  2. March 4 (Bloomberg) — The agricultural price rally of 2008 unleashed riots in more than 30 countries and forced companies into bankruptcy. It lasted five months. The latest rise in commodity prices, which has already helped topple regimes in Tunisia and Egypt, may last many more months, if not years.

    “If you are not scared, you are not paying attention” says David Nelson, a global strategist in the food and agribusiness research advisory unit of Rabobank in Chicago.

    I like that quote. Anyone have any good Sheenisms today?

  3. “But I don’t think this applies to most folks with poor credit histories”

    Yeah, my brother overextended himself with credit, couldn’t pay his taxes, declared bankruptcy, got money from my dad to pay his taxes (since lien isn’t discharged in bankruptcy), he took that money and paid back his off-record creditors (or just pocketed it), and then luckily had a job with wages to garnish when the IRS caught up to him which kept him out of jail.

    The credit report reflects the bankruptcy which at least gives a tiny bit of insight into the whole story.

  4. Rob – HR Block does something called a Rapid refund loan which is in essence a loan for the money you are supposed to get from the IRS
    if you think that the money that you are supposed to get as a refund is 100% correct – then yes you can use that type of service as your IRS refund would then get sent to them and not you to pay back the loan. I think they will charge you something like $75…..

  5. i can just walk into an H&R block and then do what tho? just hand them the completed tax forms and they will give me a check? do you have to pay them the fee up front before they hand you the check? or do they just deduct this?
