In my experience people who have "huge" amounts of notes, stocks, bonds or other easily negotiable instruments know exactly where to go to sell or trade them.all cash

Some things truly are priceless (cue the cheesy music).  

Things that interest me specifically are history, religion, money and finance, investing (obviously), economics, business, politics, cars, guns, and music (heavy metal is my forte).

I have just signed up to BP and am halfway through "Ultimate Bieginner's Guide to REI"Just wanted to take a small step forward and introduce myself to the community.I currently work at a cafe part-time and freelance as a Sound Designer/Music Producer.One question that I have, is to do with financing. 

CFD/LC are antiquated instruments and most do not carry the type of remedies that many think they do.  

Approaching loans which are long term debt instruments (ex: 30 year term) hoping for short term gains and exits really is a recipe for disaster.   

@Amy Madison Many people and investment groups like hedge funds came into tax liens as interest rates fell to almost zero percent on short term investments. 30-60-90 day, and even 12 month paper (money market instruments) were paying almost nothing.

There is no significant difference between the BAII ( Texas Instruments ) and the HP 12C (Hewlet Packard ).

Lots of industries work this way--music, movie, sports.  

@Beth D.one GC we reviewed had most of his projects on-line & it was basically a slideshow presentation of the project (set to music).
