Facebook - Coolest Stock on the Block?
In case you hadn't heard, one of the most anticipated floats in recent history is likely to come to market this year. And no, it's not Mighty River Power. Facebook, already the stuff of Hollywood movies, is gearing up for an initial public offering (IPO) that will add a new chapter to the social network's story.
Capital Tax the Best Option for Economy
In its election campaign Labour promoted a capital gains tax. That at least recognises that we have a terrible hole in our tax base, and what results is a misallocation of capital to the detriment of the economy.

Suze Orman is Wrong
Suze Orman is wrong and I want to correct her folly. In her recent book, Women and Money, Orman starts from the premise that women are less than smart when it comes to managing money. By inference, this concept extends to women professionals as well. As a female who was a financial adviser, and also a board certified neurologist and psychiatrist, I understand money and the way women think. Over my investment and scientific careers, I’ve learned that women have just the right mix of caution, willingness to learn, intuition and appreciation of their innermost needs and desires to invest money well. They are smart about money, not dumb as Orman suggests. This is why.

Learning to love the high dollar
The New Zealand dollar has risen rapidly since December last year. At the time of writing it was valued at just over US81c, which is up around 7.5 per cent from the middle of December. The New Zealand-US exchange rate is close to its highest level since it was floated in March 1985.
Holes in Labour's Health-By-Stealth Line
At my 5th birthday party, my mother served up jelly mixed with grated carrot. I clearly remember one of my cousins being aghast at this perversion of a sacred dessert. He viewed it as an attempt to poison us by stealth. I did not notice the carrot until it was pointed out to me, so it was probably a tactic my mother repeatedly used to great success.
Investors Need to Be Mindful of Hindsight
On July 1, KiwiSaver will turn 5. By then it looks as if we'll be just short of two million members with a total of about $12 billion in retirement savings accounts. That sounds like quite a success story and far exceeds the early predictions for the scheme, although Treasury studies remain unenthusiastic about KiwiSaver's contribution to lifting national savings.

3.2 Investing in jobs and the community: Working Out of Poverty
Spending on infrastructure represents about 20 per cent of total investment in developing countries, and from 40 to 60 per cent of public investment, according to the World Bank. A reorientation of policies on infrastructure investment to ensure that technically viable and cost-effective employment-intensive options are used speeds the reduction of poverty by generating productive and decent employment. The challenge is to develop the appropriate mix of capital- and employment-intensive investment techniques according to each country’s needs and resources.
Can Emerging Markets Follow China's FDI Growth Recipe?
China's ability to attract massive amounts of foreign investment does not derive entirely from its economic growth rate or the size of its population, observed Stephen J. Kobrin, Professor of Multinational Management, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, USA. Rather, China leads the developing world in liberalizing its foreign investment policies, he noted. Felipe Larra Bascu Professor of Economics, Catholic University of Chile, Chile, challenged this view, saying he believed that it was China's large marketplace, high growth rate and low costs rather than its investment policies driving FDI. Between these extremes, Paul A. Laudicina, Managing Director, A.T. Kearney, USA, said that interviews with his firm's clients revealed that it was both the size of China's marketplace and its policies that were luring investment.
