  • Will adverse action notice/getting dropped from an insurance plan cause lower credit score in IL?

  • Failure to reduce speed/accident in Illinois?

    I rear-ended another car. The officer issued me a citation for failure to reduce speed/accident. He advised me to plea not guilty and hope the other driver doesn't show up. I had to draw a picture describing the accident and showing me hitting the other car along with providing a description. This got mailed back to the court. If nobody shows up will I be found not guilty? Will I have to stay afterwards for a trial?

    I don't really know what to expect.

  • Best way to bet against the market without shorting?

    Shorting generally has minimum equity requirements I can't meet (ideally I would short a large market-leader). Short ETFs don't really give me the "oomf" I'm looking for and need (transaction fees actually affect my profits with the amount I'm investing) and leveraged short ETFs experience nontrivial decay when held for extended periods so I won't actually get even near a *hypothetical* 60% return on a market down 20% over 8 months.

    What are some other means of shorting the market with relatively high risk/reward?

  • Will I receive a 1099 tax form?

    I've got an online investing account with a few hundred dollars in it. There was no activity in 2012, received no dividends, and the portfolio lost value.

    The website said I may not receive a tax form if relatively insignificant activity occurred. Should I just leave this out when filing my taxes?

  • What are some places to visit while visiting Iceland?

    I'm going with two of my friends winter 2014 (during the off-season) for 9 days. Other than Reykjavik, which destinations should we make a point to visit? Our budget for food/drink/accommodations/tourism is ~$2,300 (US dollars). This excludes plane tickets, which are already paid for.

    Note: Though we are athletic people, we are not trained to do challenging hikes, climb mountains, etc. I would love to do a hike though.

    Hot springs and northern lights are a must!

    Thank you!

  • Why can other people see better in the dark than me?

    It seems as though when I'm with people at night, I often have difficulty reading things that are far away that others can read. During the day, I don't have this issue.

    So, to avoid the answer "maybe you need glasses," imagine I'm in a line with 5 people that have completely identical vision except for their respective abilities to see at night. In the dark, those other four may be able to read a sign down the road, while I cannot. If an identical experiment were carried out during the day, we would all be able to read the sign down the road equally well (because we have identical vision).

    Why is this?

  • Microwave stopped working after sparks. What can I do?

    The microwave was purchased new in 2010. It's an Emerson. I was making a baked potato in the microwave. I wrapped it in foil, turned it on, and it wasn't getting quite as hot as I had wanted (or expected). I gave it a few more minutes. Still only somewhat warm. So I cut it open, and placed it back in the microwave with the foil. Well, the microwave began sparking and it now doesn't turn on. What did I do wrong? And is there a simple way that I can make the microwave work again?

    Thanks!

  • Job opportunities for Economics BA with hospitality background?

    I'm graduating from university next semester with an Econ BA and Business Minor. The job hunt is slow and frustrating. I would love a career as a business consultant or financial analyst.

  • outboard water pump replacement?

    When buying a new impeller or water pump replacement kit, does it have to match the exact model of the outboard (in terms of functionality and size)? I have a 1997 5hp Mercury Force outboard that may need work on the water pump. Should I be looking for a specific size impeller/repair kit? And does it have to be made by Force or Mercury? The outboard instruction manual does not get that detailed.

    Thanks!
