Kirberts finance advice and news

FRANKFURT - SAP has agreed to purchase software group Business Objects for 42 euros per share in cash, valuing the transaction, its largegest-ever acquisition, at just over $6.8 billion.

A principal of $5000 was invested in a savings account for 4 years. If the interest earned for the period was $400, what was the interest rate?

I have a home and a trust fund, that I want to leave untouched that my late husband left me, I am scared the government will take it all after my time is up on my medicare. Is there anything I can do…..

Assume that the risk free rate increases. What impact would this have on the cost of debt? What impact would it have on the cost of equity?

A couple times I shifted around the portfolio “pie” making a few pie pieces larger and a few smaller. Does it cost money to do this or should I just leave them as they are?
PS: I have Citistreet

I was going to setup on line savings accounts for each of my 3 kids, but when trying iGoBanking and a few others, the applications won't go thru or require a drivers license, etc. I even tried me as a joint applicant and it didn't work. Other options vs me opening 3 accounts in my name?

ex is filing for bankruptcy 13.

wants me to sign a fewthing that says child support is not included in his bankruptcy 13.

what are the pros and cons for signing this for me?

Please don't tell me to bring it to a lawyer - he needs it tonight.
