Fancy Another Dip?   [Report Abuse]  

Posted by: moneynewsonline     
It's been made official – as of 2012, the great financial squeeze that began in 2008 has become a double-dip recession in the UK. It's particularly galling when you consider that Australia didn't even have an ordinary recession. We might have them beaten when it comes to cricket, but their economy is clearly in a stronger position than ours.
Image By: VectorportalGovernment reactions ranged from “If I had a magic wand, I would wave it” (George Osbourne) whilst David Cameron blamed the return to recession squarely on the difficulties experienced by the eurozone. He went on to say that the economic crisis is likely to go on for years, and warned that the single currency eurozone ‘might break up'. No doubt this view is influenced by the problems that Greece is experiencing – which have seen a financial disaster requiring an enormous bailout from Germany and France.
Fears have been expressed by leading political figures that Britain may end up experiencing the same problems – an enormous deficit leading to (among other things) the devaluation of the pound and an inability for the government to borrow money. In Greece, this has led to people reverting to using trade in order to buy things, and on a more serious note, rioting in the streets, dramatic cuts in public services and even parents abandoning their children when they cannot afford to feed them.
A recession is defined as a period of economic decline, resulting in reduced trade and industrial activity. This results in high unemployment, spending decreases and companies and consumers alike find that they can no longer afford to spend as much money. In government terms, a recession is defined as two quarters of negative growth.
With all of this, it's pretty obvious that a double-dip recession isn't nearly as fun as it sounds. It's also obvious that there aren't any winners here – builder, banker, candle-stick maker, they all suffer when the recession hits. And if Cameron is to be believed, we're going to be stuck here for a very long time.

Unemployment & the Economy   [Report Abuse]  

Posted by: moneynewsonline     
For the past three years the world has undergone a number of major crises. There has been the inflation from 2008, termed the American crisis, then debt crisis globally and most recently, the European crisis. All these crises end up with one common factor adding to the economy; unemployment. The first sign of an economy in crisis are the high rates of unemployment that prevail. Hence, looking at the high levels of unemployment in the past three years globally; you can understand the depth of such a crisis. What exactly is the role of employment or unemployment in the economy? How do these two affect each other?
Relationship between the two
Unemployment is a characteristic of a failing economy. This is because when the economy is in decline people begin to lose their confidence to survive in such a market. Employees present a liability to the labour market and, therefore, when the labour market feels this pressure, the initial reaction is to reduce their work force. This leads to an increase in unemployment rates. The economy, on the other hand, also affects the unemployment figures. However, countries that have good economies provide better opportunities for job creation and will, therefore, reduce unemployment in their country.
Using statistics from the past three years, this argument can be further proved. Unemployment rates were highest at the dawn of the American crisis in 2007/2008. As more countries in the world experienced ripples from this event, the unemployment levels began to increase. Through 2011, a global unemployment high level of 6.1 percent was experienced; with over 200 million people worldwide being unemployed, an ever increasing figure.
Building the economy
Therefore, if unemployment rates and the state of the economies are related; countries should use this to solve the economic crises. Most global countries promote investments in their economy and labour market; promote entrepreneurships and the generation of income. These all are efforts to sustain their economies. However, these are only means to get the growth started, so for countries to be able to achieve economic success, they need to invest in employment.
Job creation, improved employment conditions and increased social protection are what the economy uses as sustenance. In order for countries to avert the crisis they are in and build their economies, they need to create jobs and eradicate unemployment. This will ensure they have a work force that can sustain the economy for years to come.

How Bonds Work   [Report Abuse]  

Posted by: moneynewsonline     
A bond is simply an agreement in which the investor agrees to lend money to a company or government in exchange of an interest rate, which is fixed. The company issues bonds at various interest rates and sells them to the public. Investors put in their money understanding that the principal amount would be returned along with any interest that is due by the maturity date. The rate of interest a bondholder gets depends upon the type of company issuing the bond. Government, municipalities and other corporations can issue bonds.
Businesses often need loans to move into new market, fund operations, innovate and grow as a whole. The amount needed by corporations surpasses the banks limit and hence, the companies issue bonds to whoever wants to purchase them. A bond is a loan which you are lending to the company. In return to that the company pays you interest which is usually doled out semi-annually. When the bond reaches maturity, the bondholder is paid back the original principle amount.
For the lender, a bond is like a sort of investment. Bonds can be traded. When sold at a lower rate than the face value, they are termed as being sold at a discount while if they are sold at a higher rate than the face value then they are termed as sold at a premium. Government bonds are issued to fund programs, meet their payrolls and pay their bills. Bonds issues by a stable government are really safe while those of developing countries can be a bit risky. Municipal bonds are issued by cities, counties, and states which have to invest money on certain projects like building schools, hospitals etc. Corporate bonds are issued by companies to pay their expenses. They are a bigger risk as compared to other forms of bonds. However, the interest rates of these bonds are high. Therefore, it can be concluded that investing in bonds can be really beneficial, yet risky. Anyone who decides to invest in bonds should look at the pros and cons and then invest money reasonably.

The Basics of Investing   [Report Abuse]  

Posted by: moneynewsonline     
A stock market is defined as a public entity for the trading of shares and derivatives of various companies at an agreed price. The stock market is one of the most important sources of the company to raise funds. History has shown that the stock market is an essential part of the dynamics of the economic activity. An economy where the stock market is going up is said to have a growing economy. In fact, the stock market is termed as one the primary indicators of a countries economic strength and development.
A share of stocks in a company means that you are a part of the company. You have the right to vote the board of directors and are invited to attend all board meetings. One of the unique features of the stocks is the notion of limited liability. If the company loses a case and it is supposed to pay a huge judgment, the worst that can happen to you is your stocks will become worthless. The creditors would not come after your personal assets.
There are two types of stocks: the common stock and the preferred stock. Common stocks refer to stocks owned by the general public. They have the right to get a share in dividends. When we hear that the stock market is moving northward or southward, it means that they are referring towards the common stock. The preferred stocks have fewer rights as compared to the common stocks. Companies that deal in preferred stocks usually pay consistent dividends to shareholders. The investors prefer buying preferred stocks as they provide current income as well as dividends. Hence, you should look for a high profit company, so the dividends can also be expected to be equally high.
The investors break down the market into various sectors, depending on the company's business. We should check the market indexes before investing in stocks. Not all the shares in the stock market are equally good. Restricted, float, outstanding and treasury shares have different attributes. The buyer should be careful while choosing which stock to invest money in.

Treasury Bonds   [Report Abuse]  

Posted by: moneynewsonline     
A treasury bond is defined as a marketable, fixed US government debt security which has a maturity of more than 10 years. Treasury bonds make interest payment semi-annually and only the federal tax is deducted from this amount. The bonds are initially sold through auctions. After the auctions, the bonds can be sold in the secondary market as well.
The treasury bonds are also called treasury bills which are securities, issued by the US government. When you buy a treasury bond, in other words, you are lending money to the government. Security is referred to as a medium of investment like bill, stocks and bonds. If the bonds are sold at a price more than their face value, it is termed as ‘selling at a premium' and if it is sold lower than the face value, it is called a ‘selling at a discount'. The face value is the original agreed buying price from which the interest rate is calculated.
For instance, let's say that you have a treasure bond of face value $1000 at an interest rate of 6% with 10 years maturity periods. If you do not have any plans of selling the bond in the secondary market, you can enjoy $60 annually. Suppose if we do not buy the bond in an auction and purchase it from the secondary market with a face off value of $1200. You have bought this bond as a premium. The interest rate will be $60 a year and the yield will be 5%. However if you buy the bond for $800, as it is a discount type of bond, your yield will be 7.5%.
The Treasury bond thus gives you two opportunities. If you are not interested in trading, you can enjoy yearly profits. On the other hand, if you are a bounty hunter and are interested in earning more money, the stock market is open for you. Just read the terms and conditions carefully and enjoy the benefits of treasure bonds.

The Market Crash 2000-2010   [Report Abuse]  

Posted by: moneynewsonline     
The entire world felt the strongest economical depression in the first decade of the third millennium. These years represented the world's hardest situation when it comes to resources. This didn't affect only 1st world countries, but also all the other underdeveloped countries that depend on them. All of the United States' allies suffered this depression, most of Europe and Africa also did. China has remained pretty strong, as it is totally unattached from the U.S. which was the center of the crisis.
When the terrorist attack of 9/11 happened, there was a very strong international recession that a lot of people never knew about. Connections between countries were paused as no one seemed trustworthy. The World Trade Center was down, all the operations and data that was stored there was lost. The papers that were burned during the attack had very valuable information that sustained a substantial part of the USA's economy. This attack was notably made for many more reasons than only generating fear in the hearts of American people. Many international economical activities were frozen due to this important data loss.
For the next 9 years, the world remained under that recession. In fact, it is now still on recession and the entire economy seems like it was totally lost. Little by little, some countries are managing to survive the crisis and look for side solutions for their economical issues. Countries like The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland and others are surviving the crisis in a much more stable way than the rest of the countries.
