Commentary:
"Hate those pesky rebates from all of that electronics, appliances,kitchen, or home-office stuff you are planning to buy? One market-researchfirm noted that 40% of consumers do not file for the rebates, and 20% messup the paperwork, and that is the idea according to the research. You haveto send the rebate form, an original receipt and bar code info in order toget you $$ back. Now, Staples, www.stapleseasyrebates.com, is making iteasier to get the rebates on line, so is Best Buy, and Rite Aid. Finally,technology giving the little guy a break!" stated Sonja Rudd in Wall StreetNews Alert's daily commentary continued at:http://www.WallStreetNewsAlert.com.
