Financial Expert Reveals Your Safest Investment

Andrew Tobias, author of the perennial best-seller The Only Investment Guide You�ll Ever Need, unequivocally says the best and safest �investment� in the world is to pay off your high-interest credit card balances. He explains that not having to pay 20% interest on a credit card is as good as earning 20% tax-free, risk-free � it�s phenomenal!

Yet according to Bernice Kanner, a columnist for financial media giant Bloomberg LP and author of Are You Normal About Money, contends that  only 49% of Americans pay their credit-card bills in full to avoid the high interest charged. While American Express reports an incredible 43% of small-business owners use their high interest, credit cards� revolving credit to help sustain their operations.

Plus the card issuers are putting the squeeze on customers by boosting late fees, which have climbed 146% since 1994, to $35. So take action by making plans now. Put extra effort into your barter endeavors, to free up additional cash. Then you can make the best, safest �investment� in the world � systematically paying off your high interest credit cards.

Reclaiming Customers Can Get Some Quick Profits!

Marketing consultant George Walther says most businesses waste too much time trying to land new customers, when they could be making much more money reclaiming former ones.

�Customers who have walked out or fallen away are a major source of profits left untapped by most companies. The fact is former customers know who you, thought enough of you to buy, and could without much effort be induced to do so again.�

Incredibly, 68% of those customers who drop off do so simply because they sense indifference. Walther contends that most customers leave our conveyor belts because we don�t show them how important they are.

His suggestion: Call them!
