How come no one has booted Barney Frank from his position as Chair of the House Financial Services Committee?
Q. In September 2003, Frank, then the ranking Democrat on the Republican-led Financial Services Committee, opposed Bush administration proposals for transferring oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by creating an independent agency to supervise. The proposal would have moved oversight from Congress and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to the new agency. Frank stated in 2003, "The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."[30] Frank stated that the bill would potentially "[weaken] the bargaining power of poorer families and their ability to get affordable housing" And his "boyfriend" was instrumental in crafting todays collapse.… [cont.]

Has anyone conducted business with Interest Financial Services? Are they legitimate or a scam?
Q. I was offered a home 300,000 home loan from Interest Financial Services, but they are requiring a collateral deposit of $8,200. I can understand the need for the deopsit, since I am high risk with bad credit, but the comapny wants me to send the money via wester union to someone in Canada. I am looking for ANYONE who has done business with this company.

A. Scam. Loan amounts are REDUCED by fees. You NEVER pay the fees up front. Scammers hope you don't know that, offer you fake money and try to get you to send the money via Western Union (it's untraceable and they can pick it without ID).

To what extent did your internship affect your plans for a career in financial services?
Q. I use to work at the Crowne Plaza Time Sqaure Hotel in Manhattan for six weeks. What does this internship have to do with a career financial services . I really don't understand the question. Whoever has the best answer wins
Asked by Siegel - Wed Aug 30 19:17:30 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The internship after getting a business degree is very influential in choosing my career path. I got an internship in a large bank, and i really liked the environment, culture, and the business. it intrigued me so much that i pursued a banking career after my studies. if you worked in crowne plaza, which is a hotel, then at least you should be able to get experience on the financial aspect of running the hotel. try to get an understanding on cost/room or overhead costs, and economies of scale. this will give you a feel of the financial aspect of the hotel. this skill can be transferred to banking where you will deal with all sorts of numbers.
