Supply and demand is what drives it but if you were looking at doing a spreadsheet i would raise it by 5% a year in these current economic circumstances. If economic conditions change significantly you may have to adjust figure.
woodinator replied to the topic Rising sea levels – anyone threatened? in the forum Opinionated! 17 years, 9 months ago
I use to be a big skeptic on global warming but have changed my tune as there is just too much evidence that we are getting hotter and in my belief now i think people are underestimating how quickly we are melting. 10 of the last 14 years have been hottest on record and as a farmer who relies on temps, rainfall etc we notice this in daily events.…[Read more]

I would not touch these sorts of offers. Why would these people borrow money from you at 12% when they could borrow from bank at say 8%. It is because the banks have said no to them because they are too risky.

Hello sophd
