Gowell Health Tips, You’ll be glad you did. This is the most important step. You must get your body composition tested, and you must commit to judging your progress by your body composition results – not what your weight is on the scale. GowellHealthTips means focusing on your body fat percentage instead of your weight. By determining your progress with useful metrics like this and lean body mass, you will be equipped with the knowledge you need to get the results you want faster and smarter. One of the quickest and easiest methods to determine body composition and find numbers like body fat percentage is to use a device that uses BIA technology. For many years, these devices weren’t accurate enough to give reliable body fat percentage results, but that has changed in recent years. Depending on how you determine body fat,

City Credit Union promo 48 moth 4% CD: Ended 4/15/2019
The story of "meant to be".

I happened on this near the time it was offered around March 26. I learned that the IRA CD must be opened at a branch in person with an FBO check in hand. First I easily on-line opened a savings account after joining the DHS. The funds I chose to use for the IRA CD were at Fidelity in a Treasury ETF, so I sold and waited for settlement. When the cash was available in the account I completed the Fidelity form requesting the FBO check be mailed to me. Fidelity required a medallion signature on the form which I acquired at my bank (with much more bureaucratic difficulty than I thought reasonable). I mailed the form to Fidelity next day mail. Fidelity was quite responsive and mailed me the check within a very few days.

Now for the interesting part. I live in Virginia and booked a flight leaving at 6:00 am for Dallas and returning at 6:45 pm same day on 4/26. I had to get up at 2:30 am to make the flight. Before I left I checked the City CU website and the promo CD had been taken down. As I left I told my wife I'd missed it by a day and expected to open a MMKT account and move the money ASAP or possibly get Fidelity to void the check (just a thought). I arrived at Dallas and took a UBER to the main branch on Ferguson Avenue. I arrived at their door about 10 minutes before they opened, then checked in at the welcome desk and was told to wait until my name was called. In the lobby there was an electronic sign advertising rates and to my great surprise and elation the 48 month 4% promo CD was there! So wow, I'm not too late. What a relief. My name called I was greeted by a very friendly representative and went back to her office. I explained my purpose, presented my ID and check. I told her of my trek from VA, that I was a bit tired, and very glad to know the promo CD was still available and was assured it was. Half way through the paper work the question of "direct transfer" versus "rollover" came up and she said she should check with her boss. I'm thinking I obviously prefer direct transfer but a once a year rollover is just fine here. I'm waiting for a while totally unaware of the discussion they were having. The boss knew the promo had ended yesterday. She did not know since she was off the previous day and was not informed the promo CD was no longer available. Maybe the sign in the lobby was the deciding factor but she argued my case and I did get the promo CD. Almost a miracle.

Three things:

1) I decided to go to the main branch on Ferguson Ave. There was one closer to the airport. Would I have had the good fortune to encounter a representative elsewhere that was unaware that the promo CD was not over? Would there have been a "boss" with the authority to approve the issuance of the CD given the circumstances?

2) The sign in the lobby still offering the promo CD. Would I have seen one elsewhere?

3) Arriving all the way flying in from from VA before the branch opened. Somewhere in the morning this oversight would have been corrected.

Hello Peter,

Just wondering where your thoughts are on Streetshares....? I realize that is a very open ended question, but it's intentional. Interested in knowing your sentiments regarding ongoing investment with this company.

Thanks for your diligence.

I wish I knew more about China. I feel like the potential is huge over there. Does anyone know of a company that serves sort of as a middle-man over there?

And people think LC is risky!

China P2P Lending Crackdown May See 70% of Firms Close

The number of Chinese peer-to-peer lenders may drop by 70 percent this year, a research firm that tracks the industry says, as the nation intensifies a crackdown on riskier forms of financing.

As few as 300 companies will remain by the end of the year, according to an estimate from Shanghai-based Yingcan Group. The number of operators dropped by more than 50 percent to 1,021 during 2018, it said, adding that there’s been no new entrants into the market since August.

Chinese leaders are dramatically shrinking a market that spawned the nation’s biggest Ponzi scheme, protests in major cities, and life-altering losses for thousands of savers. Authorities are planning to wind down small- and medium-sized P2P lending platforms nationwide, people with knowledge of the matter had earlier said.
