Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE from being PLASTIC...
WOW i am a huge health freak. and this is DISGUSTING!
BUTTER VERSES MARGARINE
DID YOU KNOW... The difference between margarine and butter?
Both have the same amount of calories Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams. Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter according to a recent Harvard Medical Study
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods Butter has many nutrional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added! Butter tastes much better then margarine and it can enhance the flavours of other foods. Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less then 100 years Now for Margarine... very high in Trans Fatty Acids Triple risk of Coronary Heart Disease Increases total and LDL ( this is the bad cholesterol) Lowers HDL cholesterol * and this is the good one Increases the risk of cancers by up to five fold. Lowers quality of breast milk. Decreases immune response. Decreases insulin response.
And here is the most disturbing fact....
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE from being PLASTIC...
( this fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated , this means hydrogen is added changing the molecular structure of the food )
YOU can try this yourself, purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area, within a couple of days you will note a couple of things, no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it,( that should tell you something) it does not rot, smell differently...Because it has no nutritional value, nothing will grow on it, even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow...Why? because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your tupperware and spread that on your toast?
Yuck!
Dollar stays near record euro low
Dollar bills
Analysts now expect a further cut in US rates
The US dollar hovered near record lows against the euro by close of trade in New York on Friday, as expectations over a US interest rate cut increased.
One euro was worth $1.4265 by mid-afternoon in the US, after the greenback sank just short of $1.4320.
Analysts said a rise in US unemployment adds to chances of an interest rate cut when The Federal Reserve meets in October, in a bid to boost the economy.
Against Japan's yen, the dollar stayed near three-week lows, at 114.77 yen.
Rejuvenate confidence
Commentators now say the Fed could well reduce rates from 4.75% to 4.5%.
The dollar has been sliding since the Federal Reserve cut rates from 5.25% to 4.75% in September to help rejuvenate confidence in the world's largest economy.
This followed a summer of turmoil in the world's credit markets, sparked by record loan defaults in the US sub-prime mortgage sector.
Since then, a raft of mostly disappointing economic news and soft inflation figures has prompted the anticipation of further rate cuts.
While lowering borrowing costs can jump start the economy, it can also have an adverse impact as investors seek to place money in economies where the returns are higher.
.<font color=red>Oil prices fall from record highs
Turkish troops near the Iraqi border
The Turkey-Kurdish situation is creating uncertainty
Oil prices ended lower close of trade in New York, after investors locked in earlier profits after crude oil hit record highs earlier.
But analysts say the downward trend is likely to be temporary, as the factors triggering recent highs remain, notably supply fears and the lower dollar.
US light sweet crude fell 87 cents to $88.60 after an earlier $90.07 record.
And London Brent crude settled 81 cents lower at $83.79, after reaching an all-time high of $84.88 on Thursday.
"The petroleum markets are seeing some short-term profit taking," said Citigroup analyst Tim Evans following Friday's falls.
But the overall trends in recent days has been upwards, with oil prices setting new records in the wake of geopolitical tensions which have triggered fears that supplies could be threatened.
Another factor behind the rise has been the dollar reaching a record low against the euro, and a three-week low against the yen, not helped by weak US jobs and manufacturing data on Thursday.
Dollar weakness, caused by fears over the strength of the US economy, has made oil a more attractive investment.
This has increased expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut US interest rates further from the current 4.75% later this month.
Turkish concern
The tension in eastern Turkey centres on possible military action by the Turkish army against Kurdish rebels operating from across the Iraqi border.
Earlier this week, the Turkish parliament approved a government plan to carry out excursions across the border, although imminent military action is not expected.
Oil producers' cartel Opec has hinted that it may boost output to help reduce prices.
Nigerian Oil Minister Odein Ajumogobia said Opec leaders could now meet as early as 17 November, three weeks ahead of their next planned meeting.
Oil prices have quadrupled since 2002 because of strong demand from fast-growing economies such as China and India, allied to instability in oil-producing nations in the Middle East and Africa.
Exports fuel China's CO2 output
Power plant in China
China is thought to be the highest emitter of CO2
A quarter of China's greenhouse gas emissions are produced making goods exported to the West, a report from a UK government-funded body has found.
Climate research body the Tyndall Centre, using 2004 data, estimates the emissions are double those of Britain for the same period.
It wants rich nations to take the lead in cutting the pollution they cause.
In the last year, UK imports from China rose by 10%, nearing 6.5 million tonnes, according to a recent study.
'Rethink needed'
The Tyndall Centre report concludes that in 2004 - the most recent year in which comprehensive data is available - net exports from China accounted for 23% of its total CO2 emissions.
The authors said the emission levels are due to China's trade surplus, but are also due to the relatively high level of carbon intensity within the Chinese economy.
The report said: "The extent of 'exported carbon' from China should lead to some rethinking by government negotiators as they work towards a new climate change agreement.
"It suggests that a focus on emissions within national borders may miss the point. Whilst the nation state is at the heart of most international negotiations and treaties, global trade means that a country's carbon footprint is international.
"Should countries be concerned with emissions within their borders (as is currently the case), or should they also be responsible for emissions due to the production of goods and services they consume?"
China is believed to be the world's largest emitter of carbon dioxide.
Firms seek online copyright pact
Computer screen
Internet content has increased significantly in recent years
Media and internet firms, including Viacom, Walt Disney, Microsoft and Myspace are setting guidelines to protect copyright material online.
The group plans to use technology to prevent content that breaks copyright rules being posted on the internet, as well as to stop pirated material.
Search engine Google, owner of video site YouTube, has not joined the project, but analysts predict it will.
Internet content, notably video, has boomed, including copyright material.
'Enormous potential'
But there has been growing tension between the sites that host content and the originators of the content when material is posted online by the public, without consent.
"These principles offer a road map for unlocking the enormous potential of online video and user-generated content," said Bob Iger, chief executive of Disney.
Other firms involved in the project include New Corp's Fox channel, CBS and General Electric's NBC Universal.
In response to the plan, analyst James McQuivey at Forrester Research said: "Google will be forced to accept a common model rather than use its own solution as a competitive differentiator".
Google recently said it would use new technology to stop copyright material from appearing and spreading on the site.
Google and YouTube joined Walt Disney and Time Warner in testing the new technology.
However, Google is also facing a $1bn battle with Viacom over copyright infringement.
Mr McQuivey said the pressure on Google to join the new initiative would be "intense" because "the fate of existing lawsuits will likely hinge on Google's acceptance of the common solution."
Buffett sells PetroChina shares
Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett is widely known as the 'sage of Omaha'
Warren Buffett's investment company Berkshire Hathaway has made a $3.5bn (£1.7bn) profit though the sale of its shares in Chinese oil firm PetroChina.
Mr Buffett said the sale was based solely on price, rebuffing suggestions he was reacting to criticism of PetroChina's links with Sudan.
Earlier this year some shareholders had urged Berkshire to sell its PetroChina stake because of the Sudan issue.
Berkshire bought 11% of PetroChina's public shares in 2006 for $500m.
'Sage of Omaha'
In May, at Berkshire's annual general meeting rebel shareholders argued that PetroChina - through its government-owned parent China National Petroleum - was too closely linked with the Sudanese government.
Sudan's government continues to be criticised by Western governments for atrocities in the troubled Darfur region.
The rebel proposal to sell the PetroChina stake, which Mr Buffett opposed, was successfully defeated.
at the time, Mr Buffett said that while conditions in Darfur were deplorable, selling the PetroChina investment would not improve them.
Separately, the 67-year-old denied this week that he was interested in buying troubled US lender Bear Stearns.
The bank has been badly hit by bad investments in the US sub-prime mortgage sector, which has seen record loan defaults this year.
Nicknamed the "sage of Omaha" because of his success with investments, Mr Buffett is worth an estimated $52.4bn.
Dow Jones tumbles on credit fears
Traders on floor of New York Stock Exchange
Dow Jones Industrial Average
The Dow Jones, the main US share index, saw shares plummet more than 360 points by the end of the week, amid concerns over the state of the US economy.
The benchmark index of blue-chip stocks shed 366.94 points or 2.64% at 13,522.02 by Friday's close of trade.
The slump followed a warning by equipment firm Caterpillar that the housing slowdown would harm the wider economy and cut its profit forecast.
Turmoil in world markets since the summer has raised fears of a recession.
'Poster child'
Caterpillar saw its shares down 5.3% to $73.57, and predicted weakness ahead after its earnings results, which missed forecasts.
"It's pretty ugly," said Bill Strazzullo, chief market strategist at Bell Curve Trading.
"A company like Caterpillar should be a poster child for global growth and benefits of the weak dollar," he said.
"It makes you question: Is global growth really that strong? Has the earnings kick from the weak dollar played itself out?"
The fall came on the twentieth anniversary of Black Monday - the day when stocks saw their biggest fall on the Dow Jones, losing some 23%.
Andy Brooks, head of trading at T Rowe Price, said: "Some of the earnings reports were a little disappointing but not that bad."
"I think we're responding emotionally to the 20th anniversary of the October 1987 stock market crash. I'd like to laugh except it hurts."
For stocks to fall by such proportions nowadays would mean a drop of around 3,000 points based on current market levels.
Global growth
The technology-laden Nasdaq fell 74.15 points or 2.65% to 2,725.16, while the broad-market Standard & Poor's 500 index declined 39.45 points 2.56% to 1,500.63.
Even though stocks have been volatile since the summer, with fears that the US housing slowdown would trigger broader problems, not long before indexes had been hitting record highs.
Finance leaders from G7 nations sought to mitigate the damage to the global economy in the wake of the credit crisis during meetings on Friday in Washington.
Ministers issued a statement pledging that they were "committed to doing our part in sustaining strong global growth," ahead of talks over the weekend involving the IMF and the World Bank.
Talking about market crashes lately. i found this interesting.
4:30 pm : Friday marked the 20th anniversary of the 1987 stock market crash, otherwise known as Black Monday. On that October day, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 22.6%. Against such a benchmark, today's 2.6% decline in the Dow doesn't look all that bad.
That was then, of course, and this is now. Before discussing the action on October 19, 2007, however, let's get one thing out of the way. It is nonsense to think participants were selling because of the psychological impact of the anniversary. Friday's bearish disposition was merely a coincidence and nothing more.
What Friday's action did signal, though, was some genuine concern about the U.S. economy that emanated from cautious commentary/lackluster results out of leading companies such as Caterpillar (CAT73.57, -4.09), Harley-Davidson (HOG 48.30, -0.65), Wachovia (WB 46.40, -1.74), 3M (MMM 86.62, -6.11) and Schlumberger (SLB 99.32, -12.30).
With the exception of Wachovia, each of the aforementioned companies topped third quarter earnings estimates. The stumbling point for investors were comments regarding weakness, or expected weakness, in the U.S./North American markets.
In terms of Wachovia, it missed the consensus EPS estimate of $1.04 by 14 cents, and like others in its industry reporting this week, it made note of an increased provision for credit losses and a deterioration in credit quality.
The latter played into concerns that the third quarter might not have marked the worst for the financial sector. That sense of uncertainty factored into Briefing.com's decision to reiterate its Underweight rating on the financial sector on October 8.
Separately, the rash of lousy earnings reports from the banking sector, combined with signs this week that the housing market continues to deteriorate, raised the market's fear factor about ongoing credit market risk. A telltale sign of the concern was the rally in the Treasury market.
The 10-year note jumped 28 ticks, lowering its yield to 4.38%. The 2-year note, meanwhile, saw its yield drop 14 basis points to 3.76%. When the week began the yields on these government-backed issues were 4.68% and 4.23%, respectively.
The indiscriminate selling in the stock market was another indication of investors' angst. Some groups, like energy (-4.3%), financial (-2.9%) and industrials (-2.9%), were hit harder than others, but the recognition that all sectors were down at least 1.0% showed there was little appetite for owning stocks in this uncertain period.
In light of the weak showing from the stock market, the dollar stayed on the defensive as the dollar index shed 0.24% against a basket of other major currencies.
Taking a step back, the action in the major indices on Friday was pretty much the equal and opposite reaction to the gains that were registered on September 18th when the FOMC cut the fed funds rate by 50 basis points to 4.75%. Recall that the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P surged 336, 70, and 43 points that day. How fitting then that the fed funds futures are now pricing in a near 100% probability of a rate cut at the October 30-31 meeting after pricing in only a 50% probability just a few days ago.
It wasn't a good day at all on Wall Street. Down volume swamped up volume at the NYSE by a 19-to-1 margin; and the ratio was 10-to-1 at the Nasdaq. An options expiration today added to the trading totals. After Friday's retreat, though, the broader market is still up up 5.80% for the year.DJ30 -366.94 NASDAQ -74.15 SP500 -39.45 NASDAQ Dec/Adv/Vol 2507/478/2.41 bln NYSE Dec/Adv/Vol 2775/522/1.78 bln
lol ive heard of Dj kay slay before.... but whois big lou? post some of his music maybe?
WNSH could be a possibility. i have talked to the CEO frank manzo on the phone before. maybe about a month and a hald ago. i asked him about press releases and such. he said he was working on "cleaning" the company up. going to be releasing 10qs and 10ks. and said " no press releases for ATLEAST 2 weeks. im IN WNSH from my newbie days and just let it sit there pretty much. i really am not sure if they are going to release much IMO he didnt sound like much of a business man. but i hope he does pull through lol! i think i actually have a limit order set to get me the FK out at .0005 lol!
lol. no not in these besides WBTO this is just some plays im waiting for to turn around. i play these on the bounce. My watchlist from thursday. will have more coming. feel free to stop by here!
a few picks from thursday. WBTO tuerned out nice! Also AOTL not really a bottom play but scored some .0011 on friday and enjoyed the ride back to .002! heres the list from thursday ill be sure to run some scans before monday and post some!
WYDW, CEQI DNAG HEMA MTIC TSXT WBTO
lets do it! thanks alot gordon!
thanks alot SL ill defietly look into those books and gonna read over those trading classes now actually. you said your from CT and now live in NS so obviously the cold doesnt bother you not sure if your a skiier. but either way i love this video. good quotes in there too. you might like it.
Hopefully my generation is able to change things. and this no pricacy thing is thrown out the window. BTW do NOT buy an IPHONE. lol. ( they can hear EVERYING you say when on it.) no matter how COOL the phone may be.
i will definitely look into the "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle. book. have you ever read any books on trading? i havent. not really a big reader. but that is something i NEED to change. it has been years since i have read a full book lol. i need to expand a little bit.
i need to start out with just restating this. because it is SO true LOL!
“You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.”
Im gonna have to agree 100% with that statement. and will have to admit i try everything sometimes EVERY possible way before i will actually do it the way i am SUPPOSED to. so i unfortunately assist that statement lol.
Also when you say "How is it helpful to let people you love and care about continue doing things that are self destructive and counter-productive, especially when you know they are capable of so much more?" im gonna have to agree with you there too because if you truly care about someone you would want them to take thier lives down the right path. not towards something like drugs and alcohol.
Furthermore i do NOT think it would be possible either to have a public nationwide discussion or vote maybe? on whats wrong with our economy and how it could be made better. I understand that Every country has criminals, but i feel alot of things the government is doing just makes them want to "hate the cops" or hate the government even more. IE: something thats not just bugging criminals now, but bugging almost EVERYONE. the FACT that the government is ALLOWING cell phones to be made, that they can LISTEN to at ANY given time. i think is just rediculous. cant we have SOME privacy?
I think my generation could be the generation to turn things around. we are alot different then your generation and growing up in what seems like soemthing totally different. but im sure you've heard from you're parents also the " when i was your age" storys LOL.
I think maybe the reson for heading downhill like you said "self-serving individuals in large corporations, and short sighted politicians," along with the president his cabinet and the entire government. i dont follow much on it but i know i havent liked pretty much ANYTHING i have seen lately. im curious to see what will happen also with the next president, and what we will do with the whole iraq situation. clearly i am not a fan of bush. if you havent seen my signature lol.
another thing. NOT just because i am underage. and i DONT believe this can be changed now. but i have been to england before. and the drinking age there is younger. and kids drink there, and use it more like adults. they dont ABUSE it. as thats is just how they grew up. drinking and driving isnt a huge problem. im not sure what it is. but here. if that was ever changed i know TONS of kids who would go right to the store get their booze get drunk and be driving around for sure. im not sure what it is. but over there things are alot different. and not abused.
either way i do hope things turn around here and hopefully once we get new people in congress things will start to turn around for the better.
ahahhah yeah as soon as i seen this pic. it was a must to have as a sig lol
at this rate IMO the US is not doing to good. maybe im younger and dont know much abut it. but damn it has been about maybe forever that ive actually heard a GOOD "economy talk" ALWAYS bad... i know people in eruope Almost ALWAYS talk good about their country. if i had my choice i think i would move to london england or something. seems alot nicer out there. that is VERY smart though if researching the currencies. and an honest belief that one pair is going to exceed the other it would work like this right.
Pair 1 greatest.
Pair 2 less valued.
Thaught in 5 years pair 2 will be greater then pair 1. so in turn. REAL ESTATE. buy land in pair 2's country with your larger valued pair 1 money. and hopefully eventually. you made yoursefl or saved yourself alot of money in the long run.
or like you said. maybe just bank your money in some other country that you think will in time turn out to be of a better value. BUT the hard part. is figuring out which economy will go one way.
sounds very good to me and could be a great FUTURE idea. and i need to take it 1 step at a time lol. and figure this out before i even start reseaarching that.
thanks alot SL my weekend has been good so far besides this weather! i hope yours is great too!
