What’s good for Facebook now will be good for Goldman, Sachs & Co. News of the investment bank’s decision to invest $450 million in the social-networking giant helped send Goldman’s shares up $4.89, or 2.9%, to $173.05 on Monday, amid a broad market rally. That left the stock at its highest level since April 15. What’s significant about that: The shares now have recouped nearly all of what they lost in the aftermath of the Securities and Exchange Commission's civil fraud case against the bank. Goldman’s shares plummeted $23.57, or nearly 13%, to $160.70 on April 16 after the SEC stunned Wall Street by alleging that Goldman in 2007 defrauded investors in marketing what became toxic mortgage securities. The stock continued to slide through the spring and early summer before finally bottoming at $131.08 on July 2. The shares pushed higher from there, but stalled out in mid-December despite the broader market’s continuing advance. Goldman on July 15 agreed to settle the SE...

Wall Street titan Goldman Sachs is hoping to take its newfound friendship with social media wunderkind Mark Zuckerberg all the way to the bank. Goldman is betting that it can parlay its $450 million investment into hundreds of millions in fees it can wring from lucrative equity, debt, and merger and acquisition deals with Facebook. Some analysts say Goldman could ring up fees of as much as $50 million from just leading an initial public offering of Facebook. Goldman is expected to make an announcement of its interest in Facebook, reported late Sunday, as soon as today, sources note. A Goldman spokesman declined to comment. According to reports, Goldman made an investment alongside Russia's Digital Sky Technologies, with plans to offer its shares of Facebook to its clients via a special purpose vehicle. At present, Facebook sees only limited trading on secondary exchange platform SecondMarket, for privately-held companies. Such a move has raised concerns with regulators,...

Negotiation is part of every professional's life. To negotiate, means to arrive at an understanding with another person, so that both of you are satisfied with the results. Do you know what is your skill in negotiation? If not, why not test and find out because most of our interactions demand negotiation.

When I mention the words, estate planning, most people think of meeting with an attorney and drafting legal documents. Traditionally, those documents include a will, durable power of attorney, health care proxy and perhaps a trust. After you draft these documents, you meet to sign them, then you put them somewhere "safe," cut a check to the attorney and breathe a sigh of relief because you finally have things covered. All is well and your estate is perfectly in order, right? WRONG! Too often the drafting of legal documents is confused with developing an estate plan. Sure, legal documents are part of an estate plan, but they are not "the" estate plan. You need to make sure that you have everything in one spot. If not, you could cause yourself some real problems. That's why 98% of all estate plans fall short. That's why you have debacles like the Terry Schiavo case and the Ted Williams dispute. In order to make sure that these sort of things don't happen...

When Google's AdSense appeared, there were a lot of people who doubted Google's idea would be marketable and actually generate any profits. Yet as we stand here today it's probably the most well known pay per click venture in the world. Yes, all those nay sayers ended up eating their own words in the end. And that is because the folks at Google never go and do something without assessing whether or not it will be profitable, or exactly how profitable it is. But of course, as you might very well know, AdSense isn't just profitable for Google. It's also profitable for the people who advertise via AdWords and very profitable for publishers who use it to make earnings which are sometimes just enormous. So one must ask himself why this is such a good deal for everybody. And the question in itself is very justified because you hardly ever come across something that's profitable for everyone in the chain. So why would AdSense be any different. Well, AdSense is ...

Have you ever wondered what enables some entrepreneurs to exponentially grow their businesses while others go flat, or worse? Their secret lies in their ability to find and lead what I call their "hidden" organization. You may think you don't have an organization, hidden or otherwise, especially if your business consists of a "gang of one" or there are only a few employees on staff. But the fact is that even the smallest businesses have an organization, and your success or failure is determined by your ability to find it and then lead it in a way that gives you more of the results you want. This may be a totally new concept to consider. It's easy to think of giant corporations as having organizations. These are the "internal stakeholders" consisting of employees, departments and committees on the payroll. However, large companies are realizing that independent consultants, suppliers, outsource providers, alliance partners, customers and other ...

There are many ways that adults can help leave a positive legacy for the generations behind them. One of the best ways that we as adults can care for the world we live in is to invest in the young people all around us.

Haven't you become a member of the large family of mutual fund investors yet? If you keep waiting you may never be able to feel the positive effects mutual funds have on your account. However, you are not the only one who has not managed to overcome some of the basic mental barriers that come in your way toward mutual fund investing. First of all you may think that you don't have enough money to invest in a mutual fund. However, as little as $100 can get you started in your trip to a rich mutual fund account, which will provide you with financially secure retirement. No trading costs exist when you invest in the majority of mutual funds, which allows you to invest small amounts of money. As compared to stock investing, the latter eats up a big portion of your money in terms of broker commissions and you end up with less money for investing. On the other hand, you may be reluctant to invest in a mutual fund, because you find it non-guaranteed or non-insured. However, you should ...

Bad Credit? Lose The Shame, Take Responsibility, and Begin Rebuilding According to the research firm Sherbrooke and Associates, 43 percent of American households are "credit constrained." This is probably because they carry too much current debt, or they were forced into making poor choices with their credit in the past. With interest rates rising and the housing market cooling, the number of credit constrained households is likely to increase. If you find yourself in a such a situation, know that you're not alone. Having excess debt and bad credit is a source of shame for many, and it has even been known to break up otherwise loving marriages. Many people who are credit-constrained feel there is no way out - particularly now that bankruptcy laws have been changed to make filing for bankruptcy more difficult for people with even average incomes. The truth, contrary to what most bankruptcy lawyers will tell you, is that bankruptcy is rarely the answer. You can dig yourself...

Athens, Greece (CNN) -- More than 5 million Greeks did not pay income taxes for 2008, according to public documents released by the struggling nation's finance ministry. More than six in 10 taxpayers earn less than 12,000 euros per year and are not required to pay income taxes under the Greek tax system, the press office of the Greek Ministry of Finance said Thursday. However, there is wide speculation that many Greeks are not accurately reporting their income. Most workers and professionals earned more than 12,000 euros in salary in 2008, according to the data provided by the Finance Ministry this month. The average salaried income was 19,234 euros for taxpayers and professionals earned 29,569 euros on average for the year. Farmers, ranchers and fisherman made 11,500 euros per year on average, but those workers only accounted for 390,000 people in the workforce. The Finance Ministry's operations have been under scrutiny since the European Union and the Inter...

They say death and taxes are the only two certain things in life. Alas, this wasn't always the case. Well, at least for the income tax. The History of Income Taxes Our great nation came into existence in fits and starts. Following the revolt against the British, a federal government was elected and the fun began. This "fun" inevitably led to the situation where not everyone could agree on what the United States should stand for, much less what laws should be enacted. As a result, there was no federal income tax for nearly 100 years. Ah, the good ole days! If there was no income tax during this period, you are probably wondering how the government functioned. It did so by collecting use and sales taxes. Taxes were charged on liquor, tobacco and imports to mention just a few. Many people in our modern society would like to return to just such a system. Contrary to popular notions, the first income tax was not put into law in the early 1900's. In fact, the first Presiden...
