U.S. health care costs have tripled the rate of inflation for three decades. Insurers have no incentive to moderate health care costs, only how much they profit -- so naturally they insure the healthiest, and make it hard to get help with pre-existing and/or expensive conditions.Sometimes they even countermand medical decisions. Bureaucrats worrying about their bottom line can over-rule a licensed docto...

Bariatric Surgery Costs
2008-11-07 08:07:00 Bariatric Surgery Costs was written by Eddie Tobey from e-bariatricsurgery.comThe cost of Bariatric surgery can be quite high. The typical price of an operation can be $25,000 or more. Medical insurance coverage varies by state and insurance provider, and although some states have legislation in place that requires insurers to offer weight loss surgery for patients, providing it meets health criteria laid down by the National Institutes of Health, other states do not. This means that patients who would benefit from bariatric surgery often have to contend with providers that have not yet accepted that this kind of weight loss surgery can deliver powerful medical benefits that will save them money in the long run. A patient encountering this problem may have to work with his or her surgeon to prove to the health insurance provider that the proposed surgery is not a cosmetic procedure, but a potentially life-saving operation that will minimize future health problems.Individuals who are...

Crisis leads to further plunge of housing costs in the U.S.
2008-10-28 18:49:00 The prices of single-family homes in the U.S. plummeted 16.6% since last year.

Home prices fell approximately 1% in August alone; however, the rate of acceleration in decline seems to be moderating. Such a steep drop comes from a huge supply of homes, as well as tightened lending standards and record foreclosures. David M. read more in hotstocked.com

A Unique Approach to Rising Oil Costs
2008-08-05 14:00:00 ....turning out the lights on the debate and walking away?Apparently, that's the Pelosi approach. Friday, as House Republicans desire to continue discussion on how to lower the cost of oil domestically, Dems walked out, and Pelosi turned out the lights (and C-span cameras on them).Nice. The open, honest, ethical congress at work folks.Read more below.***UPDATE: The "protest" continues....and while prices have temporarily dropped thanks to W's curbing of the executive ban on drilling, real change is being opposed by Democrats not on any form of principle, but simply so they can position "at risk" party members to win in November. It's not about what's right for Americans. It just about how they can save their butts."But what looks like intraparty tension on the surface is part of an intentional strategy in which Pelosi takes the heat on energy policy, while behind the scenes she?s encouraging vulnerable Democrats to express their independence if it helps them politically, accordi...

How Much The iPhone 3G Really Costs You
2008-06-11 08:07:00 For techies, particularly those who like Apple products, the new iPhone 3G is starting to look nice. The current iPhone already has a mess of cool features, but Apple?s adding speed, GPS, support for Exchange, and many other features to attract new consumers, particularly business consumers.Most importantly, the price for the entry level iPhone will be lower than less sophisticated devices, only $199.This price is highly subsidized by AT&T, the only carrier that will officially support the iPhone. For every customer purchase, AT&T provides $300 to $400 to Apple to receive the device.

If you?re an average iPhone user, you are spending $540 more per year, or $1,080 over the life of the two-year contract, for the privilege of bu...
