Who In Their Right Mind Would Replace Greater Philadelphia Financial Media Guru Fred Sherman With A Former Homeless Man?
Legendary financial media guru Fred Sherman has been a fixture on local Delaware Valley radio for the past 15 years, providing financial and stock market insights to thousands of Philadelphians. This Sunday morning, however, the venerable Sherman took the microphone at WPEN 950 AM for the very last time, bringing an era in Philadelphia radio and WPEN history to a close. In his place...A homeless man from Philadelphia?

Legendary financial media guru Fred Sherman has been a fixture on local Delaware Valley radio for the past 15 years, providing financial and stock market insights to thousands of Philadelphians. This Sunday morning, however, the venerable Sherman took the microphone at WPEN 950 AM for the very last time, bringing an era in Philadelphia radio and WPEN history to a close. Sherman can still be heard on KYW News Radio 1060 every day and be seen on local TV on NBC 10, Sunday mornings at 10 a.m.
Stepping in to fill Fred Sherman's massive shoes is Jim Canale, America's Real Estate Cashflow Expert and author of the new book "Live The Real Estate Lifestyle: Seven Steps You Can Take Today To Leave the 'Rat Race' and Start Living The Lifestyle You've Always Wanted!" (AuthorHouse publication date 10/15/2007)
Canale is a successful local Real Estate Investor, an Entrepreneur, an Educator, a long running Radio Talk Show Host on WWDB 860 AM, and an Author, but that wasn't always the case. Canale started his journey toward financial liberation in the worst possible circumstances. He was living under the Frankford El, the elevated train station at Bridge and Pratt Streets in Philadelphia, as a homeless beggar. Eventually, he made his own way to success and financial freedom by seeking out the top coaches to teach him Real Estate and business skills. Today, Canale provides that same coaching to the general public through his radio programs and free live trainings.
Starting with a 900-square-foot rental home -- his first property -- less than a decade ago, Canale now owns millions of dollars worth of Real Estate all over Philadelphia, properties which throw off a large amount of monthly income that he doesn't have to work for.
Canale's a big believer that anyone can use Real Estate, regardless of market conditions, to produce passive income to secure their retirement and meet their cashflow needs of today. "The problem is", Canale says, "when most people consider real estate investing, they think back to those old, late-night infomercials with the gurus in their Hawaiian shirts making empty promises about how people would become millionaires in a only few short months." In Canale's opinion, the idea of "get rich quick" is ridiculous. "Most people don't even have a need to become a millionaire!", Canale says. "Just a small handful of rental properties, each with just $300 to $400 per month in positive cashflow, could solve almost anybody's financial problems!"
Canale sensibly asks, "At $300 profit per month, how many simple, little Real Estate deals would you need to never have to make another mortgage payment on your house? What if you never had to pay for your own groceries again? Or your cable bill, or your electric bill? This is what I mean by Living the Real Estate Lifestyle. That type of freedom and independence is life-changing! I let my Real Estate pay for all the stuff I want and need. My radio program teaches you how to do it, too."
Following in his mentors' and coaches' footsteps, Jim Canale is a major proponent of Financial Literacy and Education for adults as well as young people. Past show guests include Robert Kiyosaki, author of the New York Times bestseller Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and T. Harv Eker author of the New York Times bestseller Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. Canale has taught thousands of people all over the Delaware Valley how to achieve the same success he has found in Real Estate through his free public workshops, and his radio programs. Canale can be heard each week on WPEN 950 AM every Saturday and Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m. and on WWDB 860 AM every Monday at 10 a.m. and Thursdays at 3:00 p.m.

U.S. oil prices near all-time high
NEW YORK, Sept. 5 (UPI) --
U.S. oil prices rose further above $75 near an all-time high Wednesday on fears U.S. crude and gasoline supplies fell and OPEC won't boost production.

Light, sweet crude for October delivery rose 10 cents, or 0.13 percent, to $75.18 a barrel in mid-morning trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
October natural gas climbed 5 cents, or 0.91 percent, to $5.68 per 1,000 cubic feet.
Heating oil added 1.1 cents, or 0.53 percent, at $2.0905 a gallon.
Reformulated-gasoline blendstock for oxygen blending added 0.05 cents, or 0.03 percent, to $1.9915 a gallon.
AA said the average U.S. retail regular unleaded gasoline price was $2.792 a gallon, up 1.3 cents from Tuesday's $2.779 a gallon.

MGIC, Radian call off merger
MGIC, Radian call off merger
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 5 (UPI) --
U.S. mortgage insurers MGIC Investment Corp. and Radian Group Inc. said Wednesday they had abandoned plans to merge due to mortgage-industry troubles.
"Both MGIC and Radian believe it is in their best interests to remain independent companies at this time," the companies said in a statement.
"All outstanding litigation between the companies will be withdrawn. Neither party made a payment to the other in connection with the termination," the statement said.
The litigation followed an August announcement by Milwaukee's MGIC, the nation's largest home-loan insurer, that it wasn't obligated to complete the Radin merger announced in February because the value of the companies' Credit-Based Asset Servicing & Securitization LLC joint venture -- which creates mortgage-backed securities from mortgages of people with weak credit -- had plummeted with the U.S. subprime-mortgage crisis.
Days earlier, Radian, a Philadelphia a credit risk manager, said "unprecedented" disruptions in the market for risky mortgages might have wiped out both companies' stakes in C-BASS, valued at more than $1 billion two months earlier.
The companies' stocks, and the $4.9 billion value of their stock merger, plummeted after the announcements.
The original deal valued Radian shares at $60.78. Its shares closed at $18.11 Tuesday. MGIC shares, valued at $70.09 the day the deal was announced, closed at $30.34 Tuesday.

New York City Real Estate 101 - - Condos vs. Co-ops
What’s the Difference Between a Condominium and a Co-op?
Are you tired of paying rent and ready to purchase your own apartment? Learn about the differences between condominiums and co-op apartments and decide which one is right for you.
What is a Co-op?
In New York City, 85% of all apartments available for purchase (and almost 100% of pre-war apartments) are in co-operative buildings.
When you buy a co-op, you don’t actually own your apartment. Instead, you own shares of a co-op corporation that owns the building. The larger your apartment, the more shares within the corporation you own. Monthly maintenance fees cover building expenses including heat, hot water, insurance, staff salaries, and real estate taxes
Advantages of Buying a Co-op
# Co-ops are generally less expensive than comparable condominium apartments.
# Some of your monthly maintenance fees are tax deductible.
Disadvantages of Buying a Co-op
# All prospective purchasers must be approved by the Board of Directors.
The Board approval process is often time-consuming and rigorous -- requiring extensive information regarding finances, employment, and personal background. Even celebrities have been turned down by some selective New York co-op boards.
# Monthly maintenance fees for co-ops are much higher than for condos. This is because the monthly fee includes part of the underlying mortgage for the building.
# Many co-op boards limit the amount of the purchase price that can be financed and require higher down payments than are usually required for condominiums.
# It is harder to sub-lease a co-op. Each co-op building has its own rules, but many limit or forbid subletting.

Manhattan Apartment Building Types
Manhattan Apartment Building Types
Guide for New York City Renters
Interested in renting an apartment in Manhattan, but confused by the different types of buildings available?
In New York City, you can rent an apartment in one of three types of buildings: all rental buildings, co-op buildings, or condo buildings. They each have their own quirks, so it’s important to know the difference.
Rental Buildings
In rental buildings, one landlord owns the entire building. Make sure to ask if your apartment is “stabilized” or simply free-market. When your lease expires in a stabilized apartment, the landlord is limited to relatively small, state-sanctioned rent increases (usually 2%-3%). With a free-market apartment, just as the name implies, a landlord is free to raise the rent as he or she sees fit.
Once you’ve submitted an application, the approval process can last more than a week and will include an income and credit check (for a $30-$50 fee).
The security deposit is typically one month’s rent.
Cooperatives (Co-ops)
Here’s one of those “only in New York” things. Co-ops are buildings that are structured as corporations. Instead of “owning” an apartment, people own shares in the building (like the stock market), according to the size and value of the apartment itself.
These buildings can be a nightmare to get into (whether you’re a renter or a buyer). In Manhattan in particular, co-ops are very restrictive regarding the lease length, roommates, pets etc. Don’t be surprised if the approval process takes at a least a month. Also, you’ll need to give very extensive financial and personal info (every deep, dark secret). Steep application and move-in fees are the norm.
Condominiums (Condos)
With condo units, individual people own each apartments. The owners have a lot of leeway to establish the rent and the term of the lease. The approval process can take 1-4 weeks. Expect to pay application fees and move-in fees mandated by the condo board. The security deposit is typically one month’s rent, but can be more. If your credit is spotty, this is your best shot at an apartment. With a good “song and dance,” you might get in.
