Wireless tech to let cars travel without drivers
Imagine if your car could travel as part of a convoy with wireless technology guiding it, much like the carriages of a train. Last year I read in The Economist about an experiment in Europea to use a new technology called adaptive cruise control that's in some high-end cars with ...
Medical balance billing may be damaging your credit
Medical debt is damaging the credit of right around 30 million people, according to the latest figures I've seen. What floors me about this problem is how it's both completely stealth and something that's so easily fixed once you know about it. You would expect that damaged credit because of ...
Why having a will is necessary and how to get one in place
What are the odds you don't have a will? Best guess is that 50% of people don't have one. For some folks, that may be OK, especially if they're single, have nothing and own nothing. But if you do have kids, you need a will for the simple fact that ...
Americans figure out how to thrive in lean times
America has its mojo back as more and more people learn to survive and even thrive in lean times. There's a national spirit of resiliency we have that I see when talking to people about opportunities they're seizing when opening their own business, or coming up with new ways to ...
Clark's rules for controlling spending in stores
If you need to stop your spending in stores, I've got ways for you to do it. I saw a disturbing stat recently that one in five Americans is living his or her life upside down by owing more than what they have. Even after what we've been through the ...
Busting up the big banks is the solution to 'Too Big To Fail'
The big banks that played such a key role in the Great Recession are a hazard to the health of our country and need to busted up into smaller, regional entities. We in the country are in the midst of a multiyear recovery from a 'Made in America' financial mess ...
Cram charges on your cell phone bill
There could be a scam lurking in your cell phone bill that's ugly yet so preventable. As more and more Americans disconnect their landlines, criminals have migrated to where the opportunity is (the cell phone industry) and with them has gone the "cram." "Cramming" is the practice where crooks will ...
Housing market doing better than headlines indicate
Housing continues on an uptick in the United States despite the depressing headlines. I just picked up a newspaper and saw the headline, "Foreclosures show no sign of decline." If you only read the headlines, you'd think we're still in the midst of a downward spiral. But you'd be mistaken. ...
Verizon ends unlimited data for mobile customers
The days of treating data consumption like an all-you-can-eat buffet are becoming numbered -- temporarily at least. We have become so used to consuming Internet as we wish. But if you go back in time, you may remember in the dial-up days that you initially paid for the amount of ...
Smart buying decisions right now on automobiles
Decreasing gas prices and midyear model changeovers are two factors creating some unique buying opportunities right now in the car market. First, on the gas price front, we've probably all seen the prices at the pump dropping. I've already predicted that prices in some of the lowest-cost markets could start ...
Eating healthy food may be cheaper than you think
Eating healthy may be cheaper than you think, according to a new report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The government study determined "cheap food that provides few nutrients may actually be 'expensive' for the consumer from a nutritional economy perspective, whereas food with a higher retail price that provides ...
Is the Facebook IPO more hazard or opportunity?
Facebook's initial public offering (IPO) is the hottest one of recent years. But is this an opportunity or is this trouble for you? I Googled 'Facebook' a little while ago and found more than 46,000 news stories on the IPO. The price has been pushed up and the number of ...
Chase now facing criminal probe
As anger mounts against JPMorgan Chase, now comes word that there's a criminal investigation into $2 billion of speculative gambling losses because company traders tried to hedge their bets against the marketplace. At a recent Chase shareholder meeting, people were practically throwing pies at pictures of chief executive Jamie Dimon. ...

Most callers love Clark and rave how his advice helped them. But what about those who say, "What was he talking about? Clark stinks!" For all of you, Clark has set up the Clark Stinks message board where you can post any grievances, gripes or beef you have with the ...
Clark talks fears over Greece, Europe
Fears about Greece going down the drain are driving down stock prices. But how will the European debt crisis hit us here at home? Greece is in a severe depression. Those citizens who are pensioners are in terrible shape, some just one step away from starvation. This tragedy has been ...
Renting out your home or car comes with insurance hassles
Renting out your home or car for extra cash could leave you in a lot of financial hot water with your insurer. I've talked in the past about sites like VRBO.com, HomeAway.com and Airbnb.com as way to get a deal if you're looking for a rental, but also as a ...
Warning signs of investment scams
What's behind the continuing lure of Ponzi schemes? I think it's that we want to believe the path to El Dorado is easy. I believe it's an oversimplification to say it's all just about greed. It's really that we want things to be easy, we want that one answer that ...
Rising motorcycle sales signal economic recovery
There's an unusual and very loud economic indicator that says we are definitely in a recovery: Motorcycles! I read in The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that motorcycle manufacturers are booming right now. That's a big changed from when we went into the Great Recession five years ago. At that time, motorcycle ...
Bonds may seem safe, but are they really?
Are you among those investors who ran to bond funds for safe harbor when the stock market went topsy-turvy? Those who did so generally saw nice rewards from making the move. But there is a hidden danger that I want to make you aware of. When interest rates rise, the ...
Are you being harassed over an old VHS rental late fee?
More than three million people are being harassed over debts of dubious origin from the defunct video rental chains Hollywood Video and Movie Gallery. When these chains went bust, their collection records were apparently in complete disarray. The collection agency that has been attempting to track down alleged debtors has ...
