The best way is to ask a friend or family member that has recently sold their home which Realtor they used…then call that Realtor and they will walk thru your home and be able to let you know what it will sell for.

There are web sites that claim to come up with a market value in seconds without any walk thru. I have found those to be several thousand off. More than 10% off in many cases. But if you are just doing it for fun and don’t care if it is accurate or not then they would be fine.

Can someone help me find live "up to the minute" industry reports for currency, and stock market traders?

look at the financial news bloomberg, yahoo, cnbc all of them have breaking news.

To those who have shall more be given (because they can pay for it). That seems to be the system?
Whoops! By "WANTS" I meant "need". Want is insatiable when it comes to greed. The Earth is not enough, it seems … hence climate change.

You can never satisfy your wants ……so wants are always present and people work to earn money to satisfy these wants. …..your economy grows.

I’m looking to keep track of prices going up, down or staying the same and by what percentages.

Well, I don’t know about Canada as I live in the U.S. However, down here, we have organizations like the National Association of Realtors, the California Association of Realtors and the National Association of Mortgage brokers and etc. These organizations all keep records. Additionally, there are companies like Dataquick and Zillow that keep great records. If you do some research, I am sure there are similar companies in Canada that do the same. Perhaps the American companies have counterparts in Canada. Check with them.

I’ve been out on 25+ interviews and still no success. As of right now I am not sure what to do. Everyone tells me I should be hired already. I am extremely confident and I dress just like the managers. I’ll just keep going to these interviews until I get an offer.

HR feedback would be great.

Hi,

Your education and other credentials would seem to make you a good candidate for employment, even as Entry Level?

If you want feedback on your interviews or at least what should you improve on to better your chances, in future interviews??

Ask the HR DEPARTMENTS of the COMPANIES you have ALREADY INTERVIEWED WITH.

Tell them you are trying to improve your chances of getting hired, and would they mind telling you, off the record, why you weren’t considered for employment?

Or as much as Company Policy will allow?
You may need to write a letter, for this request?

If you don’t remember who in HR you dealt with, you might have to go in and talk to the secretary there, and ask?

Good luck.

I don’t know anything about the "market report" however I know it works. Did for me, my husband, and 3 friends anyways! You can visit their website at www.chantix.com for more information. Good luck.

How many festivals, markets and fairs take place in the US each year?
This should include farmers markets, food festivals, etc. Very
comprehensive number.

There is no hope of you ever coming to an accurate number because there are many markets that just pop up. I can tell you that Ohio has 88 counties and that means 88 county fairs each year. There is also the state fair. There are numerous towns with 4th of July festivals, different festivals celebrating fruits and veggies as well as baskets etc… I would say that in Ohio there are probably 600 of these events each year, now you also have 50 states to worry about.

To get an accurate number you’d have to make a lot of phone calls. Find out what carnie ride operators are licensed through the state then call those operators and ask them how many things they do each year. You could also call every county in the US (of course that would take forever).

I’m just going to guess and say 25,000.

Many frauds had taken money from public thtrough SHARE / MUTUAL FUND MARKET in a fake name of a COMPANY.

These companies did not do any business and does not exist.

What the right investor has from these FRAUD COMPANIES ?

What an investor shall do so that THEY ARE PROTECTED in future FROM THESE or any other FRAUDs?

Just do not invest and stay away from fradulent companies!

I have studied economics and my knowledge of marketing is sketchy. I know about cross tabs. Basically I am looking for a Market research job where I use my data analysis skills . What would be the name of such a position?

Database analyst– regression skills are key for direct marketing analysts.
