Turnaround expert eyes Global Crossing (GLBC)
2009-09-18 06:00:00 "Global Crossing (NASDAQ: GLBC) was started in 1997 to build a worldwide fiber optic cable network, with the strategy, 'if you build it, they will come'," says George Putnam, adding, "But as the telecom bubble burst around 2000, nobody came."Now, in his always-excellent The Turnaround Letter, he suggests, "We think the current stock price gives you the opportunity to buy into a very valuable network at a tiny fraction of its original cost.""The new stock went as high as 36 shortly after it began trading after its bankruptcy. When it later dropped in price, several high-profile investors accumulated sizable positions."However, there was still considerable overcapacity in worldwide networks, and results continued to lag expectations. The stock hit a low of 5 earlier this year before beginning to recover."The network is still built – it connects 690 cities in 60 countries around the world – and it appears that t...

Global expert eyes China real estate
2009-07-29 14:00:00 "Claymore/AlphaShares China Real Estate ETF (NYSE: TAO) combines two prominent investment themes in one" says international specialist Nick Vardy in Global Bull Market Alert."Here's why I think this ETF is set to soar over the next few months. First, the fundamental case for real estate in China is compelling. Over the next five years, 1.5 billion square feet of space will be built in China."China is also booming, and is leading the global economy out of recession and looks set to hit its full-year growth target of 8%. Real estate investment already makes up 10.2% of China’s GDP. And that proportion is rapidly growing."Second, the Chinese stock market has been one of the top-performing markets of the world this year, holding up well even through the recent correction. But the real estate sector has been an even more impressive outperformer. "The Shanghai property sub-index has jumped about 160% this year, beating a 75% surge in ...

2010 Ford Global Product Plan

New engines, truly global products (aka European product is the way forward, except American trucks and the antiquated muscle car), and a global strategy will ensure that Ford reaches the pinnacle and stays there. However, while Ford calls the following press release "global", it's clearly American-centric. There's a lot happening in Europe and the far east, and very little has been said about that. But, then, those regions haven't had to mortgage their factories and corporate headquarters.

Global Currency Proposed By Russia
2009-07-11 06:53:00 Writing in the World Order of Baha’u'llah, Shoghi Effendi envisioned the future: A mechanism of world inter-communication will be devised, embracing the whole planet, freed from national hindrances and restrictions, and functioning with marvellous swiftness and perfect regularity. A world metropolis will act as the nerve centre of a world civilization, the focus towards which the unifying forces of life will converge and from which its energizing influences will radiate. A world language will either be invented or chosen from among the existing languages and will be taught in the schools of all the federated nations as an auxiliary language to their mother tongue. A world script, a world literature, a uniform and universal system of currency, of weights and measures, will simplify and facilitate intercourse and understanding among the nations and races of mankind. Keeping in mind that the above was written in 1938, you can’t help but be awed by his prophetic vision. We ...

8.5% Decline In Global Advertising, But Online Advertising Grows By 10.1% -
2009-07-08 08:18:00 ZenithOptimedia, a unit of French advertising group Publicis slashed its 2009 global advertising growth projections yet again. They now predict the global advertising market to decline 8.5% this year as compared to its previous prediction of a 6.9% decline. The forecast has revealed declines as high as 18.5% in magazine advertising, 13.8% in outdoor and 8.1% in radio in 2009. The report referred to factors such as unemployment as driving uncertainty around ad expenditure and creating a short-term trading environment with large volumes of activity being booked just two to four weeks in advance. How badly are the sectors hit? In the recession-struck first half of the year companies continue to cut advertising spending. The sharpest cuts were observed in finance, automobile and business travel. Whereas ZenithOptimedia’s ad report also stated that China’s ad growth should still grow 5.4% this year, and India’s 7.7%. Hence the worsening economic activity will strongly ...

Bob Woodruff, Global Warming, Propaganda, and Frogs
2009-06-04 17:47:00 Bob Woodruff is hosting a television show on ABC called “Earth 2100.” Environmentalists hope dire predictions and a healthy dose of drama spur corrective action. Maybe more people will reduce, reuse, and recycle. Neocons who don’t *believe* in global warming are alarmed and complain that ABC is really just trying to scare the shit out of people. And plug for Obama. Right. The horror. I don’t give a shit if you believe in global warming or not. The bottom line is this - didn’t you learn as a kid to clean up after yourself? Well, human beings have a miserable track record cleaning up after themselves. Whether such messiness leads to our destruction remains a point of contention and debate, but the facts are clear: corporations and people should do more to clean up the planet. So many conservatives are religious and it’s heartening to see young evangelicals use the argument I’ve been using for years - if you believe Earth is a gift from God, w...
