The New York Post reports that actor and heartthrob Matt Damon could use TMF Money Advisor. Er, not really, but the Post reports that Damon has learned some hard lessons after being caught up in a Ponzi scheme. In fact, he was shrewd enough to forgo a payday upfront and negotiate 8% of the gross profit from his current movie, Ocean’s Eleven – which might end up taking in half a billion dollars worldwide. Just watch out how those gross margins are calculated, Matt! Apparently Damon’s one-time girlfriend, Winona Ryder, got caught in the same Ponzi scheme and lost more money than Damon – which could explain why she allegedly has been shoplifting at Saks Fifth Avenue. Ryder made an appearance in court on Thursday, offering a smoking defense – a friend of hers told E! TV she was carrying some things she was considering buying when she stepped outside for a butt. Our recommendation to all celebrities who have trouble managing their money: think index fund. The Motley Fool 50 Index finished the day down half a percent. For the week the index shed about 2%. |

Greeley, Colo., man buys car online for $69,900 and gets big lemon.
Here's a classic story of a car sale gone bad -- with a high-tech twist. Car is listed for sale. Man researches, then buys car and gets a lemon. Buyer wants refund; seller refuses, claiming the car was sold "as is." But buyer and seller have never met face to face and they are 2,000 miles apart, connected only by the click of a computer mouse, relying on promises made in cyberspace. And this wasn't just any car. It was a 1996 Ferrari F355 Spider Convertible, an exotic Italian sports car. According to a lawsuit filed recently in Weld District
Values, points of view separate towns
If you voted for President Bush in 2000, you might well live in a place like Franklin, Tenn., a sprawling Sun Belt suburb with a distinct Bible Belt flavor. Its horse and dairy farms are giving way to subdivisions and strip malls, but its values remain rooted in tradition. Donna Reed and Fred MacMurray would have seemed right at home in Montclair, N.J., where street after street is lined with big shade trees, well-tended gardens and perfectly painted Victorian and Tudor homes. But the 1950s look belies an urban sensibility that was the common denominator among people who voted for
Target Those Who Prey on Elderly.(Op-Ed)
There is a particular type of criminal who chooses to prey upon senior citizens. Where we see an individual who believes that a handshake is as binding as any contract, they see a "sucker." Where we applaud the effort that seniors put into building a retirement nest egg, these crooks see a basket of money waiting to be raided. They show no respect for infirmities that we all face as we get older, rather, these predators will pay high prices for phone lists that contain names of...
Creative Consumer: Lemon Laws
To the general public, a "lemon" is slang for a crummy car — one that gives you a sour feeling and puts a grimace on your face. To the government, a lemon is a crummy new car. This distinction causes a lot of confusion. Plenty of consumers contact me to complain about the lemons they've bought. The first thing I always ask is "New or used?" The callers always seem surprised. I guess they're wondering what could be wrong with a new car. The answer is plenty. More : abcnews.go.com
Lemon aid for PCs gone sour.
The fast-evolving personal computer industry is on the cusp of catching up with an important 1970s-era advance in consumer protection: the lemon law. Despite rapid progress with better PCs, consumers still face a risk of buying a defective machine. Five percent of desktop PCs sold since 1996 were dead on arrival--totally inoperable when buyers set them up--according to a survey of more than 54,000 CONSUMER REPORTS readers last spring. Another 11 percent of these PCs had serious problems in the first month of ownership. What happens when your computer is a dud? Good luck getting your money back from the
