The banks say that the overdraft programs, which cover bounced checks and allow people to overdraw their accounts, are a service to their clients. But these overdraft programs are certainly a bad deal for consumers. Unlike typical lines of credit, which charge annual interest of up to 20 percent, the new overdraft plans charge flat fees for every processed overdraft, translating into an annual interest rate of over 1,000 percent. Unlike lines of revolving credit, which allow customers to repay the loans at their convenience, these plans require clients to bring accounts back into positive balance in only a few days. While most traditional lines of credit have limits of thousands of dollars, the new overdraft plans have limits of $100 to $300. After the overdraft is expended the banks again start bouncing checks.

If you are new to investing, or even if you've been playing the market for a while, investment options can be overwhelming. Stocks, bonds, mutual funds. How do you pick the best place to invest your money? That's quite a decision!

Here are some tips that can help you get started:

If you are planning for a long-term investment, it may be wisest to go with stocks. History shows that stocks outperform other investing options over the long term. For example, from 1926 to 2004, the stock market had an average annual gain of 10.4%, compared with only 5.4% for bonds and even less for other forms of investing.

That said, stocks may not be such a good option for short-term investing. They tend to be more risky and can undergo severe losses. Unless you're planning to keep your money there for a long time, you might not want to weather the stress of the stock market's ups and downs. Overall, a company's earnings are going to be the biggest player in a stock's fluctuation.

Odds of winning? Slim.

Trades made on wishes have no plan behind them. There is no exit strategy.
