It's no secret that GM is looking to sell or kill its once valuable HUMMER brand, but the big question now is whether the General will do the same with other brands. Unfortunately for GM, there isn't much to be gained from either killing or selling most brands. Saturn, GMC, and Pontiac are all US-only brands that don't exist without Chevrolet, and the bow-tie is GM, so it's safe as can be. Buick

The euro traded at $1.54 on May 2, and the dollar index is 3% off its lows.

According to an article posted at BuilderOnline.com, today's buyers not only don't care about a builder's brand, they don't even want to hear about it, which should tell you something about the uphill PR hill builders will need to climb in the next few years.

Maybe. But to sell in today’s housing market, salespeople need to start conversations with clients, learn about them, build relationships, and by doing all of that, sell the right house to the right buyer, home building sales consultants say.Customers don’t want to

Dear Budget Babe,
Can you recommend some shoe brands at Zappos.com that are both cheap (under $50) and stylish?
Sincerely,
Broke & Barefoot
BB: Anyone who's ever shopped at Zappos.com can attest to their incredible selection, super fast shipping and easy-as-pie returns. But let's face it - their shoes aren't exactly cheap, and you can easily squander hours (if not days) of precious time browsing and sorting through thousands of shoes just to find a cute pair that won't break the bank.
So here are ten of our favorite brands that we can always rely on for cool styles, good quality and reasonable prices (each offers at least some styles for less than $50, meaning you don't have to wait for them to go on sale). This list is by no means exhaustive, but it's a good place start!
