Military Family Needs Help with Car Payment - Husband in Afghanistan

Progress: We've raised 100% of the cost of this application!

The Details:

I'm married to a Marine who is currently deployed in Afghanistan. We have two children - one left for college and the other will enter high school this year. Recently my husband's pay was audited unexpectedly, and as a result they're taking money out of his pay for a rank increase he didn't receive. Now we don't know how we'll make our car payment this month.

I ask that Modest Needs help us to afford our car note this month. I'm very concerned about this but don't want to concern my husband while he's deployed. Normally we're a self-sufficient family and I know we will be again, but we need help. My worry is that if we do not catch up now, we will be in a downward spiral. I feel alone and am masking it, especially from our son.

This one time help will put us back on track. We are behind but I know how to penny pinch and get caught up. We are literally just a month away from climbing back up. We'll make the most of your kindness. We'll be very grateful if you can help our military family. Thank you!

Nouriel Roubini?s Twitter account as a contrary stock indicator

If you?re a stock-market bear looking for fellow bears in a world of bulls, look no further than Twitter.

Yes, the social-networking site is full of colorful characters with a range of outlooks on the markets. But Twitter itself may serve as a useful gauge of bearish sentiment, according to Greg Harmon, founder of Dragonfly Capital. In a blog post Friday, he unveils a new contrary indicator: Nouriel Roubini?s Twitter frequency.

Roubini, a New York University economist whose doom-and-gloom forecasts often earn him the description of ?permabear,? doesn?t often change the tune of his negative sentiment. But the amount of Twitter messages he sends does fluctuate.

On Thursday, as the markets took a dive, Roubini took to his Twitter account, sending 12 messages in total (excluding retweets of others? messages). They include such exclamations as:

Could this be an indicator of what?s to come for stocks? Harmon says it may, though he also backs up his viewpoints with a slew of technical analyses. He concludes:

?Now, just because this contra indicator has worked well in the past does not mean it will work well forever. But I have my hunch.?

If you?re looking for fellow bulls to commiserate with on Twitter, however, stay far away from Roubini?s Twitter feed.
