Economy Turning East.

Economy grows vertically, horizontally., say analysts.
Interpreting the same we presume that it moves upwards or downwards.
It also moves sideways.
Upward trend means a positive growth.
Downward tells us that it is negative .
Sideways growth is not healthy.
Take for example a plant, the up shoots show healthy growth.
The sideways spread insists on a totally difficult expansion.
This should be pruned in the initial stage.

Coming back to economy. we find a revolutionary change.
So long it was the West which dominated the world economy.
Dollar was holding sway.
Most currencies pegged their exchange against dollar .
The dollar is loosening its grip.
The Asian countries are rising up.
It is east,which has taken control.
As the sun rises in the east , the flowers and trees look to the sun for their activity like photosynthesis.
The economy tired of the cold countries domination ,wishes to nestle close to the warm nations .
India and China have rendered their accessibilty to the exasperated economy.


GDP forecasts 1.9% for most of the industrialised western countries.
But China would have more than 10% , coming rom the stimulus.
India can expect 7.3% .

It is an Eastward HO!!!

Can you elaborate on this issue?
It is nothing ,but an irrational spend out, an irradical composition, an erroneous flaw.. Housing was the first default. This was followed by scams , scandals and mad deficits that prevailed in the manufacutring area.The borrowings exceeded the capacity, as the interest was very low. A lavish free credit movement has brough woe to the economic structure.
A penetrating dent has been created.A delicate approach and sustained tinkering should be accomplished before reversing the derogatory trend.

Economy is fast recovering . Is it so?
It is and it is not. Recovering is there but in a snails space.before we could assess the damage , the recovery has started, and before we could foresee progress , there is a stagger that derails the progress.

How should we designate a renewal?
A fourfold path should be deviced.
One for employment.
One for appraisal.
One for infrastructure .
One for futuristic discipline.

Employment brings in revenue.
Appraisal points out the worthiness.
Infrastructure covers education, health, roads, and environment.
Futuristic is an explicit design to save .
If these derivations are pushed into the economy, it would become invulnerable and invincible.

But the U.S. envoy in Afghan, Kal Eikenberry has sent a message to Obama , saying that it is not a good idea to send more troops to Aghanistan, as Karzai has to prove his capacity to tackle corruption.

Hero In His own Way.

Aaron jackson is a hero who performs in a way different from others.
His "Planting Peace" is an organisation, that tries to bring peace to the world.
He does not arrest agitation, does not enter into politics, does not deploy his skill in eloquent oration, doed not discover , does not invent, does not do business.
But then what does he do?
He deworms children.
Are you surprised! Are you shocked!
Yes that is what he does.

Deworming stops malnutrition, decreases anemia.
With aid pouring from all quarters, as he became the hero of CNN in 2007, and also a featured guest in Anderson Cooper CNN -360, he was able to buy medication for deworming 3.2 million children in Haiti, aiding over a million in Sudan and Dominican Republic.

Aaron jackson is an expert in disbursing aid .
Did any one think of this equation?
Philanthrophists promoted educational institutions.
They built hospitals, They gave aid for marriages.
They came out with enormous advances towards charity,erecting old age homes.
But they never aimed at the kind of cause Aaron Jackson constituted.
His theory of prevention is better than cure , is a wonderul axiom.
Getting children out of the parasital infection, is a feat that makes my heart swell with pride.
At last , I have found a man, who really loves children, who really feels for their welfare, and who really toils for their well being.
He concentrates in the poorest of poor countries, where there is no money, no education and no awarenessof infection.

Looking Up And Looking Down.

The world is surprised over China's luminuous economy.
The progress is about 60%.
The economists are betting on China's future.
Chinese save 40 cents for every dollar of disposable income.
Americans refrain 3 cents of every dollar.
The saving culture of Chinese is alien to Americans, who spend what they have, keep nothing for the future.

Chinese thrift has become a myth.
As china is waking up to credit card, the spending has increased.
Every adult is entitled to credit card and the issue of cards is great in volumes
An individual can get as many as 8 to 10 cards.
This extravaganza lead to unmindful spending.
The distracted expenditure lands youth in debt.
As there is no bankruptcy law in China, the adults turn to their parents or friends to square of their liabaility.

Increased spending in China denotes the negative money, money which they do not possess.
It will take years for Chinese families to round off the debts that their offsprings have created.

As the world looks up towards China, China looks down which proclaims that it is no better than the rest of the world.

Once Again !Buffet.

When everyone is looking up at the sky, Buffet has looked through the rails.
The sky is dainty and romantic.
At times, the rails are also chivalrous.
Buffet ,got his board's ratification in 15 minutes to buy Burlington Rail.


Berkshire Hathaway will pay $ 26 billion to buy out Burlington Rail.
The cyclical industry has shown merits in the transportation of goods cheaply.
This low profile industry is plodding on its own, without much fanfare, with investors not showing interest .
The long term viabilty has held Buffet's attention.
AS he puts it "I love these bets", , his entry appears a little risky as most rail companies P/E ratios are in mid teens.


This deal marks a bet on the future of coal.Buffet is getting into the coal market ,in an indirect way,but doing it cheaply.With Berkshire's money,BNSF would be able to invest in infrastructure.BSNF ,is an outperformer, way ahead in revenue than its close competitor Union Pacific Corp.

Buffet is making a valid bet on the future of U.S. economy.
The puf puff of the rails , transporting cargo, may assume a derogatory perception, But Buffet finds diamnod beneath this black soot.

.
When the world is going haywire over gold, Buffet settles in for coal
Is he an oracle?
