Monday's story ideas

Interest rates are going down and the stock market is shaky. Where is a safe place to place your money if you want something secure?

Spring break. Are families not traveling or staying closer to home due to gas prices?

Discount store profits are up. People who never shop for bargains are now turning to discount stores because of the economy?

Vitamin waters. Are they really healthy, and what about all the calories?

Check the car lot. I'm seeing long rows of SUVs at dealerships. Who gets stuck with these gas guzzlers?

Reverse mortgages. With home values dropping, is this a deal to consider now, or should you wait for a market turnaround?

The IRS letters are out. Many seniors who no longer have to file can suddenly get $300 by filing.

And it's a chocoholic holiday. Half price Easter candy. (Not really a story idea, but an alert for those of you who are addicted.)
