June 25th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Opinions, Recommendations, Reviews

Network Marketing Business Provides True Equal Opportunity.

That’s the first value of a network marketing business.

As Robert Kiyosaki continues, he acknowledged that he was initially closed to the idea of starting a network marketing business, but on the pretext of being too busy with starting out his first worldwide business.

He also recognizes the pros and cons with network marketing, which is similar to any other business. There are always good and bad people around. The problem lies with network marketing companies having an open door policy.

He attempts to explain the reason for his recommendation and also cautions that network marketing is not suitable for everyone.

There is no doubt on the huge amount of attention networking marketing has received over the recent years, garnering both positive and negative response. While I am not in a network marketing business myself, I do find the reasons which he brought out ‘acceptable’.

Global Inflation Crisis Coverage II

June 10th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Current Issues, Insights, Opinions

Actually, it’s inevitable that oil price will head north. The picture is pretty clear some years ago.

Then, the emergence of china and other oil guzzling developing economies and USA’s energy inefficient oil addicted economy translated into higher demand for oil in the future(that’s now). Futhermore, then oil prospecting did not manage to succeed to discover significantly more oil field( there’s two scenario, either then the price of oil is not attractive enough for major oil firms to explore for more oil field or simply they fail to find enough of them). Hence supply presently cannot cope with the demand, as supply are unable to expand/increase sufficiently due to supply bottleneck. The industry is unable to increase capacity in the short term. This also applies to the refineries as there isn’t any significant spare capacity in this industry.
However, given these supply and demand problems oil prices should not climb rapidly in the short term as demand nor supply never changed abruptly. Instead, weak USD is the factor for the greater jump. You simply have to pay more for oil in USD since USD is weaker now, as the same amount of USD cannot buy as much oil as before.
