| I See APR On My Credit Card Statement. What Does APR Mean? Posted: 16 Sep 2010 07:50 AM PDT APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate, and it's the fixed percentage of interest that you must pay to the credit card company yearly in exchange for using their money. In order to calculate your monthly periodic rate (the amount you must pay the credit card company every month whenever you fail to pay off the balance by the due date), all you need to do is divide your APR by 12.

| Without Freedom Of Information, Who Will Keep The Regulators Honest? Posted: 16 Sep 2010 04:36 AM PDT Information is everything.
Without access to information, how can we ever learn the full and true stories currently buried beneath our financial and economic landscape. Unearthing information through every means possible is a tedious but necessary pursuit if we are ever to learn our mistakes and failings of the past so we can improve our economic standing in the future. While those in Washington would maintain that they are charged with unearthing this information, there is little doubt that the American populace at large has little confidence in the rigor of that pursuit. The greatest of Jesuit principles instilled in me from my days at Holy Cross is the 'never ending pursuit of the truth.' That pursuit brings us today to a story which has received significant coverage here at Sense on Cents but not nearly enough coverage elsewhere. Let's navigate as The Wall Street Journal writes, SEC Looks to Allay Fears on FOIA Limits,…..
Which documents? If we knew the exact documents wouldn't we learn the true intent and desires of the SEC and those in Congress who passed the initial legislation? … [visit site to read more]
