Indonesia's inflation rate in 2009 could be below the minimal projection of 6.5 percent as the people's consumption and international commodity prices would drop next year, reported the national news agency ANTARA on Wednesday.The news agency quoted an economic researcher of Bank Indonesia (BI) Rudy B.

The export sector is developing quite well. The moment will come where the exchange rate level will start to cause serious harm.The euro fell for a second day against the dollar on speculation an industry report today will show German business confidence declined in April, indicating the currency's strength is hurting Europe's biggest economy. Last week the euro zone’s top official said that the strength of the currency had not yet hit the pain threshold for exporters. Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker did not see the strong euro hurting the European economy “for the time being”. The euro at the time reached a record high of $1.5912 this week’s high reached $1.6019, making German cars and French wines more expensive in the U.S. The high exchange rate eased euro-zone inf
Online classifieds and vertical ads in the United States will make up nearly a quarter of all Internet advertising in four years, predicts the Kelsey Group.

Meanwhile, revenues for interactive classifieds and verticals -- called "marketplaces" by Peter Krasilovsky, Kelsey Group's program director of marketplaces, will reach $14.7 billion by 2012, according to the firm. "Verticals have typically been dominated by the big three of auto, real estate and [employment] recruitment," said Krasilovsky.

With just 24 hours to go before the crucial primary in Pennsylvania, new polls out today are predicting a nail biting finish to the ballot between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.Many Democratic insiders are suggesting that anything short of a convincing win by Hillary Clinton will see greater pressure applied to her to withdraw from the race.So while Clinton's lead at the moment is a winning one, it is likley not to be enough to resist the growing pressure. All the recent data suggests that Clinton is highly unlikely to overtake Obama on the popular vote and the pledged delegates. And the Superdelegate votes are moving increasingly to Obama.In the latest Zogby tracking poll, Clinton has gained 2 points over the weekend, putting her in the lead 48% to 42%, with a margin of error of 4%.Str

Football definitely is a funny old game, but I'm glad to see that the usual top four Premier league teams aren't going to win the competition this year. It looks as though the FA Cup is going back to the good old days when I was a little whippersnapper, as there seemed to be more magic in the FA Cup.
Barnsley fully deserved to beat Chelsea; they had more fight and were first to the ball on every occasion. Likewise Cardiff showed that they wanted to win a lot more than Middlesbrough. Whereas West Brom were just too hot to handle, but Bristol Rovers should be proud of their achievements.
Portsmouth definitely had lady luck on their side as they beat Manchester United. How on earth did Carrick not score, only he will be able to answer that?

This is scary stuff. As reported by the BBC, the latest computer models produced by scientists in the United States indicate that the entire Arctic Ice shelf will be completely melted in the summer months by 2013, just 5 1/2 years from today.Unfortunately, the data entered into the computer only included measurements from 1979 through 2004, meaning that the computers did not take into account the record ice melts of 2005, 2006, and 2007. To give some perspective, according to The Weather Makers by Australian scientist Tim Flannery,For three decades the ice had been melting away at the rate of 8 percent per decade, but during the summer of 2005 the melt rate accelerated sharply, and the Arctic ice cap shrunk by an astounding 115,000 square miles, an area the size of Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey combined. Many researchers had hoped that this was the result of a year of freakish weather. But as the figures for 2006 came in , it became clear that the losses would riv

Yesterday, Soccer Source predicted trouble for Shakhtar Donetsk and Liverpool, a potential struggle for Real Madrid and smooth sailing for Chelsea. Okay, I also thought Valencia would win their game. And actually, I didn't predict smooth sailing for Chelsea either, but I did say they wouldn't have the cakewalk Arsenal had. Then again, the U.S. men's basketball team at the '92 Olympics didn't quite have that kind of cakewalk. Go here to see the all of the games' goals (thanks to footytube for the links).The biggest surprise on the day in my opinion was Rosenborg which moved into second place in their group thanks to the victory. (And maybe into the top 25 as well? We'll have to wait and see for that). Chelsea are now as good as through. Schalke, whom they beat 2-0 at Stamford Bridge do not look to be as good as they have been in recent years. The Germans are still alive though, trailing Rosenborg by only one point. Real Madrid are also in good shape after a terrific game against
Financial unstability highlighted By The Bank of Finland in 2005 "The rate of growth in lending has for a number of years already been clearly faster than the growth in deposits, leading banks to increasingly resort to market-based funding. Although well-integrated money and capital markets are capable of offering banks a functioning source of financing, changes in the funding structure set ever greater challenges to banks’ liquidity management."Good job from the Bank of Finland. They clearly outlined the scenario that was set to happen few years after in August 2007. That reminds me of Nothern Rock issues... Not relying to fund their loan on the customer deposit but instead on integrated market. The August crisis in the Sub prime in the US led to a worl wide tightening of credit, the market-based funding went to a complete freeze for smaller bank
Where do the experts expect the best dating site to be going for future trends? Will one of the best dating site be a way that the next generation looks exclusively for dates or will online dating be just another fad that is talked about in the future? Let's explore what those in the know think will be happening in just a few decades time. Money talks when it comes to the best dating site It is said that those who live in the United States spent more than 450 million dollars on the best dating site and personals in the year 2004, and more than 500 million dollars in the following year, 2005. This is thought to be the second largest "paid content" on the internet according to some studies that were performed. It is said that studies are showing that in 2007 the Baby Boomer's interest in the best dating site really took off. It is said that by November of 2004 there were at least 840 dating and lifestyle sites which is a 38% increase since the beginning of 2004. That is quite a leap.
A real estate firm has predicted that the price of rents in Qatar will increase. Reg Barichievy, general manager of a real estate firm in Qatar, believes that there will two years of rent rises before there is any fall. Qatar Journal mentions that many Qatar Living readers are sceptical.These things are notoriously difficult to predict, and I am certainly not brave enough to guess what's going to happen. It is interesting, though, that a recent article reported that some landlords were holding on to empty apartments rather than accepting lower rents, which suggests rents are already too high.Huge building has been continuing in Doha suggesting that the supply of property is going to increase. Silmutaneously, there seems a distinct possibility of a global slow-down with the sub-prime morgage crisis in America and a shortage of credit around the world. Perhaps Reg believes that the huge predicted growth in Qatar's gas output will innure Qatar to these factors. If he has right, we could
iPhones are the latest technology, and created more hype on release than perhaps the last Harry Potter book did (and unless you live under a rock you were probably besieged by throngs of Harry Potter fans dressed in Hogwarts gear rushing to their local bookstores) which means they’re really big. They’re also kind of evil. The purchase of an iPhone locks the purchaser into all kinds of phone and Internet plans, and has even been rumored to steal a soul or two here and there.
Luckily there are those among us who weren’t afraid to do battle with the evil that Apple has unleashed upon the world, and after purchasing their iPhones, promptly destroyed them for the fun and enjoyment of all concerned. Sure, this was twenty seconds of fun with a $500 price tag, but the human soul is always up for sadistic pleasures, and what could possibly be more fun than destroying something that so many millions crave to have?

F5 Networks (FFIV) is an incredible company. The company develops networking solutions that help customers manage traffic on their internet networks and applications. Its solutions improve the performance, availability, and security of internet applications.The last time FFIV reported earnings (April 25th), the stock jumped $13 (19.5%) on spectacular results. The stock rose almost 15% back on Oct 25th of last year when the company reported earnings. In the last 52 weeks, the stock is up 100% and the 3 year performance shows a gain of 270%.The reason for these monster gains is the company's tendency to keep growing earnings at around 40%. With no debt, and over $10 in cash, the stock trades at 30 times 2008 earnings - a reasonably cheap valuation. As we enter the best time for tech stocks, F5 is well positioned to move close to $100. The company reports earnings on July 25th and I believe that it should be bought at any dip prior to that event.-- Faisal LaljeeFull Disclosure: I own FFI

Virgin Media was again featured on the January 23, 2007 show when Cramer speculated that it could be a takeover target.

Back on February 7th, in my post labeled Markets Marking Time, I said:Every month that the market moves forward gives me more reason to be less bullish.

When I wrote about the Merck (MRK) deal to acquire Sirna Therapeutics (RNAI) on 10/31 and predicted more biotech deals were coming, I didn't realize it would only take a week and a half. Last night, Genentech (DNA) announced plans to acquire Tanox (TNOX) for $20 per share in a deal worth more than $900 million. The all-cash tranasaction is expected to close by the end of the first quarter.
Tanox is not a company that has gotten much attention on Wall Street, in terms of product potential or as a possible buyout candidate. Like I said in my last piece, it is very tough to know which of these small and mid cap biotechs will get bids. It appears there are some royalty synergies with this deal, which explains in part why DNA targeted them.
On another note, shares of Genentech have been flatlined for a while now and are beginning to not look as overvalued as they have in the past. While a 30 forward P/E would rarely be considered extremely cheap, further
15 years ago, a group of students under a teacher named Tim Walz had predicted the Rwanda's genocide. Tim taught at Alliance High School in Neb. Tim assigned a project to his students, and the assignment was to figure out why people of the world committed the genocides. Tim also asked the students to choose a country from the list of countries that would most likely be committing a genocide. The students picked Rwanda, and a year later the prediction came true.
Rwanda was a genocide, and the people who were behind the killing of the Rwanda's president might have the same idea as the students in Tim's classroom. They knew how to stir up the pot in Rwanda by killing off the president, and this allowed the Hutus committed a genocide by killing 800,000 Tut
