Entrepreneurs are at risk not only of being gouged by creditors with excessive interest rates and fees, there are also so-called “loan experts” that may be more dangerous.

If you find a company that promises to get you a cash loan in exchange for an up-front fee, beware.  I have worked with hundreds of clients who prior to coming to us had been taken by one of these so-called loan expert companies.  Their scam follows a pattern: When you call or fill out an online form for funding, they lead you to believe they have a lender that can help.  They put you through the hassle of filling out document after document.  At times they’ll even say you’re approved but add that they “just need one more document.”  Then, just before you get the money, they call and say the lender is charging some unforeseen fees and in order to finish the process they just need X number of dollars sent by check or wire.

I have had clients spend as much as $200,000 looking for a $20,000,000 line of credit.  In most cases, these companies require between $5,000 and $25,000 in fees before they can “release funds.”  Then you never hear from them again and in a few months the business phone lines and contact information show they are out of business.  By then they’ve moved to a new location and are taking money from someone else.

Take my advice: When you hear a guarantee of a line of credit or cash loan in exchange for an upfront fee, just stay away.

My friend and stock market analyst with Market Club, Adam, will share with you his reading of the S&P 500 chart.

You already saw my reading of the S&P 500 stock chart and best guess for July therefore why am I presenting to you an additional technical analysis video on the S&P 500 stock chart?

I’m of the attitude that you can not watch enough technical analysis vids. Everyone has their particular technique and approach when evaluating charts and so try and see as many technical analysis videos as you can. One market analyst could focus on what another technical analyst just briefly mentions.

Make note of the frequent threads or main points you see and hear talked about in various market analysis vids. You will discover that when 2 or 3 unique stock analysts talk about the similar thing in a chart, it’s a good idea for you to keep your eye on that distinct formation or price level.

If you are a technical analyst yourself, and I hope you are as my aim is to teach you as much as I can on how to become one, then studying technical analysis vids from various analysts will help you in your own trading and in creating your own content for your website, video, or just to talk about with family and friends.

In this video, Adam takes a swift look at the S&P 500. He

Considering bankruptcy could be a good idea, but your individual situation and the way you go about filing for bankruptcy will determine if bankruptcy is the smart move for you.

1. Remember that bankruptcy can stay on your credit report for as long as ten years (a minimum of seven). This means that you will have less access to credit, high interest rates to pay when you do get credit, and you may lose out on certain housing and employment opportunities.

2. You may be able to pursue other options, such as debt settlement, mortgage refinancing, debt consolidation, foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, short sale, etc. Talk to an a licensed credit counselor to get a better idea of the options available to you, their consequences, and their costs.

3. Don’t forget, as you consider your options, that most retirement accounts are excluded from bankruptcy proceedings. As such, liquidating your 401(k) to pay your debts, for instance, will work against you in the long run, especially if you end up filing bankruptcy anyway.

4. I
