Foreclosure Filings Down to Lowest Level Since 2007

iStockPhoto/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) -- Is the foreclosure crisis in the U.S. nearing its end? New numbers out Thursday by RealtyTrac show that foreclosure activity is down to a near five-year low across the country.

"In April 2012, there were less than 189,000 properties with foreclosure filings during the month. That was a 57-month low. That's the lowest level we've seen since July 2007," says Daren Blomquist with RealtyTrac.

Blomquist credits the decrease partly to banks being more willing to work with struggling homeowners.

"More properties that would have become foreclosures otherwise are actually becoming short sales. The lenders are becoming much more aggressive in agreeing to short sales," he explains.

This has likely helped lead to a drop in the number of filings in the West. Foreclosure activity is down in Arizona, California and Nevada -- states that were hard hit by the foreclosure crisis -- according to RealtyTrac.

But, Blomquist cautions homeowners are not out of the woods yet.

"It's not that foreclosures have completely gone away by any means, but at least they're heading in the right direction and finally have kind of gotten through this very big batch of bad loans that triggered the foreclosure crisis in the first place," he says.

And while the outlook has improved on the West coast, the picture is grimmer towards the East. Filings are up year over year in Florida, Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, RealtyTrac reports.?

Facebook's IPO: What It Means For You

LOIC VENANCE/AFP/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- At the same time the price and public clamor for Facebook's blockbuster IPO is rising, experts' expectations for the company's performance are in decline.

The company on Tuesday raised the asking price of its offering -- expected on Friday -- from a range of $28-$35 to $34-$38.

In a survey of 124 portfolio managers and buy-side analysts conducted by Rivel Research Group, only 8 percent said they expect to see Facebook trading above its offering price six months after the initial public offering. Thirty-one percent said they expect the offering to have no impact whatsoever on the overall market for IPOs.

Yet excitement among ordinary investors for the IPO continues to run high, given that past IPOs have made some investors rich. An analysis by ABC News shows, for example, that a share of Johnson & Johnson bought at the IPO price of $375 would be worth $10 million today. A share of Apple bought at the 1980 IPO price of $22 would be worth about $44,800 now.

The fact that Facebook's stock has been virtually impossible for little guys to buy in advance of Friday's offering may only have heightened the shares' appeal, on the principle that what people want most are things they cannot have.

Jay Ritter, an expert on the history of IPOs and a professor of finance at the University of Florida, says Facebook's offering is indeed historic.

"This is more than just another IPO," he says. "It's the largest ever for an Internet company, and among the largest for any in U.S. company in history." It's unprecedented, he says, for a company just eight years old to receive a market cap of $100 billion.

Ritter says other recent IPOs have raised comparable amounts, including Visa's IPO and GM's in 2010. Both companies had name recognition: "Everybody knows GM. Lots of people have a Visa card." Yet neither offering generated anywhere near the excitement as Facebook's.

Of course, neither company had a chief executive of Mark Zuckerberg's star power or youth appeal. And, says Ritter, neither had Facebook's "blistering" growth rate.

"People confuse rapid growth with a good investment," he says.

Now the $100 billion question is, can Facebook maintain that growth by better monetizing its 900-million-plus users??

Fired Las Vegas Hotel Worker Sues for Pregnancy Discrimination, Wages

iStockphoto/Thinkstock(LAS VEGAS) -- Melodee Megia, a former employee at The Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, claims she was told she was fired from her job for saying "bye bye" on the telephone instead of "goodbye" while eight-months pregnant.

She has filed a lawsuit against the hotel for pregnancy discrimination and a class-action suit for workers' wages, saying employees were not paid for the time they had to wait for and change into their uniforms on a daily basis.

Megia worked at the hotel from November 2010 until September 2011, when she said she was fired "based on her pregnancy," according to court papers filed with the Clark County District Court in Nevada last week.

Megia was a "room service sales" employee answering the telephone when hotel guests called for room service, and occasionally assisting in room delivery, her lawyers said.

She is represented by labor attorneys Mark Thierman and Jason Kuller.

Thierman said "she was denigrated verbally and was mistreated because of her pregnancy," while having a "behind-the-scenes" job at the hotel.

Amy Rossetti, public relations director of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, said in a statement, "As a matter of company policy, we do not comment on pending litigation."

In March 2011, according to the lawsuit, Megia was asked to deliver a "pleasure packet" of condoms to a hotel customer, when Megia's supervisor said, "Isn't it too late for that? You should have thought about it before getting knocked up."

"From that point forward, the director of room service frequently gave [Megia] dirty looks or shook his head disapprovingly," the suit said.

On Sept. 16, 2011, when she was eight months pregnant, the "stated reason for [her] termination was that she said 'bye bye' instead of 'good bye' on the telephone to a room service customer," according to the suit.

"In fact, this was merely a pretext as [Megia] had been subject to harassing conduct and other pretextual discipline leading up to her termination since the time her pregnancy was learned by [the hotel]," the suit added.

In the same filing to sue the hotel for unspecified damages for pregnancy discrimination, Megia also made class-action allegations for unpaid wages on behalf of the hotel's employees.

Workers were not permitted to wear their uniforms outside work and had to pick up and drop off their uniforms before and after their shifts, often leading to additional overtime for which they were not paid, the suit claimed.

The suit said employees also had to change into their uniforms on-site in an area away from where they clocked in and out for the day.?

Facebook Employees Will Be Ringing in IPO with 'Hackathon'

Peter Foley/Bloomberg via Getty Images(MENLO PARK, Calif.) -- It’s going to be a sleepover at Facebook the night before the big IPO.

Employees from the social networking site will be holding what the company calls a "hackathon" Thursday night.

According to Facebook, "Hackathons are a big tradition at Facebook. They serve as the foundation for some great (and not so great) ideas. It gives our employees the opportunity to try out new ideas and collaborate with other people in a fun environment."

Basically, the company’s employees spend the night working on their ideas to see where they go. Everyone at the company is invited.

This is something they have done in the past, but this will be their last such endeavor as a private company.

The next morning, Mark Zuckerberg will ring the opening bell on Wall Street, making many of these employees millionaires and billionaires.?

'Baggage Battles': Airports Auction Lost, Misplaced and Forgotten Luggage

iStockphoto/Thinkstock(MIAMI) -- Ever wonder what happened to that piece of lost luggage that was never seen again? In some instances, the airport where it was left could have auctioned it off for profit.

One of the busiest hubs in the United States is Miami International Airport, where M-I-A isn't just the airport's call letters, but could easily stand for luggage that is "missing in action." The airport is home to an enormous graveyard of discarded duffel bags and carry-ons that have been cast aside. There are also forgotten bikes, laptops, surfboards, cameras, cellphones, even paintings and crutches -- all of which have gone unclaimed or don't carry identification.

"We take the time to make sure that we reconnect the item with the person if that's possible," said Miami International spokesman Marc Henderson. "But, you know, the airport is not a storage shelter. So after 60 days, it's like, OK, it's time to have an auction."

Last year, across the United States, nearly 2 million suitcases were reported to be either lost, damaged or delayed. About 10,000 bags go missing at Miami International alone every year.

To avoid losing your luggage, Henderson said it is as simple as keeping your bag with you at all times.

"I walk the terminal all the time. Traditionally on average one or two times a day, I will see a bag that is not attended," he said. "Somebody has walked away, have gone into a shop, they've gone into an eating establishment. They've left their bag there."

That's a "no-no," Henderson said, because of the heightened security at airports today. He also suggested not packing anything of significant value, or if you must, carry those items with you on the plane.

Miami International hosts a lost luggage auction twice a year to a standing room-only crowd who pays a $3 admission fee to get in on the bidding action. Most of the patrons are just regular folks who are looking to turn a quick profit.

Billy Leroy, who owns an eclectic props and antique store in New York City, was one of the bidders in Miami and is also one of the stars of the Travel Channel's new reality TV show, Baggage Battles, which airs on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The show follows three teams of savvy auction specialists who travel the world to place bets in high-stakes luggage auctions.

Dozens of these auctions happen at airports all over the country, with thousands of bags and millions of dollars at stake. Bidders can't open the unclaimed bags and have to rely on their instincts to place bets on what could be inside -- which could be anything from expensive jewelry or just laundry.

Only after bidders win the bags do they get to open them and find out if they have hit the jackpot.

"You've got to shoot from the hip and just vibe it," Leroy said of betting on the bags. "I mean, it sounds crazy but that's how I do it, that's how I make my business is by my gut feeling."

Faced with a mountain of luggage, bidders are given about an hour to pick up the bags, handle them and get a feel for what they might be carrying. Leroy also said he employs a "smell test," and said he won't bid on a bag that smells bad.

"Heavy is good, but carry-on is good too," Leroy said. "Expensive carry-on is good, and heavy, expensive carry-on is good, but heavy expensive carry-on could have dirty underwear in it."

But Leroy said that formula can sometimes backfire because an expensive-looking bag could be a fake.

Miami International has made as much as $100,000 in a single auction and it's not just off lost luggage bags. They also auction off singular items in bulk, where bidders can take bets on bags of jewelry or electronics that have been left at TSA checkpoints, or entire cargo loads of discarded items.

Stocks Fall for Fourth Consecutive Day

Hemera/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) -- After initially climbing into positive territory upon news from the latest Federal Reserve meeting, stocks fell Wednesday on worries about Europe's shaky financial situation, particularly in Greece.

The Dow closed down 33 points at 12,598. The Nasdaq lost 20 points to close at 2,874, while the S&P gave up just six points, closing at 1,324.

The markets continue to be held back by fear that Greece's political unrest could lead to the nation's exit from the European Union.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve has released the minutes of its latest meeting. Members are ready to do more to stimulate the economy if growth falters, or even if there are more signs that it will. That's in stark contrast to the Central Bank's previous meeting, when the Fed initially said no new help was needed.

General Motors to Add 600 New Jobs

Bill Pugliano/Getty Images(DETROIT) -- General Motors is adding 600 new jobs at its Lansing Grand River assembly plant to assist with the development of the Cadillac ATS, the auto company announced Wednesday.

A GM official said it has already hired 460 of the new hires and has identified who will fill the balance of the new positions. The new hires will be utilized in the plant's second shift.

The auto company has used the Lansing Grand River plant exclusively for its manufacturing of Cadillacs. The ATS will be the auto maker's first small luxury vehicle and is expected to compete with the BMW 3 series and Mercedes Benz C class within that market space.

The company hires are expected to make an estimated $16 an hour.

Skechers to Pay $40 Million for False Toning Shoe Claims

Konrad Fiedler/Bloomberg via Getty Images(WASHINGTON) -- Skechers advertised that its toning shoes would help people lose weight, build muscle and get in shape, claims that will now cost the company $40 million in a settlement with U.S. regulators.

The Federal Trade Commission announced Wednesday the company has agreed to the settlement on charges that it "deceived consumers by making unfounded claims" about its Shape-ups, Resistance Runner, Toners and Tone-ups lines of shoes. Consumers who bought the shoes are entitled to refunds.

"Skechers' unfounded claims went beyond stronger and more toned muscles. The company even made claims about weight loss and cardiovascular health," David Vladeck, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement. "The FTC's message, for Skechers and other national advertisers, is to shape up your substantiation or tone down your claims."

The FTC also alleges that Skechers manipulated and "cherry-picked results" from studies to support their claims. In one case, the FTC says Skechers touted the endorsement of chiropractor Dr. Steven Gautreau, but did not disclose that Gautreau was married to a Skechers marketing executive and that Skechers paid him to conduct the study, which the FTC alleges did not support the claims in the ad.

Skechers denies its ads were unsupported and says it "believes its advertising was appropriate."

"While we vigorously deny the allegations made in these legal proceedings and looked forward to vindicating these claims in court, Skechers could not ignore the exorbitant cost and endless distraction of several years spent defending multiple lawsuits in multiple courts across the country," David Weinberg, Skechers' chief financial officer, said in a statement.

The Skechers' settlement comes less than a year after Reebok agreed to pay $25 million to settle charges it misled consumers with false claims about EasyTone walking shoes and RunTone running shoes.

The FTC's settlement with Skechers is part of a broader agreement that resolves an investigation that included the attorney generals from 44 states. Under the settlement Skechers is not allowed to make any claims about its toning shoes involving health or fitness benefits unless they are backed by scientific evidence.

"Hopefully, at least here stateside, this will make big companies think twice before they make these specious advertising claims," Chris Morran, deputy editor at Consumerist.com, told ABC News. "The hurt isn't the $40 million penalty, it's the millions Skechers won't be making selling toning shoes. ... The sneakers are going overnight from miracle weight loss, muscle toning shoes to sneakers and that's the bigger hurt."

Skechers' has also been sued by consumers alleging that Shape-ups can cause serious injuries, including stress fractures.

JPMorgan Faces New Lawsuits Over Bets Gone 'Horribly Wrong'

Chris Hondros/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- JPMorgan Chase now faces two new lawsuits from shareholders angry over the bank’s two billion dollar trading loss. The suits, filed in federal court in New York, allege JPMorgan misled investors about the bet that went bad.

“Defendants misrepresented the losses and risk of loss to the Company arising from massive bets on derivative contracts,” plaintiff Saratoga Advantage Trust said in court papers. “These derivative bets went horribly wrong.”

Chief Executive Jamie Dimon has said the bank made “egregious” and “self-inflicted” mistakes, words that may come back to haunt him in court.

“We believe that he made false and misleading statements and omissions quite frankly,” Bruce Ventimiglia, CEO of Saratoga Advantage Trust, told ABC News.

The lawsuit names Dimon and Chief Financial Officer Douglas Braunstein.

Dimon and Braunstein knew, or could not reasonably have been unaware of, the magnitude of losses being incurred by JPMorgan,” court records said.

When JPMorgan disclosed the loss last week the bank said it resulted from a failed hedging strategy meant to insulate its portfolio from losses. Ventimiglia does not buy it.

“They have mislabeled what they were doing. They describe what they were doing as hedging strategies. We think they were outright bets,” he said.

JPMorgan Chase declined to comment on the lawsuits. The bank has also declined to give specifics about the trades, but Saratoga Advantage Trust believes “these wagers may have reached close to $100 billion dollars in size.”

“These types of derivatives trades are at the center of the 2008 financial crisis,” Ventimiglia said. “The proper disclosure of what these banks are doing is critical to investors.”

The crafty jewellers have worked hard on their jewellery display and it certainly grabs your attention as you walk by.

Later on that year I split with my long-term girlfriend, had to move out of the flat that we had bought together and set up home in another part of the town.

Depression quickly followed but at the time I was too proud to accept professional help. Today I`d do things differently. Rather than try to cope on my own I`d see a therapist to talk about the issues.
