Personal Finance Daily JUNE 30, 2010 Wednesday's Personal Finance stories By MarketWatch Don't miss these top stories: Six ways for small-business owners to save New deadline for home-buyer credit nears approval Portfolio moves you should make now Private-sector employment tepid An easy way to set your financial goals Everyone's got their own tips and tricks for saving money. I remember a few years ago one of our columnists wrote about the wisdom of using less toilet paper to save money. We haven't really embraced that concept at my house, but we have been eating in a lot more (that may have more to do with loving our new kitchen than with a desire to save money, but the savings are a wonderful side effect). When it comes to cutting costs, you do what you can when you need to, right? So why not change to a smaller type font before printing anything, as a way to save on paper (it's good for the environment, too)? That's j

There's No Business Like FOX Business Wall Street bounced off its lows and alternated between gains and losses Wednesday morning as a gloomy ADP report on private-sector job growth was offset by a more upbeat regional report and a rallying euro. Today’s Markets As of 10:30 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2.72 points, or 0.03%, to 9867.73, the Standard & Poor's 500 rose 1.74 points, or 0.17%, to 1042.98 and the Nasdaq Composite picked up 6.89 points, or 0.33%, to 2142.30. The FOX 50 dropped 0.40 points, or 0.05%, to 761.33. In a reversal of the news flow for much of this year, upbeat overseas news on the European banking system was overshadowed by the gloomy labor headlines on the domestic economy. However, the bearish data may have already been factored into the beaten-down markets, especially considering Tuesday’s 268-point plunge. “There’s a fairly large disconnect between what the economists are looking for and what the ma

That means small banks, not just large banks and large hedge funds, will be on the hook for implementation. Meanwhile, a White House summit on climate policy ended without agreement, but with Obama reiterating a commitment to carbon pricing and various senators -- including, crucially, Olympia Snowe -- moving towards a utilities-only cap-and-trade bill. Elena Kagan had a calm first day of testimony, and did offer some insight into how she'd judge different issues. Oh, and the Supreme Court ruled that the McCain-Feingold Act's ban on "soft" money campaign expenditures is constitutional. It was a busy day. Look forward, the Senate is going to try
