			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="PreviewContent">Follow Penny Stocks Alert on Your Cellphone. Trading stocks is a tricky business. The team at <a href="http://cellphonetradealert.com/">www.cellphonetradealerts .com</a><br />
came up with a way to simplify things, a way to provide expert and timely trading advice to the stock enthusiast.</p>
<p>In reasearching stock tips for the Penny stocks I visited many websites claiming to be the best. Two websites contained information that helped my trading. My advice is to do your own due dillegence but still take a look at<br />
at www.celltradealert.com and www.globalinvestmentalert.com.</p>
<p>Here is an example of what I found on the alerts and how I benefited.</p>
<p>Quest Minerals &amp; Mining was UP 40%.</p>
<p>PATERSON, N.J., Oct 29, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) — Quest Minerals &amp; Mining Corp. (Pink Sheets:QMIN) (Frankfurt:QMNMB.F), a Kentucky based operator<br />

six separate directional headings, have increased in height ranging from 40? to 44?, to a now 42? to 55.”<br />
Eugene Chiaramonte, Jr., President of Quest, noted, “This is just fantastic. The coal seams are more than 10 inches higher than they were two weeks ago!<br />
These optimal conditions provide a positive outlook towards concluding the year with some excellent production results.”<br />

<p class="storycontent">By definition a preferred lender list is a list of lenders that a college suggests its students consider when taking out federally guaranteed loans. Students who receive a “preferred lender” list from a school should remember that those lists are not legally binding. Borrowers can choose from any federally approved lender and may often find a better deal outside the list.</p>
<p>As some of you may recall a handful of lenders were sanctioned for deceptive loan practices a couple of years ago. Among other things, they were sharing a portion of their loan revenue with the school’s financial aid office, which is a clear code of conduct violation. These financial aid officers were guiding students toward loan products that would offer them kickbacks. Fortunately for students today these unethical practices have come to a halt.</p>
<p>Heavy fines were levied and the Sunshine Act was born. The Sunshine Act protects students and parents from exploitation by private lenders and lenders who offer gifts to colleges as a way to secure loan business.</p>
<p>Keep in mind it is not a violation for a school to have a preferred lender list provided they are not reaping financial gains. So it is up to you if you are enrolled at a FFELP school. You can thumb through the schools preferred list or travel outside that list in search of your own lender to service your Stafford loan and Parent Plus loan.</p>

<p>Under Income-Based Repayment, your required monthly payment is capped at an amount that&#8217;s intended to be affordable based on your income and family size.<br />
Federal student loans eligible under the plan:</p>
<p>• Stafford loans – the main federal loan for students.</p>
<p>• Grad PLUS loans.</p>
<p>• Most federal consolidation loans.</p>
<p>Loans not eligible:</p>
<p>• Parent PLUS [Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students] loans.</p>
<p>• Federal consolidation loans that include Parent PLUS loans.</p>
<p>• Private loans.</p>
<p>All eligible loans must be in good standing.</p>
<p>&#8220;We know many graduates are concerned about their ability to repay student loans in the current economic environment,&#8221; said Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. &#8220;This new plan addresses the issue head-on by giving them the option of a monthly payment tied to their income.&#8221;</p>
<p>The new repayment plan caps the monthly payments at a percentage of a borrower&#8217;s discretionary income. The payment amount is adjusted yearly, based on changes in annual income and family size.</p>
<p>Specifically, the program caps payments at 15 percent of the amount by which your adjusted gross income exceeds 150 percent of the federal poverty line for your family size.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an example from Mark Kantrowitz, a national expert on student financial aid and publisher of FinAid.org and FastWeb.com:</p>
<p>Say a single borrower has $40,000 in federal education loans and an adjusted gross income of $30,000 a year. The 2009 poverty line for a single person is $10,830, and 150 percent of that is $16,245.</p>
<p>The repayment cap on monthly payments would be 15 percent of $13,755 ($30,000 minus $16,245) divided by 12 months, or $171.94 a month.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is considerably lower than the $460.32 a month which would be required under standard 10-year repayment or the $277.63 a month which would be required under extended 25-year repayment,&#8221; Kantrowitz said.</p>
<p>Income-based repayment is best for borrowers who have high debt relative to their income, but even borrowers with a lower debt-to-income ratio may benefit.</p>
<p>Even though the program is a good deal for financially strapped borrowers, you should understand other effects of the plan.</p>
<p>&#8220;It increases the repayment term up to 25 years, which increases the total interest paid over the life of the loan,&#8221; Kantrowitz said.</p>
<p>However, after 25 years of making the lower payments, borrowers&#8217; remaining loan balances, including interest, will be completely forgiven.</p>
<p>For borrowers who enter public service fields, such as nursing, public interest law or nonprofit work, their debts will be forgiven after 10 years of service and loan payments.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is the first time in the Federal Family Education Loan Program that there is forgiveness for a borrower&#8217;s unpaid balance after the 25 years of payments,&#8221; said Patricia Scherschel, vice president at Sallie Mae, the nation&#8217;s largest student loan lender. &#8220;The plan has the ability to offer a low payment – a payment as low as zero dollars for those folks who really have low income compared to what their monthly debt burden would be for those loans.&#8221;</p>
<p>To apply, contact your lender or your loan servicing company, which collects your loan payments.</p>

<p>Borrowers have 25 years to repay under this plan, the unpaid portion will then be forgiven. However, you may have to pay income tax on the amount that is forgiven.</p>
<p>This program takes effect July 1, and graduate and professional student PLUS borrowers in the Direct Loan program are eligible to use the ICR repayment plan. Direct Loan parent PLUS borrowers are not eligible for the ICR repayment plan.</p>
