4. First-time buyers total 41% of all residential sales in 2008 June 11, 2009 The current economic climate can be a good time to buy as long as you know what you are getting into. According to the Wall Street Journal, first time home buyers made up 41% of the housing market by the end of 2008. First-time buyers are enticed by the reduced home prices: prices are down anywhere from 25 to 40 percent depending on the market you are in. For some, the drop in price, thanks to the economic downturn, is the only way a first-time home buyer has the purchasing power to land the house they want. Add that to the tax credit being offered to first-time home buyers and 2009 is about a... (read more) Author: Keegan Reilly

After a three-day conference, the group came away from the conference with four scenarios that might best describe the most likely outcomes of the present economic downturn. These four scenarios range from an immediate and explosive rebound to a total collapse resulting in a full-blown depression. In the case of the immediate recovery, the economy would be well on its way to pre-recessionary levels of productivity and employ... (read more) Author: Jonathon Volat

6. Discover The Internet May 27, 2009 Here is an interesting tidbit that was recently reported by the Wall Street Journal. The Internet uses a system of identifying every computer that connects to it. Each Internet access point is labeled with an Internet Protocol (IP) address that is a unique combination of four sets of numbers from 0 to 255. This scheme yields 4.3 billion possible combinations meaning that it contains 4.3 billion Internet addresses. The problem is that we’re running out. Experts predict that by the year 2012, there’ll be no more Internet addresses available under the current scheme. This means that a new scheme ... (read more) Author: Jodi Carwan

7. Foreclosures Resume May 19, 2009 Articles posted in both the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post confirmed that, despite government efforts to keep people in their homes, banks have resumed their ramp up in foreclosures.

There are numerous stories all over the internet, in your local paper, in the news magazines and on the television news telling us that the age of affluence is over. This week my Time Magazine arrived in the mail with the cover page headline, “The New Frugality.” Peggy Noonan, a respected journalist wrote this headline in the Wall Street Journal, “Goodbye Bland Affluence” USA Today ran an article about a family giving up on pursuing a life of abundance and instead opting for something they describe as “a simple self-sufficient lifestyle.” Th...

11. IBM Acquisition of Sun Microsystems - Trading JAVA March 25, 2009 With the doubling of the JAVA stock price on March 18, 2009 based on a Wall Street Journal report that IBM is bidding to buy Sun Microsystems, and with the StockTradersPlace sell action commentary on March 21, one open question is "Should the stock be shorted?". Here is where other factors have to be considered beyond technical analysis. With speculation that other companies such as Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) and Cisco Systems (CSCO), among others, may want to buy Sun Microsystems, a bidding war can emerge. For this reason, it is probably risky to short the stock at this point, although selling the... (read more) Author: David S.Y. Wong

13. Alenver's Underwear Messages Have Something New to Say February 27, 2009 In any market, designers and manufacturers need to stay current with their appeal, in order to stay competitive.

14. Online Underwear Sales are on the Brighter Side of Retail February 27, 2009 It comes as no surprise to know that the retail industry has been adversely affected by the housing crisis and subsequent rising unemployment rates.

The Wall Street Journal has quantified this in a report for the period of November 1st to December 24th 2008 stating that sales were down in men’s apparel 14%, women’s apparel 24%, and luxury items 35%. It is clear that buyers have very little excess cash for expensive clothes, or even reasonably priced extra clothes. Ken Perkins, president of research company Re... (read more) Author: Mel Joelle

16. protects against the baseless claims made by SCO! February 16, 2009 Now that the tide has turned, and SCO is facing the dissolution of its legal position, claiming to “enforce its intellectual property rights” while actually massively infringing the rights of others, the company and its lawyers have jettisoned even the appearance of legal responsibility. Last week's Wall Street Journal carried statements by Mark Heike, outside counsel for SCO, challenging the “legality” of the Free Software Foundation's GNU General Public License (GPL). The GPL both protects against the baseless claims made by SCO for license fees to be paid by users of free software, and also... (read more) Author: markin bent

20. 2009 Outlook January 06, 2009 Earlier this week, David Gaffen of the Wall Street Journal asked me for my 2009 S&P 500 (SPX) target. Under normal circumstances, I would have given him a number and my rationale for the target. However, these are not normal circumstances. The biggest problem is that nobody knows what the second-half of the year is going to look like. A lot of people are guessing. (You can see what other strategists said on the Journal's MarketBeat blog.) The problem is that everyone is making guesses that could very well turn out to be really wrong. The consensus earnings estimate currently sta... (read more) Author: Charles Rotblut

21. Elevator Shoes - The safest and easiest way to gain height December 15, 2008 Tall people are perceived to be more handsome and earn the attention of good looking women more than their shorter counterparts.

In the early seventies platform shoes provided the additional few inches but unfortunately platforms went out of... (read more) Author: Swati Guha

22. Marketing Opportunities - International Events November 26, 2008 In an article I read in the Wall Street Journal last week, I realized how important international events are for companies for branding and marketing purposes. Mars has been attempting to increase the advertisement efforts of their candies in China for years. The deal went through when they declared Snickers to be the Beijing Olympic Game’s official chocolate in Summer 2008. They also targeted a specific consumer target, which helped them produce different strategies and gain insights into consumer feelings. The company, Mars, took the opportunity of the Beijing Olympic Games to promote ... (read more) Author: Chris Carter
