The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog is the premier advocate in the United States for investor protection, and due diligence for high net worth individuals. The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog is warning all US, and global investors to be extremely cautious when buying precious metal coins, and or gold, and silver bars. The group estimates that Chinese gold, or silver precious metal counterfeiting is now a multi billion dollar a year global business, and it is a investor train wreck waiting to happen. The group says, “We already know Chinese counterfeit precious metal coins, or precious metal bars is a gigantic business, there is tons of money in it for the bad guys, and the Chinese counterfeit coins, or precious metal bars are frequently of such high quality, it is not uncommon for even the pros to be deceived, or tricked. We say precious metals should be part of every investors, of families investment portfolio. However, we are also saying do not do business with any precious metal dealer, or gold, or silver coin retailer unless you can establish they are legitimate, and you can confirm they have a written money back guarantee policy, for their customers. Chinese counterfeit precious metal coins, and gold, or silver bars, are going to ruin many investors, and this is going to get ugly. Do not become a victim.” http://WallStreetFraudWatchdog.Com

Wall Street Fraud Watchdog’s Do’s & Do Not’s When It Comes To Buying Precious Metal Coins, Or Precious Metal Bars.

Only purchase precious metal coins, or precious metal bars from dealers, or brokers with impeccable reputations, and that have a written money back guarantee.
Be certain to keep all of your receipts for purchase of any gold, or silver coin, and or precious metal bar.
Do not buy gold, or silver coins, and or precious metal bars from dealers selling them on the Internet, or at an Internet auction web site.
Do not buy gold, or silver coins at flea markets, or at estate sales.

The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog is all about investor protection, and the group is now saying, “Chinese counterfeit precious metal coins, or precious metal bars are going to be another global economic disaster. We think owning precious metals is very smart. However, because of the huge threat posed by Chinese counterfeiters, an investor really needs to know who they are buying their precious metals from. Because there are bigger potential profits in counterfeiting gold, or silver coins, or precious metal bars, than in cocaine, or heroin we expect counterfeiting precious metal products is going to get much worse than it already is.” http://WallStreetFraudWatchdog.Com

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 18, 2011

Susan Richman and OCD Chicago president Jeanne Ettelson will attend the publication launch party. Oxford Messed Up is the story of a couples journey from sickness to health and from fear to freedom. It will be available in hardcover, paperback, Kindle, iBooks and Nook editions.

Author Andrea Kayne Kaufman is a professor and attorney who earned a bachelors degree from Vassar College, a masters degree in Education from Harvard University and her Juris Doctor from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Oxford Messed Up, her first novel, promises to transport readers on a meaningful and emotional journey, where the academic world of Oxford is a backdrop for true learning, self-discovery, and transcendent love. The novel is research-based, and has been vetted by OCD experts, including OCD Chicagos founder Susan Richman, who say it is one of the first novels to present the inner workings and treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder accurately. Most depictions in fiction, television, and movies focus on OCDs eccentric behavior and ignore the internal torture.

Praising Oxford Messed Up, Susan Richman stated, Finally, a story that shows how powerful Cognitive Behavior Therapy really is, and a protagonist who is so much more than her OCD This book accurately and finally portrays the recovery that is possible when OCD is treated correctly. Thank you, Andrea Kayne Kaufman, on behalf of all of us who struggle with anxiety, and on behalf of all of us searching for healing, growth and a beautiful love story!

Susan A. Richman, J.D., the founder, past president and honorary chair of OCD Chicago, developed OCD very suddenly and severely at the age of 28 and could neither work nor live on her own during the three years in which she received ineffective treatment. She recovered after three weeks of exposure and response prevention therapy. Ms. Richman founded OCD Chicago so that others could learn about and access effective treatment without wasting years of their lives. Ms. Richman was graduated first in her class from Northwestern University with a degree in economics and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society. She received her law degree from the University of California Hastings College of the Law, where she was elected to the Order of the Coif. She has practiced real estate law in Chicago and currently works in farm and ranch management.

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is the fourth most common psychiatric diagnosis, after phobias, substance abuse and major depression. The World Health Organization, the World Bank and Harvard University ranked OCD among the 10 leading causes of disability worldwide. It equally affects adults and children of all races, religions and socioeconomic backgrounds.

OCD Chicago, the leading provider of consumer resources to help sufferers cope with and conquer OCD, supports the informational and emotional needs of people with OCD, their families, educators, clergy, and the mental health professionals who treat them.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 20, 2011

Clopton Capital provides working capital and is located in Chicago, IL. They primarily focus on commercial mortgages, SBA loans and niche financing mechanisms such as gas station loans and commercial bridge loans. The founder of Clopton Capital is Jake Clopton and this press release is part of Clopton Capital’s consistent effort to remain involved with the public, namely their future clients. Clopton Capital can be contacted at CloptonCapital.com.

Clopton Capital has recently launched an online marketing campaign which makes the debate that commercial loan debt to provide adequate working capital to a business is far better than going in default. The idea is to generate awareness and proselytize business owners and commercial real estate owners of the idea that it’s completely sensible to carry long term low interest debt in exchange for making a greater income in the short term. The firm has an intrinsic belief and self interest in promoting this concept as it’s their business to provide commercial financing services. Debt if it’s controlled and easily serviced is not a four letter word. Sensible leverage is the key to attaining tremendous wealth in my opinion, said Jake Clopton, the founder of Clopton Capital.

Clopton Capital is using this campaign primarily to promote SBA loans. Thick or thin SBA loans are often the best way to get the business loan you need, said Matt Reed, an associate of Clopton Capital.

The firm’s stated goal is to become the most well known commercial lender on the Internet and to expand into a stronger offline presence thereafter. The firm currently utilizes link trading as one of their promotion methods and always entertains reciprocal linking from relevant sites.

Clopton Capital can be contacted at their website CloptonCapital.com or at 866.647.1650 during regular business hours central time. Their website contains more specific information about their commercial loan products. Their page dedicated to working capital loans is CloptonCapital.com/workingcapital.html.

San Diego, California (PRWEB) November 23, 2011

The San Diego bankruptcy lawyers at the law firm of the Golden State Law Group, a firm of attorneys who have dedicated themselves to providing legal help to consumers who need it in the form of bankruptcy protection and other financial problems, hereby announces that the firm is offering a free initial consultation to the thousands of homeowners in San Diego County who may still be facing foreclosure despite the recent news that the number of foreclosures in the county is dropping.

According to statistics provided by DataQuick, a service that tracks the real estate market and foreclosures, there were 5,048 foreclosures completed in San Diego County during the recently completed third quarter. Some have described this as positive news because this number represented a drop in the number of foreclosures from the third quarter in 2010, when 5,869 properties were foreclosed upon. This does represent a drop of 14 percent, but remains a large number.

Fortunately, when people face foreclosure, they still may have legal rights and options that include filing for certain types of bankruptcy protection or working directly with the lender to adjust the terms of the mortgage so that the home can either be saved or even sold without the homeowner paying an enormous financial penalty both in terms of cash and in terms of his or her credit rating.

Thats why the San Diego bankruptcy lawyers at the Golden State Law Group are offering this free initial consultation for local homeowners, as no two situations are ever exactly alike and any potential solution to this serious problem begins with a close and thorough analysis of the homeowners overall financial picture.

About the Golden State Law Group

The Golden State Law Group is a law firm thats comprised of San Diego bankruptcy attorneys who have helped consumers in financial trouble deal with bankruptcy issues that include Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases, Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases, tax debt issues, mortgage issues and San Diego car accident cases.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 23, 2011

Publisher Fastpencil, Inc. announces release of Consumer Advocate & Foreclosure Specialist Michael R. Bang’s latest book; Walk Away.

As many Americans are facing difficult times after the recent and continuing market housing crash and economic downturn, some industry specialists are stepping forward to speak up for consumers and turn misfortune into an opportunity for education. This includes Michael R. Bangs recently released Walk AwayHow to Strategically Default on an Underwater Mortgage.

The book goes into great detail about how the banking system works, how a mortgage plays into that system and the vast avenues available to a consumer underwater or facing foreclosure, from a loan modification all the way to how to simply walk away from a home if you can no longer afford to keep it and your sanity, Michael R. Bang, Consumer Activist and Foreclosure Specialist from The Vortex Reality Vibration LLC., said. Many homeowners are having their rights violated by the banking industry or their emplyees, its often illegal and shameful.

Bang has been a licensed real estate agent for 10 years and a rental investor for over 15. He became a foreclosure specialist, selling properties for banks in 1999 and in 2000 launched Georgia Foreclosure, Inc., (http://www.gaforeclosure.com) a site dedicated to providing investors and potential homeowners access to distressed properties on the market (properties owned and for sale by lenders after foreclosure has occurred).

He also became a well known expert in Atlanta on the standards and practices of by banks used to foreclose. In 2008 he was bewildered to see the amount of fraudulent tactics and misrepresentation asset managers were flagrantly using to foreclose. Examples included robo-signing, re-creating documents that had been lost, violating cease and desist orders or simply foreclosing on home they didn’t even own. Often, had the homeowner been aware of the improper acts, and known how to fight back, the foreclosure could have been stopped dead in it’s tracks thereby saving the home.

Since the 2008 housing crash, Bang has turned his expertise to consumer advocacy and has worked with individuals who are unaware of their options in the face of foreclosure.

The mantra of the banks and their agents is that you have a moral obligation to pay your mortgage when, in point of fact, it’s nothing more than a contract which can be voided at any time, Bang said. This book is a How To guide for personal well being and doing what’s right for the individual and their family; it gives readers a sense of security and freedom to fight back.

Real Estate Agents work from their cars, their personal home offices, their broker’s office and anywhere a deal happens to take them. Yet, finding the homebuyers or sellers is the art of the game. It is not easy to be a realtor, but some realtors are successful in even in a down market. These individuals do not sit around and wait for the phone to ring they make it ring. They are out at public events, churches, clubs and talking to everyone about what the market is doing and gaining leads. They are also talking to lenders and asking if they have any referrals. Some lenders and realtors create a working plan whereby they refer each other for business, and may even share in some advertising costs.

Though looking for leads is a never-ending task, a professional realtor will also be knowledgeable in the current market, mortgages available, basic upgrade costs for a home and the local businesses in the area. A successful real estate agent will be expected to know about the schools and the recreation that the area has to offer, but it does not stop there they have to factor in commuting time and local transit, if desired. A well-rounded and educated realtor is what sets him apart from an agent that just “shows” homes. When someone is relocating and she is unfamiliar with the area, she wants a knowledgeable realtor. A good transaction will set that realtor up with more word of mouth advertising and leads.

Tips for Finding Leads

Use your social networking site to offer your services. Mention when you are doing an open house, have a home on the market or that you just saw a wonderful home come on the market, which was below comps. Do not go overboard with this. Keep it friendly and polite.
Talk to lenders and ask them if they would like to swap referrals. If you have a lender that you enjoy and your clients have used in the past, then you can refer him when your buyer has not secured a lender. The lender can refer you when he finds that someone is looking for a home, but has not secured a realtor yet. Make sure that the lender can benefit you. Also, think about sharing the cost of marketing with the lender. You both can split the fee and showcase each other on the marketing material.
Get active in your community. Start signing up for local charities that you believe in, if you attend church let people know what you do and what type of market the area is in. Talk to everyone, but watch your words. You do not want to come off as a used car salesperson. Talk about a great home that is has a special feature or renovation projects. Those types of conversations earn people’s attention.
Build a website or have a professional do it for you. Have local information readily available on your site such as schools, public transportation and parks. Keep it updated with a question and answer blog. This will help prospects find you. Many homebuyers look to the internet for help, before they ever place a call to a broker.
Stay up to date on trends and home renovation ideas. Visit your local home store to view and check for pricing information. Get a feel for the size and pricing of things like a hot water heaters, tiles, and windows. Realtors that know “about how much” putting granite in the kitchen would cost or the or the cost of replacing a door is what “do it yourself” buyers are looking for. Market yourself in a way that states on your business cards and marketing material that you can help homebuyers that are looking for a fixer upper.  Also, be able to give referrals from local contractors who would be willing to come in and give a good faith estimate. Contractors are a great tool to aid you in marketing and promotion.
