The Chicago Board of Exchange (CBOE) has a initial public offering coming up for $25 a share. Goldman Sachs is the underwriter. I want it. Heard I could go through the underwriter, but I'm a small time investor. How can I get that stock? Looking for around 500-1000 shares.

I don't own a house, have little in the market, and I am financially responsible. Do you think it is fair to make people like me pay for other people's poor choices?

I heard the hours are both long and about the same, but the pay scale is vastly more for I-banking. Should I be jumping ship to I-banking instead of public accounting?

Besides doing my work well and having good attention to details what else can I do? Are there any value added services I can do on the job that will really make me stand out? It's pretty competitive out there, how can I be number 1.

I want a president who is for small government, low taxes, economically conservative but not crazy. Will stick to a budget. And is liberal on social issues. Is there no one out there who is conservative with the economy, but liberal with social issues?

Cant remember if it was US or Israel a few weeks ago, but I remember there was talk of a secret nuclear facility given from North Korea that was blown up. Is this just all conspiracy talk or was anything ever confirmed?

Looking to get an apartment with a couple buddies somewhere in the city, but I want to be where the action is. I'm 23 and I heard Wrigelyville and Lincoln Park were good. Where should I live to meet young professionals like me?

I'm 23 in the Chicagoland area and I'm fairly broke. could spend up to 50 bucks. anyone know of any good restaurant/things to do with this girl?

As an employer, I don't think I would have any problems hiring illegal immigrants over legal citizens due to the cost savings. My only reservation would be getting caught and punished by the government, but I think the chances of that are low. Would you have any moral dilemmas hiring an Illegal?

The only problem I have is that they don't pay taxes. Besides that is it a competition thing? Or a racism thing? or what? I mean they only take the crappy jobs like lawn care, restaraunts, construction. If people are loosing jobs in that field, don't they already have bigger problems?

I'm working right now as a CPA in Chicago and I want to further my career in business with an MBA and a business oriented law degree; but I'm not a superstar genius. I am smart, hardworking, and I believe I can do it, but am I getting in over my head. I believe it is a full year less of schooling if I do a joint program, but will I be hanging myself by second semester? Has anyone done these programs out there? Is it better just to do one at a time or suck it up and get them both done? Is the difficulty that much different in taking a joint or separate programs. I appreciate any input on the matter.

I want to go as something a little racy, but is this too over the top? I have a head cloak, candle sticks as dynamite, and a clock as a timer. Will this offend people or get me into trouble?
