The Asian high
In a world where consumer spending is king, you wouldn’t think that there’s such a dependency on a global scale as far as American upon Asia. But there is. And this reaches much farther than just cheap manufacturing.
Oh yes, if you take into account that approximately forty percent [...]
Japanese investing in US troubled economics
I was listening to a report on NPR earlier this week and I found that it had a very important concept behind it. Currently, the United States Treasury Secretary and Federal Reserve chairman are trying to push through Congress a $700 billion bailout plan that makes absolutely no financial sense. [...]
Asian markets doubts over US bailout plans
The Asian markets just keep shifting around, antsy on what’s about to happen in the United States while we’re still contemplating “why” the $700 billion USD bailout plan is a good idea.

I believe that the last few weeks have been pretty outrageous in the business world, especially with the talks about bailing out Bear Stearns (BSC: 5.76 0.00%). Big businesses shouldn’t get the safety net of federal intervention. You took a gamble, and you lost. That’s just tough in the world [...]
Financial institutions will rebound
I’m no expert in the financial world, but there seems to be a raging whirlwind that is just sucking everything in sight and leaving devastation in its path. Yes, I’m speaking of the subprime loan disaster. Yet, with all of the loan companies and banks taking major hits, it’s a [...]
