Chris Cantell Discusses Markets: How To Survive
by Kamila Moravcikova


Recession, or being close to recession, or something like a recession, inflation, rates, cuts, consumption, deficient consumption, crises, weak U.S. dollar, expensive oil, insufficient national output, Dow Jones index decreasing, Wall Street announcing bad news, etc. Words like those became common, you could find them in newspapers, TV news, everywhere. And now experts say that it's not only American economy that is not doing good, also the Americans feels that they are not doing good, they are not satisfied with current situation and worry about what can happen.I don't think it's such a surprise. When you are surrounded by bad news, nobody can expect you to be careless what's going on. And it's maybe even worse because of the fact that few years ago people wouldn't have imagined that they would worry about economics, about prices or being short of money. Have they done something wrong? They just wonder why yesterday it was so easy and favorable to borrow some money and today for some reason they have problems with paying their loans back. They work really hard, they got paid and they realize that their paychecks are not enough, that the prices of some products increased and only little money left to pay all the dues. And they are afraid of losing their jobs as their employers are affected by the recession or something like recession as well. Will they be able to pay for their insurance? Medical care? As millions other people all around the world, usual American doesn't understand exactly words like recession, or something like recession, inflation, consumption, etc. Unless you are an economist, it's difficult to understand all that thing called economy. And what's much more worse, maybe there's somebody who can explain to you what it's all about, but is there anybody who can explain how to survive it without any significant damage?

Economic plunge affecting everybody


The current bleak situation that has visited the United States and caused several fears about the domestic as well as global economy plunge seems to deteriorate even more than it did in recent months. The market that has recently overcome another stock fall is predicted to fall into wider troubles, as the Thursday's change is reported to reach a 143 points' loss in the Dow Jones industrial average. In addition, analysts claim the worst part of the recession will just occur in the following period. Th mentioned average is in fact an index system maintained and reviewed by editors of The Wall Street Journal. Its main aim is to provide the public, investors, shareholders and other people engaged in the world of the US economy with the news of bold and heavy amendments in the business. The index adds and handles just a stock with an excellent reputation, monitors growth or decline of it in favor to mostly give the investors the hottest information about their shares. The index serves as a measure to the entire US market covering such diverse industries as financial services, technology, retail, entertainment and consumer goods.The possibility of even deeper recession is most likely to effect exactly the markets of common consumer goods. The fears reflect the opinions and concerns of the entire public, no matter what age or social status. The impact of the sharp loss in the stock market can't be ignored under any circumstances. For instance, the biggest loser among the 30 monitored corporations is General Motors Corp. with a fall of 4.9 per cent. The following consequences are foretold also by the company itself, as it said, "it will slash hundreds of jobs at its auto finance business." This branch isn't the only one that is up to face serious troubles. A chain of grocery supermarkets, Safeway Inc., has experienced a share's decline of 7.1 per cent, an change caused by weakening economy and high food prices.Every US citizen will face the recession, it will happen just in different measure and different ways and hopefully, the bad situation won't have an impact to the rest of the world in a large scale. However, the strongest and most unique nation ameds. Its singularity appear now in not very flattering way.

Still that economy!
by Barbora Misakova


There is one sphere where is not important if you like America or not & economy. In economy it is not important if you like US dollar or if you use it, if you are investing your money in some American shares or if you are just watching how the situation develops. Every economic move in America is narrowly connected to us and our economy. American economy is still the most powerful economy in the world, and if there is a problem, we can expect problems too.We all know about the American Wall Street crisis this year and those who are economic experts or at least read about this topic a lot know, how difficult and long-range process it is to put the economy to the previous and healthy level. Situation on Wall Street these days is not as good as it was, but some of the indexes had increased a bit. Last week the Dow index increased 0.27 percent, the Standard & Poor's 500 index rose just 0.23 percent but Nasdaq composite index decreased 0.79 percent. All these indexes sharply decreased this year and there is no sign it is going to be better. Even Hans Olsen, chief investment officer in JPMorgan's private client services, claimed it could fall even further.Generally stock markets fall 30 percent and it depends on this year's economy if the stock indexes will rise or fall again. Some analysts say, it can even fall another 15 percent if the economy is weak.There are tree basic problems & housing market, inventories and cash-strapped consumers and with it connected inflation. The biggest problems are with housing market & existing home sales slipped by about 1 percent. Another difficulties are with inventories. They are at very high levels what is caused by very weak demand. Problems with consumers' spending and income are another problem & they both are expected to rise by 0.2 percent while the inflation presents constant problem.It seems this year won't be as trouble free as we want.

The Wall Street Talk
by Livia Necasova


The Wall Street is a colloquial term for the New York Stock Exchange,because obviously the building stands on this street. I imagine that place like very busy street with a lots of people,walking fast, wearing suits,holding a case in their left hand and yelling to their Blackberry in their right.Or from the inside. Hundreds of people standing in the stock exchange hall, watching the many big screens and small screens and yelling on eachother, making phonecalls, cursing, argueing.Well, NYSE (abbreviation for New York Stock Exchange) is the biggest stock exchange on the world. Exactly 216 years old. In 19th century the Dow-Jones Index was composed to measure the development of the US-market.Some other well known stock index you might now are NASDAQ (stands for National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations), KOSPI (Korea Stock Price Index), DAX (Germany), Nikkei 225 (Japan), ATX (Austria), SAX (Slovakia) and many others.Are you lost when you read the economist section in the newspapers?The charts with many names and many numbers and with the small green and red triangles?Well its not that difficult to get the basic point on how it works.So imagine a chart or take some from the newspapers. Going from the left you always have a name of company, e.g. Austrian Airlines, the first following number is the current rate, plus or minus means if the stock rised or fell,then bid and ask-the actual offer and the request,the next number shows you the value from the previous day,the highs and lows and the sales.So if there`s a small green triangle you know that the stock are rising and it`s good to buy them. Did you know that you don`t have to be a serious broker to buy and sell shares?Even with 10 euro stake you can make some money if you`re talented.

Chris Cantell Discusses Markets: Is there any help for stressed homeowners?
by Lenka Lehenova


If you needed money to buy some estate, firstly you would revalue your own budget. But when you found out that you don't have enough money for it, you would start to think about mortgage. It is good way how to fulfill our dreams, for example to live in a big house with wonderful garden. Yes, it looks very simple but we all know the principle of loans. If you borrow some money, you will have to pay it off by installments and there are also loan explicit interests. Just this part of mortgage's process could become a problem. In USA housing market is still decreasing. Although the price of estates declined, there is influence of it and shares of Stock Exchange noticed strong losses. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is afraid of dangerous of home foreclosures and on Tuesday he urged lenders to lower the amount of their loans. The problem is that sometimes people borrow more money than they are able to pay back. The result is that numbers of late payments on home mortgage and foreclosures are decreasing. It has bad effect for the national economy and its stability. Bernanke's suggestion to change this unpleasant situation is reduction in amount of the loan for mortgage and other financial companies. Vice-president of Federal Reserve Kohn is anxious about bank's manage and its risk about financial instruments. On Wall Street, nervous investors pulled the Dow Jones industrials down 45.10 points. The housing collapse is also reason of home value which has been dragged down. Homeowners are stressed and frustrated but a number of measures have been offered to help them.

World Economy Crisis
by Livia Necasova


Sagging economic growth and record inflation. We could say that the US economy stands in a crisis.Those who by accident don't like President Bush or the whole US-government can be finding the joy in US misfortune but thats not funny at all.We all are affected. Accentuation of the credit terms,and the economic slide in the US slows down the growth of the whole world economy. So it's not only about them,its about us too.The american dollar reached a new low-Euro is worth 1,54 dollars ,the oil prices broke the magic 100 dollars mark for a barrel.The economy should be boosted with the help of the cyclical trend programme amounting to 168 billion dollars.Experts are awaiting economy to leverage soon. The situation at the stock markets around the world is very tense though.An extremely strong stock exchange price downturn not only for one share but for the whole group of shares on one day only is called "Stock Market Crash". We talk about a crash if the prices fall extreme low within one day at least about 10 percent. Activated mostly by spreading around bad news and informations which lead to panic sells. There' s been a crash on Wall Street on 28th October 1929, probably the most famous crash in the history ever,called "Black Monday" On this day dropped the Dow Jones Industrial Average from almost 300 to 260 points.The famous "Black Friday" is a myth cause Dow Jones gained 1,75 points on this day.The crash on the Wall Street have led to a World Economy Crisis a meant the end of the "Golden 20th years Era".

Wall Street finally advanced
by Lenka Filipova


Wall Street has finally finished this trembling January with a high success as investors lessen their worries about the bonds and in addition to this their optimism grew radically due to the awareness that the cuts by the Federal Reserve will actually help to improve economy.Even the Dow Jones industrials has increased by more than 200 points despite of the fact that it lost 190 points firstly. It rose to 12,650.36, that is by 1.67 percent.MBIA Inc, a bond insurer, tried to calm the whole situation down on Thursday when its chief Gary Dunton reassured investors that the company is able to maintain its AAA credit rating.According to Ryan Detrick, a strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research in Cincinnati, it is a really sufficient relief that the Federal Reserve acted as Wall Street desired. It followed the MBIA requirements and thus it lessen all the fears if possible and existing investors.The prices of government's bond have plummeted too. The 10-years Treasury note's yield decreased form 3.63 percent to 3.59 percent on Wednesday.It has been reported by the Commerce's Department's personal consumption that there has been a continuing downturn in economy since the end of 2007. It has been mostly visible in striking news about the drop in consumer spending. It reached its weakest performance in December that is however regarded to be the most flourishing shopping season.A recovery was noticed on Thursday's stock due to gains in ruined sectors like financials and home builders. Thus the sellers of a stock "short" bet should know that their price will decline and the price of those who are pushed to engage in and buy the stock is expected to rise.
