The Irony of “Risk” in the Markets
| |
| Right now in the markets, there are essentially 2 trades: risk-taking and risk-averting. The risk-taking trade can be summarized as US dollar and Japanese yen down, bonds down, everything else up.

Title Inflation Emerges With A Vengeance
| |
| Suddenly, title inflation is everywhere. I’ve seen more business cards or email sigs lately with adjectives like “executive” or “senior” or “senior executive” or “special” or “chief” in front of more traditional titles (e.g. “vice president”). The “chief” one is especially bizarre since it’s not always obvious whether the CSO is a “Chief Sales Officer” or a “Chief Security Officer” which in and of itself is a problem. |

5.1 The results vary by diversification regime: Economic Report on Africa 2007
| |
| At this point, it is worthwhile to recall the five diversification regimes: those countries
with little diversification; countries that started but got stuck in the diversification
process; those with deepened diversification; backsliders in diversification; and
the conflict and post-conflict countries. This report suggests that belonging to a
particular regime has more to do with policy and institutional factors at the country
level. Consequently, there are different determinants when the discussion is brought
to the country level (see table A5.2 for correlation results). |

How to Market Your Small Business When the Future is Uncertain

How to Survive Decades of Debt and Dollar Doubts
| |
| The annualized government borrowings for 2009 will total $5T explains Mike Farrell with aspenIbiz. At this time, 40% of the US Gov’ts budget is being spent to pay interest on its debt.

Both of these concerns generate Dollar Doubts. Read this article to understand the implications of Decades of Debt and Dollar Doubts as well as explore alternative wealth creating strategies. |

Negotiating The Interest Rates With Banks In Canada
| |
| The interest is a price which a borrower pays for the money he gets from the lender. If you deposit or invest your money in any of the banks’ instruments, you are paid the interest. However, if you borrow the money from the bank, it charges you the interest. Interest rates bank Canada are vital instrument of monetary policy controlled either by the government or the central bank. These are regulated from time to time to control inflation and unemployment levels. If interest rates are reduced, there is a greater credit off-take from the banks. This is done to fuel development.
