Credit Repair Companies

Helen asks…
Do credit repair companies really work?
I want to repair my bad credit and have been doing some research on some of these credit repair companies. They all sound to good to be true! The majority of the items are old accounts, nothing major like a BK or Forclosure.
Has anyone had any success with using a credit repair company?
The Hobo answers:
If you are looking for the best credit repair site, check out this company
877-271-2856
Here you can improve your credit score rating and reduce your debt with the help of an expert. They have helped half a million people since 1991.

Richard asks…
Im looking to use a credit repair company to help me fix my credit. Know of any reputable companies?
Im looking for a credit repair company to help repair my credit and raise my credit score. There are many companies online but I want to choose a reputable company and do not know how to make sure they are legitimately a good company. Any suggestions?
The Hobo answers:
Forget credit repair companies. Most are pure scam. Even the legit ones only do what you can easily do yourself. There are no special letters or secret procedures to clean up your credit. If you insist on help call this #877-271-2856 it is one of the best companies I know ask plenty of questions they don’t care but again doing it yourself is possible.
If any of your derogatory items are single entry items, like medical or utility bills, you can try to negotiate pay for delete agreements (you pay $x and they remove the item) with the collection agencies. This doens’t work for regularly reported items like credit cards and installment loans. The collection agency can only remove what they report. The original creditor’s charge off would remain.
If you have open credit card accounts, use them and pay off the balance in full every month. If you don’t have a credit card, get one, even if you have to get a secured card — you pay a deposit which is held as collateral against the line of credit. You need to build up at least 24 months of consistent, on time payment history to improve your score.

Donald asks…
Can Credit Repair Companies Really Help Your Credit Score?
I am wondering if it is really worth the money to work with a credit repair company. Can they really improve your score or would I just be throwing money away?
The Hobo answers:
They are mostly a scam. Please see the information under source from the Federal Trade Commission regarding Credit Repair Companies and how you can go about improving your credit yourself without their help.

Sandra asks…
What credit repair companies are not scams?
what credit repair companies are not scams?
The Hobo answers:
Call this #877-271-2856 the best I know of but read below!
None of these companies can do anything it is not possible to do yourself. They have no special powers. They only exist because of people being too busy/lazy to deal with the creditors personally.
Rather like being fully licensed to drive but employing a chauffeur to drive you

Maria asks…

And
Yes the enquirer CAN remove an inquiry they have made!

Is it okay to have the bouncy part of the trampoline upside down?
My friend and I put up her trampoline yesterday, and after an hour of hard work we were done. We then realized that we put the black part of the trampoline on upside down. We were too lazy to re do the entire thing, so we left it.
Basically I wanna know, Are we gonna die by jumping on it? xD.

I don’t think it matters and use the # I provided above to see if it matters.

Hair Loss Prevention Diet & Solutions

James asks…
Suggest a diet for reducing Hair loss or anyone help me for Prevention of Hair loss?.?
PLease suggest me the diet for hair growth
The Hobo answers:
Eat fresh vegetables or green leaves which has a lot of iron. Oil u r head 1 hour before shower every time.

Lizzie asks…
I was told that lack of iodine in ones diet will cause hair loss. Is this true? vitamins not the answer.fyi?
I am aware that coloring ones hair will do that too; that is not the issue; nor the problem; I know diet plays a big part in it also; is there anything out there (besides seaweed) that can help. thyroid problem; no dr. already ruled that out. I know there is a prevention. Anyone know?
The Hobo answers:
The increasing physical and emotional stress in modern women result in hormonal imbalance and fall in estrogen level, thereby causing hair loss. The problem tends to spread like epidemic with passage of days and socio-economic condition growing tougher. There has been a noticeable buzz across the web about the natural remedies of hair loss in females. Millions of women are severely afflicted to the problem of hair loss, but not many women know about the natural remedies of female hair loss.
Here are some really effective natural remedies that are triggered towards the various causes of female hair loss problems:
Scalp Massage:
Massage your scalp regularly with stimulating scalp massage oil. You need to be too selective while picking the right scalp massage oil. You can find the web waved with tons of products and marketing campaigns, but not all are good. Everything is at your finger tips! Check out the reviews about different brands across the net and pick the one that is admired widely. Massaging your scalp with stimulating oil encourages proper blood circulation and removes the deposition of dead skin. It develops the natural health of follicles, thereby mitigating the intensity of thinning of hair. Pure olive oil and castor oil are the best options.
Picking the Right Shampoo:
This is another vital aspect to be kept in the mind. Don’t pick the shampoos that are drying. Pick the ones that are creamier and talk about your scalp health. Remember while cleaning your hair, you must gently massage your scalp so that it helps proper blood circulation and clean the dandruff too. Right kind of herbal hair shampoos are the best option, although they’re not miracle solutions!
Hair Dressing:
Hair dressing is most important point when it comes to natural remedies for female hair loss. Dress your hair loosely. Steer clear of tight ponytails or any other tight hair dress-up. Tight hair dressing has adverse affect on hair growth.
Life Style Factors and Nutrition:
Lifestyle is one of the major factors that affect the hair quality. Female hair problems like thinning, premature graying and hair loss are caused by poor diet. Eating healthy is another natural remedy for hair growth. This means you should eat nutritious diet that is rich in vitamin, minerals and essential trace elements. Stress and sleeplessness also hamper hair growth. Leading a stress free life is of utmost significance!
Home Made Remedies:
There are tons of home made remedies to arrest hair loss. Applying mixture of olive oil, rosemary, lemon juice and an egg yolk on the scalp is a great way to stimulate hair growth naturally. Applying red henna on the scalp also stimulates hair growth.

Sandy asks…
How to prevent hair loss?
I have not even started to show any signs of hair loss,(19 years old) but I am still worried that it might one day be a problem. I am also aware that a good diet and sleep, as well as careful hair care can slow down the effects of hair loss.
Though now I am looking for possibly a medicine or something of that nature, that has been tested and approved for the prevention of hair loss. Rogaine is one that I have found for the regrowth of hair and a possibility.
Yeah, I am male with male-pattern-hair-loss-phobia.
The Hobo answers:
Call a company called Kevis at: 888-808-2626
Ask them as many questions about what you may need to do. Yes, they will try to sell you something which a few of my friends have swear by but I do know that this company is very serious about fixing this problem. The # I gave should get you straight past the sales crew and to more geeky hair techs.
all the best

William asks…
7 month old puppy loss of appetite, itching & scratching a lot lately- loosing some hair in those spots?
We adopted a black lab/pitbull mix puppy in April from a local humane society, right now we’re guessing shes probably around 7 months old.. It seems like the poor puppy has been on pills since we got her. She had a bad runny nose for a month when we got her (kennel cough) the vet put her on antibiotics. About a month after that we started noticing a light greenish colord discharge on her right after she’d pee. Took her back to the vet, they tested her and sure enough she had a urinary tract infection. And now.. for about the last month maybe a little longer we noticed spots on hair loss on her side of her back legs.. and that she was scratching and itching a lot. Shes on heartworm prevention & flea control every month. Shes never outside by herself, or outside for an extended long period of time (we live in Florida). We stopped taking her to the dog park (vet said its infested & not a good place for puppys) & shes been checked for fleas- no fleas. Yet again the vet gave her more antibiotics, a skin vitiman, & some other kind of pill. I am sick of shoving pills down my puppys throat. Shes been on science diet puppy food since we got her- thought maybe she became allergic to her food or treats.. we switched it up.. she loved her food before.. then just acted like she had a loss of appetite (still very playful when we go outside or play with the dog toys) other than that she just seems tired all the time and doesnt mind sleeping A LOT! Switched her food- shes acting the same, goes and sniffs it, maybe takes a small bite, walks away, eventually eats it 4 hours later,or more.. She loves peanutbutter & crackers though (this is how we give her the pills & we know thats not whats making her itch. I switches the laundry soap I wash her bed in, to gental baby delicate soap- her antibiotics are almost gone, another 2 days.. shes still the same.. anyone know what it might be? Please let me know.. thanks
SHES BEEN ON SCIENCE DIET FOR LARGE BREED PUPPYS. WE SWITCHED UP HER FOOD ALMOST TWO WEEKS AGO INCASE SHE BECAME ALLERGIC TO THE SCIENCE DIET. WE ASKED THE PEOPLE AT THE PET STORE FOR A GOOD PUPPY FOOD- TOLD THEM HER SYMPTOMS, ECT.. WE DONT CARE THE EXPENSIVE PRICE FOR THE FOOD WE JUST WANT OUR PUPPY BETTER..(we switched her to WELLNESS lg breed puppy food.) THE VET DOESNT SEEM TO KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH HER JUST WANTS TO KEEP GIVING HER PILLS. NOTE* SHE WAS FIXED WHEN WE ADOPTED HER
OH & WE’VE ALREADY TOOK HER TO TWO DIFFERENT GOOD VETS IN THE AREA. NOBODY KNOWS WHATS WRONG WITH THE PUPPY. SHES BEEN TESTED FOR MANGE, DEMENTIA, ect.. So now Im asking if anybody knows on here?
The Hobo answers:
Wow.that definetly is NOT normal i have a 7 month old dog, and he has none of those effects on him.
Well, i know a solution for the shoving pills down your puppy’s throat here is a link:
Try This At Amazon
those are for pills.you put the pill in between the treat, and your dog eats the treat and gets the pill.
Anyways,i think your doing everything right.Maybe your puppy is sad or something, but it sounds like your taking really good care of her.
I don’t know about the peanut butter and crackers though, so again please check out the link.
The discharge isn’t normal at all!
Is she spayed?
Best of luck!!!

Hobbyist

Thomas asks…
What are the essential items a guitar hobbyist should own?
I am learning more and more about guitar as I am teaching myself, but what items are essential for me to own as a developing guitar hobbyist?
Thanks!
I’m learning acoustic
The Hobo answers:
It depends on wheather you’re playing accoustic or electric guitar.
If you’re playing accoustic, you deffinately need:
a case
a tuner
extra strings
picks (thickness is preference)
a capo
a string winder
if you play electric, you will also need:
an amp
a chord
a strap
other things that are nice to have:
a slide
fingerpicks
a footswitch (for an amp)
expression pedals (for an amp)
if you’re interested in top notch inexpensive video training call this # 877-457-1443 mon-fri 9-5pm (central). I don’t remember their website but I just have the # because a friend of mine took the course and he is pretty good after a short time.

Ruth asks…
If I am going to be forging and working metal as a hobbyist, what dimensions of bar stock should I use?
I am a hobbyist getting started on metalworking, and I need advice as to what type of bar stock i should use. I plan on making daggers, swords, and other similar sized objects. Also, if anyone is experienced in this sort of thing I would really appreciate any pointers.
The Hobo answers:
It depends what you have the capability of working with (tools) and what you want to make. If you make a knife by grinding, your blank has to be the size of the blade you are making. If you make a knife by forging, the stock can have smaller dimensions as you are going to spread the metal.
If you want to make usable knifes, more important is that you buy tool steel and that you know what kind of tool steel it is, and consequently know whether you have to harden and temper it in oil, water or air.
Though before you go through the process with expensive tool steel practice either on copper (easier to work) or mild steel (cheaper) until you really know what you are doing.
I’d recommend taking a metal working class, preferably one you learn some forging and welding, but also other metal working techniques. With a class you don’t need to buy expensive tools. You can first try out which ones you find really useful.
Or if you go to the anvilfire website, they have lists of books, read through some of those.

David asks…
What would be a great camcorder for a simple hobbyist?
Are there any camcorders you would recommend for a modern day hobbyist?
Nothing professional, a consumer camcorder. I’m just looking for an upgrade from my 8mm.
The Hobo answers:
I’ve been a home video hobbyist for 7 years with my Sony PC100E (that only recently broke down on me
). However, the video quality is superb although this technology is probably reaching its end of life. I will still continue to use miniDV as the the newer technologies have not reached the level of quality and capacity of miniDV. I will also go for longer optical zoom. For low budget, perhaps Panasonic GS80 for its OIS. I’ll probably get that.

John asks…

Starting a Business

John asks…
business?!?
well am thinking about starting my on business any ideas on how i can get started and wat should my business be
The Hobo answers:
You’ve got it back to front. First you look for a niche in the market that needs to be addressed or you note a shortage of demand. If you are not addressing these keep your money in your pocket.
Business opportunities come from hobbies expanded, new technology (e.g. Become the Blue Ray expert), niche markets e.g. Something a cultural group wants or needs, changes in law create opportunities for experts to emerge, changes in demographics e,g, more children in the area.
Look around. Ask people around you.
How to start will depend on the idea – some businesses start part time until they get enough customers to move on – some start as web based businesses and others just have to bite the bullet and go big time. Whatever you do please do a business plan before you start – work out the details on profitability, time needed to make it work etc before you commit any money to the idea.

Linda asks…
Opening a business and wondering what types of expenses I can write off?
I am opening an online business for website design. (set up as a LLC, I’m the sole owner) Should I start keeping receipts of all business related expenses? Or would my business qualify as a hobby if I don’t make a certain amount of money in the year that I’m filing.
What types of things can I write off onto my business? (dinners, gasoline, etc.) Do I need a seperate business credit card/bank account for the expenses?
Do I have to accept payments towards the business‘s services through a corporate account, or can they make the check/payment directly to me?
The Hobo answers:
You need to keep accurate records when running a business. This will be your best defense if you ever get audited.
For IRS purposes, you need to make a profit every 3 out of 5 years to have the IRS prove that you are not running a business. Otherwise, it is up to you to prove that you are running a business and not doing a hobby. You can prove that you are running a business by keeping your business accounts and personal accounts separate.
You can write off any legitimate business expense including dinners with clients, car expenses, equipment, etc.
Having a separate checking account and credit card is a good idea. However, it isn’t necessary. You can comingle your business and personal expenses using your personal accounts. But, if you do this, then it will be harder for you to prove that you are running a business.
For your revenues, you don’t need a corporate account to make you deposits. You just need to make the deposits in your separate account that you use for business.
You can read Publication 334 for more information.

Carol asks…
How to write a business proposal for selling a at home business?
I have my own wedding and event planning business and I am interested in selling in it. I really want to know the format of a business proposal for selling a business and I would really like to see an example of a business proposal for selling a business (comes with existing advertising and a website). I want a sample so that I can get an idea. Please do not tell me tips. I really would like to see a sample of a proposal for selling a business.
The Hobo answers:
You can’t post a Proposal for Sale of Business here. It is a comprehensive document similar to a business plan with dozens to hundreds of pages. Contact a broker like VR Business Brokers and see if you can get help. Yours is a unique business driven by personal contacts and is not easily sold.

George asks…
How do progressively growing business owners grow their own personal business knowledge?
How do business owners, that have businesses that experience very exceptional growth figures, keep on top of the necessary business knowledge to help deal with their growth. And to assess whether or not a business should expand operations?? Is their courses, or a series of business books that aid with this type of thing!
Any advise from people who have led rapidly growing businesses is most welcome. Thank you for your time and help.
The Hobo answers:
You build a team of people around you, each of them having knowledge and insight that you don’t have. These team members can’t just be friends or other people you happen to know. You will have to select each team member actively and based on what they bring to the table.
Then, you meet with your team on a regular basis to discuss relevant issues:
-what’s happening with the technology?
-what are competitors doing?
-what do customers think?
- etc, etc
Also, find a mentor (someone you admire, or who has done something similar to what you want to do).
The best part? People will most often volunteer to give advice and be a mentor for free!

Advertising Jobs and What You Should Know

David asks…
Advertising jobs?
I am 18 and will be going to college next year. I am thinking about a job in advertising. How is the pay and is there any need out there for people. Im not sure how to even search for this job because it has a large range. Someone that has a job in this field please let me know. Also I live in ohio is there schools here for that. What is the degree called?
The Hobo answers:
Since you are in Ohio, check out Ohio University, in Athens, It has one of the top journalism schools in the nation. The degree is called a Bachelor of Science in Journalism degree.
The pay for beginners is average, but if you are really good, then you begin to make serious money within 5 years. There is a need for people in various aspects of the field: writers, art directors, graphic designers, marketing strategy people, account executives, and more. The growth of the internet as an ad medium has opened many opportunities for people in this field.
By the way, it’s a myth that you need to be in NY, Chicago or LA to be in the “big time” of advertising. Today, some of the top ad agencies are now located in places such as Minneapolis, Miami, Boston, San Francisco, and even such “small towns” as Richmond, Virginia — home of The Martin Agency, which employs well over 300 people, and just picked up the Wal-Mart account. (Its work for Geico and many other brands is well known.) The reality is that any fair-sized town (Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, Toledo, etc.) will have ad agency jobs that are rewarding.
If you are creative, you will find a lot of opportunity in advertising. Go for it.

Donald asks…
Do many companys not bother advertising jobs?
For the ammount of companys in my local town (must be thousands) there are only 30-60 jobs (estimate) advertised. Is this because companys do not bother advertising? If so why?
The Hobo answers:
No they don’t..they often go on recommendations for people. If you’re looking for a job, write letters to companies NOT advertising. They’ll take notice (it worked extremely well for me)

John asks…
when do stores start advertising christmas jobs?
when do stores start advertising christmas jobs?
The Hobo answers:
Around about now, they should be advertising by next month anyway

Mandy asks…
How professional photographers find and keep finding Commercial/ advertising jobs?
I am wondering how photographers get jobs from companies to photograph their products/ buildings/ staff and all those other ad jobs that companies require.
Hopefully someone can shed some light! thank you!
The Hobo answers:
Exactly the same way that any other company finds customers.
Advertising, marketing, word of mouth and off course having the product or skills that they want etc etc.

Internet Tv Solutions

Betty asks…
internet tv?
I have HDMI hook up ports on my plasma tv can I hdmi from my pc with internet tv? and will I need a special video card in my harddrive tower thanx Arcturus
The Hobo answers:
Yes you can.
You may need to get a new video card – to connect to an HDMI input you will need either an HDMI or a DVI output on the PC. (DVI and HDMI carry the same video signal so you can put a converter on one end of the cable).
You may need to do some tweaking of the display settings on your PC, for Macintosh there are a couple of free programs that do this – I’m sure there are tons for PC.
Bear in mind that plasma displays can be susceptible to BURN-IN. (Did you ever see an old pacman video screen where the image was still visable after the unit was unplugged?!) Make sure that you set your screen saver to trigger quickly, and move the icons around your desktop once in a while!

Lizzie asks…
internet TV!?

The Hobo answers:
Go to TV then internet TV. You may need to do an update.

How long do you think it will take for Internet TV to take off as a stock market investment?
Given that a lot of people are likely to get their TV over the internet and virtually anyone will be able to set up a TV station, how do you see the TV industry changing over the next 10 years?
Which individual companies and types of companies are going to be the winners and losers?
Are there any stocks you would particularly recommend or avoid?
The Hobo answers:
You’ll laugh, but I remember people asking this same question 10 years ago.
For investments, I’ve found that it’s always difficult to predict precisely when a certain technology will take off, or which of various forms will dominate. In the end, I don’t invest in companies like this until they actually start to show profits. By then, we can usually get a pretty clear picture of where things are going, and there’s usually still a sizeable upside left.
Hold on to your good idea, and wait until the winners become apparent.
Meanwhile, I would guess that companies with holdings in both TV and Internet sites might have an edge. Consider something like IACI, perhaps.
Best of luck to you.

Daniel asks…
What would be the optimum internet speed to stream tv and video on computer screen or even a tv set?
Because of digital conversion, I’m looking at other options. Would internet tv be good? How would the quality be? I have up to 758 kb now. Thank you.
The Hobo answers:
That is no where near what you need to “stream tv” now i am guessing you have a wired connection to? Because if you don’t then well there are even more questions to ask. I would say for s video you would need about 2000kb at the least. For higher resolutions you would need at least 5000kb thats what i have and even with that sometimes hd video can lag a bit. See that speed unless you have already converted is not your true download speed mine with 5000 is really about 1500 kb

Non-profit Accounting

Mary asks…
non profit accounting?
Looking for an easier non profit accounting program for a church. We use acs and it is $$$$ and I would like something easier and less $.
I am trying Quickbooks Nonprofit… just starting, and alittle lost.
The Hobo answers:
If you have a manual for the Quickbooks just stay with that system and try to understand one step at a time. Most of these sorts of software become easier the longer you use them. It should have help files and examples for you to follow. Importantly, remember that all of these programmes work using the accounting formula Assets= Liabilities + Owners’ Equity. This means that for each financial transaction there must be at least two accounts affected. One will have a debit entry while the other will have a corresponding Credit entry.

Charles asks…
What software/service do you use or would you recommend for non-profit accounting?
I work with a small church, we currently use Quicken 2007 to manage our financials. I’d like to look at upgrading our financial software – and possibly move to a SaaS or multi-user based software. Any recommendations on an affordable yet full-featured solution? Is QuickBooks the way to go?
The Hobo answers:
QuickBooks Premier Non-Profit should work for you. If you wanted to go online, you can hire a hosting company.

Thanks!
The Hobo answers:
Those are the federally required ones – anything else is your option – you will need some basic hire form to get name, address, phone, soc sec #, etc for W-2′s and basic reference

James asks…
Does an non-profit organization have to make their accounting available to the public?
I know that a publicly traded company must make their accounting available to the public (so you can see how the company spent what, where, and to who), but does an Non-Profit Organization (NPO) have to do the same thing?
The Hobo answers:
Not necessarily.

Robert asks…
Are a 501 c 3 non-profit organization’s accounting records within the public domain?
Basically, can a normal citizen of the public request or ask for the accounting books of a non-profit charity? Is it possible to check up on a non-profit organizations finances and financial activities in this way?
The Hobo answers:
An IRS-approved 501(c)3 non-profit is required to file Form 990 annually and make the last 3 reports available to the public. The easiest is to go on the non-profit’s web site and look for it. There are web sites that will give you access to the reports:
http://foundationcenter.org/getstarted/faqs/html/990-990pf-find.html
charitynavigator.org will give you a summary of their financial picture.

What are some successful marketing strategies that have worked for you?
I am starting my own insurance agency and am trying to build up my book of business through effective marketing. Although I have been working on some good strategies so far, I am looking for any advice to push it to the next level. What strategies have been successful for you?
The Hobo answers:
I firmly believe that direct sales (cold and warm calling) are terrific ways to reach people. They are free and time after time I’m able to generate sales this way. I would augment any marketing with 5-10 calls per day to people introducing yourself. Make a note of who is potentially interested and continue to follow up with them.

Thomas asks…
What is the difference between the marketing strategies in the US vs. Europe?
I have a paper to write on the differences between marketing strategies that a media network would use to market a new TV show in Europe and in the US.
Any ideas?
The Hobo answers:
The strategies are the same worldwide and people respond to the same advertising today as they did in 1930′s with emotions… BUT how we do it is different…
The same ad today, needs to STICK OUT among the clutter…
There is more advertising in the US so you need to BE CREATIVE, REALLY CREATIVE, but at the same time keep the “emotions up”, which is something that’s hard to accomplish…

What are some companies with good marketing strategies?
I have to do a presentation on a company with great marketing strategies, ie segmentation, product development, distribution, etc.
I wanted to do Apple but it was already taken, what are some others that would be a good example?
The Hobo answers:
Think about companies that have been doing very well with their advertising efforts based on what you’ve seen…. Apple is certainly one of them. How about….
Geico – Although they’ve been launching a few interesting but funny campaigns at once (which usually isn’t the norm), they certainly have done very well.
Verizon – They’ve done very well within the past couple years.

What are some innovative marketing strategies I can use?
I’m an online clothing store, I offer a wide range of clothing styles, including hip-hop (urban) style clothing, beach style clothing, current fashion trends and much more.. My store offers clothing to both men and women.
What are some innovative marketing strategies I can use?
The Hobo answers:
Your website should record of information of customers.. Then it can customize and recommend customer about the costume that mix and match them.. It might record the past sale for his/her favorite so that next time it might advise customer this kind of clothes. This can differentiate your site from others. And by this it has the photo of you trying the clothes and you can look for 3 dimensions. By the way, it is guarantee service, if you aren’t satisfied with the product, you can refund for money. The channel is delivery to you within 2 days.

Cash Flow Statement & Answers

Lizzie asks…
What is Cash Flow Statement? What points should i consider while preparing CFS?
What is Cash Flow Statement? What points should i consider while preparing CFS? When there is increase in Application or decrease in application/sources?
The Hobo answers:
Complementing the balance sheet and income statement, the cash flow statement (CFS), a mandatory part of a company’s financial reports since 1987, records the amounts of cash and cash equivalents entering and leaving a company. The CFS allows investors to understand how a company’s operations are running, where its money is coming from, and how it is being spent. Here you will learn how the CFS is structured and how to use it as part of your analysis of a company.
The cash flow statement is distinct from the income statement and balance sheet because it does not include the amount of future incoming and outgoing cash that has been recorded on credit. Therefore, cash is not the same as net income, which, on the income statement and balance sheet, includes cash sales and sales made on credit

Robert asks…
On a Cash Flow Statement why is depreciation a positive number sometimes?
On a Cash Flow Statement why is depreciation a positive number sometimes? HELP PLEASE multiple cash questions?
The Hobo answers:
Cashflow statement does not have depreciation. Depreciation is non cash and is always added back.
