0:00.0	It's my pleasure to welcome you to the Clark Howard Show where I'm
0:08.3	is just to serve you and empower you to make better financial decisions in your
0:13.3	life. Today on the show, Clark Stinks also return policies are different this
0:22.3	Christmas shopping season. You got to know about it before you're outspending
0:28.4	your hard-earned money and Clark Stinks is where you give me feedback where
0:35.0	you feel the advice I've given is incomplete and accurate or just plain dumb and
0:42.0	with that having been said, Christo, let's get to it. I should have never

1:46.8	right. In a recent episode you advise folks to back off on the hype surrounding
1:51.5	eye bonds. This was disappointing. Instead you should have told us the tricks to
1:55.4	get even more money into eye bonds in the short term. The Treasury direct site
1:59.6	has a gift box option in which you can buy a $10,000 bond in another person's
