ROLLS-ROYCE RECORD YEAR
2012-01-09 15:47:00 Not sure about everyone else, but when we hear the phrase "global recession" we pretty much assume that all world markets are taking some kind of hit, no? Well, according to Rolls-Royce sales in 2011, such isn't necessarily the case for luxury car sales, in fact, the company reported its most successful year to date! The infamous makers of the Phantom sold a whopping 3,538 vehicles last year, 391 more vehicles than their last record year in 1978. It's also highly relevant to note that sales growth in worldwide markets had much to do with the feat. The company reports a 47-percent increase in the Asian Pacific region, 17 in North America, 23 in the Middle East, and a 30-percent growth at home in the UK. Astonishing. Further proof that while things may be globally awry, upper class spending's got more than a healthy pulse!

Syria, Iran, and the Balance of Power in the Middle East
2011-11-28 19:12:00 Let’s peel our eyes away from the eurozone disaster momentarily and take a look at another crisis – one with just as much potential to impact our global financial system. As we’ve discussed in Outside the Box before, Iran’s trump card is not its nuclear capability but rather its opportune location next to the very narrow, very important Strait of Hormuz … through which no less than 40% of the world’s seaborne oil passes. As the US leaves Iraq, Iran is ready and waiting to fill the void and extend its regional influence. So where’s the next turf war? A shaky Syria, where the Iranian-Saudi-US balance of power will continue to play out. If you haven’t been following the . . . → Read More: Syria, Iran, and the Balance of Power in the Middle East
