Free Shipping Will Bring a Great Deal of Savings

maj02 — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 03:29:25 -0600

Most of us prefer to shop online because when we buy the things we need online we will be able to save a lot of money. However, if we don’t pay attention while shopping we will end up paying more than what we would have paid at our local retail store. When we buy things online, they need to be shipped to our door steps. This costs a lot of money depending on the shipping distance. Some online stores try to offset the cheap prices they offer for their products through high shipping prices.

The Failure of Asset allocation & Commodity Trading

andrabr9 — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 23:56:30 -0600

There was a very interesting article in the Wall Street Journal this morning stating that Asset allocation has failed.

The article states ” The financial crisis has sent many financial advisers, academics and investors back to the drawing board”. What I do not understand is how can financial professionals still overlook commodity trading and trend following. In commodity trading virtually every type of product used in human existence is considered to be traded. When I mean traded.. I mean if there is a trend to be followed. It does not matter if it is soymeal or feeder cattle or gold or oil, these commodities trend. When there is a trend, trend following commodity traders put themselves in the position to profit. More so the correlation to stocks and bonds is small.

Warren Buffett says second stimulus might be needed

YoungWarren — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 22:41:26 -0600

WASHINGTON (Reuters) — Legendary investor Warren Buffett said in an interview aired Thursday that unemployment could hit 11% and a second stimulus package might be needed as the economy struggles to recover from recession.

Buffett, the billionaire founder of Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA/BRKB), said Americans suffered "a shock to the system" from the economic difficulties in the final quarter of last year but had started to rebound.

"We're not in a freefall, but we're not in a recovery either," he told ABC's Good Morning America.

"We were in a freefall really in the last quarter of last year, starting in the financial markets and spreading to the economy, and we had this huge change in behavior."

Buffett, a supporter of President Obama during last year's election campaign, said a second economic stimulus package might be needed. The Obama administration says it does not see a need for a second stimulus yet.

"I think a second one may well be called for. It is not a panacea. A stimulus is the right thing. You hope it doesn't get watered down," he said.

He likened the first $787 billion stimulus package passed by Congress to "half a tablet of Viagra and then having also a bunch of candy mixed in — it doesn't have really quite the wallop."

Buffett said unemployment had "a ways to go" and he would not be surprised to see it hit 11% before it recovers.

"I'm not predicting it but no that would not surprise me," he said of the 11% figure.

"We're going to come out of this better than ever, the best days of America lie ahead but not next week or next month," he said.

Google CEO: New operating system changes the game

PersonalTech — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 21:35:12 -0600

Google Inc. Chief Executive Eric Schmidt can't wait for the Internet search leader's free operating system to debut next year.

But he admits his excitement is a relatively recent phenomenon, having spent his first six years as Google's CEO trying to convince company co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin that developing an operating system to compete against Microsoft Corp.'s dominant Windows franchise would be a terrible idea.

Schmidt didn't think the timing was right and, worse, he didn't want Google to get into a potentially bruising battle with the world's largest software maker. His change of heart shows how far Google has come since Page and Brin started the Mountain View, California-based company in a Silicon Valley garage nearly 11 years ago.

Schmidt now believes Google can withstand whatever counter punches Microsoft might throw as the company sets out to make computers cheaper to buy and more enjoyable to use with an operating system tied to Google's 9-month-old browser, Chrome.

"They are game changers," Schmidt during a 75-minute interview Thursday with a group of reporters at an exclusive media conference in the Idaho mountains.

The operating system, due out in the second half of 2010, threatens to chip away at Microsoft's market share in the low end of the PC market -- the less expensive and less powerful laptops known as "netbooks" which are becoming increasingly popular among consumers primarily interested in surfing the Web.

Both Schmidt and Page, who accompanied the CEO during the interview, sought to downplay Google's showdown with Microsoft. It's also something Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates didn't want to discuss when he was approached at the same conference by The Associated Press earlier Thursday.

But Page couldn't resist taking some veiled shots at Windows. Without mentioning Windows, he suggested Microsoft's operating system is becoming archaic as people spend more and more of their computer time in a Web browser.

"The way we are think about it is if you are living your life online, maybe you don't want everything (on computers) that came from Eric's generation," Page, 36, said as he smiled at the 54-year-old Schmidt.

Page said he will consider the operating system a resounding success if people don't realize what's controlling their computers.

"You want the computer to get out of the way and just let you get your work done," he said.

Most industry observers believe it will take years before the Chrome operating system develops into a serious challenger to Microsoft's Windows, which runs on more than 1 billion PCs, according to Collins Stewart analyst Sandeep Aggarwal.

But the Chrome operating system also could put Google into direct competition with Apple Inc., a computer maker whose board of directors includes Schmidt and another Google director, Arthur Levinson. The Federal Trade Commission already is taking a look at whether Schmidt's and Levinson's overlapping with Google and Apple threaten to diminish competition.

But Schmidt doesn't see a conflict. He said he doesn't intend to recuse himself from Apple board discussions about computer operating systems like he does when the directors talk about Apple's iPhone. Google also makes a mobile operating system called Android.

Some computer makers already are considering using Android as an operating system in netbooks, but both Page and Schmidt said they think Android is better suited for handheld devices. They also think elements of the Android and Chrome systems could eventually merge.

Schmidt and Page did discuss other topics besides Chrome, including the rapidly growing online messaging service Twitter Inc. and Facebook Inc., the leading online hangout for socializing.

As long as the Internet market is still expanding, Schmidt said he doesn't view either as serious threats now because Google's internal studies show those who sign up for Twitter and Facebook tend to use the company's search engine even more. He also said Google has held discussions with Twitter on a lot of different issues, including getting better access to Twitter's posts so they will show up more quickly in Google's search results.

But the Chrome operating system dominated the interview, which has become an annual rite for Schmidt at a conference where most of the top executives in attendance try to elude reporters.

Although Google won't charge for the Chrome operating system, Schmidt said it could easily pay off by driving down the cost of computers so people can afford to buy more machines and surf the Web more often. Google wants people to spend more time online because it is the biggest seller of Internet ads -- the main source of its more than $20 billion in annual revenue.

Most of Google's income flows from short text-based ads appearing alongside search results and other online content. Schmidt predicted display ads -- video and online billboards -- will be Google's next billion-dollar business, although he didn't forecast when the threshold would be broken.

The DoubleClick ad-serving division that delivers most of Google's display ads will generate about $275 million in revenue this year, estimated Collins Stewart's Aggarwal. Google bought DoubleClick for $3.2 billion in March 2008.

Google's overall growth has been slowing in the past year as the U.S. economy has slipped deeper into its worst recession since World War II. Schmidt believes the worst part of the collapse is over, but warned it may be years before the U.S. economy is booming again. He said sluggish growth and consumer frugality could be the "new normal."

But he suggested those conditions won't stop Google from becoming even more powerful.

"People are addicted to the Internet in a good way," Schmidt said. "They are not going to give up their Internet no matter what."

Health-care-on-credit the latest bankster-bubble

Bullion Bulls — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:25:09 -0600

Anyone paying attention knows that the U.S.'s dysfunctional health-care system is on course to bankrupt the U.S. government in less than a decade. U.S. “unfunded liabilities” have soared to somewhere between $60 and $100 TRILLION – with the vast majority of that incomprehensibly huge number being medical entitlement programs.

At the same time, even with the U.S. government saddled with a totally unsustainable debt-burden, health-care expenses are the leading cause of bankruptcy for individual Americans, with 60% of all personal bankruptcies health-care related. Then there are the 50 million uninsured Americans – which (in reality) is a major reason the U.S. has the worst-performing health-care system in the world.
