Economic Tsunami Predicted in Mc Henry County
2009-09-18 19:55:00 Its bad news for those predicting an end to the slump-down of the foreclosures that had taken the sheen off most major industries, including real estate. Mc Henry County is poised to take an economic beating according to experts like Paul Hespen who is a broker with Prudential First Realty.-according to him job losses are at the root of the problem, more than the Sub-prime Crisis that had really snowballed into an economic slowdown the world over. The problem of foreclosures reared its ugly head once again this year and it has already outdone itself than last year according to findings from the Mc Henry County Circuit Clerk. In April and May, the government took initiatives to manage the Foreclosure problem, but the government’s stance was short sighted as people who had taken housing loans with modified schemes are also facing the brunt of it. Official records put the foreclosure figure at 1600+ this year compared to about 1436 in 2008. As any economist would tell you that a rise...

Economic Forecasts for 2010.
2009-08-12 09:12:00 It is a difficult time for economic forecasting. At the start of 2008, many economists were predicting only a mild slowdown. The scale of the recession took many by surprise. It seemed that whenever the worst was over, more unexpected bad news came along.Given the parlous state of the economy at the end of 2008, expectations were pretty low for 2009. Given the dismal expectations at the start of the year, things have not turned out quite as bad as the worst forecasts. This does not mean the economy is doing well. It just means, that it could have been a lot worse. (for example, markets were recently cheered by the fact US unemployment only rose 0.5m last month - they expected a lot worse)Forecasting for 2010 is difficult given the mixed signals still coming from economy. Despite the recent positive news, it seems the Bank of England is still fearing deflation and a Japanese style double dip recession. Their recent message pulled no punches saying this is one of the worst recessions ...

Problems of Economic Downturn
2009-08-02 10:49:00 Readers Question: Have we addressed the core reasons for this economic downturn?The core reasons for this economic downturn:Credit Crunch - bank losses and consequent decline in bank lendingFalling House prices Falling consumer spending due to confidence and declining asset valuesCredit Crunch. The main reason for the severity of this current economic downturn was the funds lost by banks in various subprime lending schemes. The huge losses by major banks led to a restriction of credit harming ordinary economic activity.To some extent this has been addressed through painful and expensive government bailouts. For example, in the UK, the government have increased public sector debt by £141bn due to financial sector bailouts.These bailouts helped to calm the panic that was threatening the markets. But, normal lending conditions have still not returned. There is also concern that banks may have more losses to write off - especially as house prices continue to fall and the recession lea...

General Electric (GE): A proxy on economic growth
2009-06-08 06:00:00 "Over the past year, General Electric (NYSE: GE) has taken its lumps; however, I now suggest it may be opportune to reconsider one of America's great industrial companies once more," says Glenn Rogers.The contributing editor to Gordon Pape's Internet Wealth Builder suggests, "General Electric is indeed a proxy for the U.S. economy. So if you believe the worst is behind us that should also be true of GE.""General Electric is, to my mind, a great Obama infrastructures play given that it has extensive businesses in energy infrastructure and technology infrastructure. The company is also active in nuclear energy, wind and solar energy, water treatment, smart grid technology, etc. "Another pet Obama initiative is the modernization of the American health care system. GE has extensive assets in the health care industry and will certainly benefit from this initiative. "The company has also applied for TARP funds to help finance a major in...

What is an Economic Recession
2009-05-11 02:58:00 What is an economic recession? This occurs when there is a significant decline in the economy which usually lasts for months. This is visible in terms of consumer spending, employment, industrial production, real income and wholesale trade. A technical indicator of this is 2 consecutive quarters of negative growth which is measured by the country?s GDP or gross domestic product. Experts say that an economic recession is normal because it is part of the business cycle and things usually improve within 16 to 18 months. During the business cycle, there is a period of recovery, expansion, slowdown and then recession. During recovery, the GDP of a country starts to move up. When the GDP grows robustly, this is the time that it expands. When consumers are not buying that much, this is when you have a slowdown. Because there is weaker demand, you have a recession. The last economic recession occurred in 2000 and 2001 which featured three quarters of negative growth followed by three positi...

ECONOMIC SABOTAGE
2009-04-14 03:58:00 By John ZerzanIt?s amazing that so many insurrectional anarchists allow themselves to be drawn into energy-draining, rhetorical debates with liberals who attempt to turn strategic issues into moralistic ones, i.e. their attempts to define property destruction and economic sabotage as ?violent?, and thus, control the rage of those who have clearly identified their oppressors and who are rising up against their rule. Reverence for property is loyalty to capitalism and to the values of the system that some of us are serious about destroying, not reforming. We know that our enemy worships property, and that the source of their power - in the world that they?ve created - is their stolen property and wealth and we have no reverence whatsoever for anything the system uses to oppress us. If we?re attempting a genuine jailbreak out of the prison of this society, if we?re ready to make a move on our oppressors while there is still time, then we have to strike blows against them that hurt, and...
Obama's Top Economic Adviser Is Greedy and Highly Compromised
2009-04-11 21:04:00 By Matt TaibbiApril 10, 2009"But Summers, a leading architect of the administration's economic policies and response to the global recession, appears to have collected the most income. Financial institutions including JP Morgan, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch paid Summers for speaking appearances in 2008. Fees ranged from $45,000 for a Nov. 12 Merrill Lynch appearance to $135,000 for an April 16 visit to Goldman Sachs, according to his disclosure form." -- Washingtonpost.comSo I guess that $45,000 speaking fee from Merrill Lynch wasn't technically a bribe because Summers wasn't named to Obama's economic transition team until Nov. 24 ?a full 12 days later. I'm sure Larry Summers had absolutely no inkling whatsoever that he was going to be one of the key advisers to the new administration on Nov. 12.It likewise makes perfect sense that Merrill Lynch, a company just months removed from having to be rescued from bankruptcy by an 11th-hour, pseudo-state-...

FileFront caves in under the economic downfall
2009-03-27 00:27:00 FileFront is the first internet-based company I know to have gone under due to the current economic situation. As announced on March 25th this year, FileFront site operations will be indefinitely suspended on March 30th, 2009. They are urging people to use this time period – a mere 5 days – to download any files that have been uploaded as they will not be available after the date specified. Launched in December 2001, FileFront was a popular destination for gamers looking for patches, mods, demos, videos and other game-related content. They also took the initiative and hosted a wide range of other software, including drivers, internet software and audio-video. However, the site's future became uncertain when UGO acquired 1Up from Ziff-Davis; FileFront was not part of the sale and while Ziff said it would continue to operate FileFront as part of the PC Magazine digital network, the company's struggles cast doubt on how long it could afford to keep things going.

Claiming Straight Edge is an Wise Economic Choice
2009-03-16 18:25:00 In these extremely tough economic times, it's hard to find money, a job or even a little help sometimes. And it seems that with less money to go around people are actually spending more money on the things they don't actually need. Americans are spending more money on cigarettes and alcohol than before and the numbers are rising. As a nation we are driven to vices that we think will make us feel better rather than logically trying to find ways to actually make our lives better. Basic math will tell anyone that giving up smoking and drinking will put so much more money into your savings that you won't need to live paycheck to paycheck, which is all to common these days. Even looking at really old data on spending for cigarettes it's so obvious that you can retire on the money you'd save in 30 years.In the end, not only would you be saving money, but you'd be saving your self from all the harmful effects if you claimed Edge.

The first quarter of 2009 has been a continuation of the declines the area saw through most of 2008. Jobless rates are the highest they have been in the history of the state, and foreclosure rates continue to climb.Bankruptcy attorneys and financial experts expect that bankruptcy rates will continue to climb until the economy turns around.Atlanta bankruptcy attorney Matt Berry says that many people may not understand bankruptcy or are not fully aware of the protections that it provides them.?If you are facing heavy financial burdens, the first thing you should do is talk with a bankruptcy lawyer,?

PEO is Only a Piece of the Economic Puzzle
2009-03-04 23:29:00 There is no stopping the wheels of fortune, whether you’re the little guy or the big corporation. When the financial markets are on a downturn and the economy takes a nosedive, it’s time to look at cutting corners and finding ways to save money any way possible. However, what is a business to do when employees are screaming for pay increases to handle inflation, customers are spending less and expecting the same, if not better quality, and finding banks to lend money for day-to-day functions is almost impossible? There are many possible solutions to the economic problem, but short of reforming the government, only a few can be handled within the company. From restructuring to accommodate urbanization trends, to utilizing a payroll outsourcing company, there are still a fair number of things to be done to assist in finding the spare funds hidden within a company, but there is no magical one-size fits all cure. Nearly every company in financial need will be required to utilize mul...
