The recruiter's crystal ball!

Would it not be great if we all were to know what most of the recruiters are looking for in the applicants and if we could get our dirty,grimy hands on a crystal ball that did just that. It seems that we, job aspirants have finally managed to do just that. The following is what the recruiters are looking for in the new applicants and I have listed them all below.

1.Skill improvement:
To shape up what ever skills that you may have and to hone it further.

2.Stick with your values:
It is always a good thing to stand up for your values and not to change them.

3.Do not burn bridges:
This is one advice that every job aspirant needs to look into. It is always better to build bridges than burn them.

4.Present like a Pro:
To be able to present oneself and to do it effectively so that a really good first impression is formed.

5.Align with your strengths:
To know what your strengths are and to concentrate on them.

6.Speak up:
This is one thing that almost every new applicant has problems with, so this is one area that they would most definitely have to work on.

The Calculator that one must have!

From the title one may think that this is a calculator for calculating math problems and you would be partly right. it is not about math, but rather a poker calculator that one utilises for calculating the odds in a hand of poker.
This is a must have for all the serious poker players out there, I am one of them and I know that halfway through a hand,I often get confused with calculating the odds and this often led me to make some really dumb mistakes that I normally would not have.
This site is great in the way that it is designed and all, it is very easy to use and its calculator is really fantastic. With the help of this calculator, one can calculate all the poker odds that one needs to know in order to win a hand of Poker.
So if you are one of those serious poker players out there and would really love to get an edge over the other players, then you do most definitely need the holdem calculator.

Oil jumps again , this time because of Turkey!

The oil prices seem more and more exposed to the world politics than it is to the basic economics. These days, anytime there is a strike in any of the middle eastern countries, the immediate perception is that there is going to be a oil supply problem and that the 'Black gold' is going to get more rarer.
All of this is rubbish, of course. It is the case of the man who has too much, he only has too much as long as the rest of the humans want it, so consistent problems on the supply front will cause the demand to drop in the long rum and may also result in the demand disappearing altogether. Of course, this need not be the same in the Oil front, but it is high time that OPEC realises that they should make the necessary corrections to compensate for any such strikes that may take place on any of the middle eastern countries. If they want to consider themselves as a professional organisation, then it is high time that they start acting like it!

The engagement rings that one would desire!

When one get to the stage of purchasing engagement rings, one would naturally want the best possible ones that ones money can buy. I have to say that when I went surfing online for rings, I never thought that I would find a site that is do comprehensive as far as rings go. I never thought that one would need to consider tension settings as well, when one is thinking of purchasing rings.
This site is literally like a walk-in-shop with all of your queries answered very quickly. I was looking for just an ordinary ring but I have to say that I am very impressed by the way that this site has listed its products.
The diamonds are beautiful in their setting in the ring and being a diamond ring, I thought that the pricing would be astronomical, but was I pleasantly surprised.
So, yes, if it is rings that you are after, even wedding rings, then this is the place to come to. By the way, the categories here are just endless and there are also certain collections on display, so if you want to purchase collections like the M.Geller collection, here is where you would have to come to!

Recession knockin' on the door of Lady Liberty!

The Government is falling over itself with trying to do its best to prevent any financial crisis, but it is too late to shut the doors after all the horses have bolted.

The beginning of the sub prime crisis should have put the government on notice, but now, it is just too late to prevent anything from taking place. What has been put into motion cannot be stopped now, all one can do is to go with the flow. Both Martin Feldstein and former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan are urging the government to do more to prevent any further escalation. Lets not forget that this is the same Greenspan who said that the sub prime crisis would 'blow away'.

Anyway, this is not the time to point fingers, but the time to do a reassessment and see what can be done to prevent anything like this from happening again.
No government is going to hand out money from the treasury to the citizens, but instead what the president can do is to waive the taxes for the affected people and that is just a small step in the right direction. Lets all hope that we do not get into any other war, any time soon, our economy cannot take any more pressure!

The phone card shopping mall!

THIS IS A SPONSORED REVIEW!


These days it makes much more sense to purchase call cards or phone cards before we travel anywhere. These cards, besides allowing us to make the calls from anywhere to any other place in the universe, come with various offers, that your international calls end up becoming dirt cheap.
These guys are what one can possibly term as the 'shopping mall' for all phone card, call cards of any size and shape. You can get the very latest cards with huge offers from these guys. They also have the very latest in call cards, the ones with the ANI recognition, that totally makes 'dialing the pin' totally obsolete. These guys carry about 459 different cards from a variety of vendors, it is like walking into a shopping mall, with so many cards, naturally, these guys are the best in the business and definitely the people to go to if you are in need of a card. Just click on the link above and check out their shop, you will know what I mean.

The News takes a backseat to the Entertainment!

As the winter is on us, one would think that movies like 'The Grinch' would have some impact on both the big studios and the networks. But they are not listening to the common man on the street and what is more, by prolonging the Writers strike, they are only emphasising that they are in this only for themselves.
The sad part of all this is that as a result of this strike, one can say good bye to the Xmas programmes. The winter is blowing hard and cold, the blizzards are on us and the hearts of all the production houses, the networks and the writers has all become solid chunks of ice!

It is the turn of the common man to get affected now as we would soon stop seeing our favorite programmes. The funny part is that the networks are all covering up the upcoming gaps with entertainment shows which they had not telecast earlier and have all given the 'bye,bye' to the news programmes. One would think that this would be the time for the networks to come out with more programmes like Panorama and stuff like that, instead we are going to get stuck with pussycat dolls and the likes of such! It is indeed one bleary Christmas!

Want to talk?

The new way of meeting new Friends or dates seems to be the chatting on the phone. This site is great in the sense that we can use the chat lines that are available here and talk to anyone and everyone that we feel like 'chatting up' with. The great part is that we do not have to give any of our personal details to who ever we chat up with. Before sites like this, if we had to phone chat, we had to call up the other person on the phone and by this neither our number or the number of the person we would call would be private.
But with this company, that detail is kept private and if you express the desire to chat with, say, person x, all you have to do was to request a chat line with that person and this company would put you in touch with that person. This way, neither of us would have to give out any of our personal details. The best part of all this is that here there is the option of free chat as long as the person we talk to is local. All in all, this does make up for one interesting experience!

The Hollywood strike explores the Gandhi movement!

The writers strike has taken a new turn with the Guild representing the writers pretty much throwing in the towel after the organisation representing the producers have walked out on them. This certainly represents the writers with a dilemma, as to whether they are prepared to cave in and go back to status quo as the producers and the studios would have them do so or to stand up and fight for their rights!

All this strike has managed to do so far is to almost cripple the Hollywood industry as we know it, most of the television shows are fast running out of scripts and soon they would either have to telecast only reruns or cancel the show altogether. At least the serials can telecast reruns whereas the reality shows may even have to be taken off the air altogether. Which is why when the Guild announced to the writers that they would be approaching the production houses with the aim of ending this strike, one way or the other, thereby bypassing the association representing the studios and the producers, the writers and the David Letterman show welcomed the decision whole heartily.

David Letterman, although a member of the association that had been talking with the writers unsuccessfully with regard to ending the strike, has welcomed the decision of the writers Guild whole heartily as this would entail that each and every production house would come to an individual agreement with the Guild. I guess, it all depends on how badly you want a new script altogether. Here is where the saying 'united we stand, divided we fall' comes to my mind. This way of striking by not working or co-operating is not new to us, I guess it all started with Mahatma Gandhi and his non cooperation movement to get the British raj to leave the Indian sub continent and I have to say that it was hugely successful then and it still is successful now. Any such movement with no violence and total non cooperation is bound to get results in the plenty. Personally I believe that the writers do deserve their just rewards and are entitled to what they are fighting for now. I hope that they do get it and that the show goes on!

Light Crude goes up by 1.90$ !

The common economics states that as the inventory falls, more pressure is exerted on the supply as the demand for that product is constant and ever increasing. What am I talking about? I am talking about the price of Oil and the price tango that it seems to go into each and every time the Energy department announces to the world that the Inventories have either fallen or risen.
The rise in inventory would make the oil prices to swing the other way about and this time around, the inventory stocks in the United states has fallen by at least 700,000 barrels last week, according to the energy dept. Naturally this has started exerting more pressure on the crude supplies and the factors that can effect the supply of Oil to the United states. Naturally as this news broke out, the immediate effect today is the rise in the price for Light Crude for January delivery which has risen by 1.90$ to 91.92$ a barrel on the NY Mercantile Exchange.

The Oil market is tight as it is with the OPEC not really into making more deliverables than the current content. And at times like this if there is any news of a skirmish in the middle east or another Palestine - Israel conflict, that will have a very resounding impact on the Oil prices or if Bush were to get more hawkish on Iran or the entire Middle east, that will most definitely make the Oil reach for fresh pastures beyond the 105$ range.

What one should remember is that inventories rise and inventories fall, but it is when the inventories fall that one should take into account the other factors like the geo political factors. It is at times like this that the price of the Light Crude as well as the entire Oil market is most vulnerable and with the way that the U.S economy is under right now, we most certainly do not need a 'bullish' Oil market as that would only extend undue influence on the already falling Dollar and may even push it into the Nether world!

The DOW zooms up by 250 points!

Finally the FED has managed to unify its plan with the other central banks and thereby alleviate the current credit crisis. The credit crunch is so bad that getting a car loan is in fact even more difficult than buying a car from the dealer on a standby basis. The markets reacted favorably to the news that all the central banks have managed to get moving on a common plan to alleviate the Credit crunch that is so evident in the markets today.
The DOW which had sagged unfavorably after the recent FED rate cut, seems to have finally shaken off the Bear claws and has started moving in the right direction,up. But of course, as soon as the sub prime disaster had hit the markets, this is what all the banks should have done. It has taken them this long to do what should have been done a long time back, but the investors and that includes me as well are all happy that they have finally show some backbone and have acted. One can only hope and pray that this momentum in the markets will continue on!

That very extra bit of provident!

THIS POST IS SPONSORED!

Today, the world is facing a huge economic crisis and the credit crunch has just started the 'squeeze'. These days, asking the bank to loan you even a farthing seems to be a difficult task to perform. That said, I have to say that Provident Capital is doing a fantastic job of lending the money to the right quarters and helping us to finance our business ventures.
With bank loan applications pending for weeks on end, many businessmen often turn to unscrupulous agencies for a bit of a loan to fund their business ventures. Which is why, I for one am glad that there are companies like Provident capital here to lend us a helping hand in this time of great need by all of us and on that note I have to say that the interest rates as well as the payment plans are really attractive! So just click on the link above and come on in!

Arizona Big brother jumps on the Immigration bandwagon!

Arizona often touted as the IIEC[illegal immigration employment capital] of the United states may well soon lost that title altogether to Florida. With the recent law and the corresponding lawsuit filed against it, it has brought the issue of the Illegal immigration back into focus.

Of course, the question as to whether it is legal to hire an Illegal immigrant knowing that he/she is one, is currently illegal in Arizona the ex IIEC of the United states. But the recent suit against that very law that declares this to be illegal, seems to be far from over. The judge did not throw out the case because he considered it to be frivolous, but rather that it was filed against the wrong people and since it is a state law, it should be the state authorities in the dock and not the federal authorities, well as far as I could make out, that seems to be the reason.

All indications are that this law is already running into some problems and they are just bound to get a whole lot worse in the next couple of weeks. The question of whether it is right to hire illegal immigrants is one that has been bought in sharp focus by all this. There are those who will say that this law is the right one and that once the Illegal immigrants see that Arizona no longer has jobs for them, they will stop coming into Arizona. Then again, there are those who will argue that since the immigrants are already here, this law will deprive them of livelihood and so it is against human decency to do so. The employers will be on the side of the illegal immigrants since they will be losing a very valuable workforce. All in all, it is one dilemma that the state authorities would have to address very soon in a court of law!

No go for the Hollywood writers!

Today more and more of those writers are turning to blogs and websites to earn a few dollars here and there as there seems to be no end to the Writer's strike. The Impasse continues with neither side willing to concede anything and as usual hard words are often exchanged through the very media that has been a bone of contention between the two of them. The writers want a bigger piece of the action as they often see their works being advertised on the WWW as well as the DVD releases.

I am not here to say who is right and who is wrong, but the fact of the matter is that if this Impasse continues any longer, there are many, many freelance writers who are more than willing to take on the contracts. It is high time that both these sides realise that they cannot do without one another, one one had the current writers provide a uniqueness to all the current Hollywood shows and television series that no freelance writer can bring to the table. And the writers should realise that sooner or later all patience is going to go right out of the window and soon, they are going to find themselves out of a lucrative job which may well go to the freelance writers of this world!

Speak in Spanish? Book your hotels in Spanish!

Whenever we travel the language barrier is one of our biggest problems in the sense that you would not even be able to convey the most simple of requests across to the other person. It does make one wonder how the early travellers had all communicated like the case of Marco polo and the Chinese, the only answer I have for that is that he must have spent some time learning the Chinese language. Well, when we travel we do not have that much time that we can spend on learning a foreign language and as such, we often have to make do with lousy hand signals. But thanks to descuento en hoteles, now that need not be the case any longer!
Here all the Spanish speaking people can go up and speak in Spanish and make all the bookings and reservations that they want. Yes, you heard me right, it seems that the days of not being able to convey your decisions across are over, especially for the Spanish speaking people residing in the United states. And the best part is that here, you have round the clock service , where they go out of their way to make sure that you as their customer are best cared for and that you have found the hotel room that is the best one for you!

The man purse!

It seems that I am still on the issue of 'Purses and Wallets', the fact of the matter is that we are all so focused on the way that we look that we can devote an entire day just looking at things which are supposed to carry our cash and then spend tons of our hard earned cash on it so that we can tot an nearly empty purse/wallet to our friends and all. It really does not make any sense in any way you care to think about it.
Now days even the Men are getting to be as equally finicky about what they want to carry their cash in. Gone are the days when a Man would just dump his money into his pocket and crumple the notes in the process. Now days, we have the purse for the Man himself and we tend to call it the Man purse. It really has come a long way since the times when only a woman was associated with the purse, these days any ad that you look at for purses and wallets will carry both the Men and the Women in it as the link above will show you clearly. The wallets are getting smaller and so are the purses and want to take a guess as to what is getting bigger all the time, you guessed it right, it is the price and today it is reaching astronomical levels!

The wallets are getting smaller!

Whether it has anything to do with the way that the economies all over the world are performing or not, of late the new wallets in the market are not only slimmer but they are a whole lot smaller. I fail to understand what is the need for smaller wallets, as such the wallets that we all use are of the right size, but it seems that they want to turn this into a version of the micro versus the macro thing in the wallet market. Soon, we many run out of space to keep our cash and cards in, then why on earth would we need a wallet at all?

The credit cards that are great!

To finally have a credit card search engine is just fantastic, because with it,now we can actually search and find the cards that suit us the best. There are so many credit cards that are available in today's market that one rarely knows which one to pick and choose from. But with this we ca compare all the Fair Credit Credit Cards and compare all the offers they are offering for their clients and customers.
Normally the credit cards often offer varying rates of interest and this can be one of the factors by which we can sort through the whole lot and pick the one that suits us the best.The credit cards also offer various rewards and compensation packages, some of the cards that are listed here include the leading U.S Credit Card issuers such as J.P. Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank and leading brands Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Card. So to choose one that fits you well, click on the link above!

Santa chief is here at last!

I am sure that I had covered the holiday mood in the United states yesterday, especially with the current financial crisis far from over. The end result being that most of the holiday cheer seems to have disappeared with everyone and anyone in the United states going into the 'conserve' mood. Well, I can understand that with banks going tougher on credit and loans and with Mortgages, all one can do these holidays is to shop for discounts or at the least try and find where one can get some.
Well, that need not be your worry any longer, especially as the CouponChief.com is here with brand new exciting offers and discounts. Actually the amount of coupons they have here and the discounts that they offer pretty much makes this a 'must see' store. The next time you want to purchase your dad some of the Old Navy stuff, go here to make use of the fantastic discounts that they have. Or if you are looking for some of the more expensive stuff like electronics, just stop by the Dell and make use of the fantastic coupons that they have , because with those coupons, you can get all of the stuff pretty much at throwaway prices! Just follow the links and you are in!

The DOW surges by 200 points due to Citigroup confidence!

For a change, today saw the DOW rebound by 200 points as the news of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority investing more than 7.5 million$ in the already beleaguered Citigroup leaked out. This move is seem as a mark of confidence in the American economy and in this gloomy times, this news was indeed a welcome one at that.
But the underlying problems still remain and the investors confidence is indeed very much shaken at the very least.
So just because the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority has invested in Citigroup does not mean that all the sub prime and the mortgage disasters are gone, sadly they are still very much there. This is one mess that we all will have to run through and there is just no way that any investment in American companies is going to make that go away!

How costly is healthcare these days?

These days Health care costs is spiralling out of control as the Dollar takes a beating in the markets. With all the resounding effects being felt over all the industries, the Health care is not immune to this Dollar tango, no pun intended. With the health care costs being so much these days, the people may have to start looking for other options like cheaper health care and cheaper benefits that many suit their budgets.
The cost of the medical equipment and home health care products alone is astronomical these days and which is why I am glad that there is a company like Allegro medicals. This company is an Online retailer of medical equipment, home health care products, as well as a host of many other mainstream retail products as well. The best part is that all the products here are given out at very attractive rates that you may not even have to worry about the health care costs at all. This company has about 55,000 products, under 50 categories and hundreds of sub-categories and also offers great offers and discounts in its The Free Allegro eCatalog. With all of this, this company and its various products that are on offer, make this a much better alternative to the high costs of health care that we have at present in the United state. So what are you waiting for? Just click on the link above!

The Gold buys are now!

With the Dollar as low as it is today, these are the days that one should purchase gold as the price for gold has really taken a tumble with the dollar being so low as it is today. But the low price of gold may not increase its sales as the U.S markets are still struggling with the credit crunch. Be that as it may, if you are seeking to purchase gold for festive reasons, then these are the days for purchasing them, or you can also reinvest in gold futures as they are looking a whole lot more attractive these days.

The holidays or the homes?

With everyone feeling the pinch of the mortgages these days, the holiday celebrations are muted. It has almost become a case of either 'celebrate the holidays or get to keep the house' in most of the middle class homes all over the United states. People who used to take a winter vacation are nowdays staying at homes to make sure that they have the necessary payment to cover their mortgages. Since the credit crunch, more and more people are conserving their spending and budgeting their expenses.

Online research for easy local purchases!

Whenever we try to search or a product on most of the major search engines, we often get a location of the shop that is thousands of miles away from our place and that is the truth. The reality is that most of the search engines do not make your life easier for you, of course they will dispute this, bit the fact of the matter is that the results are often based on the amount of traffic that site gets. So lets say that you want to purchase a giant screen LCD television set, and you want to search some of the major search engines for the pricing and the location of the shop nearest to you and the directions to get to that place. You decide to search for it online with these search engines and the results you get will be enormous, like in the millions, and you will have to manually sift and sort through all of them personally before you can get to that local listing. See how difficult it is, here is where Krillion comes in.
With Krillion, you can search for the pioneer 50 inch LCD locally and get the pricing, local listing as well as the directions to get there. It has certainly made my life easier and now I have no problems with doing my online research and offline purchases. The next time you want to purchase anything and you want to do a bit of a research before you do that, then go to the link above and you will see that Krillion is the one that will guide you to the right place! So click on!

The DOW goes down by 210 points!

The Stock markets all over the world have seen dramatic movements both ways all over the year but none have seen the consistent negative reading that the Dow has been giving off late. Of course, it is not the Dow that is to blame but rather the investors are fast losing their faith on the US economy. Today saw the Dow Jones decline by about 210 points and according to many analysts, we should expect more of the same in the near future. The Freddie mac news of losing nearly 2 billion$ has hit the markets very hard and on top of that we had Countrywide declare some major losses as well and to make matters worse, we had the analysts downgrade Freddie mac which by the way has also led to its counterpart Frannie mae reporting huge losses as well. The stocks of both Freddie mac and Countrywide has taken quite a beating especially with the news that there may be some liquidity problems in Countrywide in the very near future.
Things are bound to get worse before they get better but the million dollar question is 'how much worse are things going to get to?'. Well, according to most economic analysts, they are going to get a whole lot worse and that what we are seeing now is nothing much compared to what is yet to happen. Of course, no one is a Nostradamus here and as such anything can happen in the future, but the fact of the matter is that as day by day goes and we keep hearing more and more bad news, we are all losing our confidence in the American economy!

Budget shopping is the craze now!

With all the economic tumbles that has taken place the shoppers to today are no longer splurging and have turned to discount stores in droves for the holiday season and the purchases. The crowds are going crazy for 'any discount that they can find on the shopping they have to do. It may be the season to be jolly but everyone is feeling the pinch this season. With the Dollar losing its purchasing power day by day, it is no wonder that the gloom has set in. With all this going on, most of the companies are seriously pondering layoffs for this year so as to minimise their loss. One can only hope that the New Year will indeed bring some new hope to the already beleaguered Dollar and the financial woes that we all are going through this season!

The Capella life!

Education is the one important thing that we as Humans have contributed and are still contributing to, It is the one thing that has advanced our civilization more than anything else. Knowledge is power and that is more true today than ever before. As such, to countless foreign students aiming to pursue their higher studies in the United States, it may not be possible due to the high cost of transportation as well as the cost of the education. Education, at least the good quality ones come with a price tag that is simply just too high for most of these deserving students.
Which is why, I for one am glad that a place called the capella university is there. Capella university does not only provide an education opportunity for most of the students, local and foreign, but it provides a good quality education at that. It has about 104 graduate and undergraduate specializations and 15 certificate programs and to list them all here will take up all the space that I have. Lets just say that Capella university has made the online education strive for a better tomorrow by the high quality education that it gives out. The best part is that although the education that is offered by Capella is of the finest quality that one can get, it is also priced most attractively so that almost all of the students can afford it. Want to check it out? Just go to the links above and have fun!

The slots that you can not do without!

Everyone must have heard of Slot machines by now, it is one entertainment that we can not do without. I guess you can also call it a kind of stress buster, as it does that very effectively. These days one can find such entertainment online on the Internet, which is why they are called online slots. This site is really fantastic in the sense they have every kind of slot machine available at their site and I have to say that their collection is enormous, by any standards.
The slot machine is probably the best one that one will ever find online. Not only is it neatly designed but it is also very fast and effective. This is great especially when you think that there are sites where the game of slots will literally 'hang' the site up. With all the latest advances made in the field of graphics and multi media, playing the game of slots at this site is a real thrill seeker. Besides the slot machines the service that one gets here is next to the very best, so click on the links and come right on in!

Why should we pay Tax?

No one likes the Taxman and paying taxes is not something that one would like to do regularly. The sad truth as to why the common man finds paying tax as pointless is mainly due to the incompetence of the politicians all over the world. As such the people all over the world are losing faith in their collective governments and the society as a whole.
So when a common man is asked to pay his or her tax, it is only natural that he or she will view it with suspicion, if the corresponding development were to take place and if such a development were to benefit the common man then he or she would naturally be much more willing to shell out a part of their pay to the government. The Tax disillusionment is one main reason as to why people are more prone to hide their money and assets than declare it to the tax man. It is not because they do not like the idea of paying tax, although that may be the main reason for some of them, but by and large, they really do not see the point in paying such a tax as they do not see much development taking place. Also the common man thinks that most of his or her tax dollars goes to the politicians pockets, so why should he continue to pay his tax? The year ending[ financial year] is not all that far away, just a few months down the line, and right after that, we have to declare our assets and pay our tax, for good or for worse,Personally I think that this system is not perfect and that there should be a system by which the government should explain as to what they are doing with our tax dollars[ I do not mean the budget], but rather explain to the public as to the spending and the expense bills that every politicians runs up to astronomical amounts. Am I right in asking this?

Oil touches 100$ - well almost!

With various issues raising their heads all over the world starting from the Musharraf emergency and worries about Pakistani nuclear weapons to Iran and the nuclear weapons program to Middle east violence all these seem to be contributing a lot these days to the Oil bull run. With no end to saber rattling in sight, the Oil is bound to remain high for the next few days anyway.
This is all the more true as the demands on Oil futures seem to keep going up and as usual OPEC is not going to do much about the 100$ dash. With no end to all this in sight,maybe it is time that we all took to the issue of 'alternative fuels' a bit more seriously!

Headhunting becomes all too easy!

Canada crude fire and a weak Dollar push the crude prices up!

Everything seems to be pushing the Crude prices up, up and up. Now we get to hear about the Canadian fire that seems to have hit some of the Crude supply to the North American side of the continent and that coupled with the weak Dollar seems to be egging the Crude prices way up.
The recently held OPEC conference did not do much for any of us in the sense that all that was decided was to increase the supply but the catch is that the supply is not being increased right away and not by that much. So the OPEC is not going to do much with regard to the Crude prices as well; that certainly leaves the rest of the world to grapple with the rising Crude prices on its own.
Oil futures seems to be a welcome destination these days for many a foreign investor and they all seem to be buying the futures like there is no tomorrow, since a weak Dollar means great profits to be made in the oil futures as they will give you fantastic returns at a future date. This seems to be the case as the Fed is once again mulling rate cuts. From now on, we can expect the Crude prices and by that I mean the gas prices to head in only one direction and that is up!

Wall street gets the hives ahead of the FED minutes!

With all the sub prime losses facing the markets, one would think that the Wall street would be reading the situation much more clearly but that has not yet happened. All that we are getting out of the Wall street these days are a knee jerk reaction to any financial data that comes out. Today was no exception, especially with the news that the Fed minutes can be expected any moment. That was all it took to blow some life back in to a heavily battered stock market.

Movie star autographs - do you want them?

This concept of getting the Autograph of famous people is really quite old in the sense that since time immemorial, we have always wanted to share in the glow of the rich and the famous. The only difference is that now we no longer have to stand in long lines for it or undergo any other hardship for it. This company provides its services to us by getting us these autographs for a reasonable price.
The great thing about this site is that it is so neatly designed and has a very organised feel throughout the site. Film stars to one side then the sports section to another and there are other sections as well. Can you imagine what will your grandson or granddaughter say about a signed autograph of Rowling, the creator of Harry potter? They would be in the seventh heaven. That is not all, collecting the Autographs is also an investment in the sense that 30 years from now, the autographs that you acquired with the help of this site would have become 10 times as valuable. They are just like the baseball cards, the older the card, the older and more famous the autograph is, the higher its value.
I guess getting a Signed Photo of Bo Derek would definitely be the high point for some people. The neat thing about having such a memorabilia is that the older it gets the more valuable it becomes. I am sure that today, Lincoln's autograph will definitely sell for thousands of dollars in the market today. So care to make an investment, if so, just click on the links above and come on in!

Dollar seems to be eating the dust these days!

Well at least it is official at last, almost all the currencies are leaving the Dollar eating their dust, even the Yen is becoming resurgent to the Dollar much to the chagrin of the central bank of Japan, even if they wanted to fiddle the forex market which is what they always do to keep the Yen down, but this time around the sentiment of the whole market is against that.
Today saw the Indian Rupee end a losing streak against the Dollar and surge ahead to cap all the losses it had made in the last few days. With the Bull market showing no signs of slowing down and a very strong resurgent economy, this is to be expected. But on a cautious note to all the forex dealers out there, keep in mind that the Indian Rupee is not yet a free flowing currency, that is, it has not yet become Fully Convertible and in such scenarios, the Reserve bank of India is a whole lot more protective towards the Indian rupee and they will ensure that it swings either way within a very narrow margin.
But it is this very margin, that is the 1$ to 39 INR range that is giving much excitement and joy to the forex dealers world wide. One can even say that no other currency is showing so much volatility within such narrow ranges and people are just making bundles on mere movements of just 10 paisa on either side. It is like a Forex market within a Forex market, with only 2 players, the Indian rupee and the U.S Dollar. What goes up comes down in the afternoon and by the evening, the strong economic data of the day boosts the Indian rupee all over again. So people get to make money not just once or twice but three times a day. It is no wonder that nearly all the forex dealers that I met today have a big smile on their faces and they just cant seem to stop talking about the Indian Rupee and the falling Dollar!

The right payday help!

As often when we need help with our finances, we often tend to make dumb decisions and then tend to make them even worse by doing something even more dumber. We all need that extra bit of help as without it where would we be? The holiday season is almost on us and to be honest I can only think of the impact that these holidays are going to have on my wallet. There are so many gifts to buy and what is more ,a holiday to plan as well. At times like these, it often becomes difficult to make both ends meet.
When we are faced with such a scenario we often tend to either sell something that is priceless to us or tend to ask our friends for money. The first one is really dumb and when we sell them, we often cannot sell it for its true worth. Where as the second one is even dumber, since we all need our friends and often asking our friends for money may see them rushing out of the door once and for ever. There are many sensible options that we can use in such situations and the best amongst them is the option of Faxless Payday Loans.
This site is one of the best in the sense that they offer you quotes right away with no strings attached and the service is done very quickly. You can apply online and the whole process takes only a moment of your valuable time. Their rates of interest are quite low when compared to the others and what is more , they have a very attractive repayment plan. So of all the sites that i saw on payday loans these guys are the best, at least in my opinion they most certainly are. So check them out and go to the link above and do some debt consolidation!

Dollar hitting new lows against the yen!

Today the Dollar is trading at new lows against the Yen, currently trading in the 110 margin. Just a few months back the Dollar was at 118 to the Yen but with the subprime and the housing market the Dollar is fast heading to new slumps and it seems that it is pulling the Gold with it. Many of you know that before the 1980's the Dollar was pegged to the Gold but that has since then been de linked.

But the sentimental factor along with a really cold beary market is fast sending the Gold in the direction of the Dollar. But that is good news for the consumers in the sense that they can now get the gold jewellery at a much lower rate. But the problem is that there are not that many consumers who want to purchase anything right now and all the purses and the wallets are busy tightening and the consumer spending is getting lower. Which is why the festival season could not hae come at a much better time and with X'mas right around the corner perhaps with increased spending by way of gift purchases by the consumer and better news in the market, thew Dollar can start looking up!

The Trust that we show on product ads!

In this day and age it is nice to know that we still believe in what we see must indeed be true. But unfortunately there are a lot of others who know this as well and do their best to take advantage of our good nature. What am I talking about? I am talking about the ads that we come across online or on the telly, each and every one of those ads promising the earth and the heaven if we purchase their products.
It would sure be great if we had a site that not only reviews the products that we want to purchase but also rates them. Guess what, this site does exactly that. It reviews each and every product from provillus to the ones that promise to make you 'stop smoking'.
As you see, it is difficult to make a judgement call as we see the ads. We all need a site like this where actual people review the products and rate them accordingly. Recently I was looking at a company for a cash advance. But I was not sure if I was approaching the right company. I decided to go to this site and they managed to refer me to the right place for some payday loans. If I had gone to the wrong kind of place, their interest rates alone would have been designed to keep me in debt forever. Which is why, anytime from now,if you want to buy something, just go to the links above and check out the product or service first to see how it has been rated by actual users of that product!

The heights of Fashion!

In this day and age, if you are not wearing the latest designer clothes or the latest fashions, you are not the 'In crowd'. I know, that makes us sound very shallow, but hey so what? There is nothing wrong in looking our best,is it? There are many places that offer you the latest fashions and they all charge you an arm and a leg,literally for the purchase. It is difficult to get a place that not only6 supplies you with the latest fashions but also does it at extremely attractive rates. One such place is this site, where you can get the latest nudie wear for literally throwaway prices!
If there is one thing that is supposed to set us apart from the rest of the pack,it is the clothes more than anything else that does it. Clothes make the Man or Woman, fro top to bottom. There is just no arguing around that. Many places may offer you duplicate labels and inferior clothing for prices. Here they offer you the very latest in fashion which are not some pirated duplicates but are the real stuff. What is more, you can get the very latest in fashions like say the latest nudie jeans for really attractive rates.
Here at this site, they not only have the dresses by the labels or the category but also by the designer. They are available for both Men and Women and in all sizes and shapes.

The payday saviour!

We all have been in that place where an extra bit of cash was much needed by us. At times like those we have a tendency not to think clearly, we may do something like borrowing from our near and dear ones. Or we may even do something far worse than that, like selling off our family heirlooms for really cheap prices. Can you imagine selling off your Picasso heirloom for just a few thousand dollars when it could easily fetch millions in today's art market. That is just it, at times like those we have a tendency to do the most dumbest of things. Which is why we should explore various options like cash advance before we even to those dumb things.
The times of the holidays are the ones that are always the hardest on our wallets. At such times we often find ourselves strapped for cash and would definitely be in need of some payday loans. There are so many sites that offer this service but the most important detail that we should use the sort through such sites is the rate of interest and the payment plan. If we are not careful we may end up falling into a sort of a debt trap. Which is why after careful research I have found that this site is one of the best that is there, offering us attractive cash advance for almost nothing! So if you are in the need for sme dire cash and all you need to do is to go to the link above. This site approves your application very quickly and they also deposit the money you need right into your checking aqccount!

The software courses to jam about!

Computer courses are an essential part of every young man or woman's life. It definitely adds a boost to one's resume, after all in this world of high end technology it is definitely a 'must have' on every resume. The question is not about whether it is absolutely necessary to study about computers but rather about where to study it? With so many places offering computer courses one would have to choose one where one can be sure of getting a quality education and at the same time, a place where one is not required to pay a king's ransom in fees.
This place offers to do both and I have to say that after seeing all the other places and the fees that they charge this is certainly one of the best, at least in my books. This place offers you some of the most advanced computer training for a fraction of what it would have cost you at all those other places. That is not all what this place has to offer, on the menu is also a package on Leadership training that will certainly help you to seize matters and to take a lead in any decision making that may be required of you. So if you are in need of some software courses then all you need to do is to click on the links above and come right in!

How quickly do the rich fall!

It seems that it was only yesterday that the Indian share market touched the 20,000 mark creating a history of sorts. That by itself was a bit of remarkable news. But soon the media picked on another bit of 'juicy news' in the making. They started announcing that the recent surge in the Reliance holdings in the share market has made Mukesh Ambani the richest man in the world. That bit of news was not exactly a shocker since the whole Ambani family have a fortune of somewhere around 100 million$.

But soon Reliance came out with a press release telling the whole world that the piece of Juicy news that Mukesh Ambani was the richest man in the world is all a case of 'jumping the gun'. The fact of the matter is that Mukesh Ambani is not yet the richest man in the world but with the way that the intra day trades are taking place in the share market, it is only a matter of time before that becomes a formality!

The Tactical gear that we may all need!

I have always wondered about where the police often got their gear and stuff like that. It is true that we all do live in a world that is so full of tension. And faced with such a state of affairs it often falls upon us to do either of these two things. One either be an Ostrich and bury one's head in the sand[figuratively] and think that all is fine and it is paradise or be a realist and see if one needs to prepare oneself for any situation that may arise. This site lists some of the latest tactical gear that are currently being used by the Cops like the 5.11 Tactical Pants. So if you are interested to know more on tactical gear and need more information, just click on the link above and have all of your queries answered!

Dark news ahead for the U.S economy?

With the Fed mulling over interest rate cuts, the news that the Fed is planning a series of cuts has already sent the Dollar to new lows against some of the major currencies. Now the Fed realise that the spiralling borrowing costs, the falling housing rates along with the credit crisis, things are going to look pretty dark ahead.
Already many of the companies are feeling the heat although at the moment it is being felt only by the outsourcing companies, as they have to pay more to get the same service which they had gotten before for a lesser cost. As cost increases, the borrowing cost will also increase. With housing rates falling and the credit squeeze increasing, soon no one would want to purchase anything at all and recession would have set.
And all indications are that this may well happen in the United states and the Fed is realising this and is trying to find its way out of the dark. But even if the Fed cuts rates all across the board, all of that may be a case of 'Too little, too late'!
