| WAMU ABOUT TO SNEEZE AND CATCH A COLD
Cramer said that there's "no global economic slowdown." By contrast, Cramer also said, "the world is growing too fast for the Fed's comfort when it comes to inflation. In my honest opinion Cramers statements are idiotically made by the currently biggest media mouthpiece that was ever hired to pump and dump stocks for Wall Street in the history of stock fraud! If the world is growing too fast and the Fed is worried by inflation that would mean a rise in interest rates too sooner than later. Why would it be too sooner? Because right now the housing market has already been deflated by at least 10% over the past year and if that is not enough to signal the beginning of a recession, wipe out $1.4 trillion of home equity across 300 million homes in America and it averages about 3,333.33 per household in lost wealth.
Scholarships Can Fulfill Students' Hopes and Dreams
CLEVELAND, March 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The following story was written by Rick Vonk, president of Key Education Resources. President John F.

Jewell students change the world, one loan at a time
Students from William Jewell College's Pryor Leadership Studies Program plan to change the developing world, one micro-financing loan at a time.Before they graduate, 29 students in the distinctive Pryor program hope to donate $12,000 through micro-financing loans to entrepreneurs in impoverished countries through Kiva, a California-based nonprofit organization.The students have been raising the money as part of their senior legacy project, which culminates their three years in the experience-based academic program that combines students with majors ranging from business to science to help prepare them as leaders in their future communities.They've already raised just under $5,000, which included $1,300 from their own pockets and $700 from the director of the program, Kevin Shaffstall."One thing we emphasized among each other was that we each needed to give first to show our dedication," said Pryor senior Andrew Gard, a Park Hill High School graduate.
Room for small investors
PRIME Minister John Howard last week announced we had reached the stage where more Australians owned shares than were members of a trade union. At the same time, share markets everywhere tumbled in response to a drop in the Chinese market – billions were wiped off prices. This is all good news. We urgently need to get Australians being comfortable with investing in shares because no other investment has the potential for big gains, or the flexibility that shares offer. But investors need to understand that markets can fall suddenly, as well as rise, and that hanging on, or even buying, when the inevitable bad patch hits is the only strategy to adopt. A major benefit is that the income from shares that pay franked dividends is tax-free for anybody earning less than $75,000 a year, while the ability to deal in small parcels makes it easy to minimise capital gains tax.
