2:12a GMT - Mixed signals on the USD/JPY pair. Pair charged upward through resistance at 104.00 only to meet tougher resistance at 104.40 (the 68.2% Fibonacci retracement of the 105.4-102.7 drop). Pair bounced hard off that only to return to 104 and bounce off that as well. Two possible trend resistance lines were broken in [...]

The government must make a decision on fuel price hike as early as June 2008 in reaction to the surging global oil prices, an economist said."Whether we like it or not there must be a government decision on fuel price hike next June or the government has the guts to ensure that oil subsidy will remain low," Aviliani of the Indef economic research institute said in a joint press conference with Director General of Oil and Gas Lulu Sumiarso at the Information and Communications Ministry here on Friday.Although the decision was not popular, it would have a positive impact on the sustainable growth of the Indonesian economy, he said.If fuel prices were not raised, fuel subsidy would put a heavy burden on the government and would in turn impede the growth of the development sector, he said.

The State Enterprises (BUMN) Watch asked the government on Sunday to drop its plan to sell state-owned steel company PT Krakatau Steel to the world`s biggest steel company Arcellor Mittal under a strategic sales scheme. If the government was to privatize PT Krakatau, it should opt to an initial public offering (IPO) to prevent foreign control of the company`s shares and avoid internal conflicts in the company, BUMN Watch Chief Naldy Nazar Haroen said. Naldy said foreign control of strategic state enterprises` shares would not only harm the interests of the state and nation but also cause conflicts within the state companies in question. "The track record of Lakshmi Mittal (owner of Arcellor Mittal) in Surabaya is not quite good. During 30 years of its presence in Surabaya, it made no
People need to be completely honest when looking to borrow money, it has been suggested. According to Equifax, those wishing to apply for a loan or some other kind of credit should always be truthful with money lenders. Pointing to research carried out by UK fraud prevention service CIFAS, the credit reference company revealed that an increasing number of Britons are telling lies on borrowing paperwork. At present, it was claimed that just under two-thirds (64 per cent) of fraudulent activity in the country involves an applicant's attempt to hide their previous difficulties with credit. However, it was asserted that those who lie on their forms in an attempt to secure a cheap loan are likely to be found out by financial services firms and could have their application rejected.

The Indonesian government should always pro actively protect the dignity of the Indonesian nation and its citizens in the eyes of the international community and not tolerate acts of harassment such as Singaporean authorities committed against two Indonesians at Changi airport on Thursday, an academic said.

Bleak economic reports signal recession by Reuters - snip:A series of bleak economic reports on Friday showed the mood of American consumers deteriorating in February to a point that has always signaled recession, while factory activity in New York state suffered its biggest drop on record. Compounding worries about a downturn, data suggested bubbling price pressures, raising the possibility of a troublesome scenario of simultaneously slowing growth and rising inflation -- "stagflation." "This is just horrible. The sustained volatility in the markets, the rise in energy and food prices and, of course, the catastrophe in the housing market is making consumers extraordinarily miserable," said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics in Valhalla, New York...Big deals

Alex Rodriguez may be the object of scorn and generally disliked amongst baseball fans right, but he's sure not a dummy. In fact, a special friend might have saved face for him.According to the AP, Warren Buffett advised Alex Rodriguez to approach the New York Yankees and go around agent Scott Boras, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday."A-Rod really loves being a Yankee," Buffett was quoted as saying. He wouldn't comment on the substance of any discussions with the player.The two became friends several years ago.Rodriguez, on Boras' advise, opted out of the final three seasons of his record $252 million, 10-year contract on Oct. 28. The Yankees had said many times that if he opted out, they wouldn't negotiate because they would lose $21.3 million from Texas for the final three seasons that was agreed to at the time of the 2004 trade, money to offset the $72 million New York owed from 2008-10.Upset with developments after he opted out, Rodriguez contacted Buffett, and the inve
The Federal Reserve projects interest rates will rise to 4.35 percent in 2006 By Julia F. Heming, Daily Staff Reporter on 4/6/05For many graduating seniors, the coming freedom of graduation will not only bring the stress of acclimating to a new setting, but also the worry of paying back student loans. But with the significantly low interest rates, these students could save money by consolidating their loans now. With tuition ranging from $8,202 to $13,730 for in-state students and $26,028 to $27,456 for out-of-state students, many students turn to loans to fund their education. In the last academic year, 14,200 students received some type of federal loan. These loans, which require repayment after graduation, are a common source of stress for recent graduates. The average

Yields should be the key concern of anybody looking to get into residential buy-to-let investment in the UK, according to one industry operator.
Speaking to the Mail on Sunday this weekend, Peter Grant of Grant Management said his first question when considering the purchase of a property would be to ask himself what sort of yields he could reasonably expect to see.
Yield “is the number one driver” he explained, adding that he would have to expect “a minimum of six per cent” before committing to the purchase of a property. For this reason, he advises potential investors to steer clear of the beaten track. (Read the full post about ‘Look to yields, investors advised By Jim Barnaby’…)
Although last week saw the Bank of England maintain the base rate of interest for the third consecutive month, those looking to apply for a personal loan should still do so with care, it has been suggested.
When you have three small children, being an introvert is a bit of a problem. Also, living in community can be a bit of a problem, and this doesn’t mean that you don’t love living with people, it only means that it is hard to get your batteries recharged. Solitude is almost extinct for you. This is why you asked for a writing retreat for your birthday, and are now using your coupons, almost five months later.
It is the first day of your retreat, and you made sure to leave early in the morning, as early as you could, considering that you are notoriously bad at leaving early. It is the type of slow morning you prefer that does this to you. But you pulled yourself away from your youngest who was giving you the biggest smiles he could possibly muster, and your middle who was sad on the couch with her blankie, and your oldest, clinging to you like a monkey. You pulled yourself away and an hour later you were kicking yourself for not bringing the camera.

Doctors have been advised to prescribe oily fish or omega-3 fatty acid supplements to patients who have had heart attacks. The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) believes that if doctors do so, and then if patients follow their advice, then they will be at a lower risk of suffering further heart attacks. The guidance is the first time that NICE had advised patients to change their lifestyle, along with taking prescribed drugs, in order to avoid repeat heart attacks. The news has been welcomed by patient representatives which have said that the measures could have a big impact.The new guidelines replace the ones set out six years and now advise patients to to give up smoking, be physically active for 20-30 minutes a day, and eat a Mediterranean-style diet. Professor Gene Feder, Chair of the Guideline Development Group, said that while drugs could make an enormous difference to patients who have had a heart attack, there is now also compelling evidence that life

You should always check with the Council for Higher Education Accreditation to see if their program is accredited.Most of "diploma mills" are focus on fast production and distribution of fake degrees. They just offer credit for life experience and if you pay your fees you get your diploma. You don't ha
If you did not get a chance to review the article on long term care insurance I referenced from the Forbes magazine web site I’ve decided to cover it in more detail here. If I get a chance I may do some more research in other business magazines like Business Week and Smartmoney to see what they have to say about this type of protective planning.
Long term health care (LTC) insurance ensures that you will have money for care, thereby protecting your assets from being consumed by your health care needs. An LTC policy gives you the type of retirement plan that assures you of an income as long as you need it. Financial advisers nationwide will tell you that health care costs are the top threat to your retirement security. As I write this blog I ask myself as does Forbes writers, “why don’t more Americans buy LTC coverage”? Even moreso, why don’t more financial advisers (who understand the planning benefits), sell these LTC policies?
There are many reasons it s
"Am I forgetting anything? What do I need to know?"These are two common questions that homebuyers ask, even those that have plenty of experience in real estate. And since I've always stressed that real estate is local, there's a great resource available to you if you're in the market to buy a home in Portland.The Oregon Real Estate Agency created The Oregon Buyer Advisory. It's a publication designed to help buyers better understand the scope of their relationship with real estate agents.It's also a source for information on environmental hazards, title insurance, underground oil storage tanks, etc. This is also helpful if you're relocating to Portland because it may include issues that are relevant to buying real estate in Portland that don't exist where you live today.Here is a link to the Oregon Buyer Advisory.
Diced Yellow Onion WarningConsumers, particularly persons with weakened immune systems and pregnant women, should not eat certain brands of diced yellow onions.The products could be contaminated with dangerous bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes, and may cause serious health problems, State Public Health Officer Dr. Mark Horton warned today.Gills Onions of Oxnard is voluntarily recalling 45,500 pounds of diced yellow onions which were distributed to retail and food service locations in Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington. No illnesses have been reported in association with these products. The retail product was packed with the Trader Joe's brand name, and sold at Trader Joe's stores in 10-ounce, re-sealable flexible plastic pouches. Consumers should look for the lot code 2017-R 22 1956D and a “Best if Used by 6/16/07” date on the back side of the pouch. Foodservice operators and distributors should look for cartons containing four, 5-lb. bags labeled
Almost two months ago, when it was told that Tony Bedard was going to be the writer for Supergirl, that alone did seem like great news, didn't it? But what wasn't clear to me at the time was just how many he'd be writing. I did a search and found that Bedard went onto CBR's board and said it'd be three issues. And to make matters worse, I noticed that issue #20 and issue #21 were connected to two crossovers, Amazons Attack and Countdown. Then I started to frown.I know that some out there were surely excited by the news, but if this is how it's going to be, then that's why I suspect now that this may be a very cleverly orchestrated trick: buy an acclaimed writer's work but at the price of its being part of a crossover!Well that's why now I'm starting to feel dismayed, and if I were you, Superfans, I'd suggest holding back from buying those issues due to their crossover status, certainly because one of them is part of an awful x-over like Amazons Attack. I think I can see what
Oil Offshore Marine would like to officially note once again that any email sent to you and offering you a job, email claiming to be from Shell, more precisely from Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) or from Shell Gas Limited Italy (SGLI), is NOT coming from Shell at all. It’s a JOB SCAM.
Don’t be fooled by the fancy words the job scammers use in the “job offers”, don’t be fooled by the high salary they “offer”. Read ALL the information on Oil Offshore Marine - Beware the Job Scams and you will be wiser and, most importantly, you will NOT be a job scam victim.
International mutual funds should be a part of every investor’s portfolio. I’ve beaten this drum before (see A Euro, A Yen, a Buck or a Pound and The CIA Guide to International Investing). But when the cover of BusinessWeek asks: What’s the Most Extreme Emerging Market on Earth? (remember the Sports Illustrated curse) I begin to get a little nervous. Let’s stick with China for a minute. The Hang Seng (Hong Kong stock market) is up 30% in the past year. This is against a current back drop of Chinese government concerns about their stock markets becoming too speculative, widening the trading range of the Yuan, and possible U.S. trade limitations.
International markets will go down at some point in time and I take the above as warning signs that a correction might occur sooner rather then later. Does this mean you should sell your international mutual funds or not buy, if you don’t yet own any?&nb
