BAE Systems gives us the first Army Hybrid Tank: American green power 2007-08-17 11:35:49 Well we know that the world has gone green made, especially the auto industry with their hybrid vehicles. Well it seems as if the American Army is embracing the idea, we know they have been developing a Hybrid Hummer, but now they have a hybrid vehicle with a bit more power behind it a tank. BAE Systems have been developing the hybrid tank for the army, which is to form part of the army’s future combat systems. The batteries which are to be used in this ground combat vehicle are being made in Detroit. The army believes that these hybrid tanks and hummer are very important, as they are more fuel efficient so there will be less fuel lines needed, and that means that less army troops will be put in danger. The army should be using the first hybrid tank by 2008, and will feature a Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon; there will also be a 155mm self-propelled howitzer as its main gun.

Fed Discount Rate Lowered: Your Thoughts On 5.75pct Federal Funds Rate 2007-08-17 10:28:16 Following the news that the Fed discount rate has been lowered half a percentage point to 5.75 pct from 6.25 pct, we consider whether this is enough to save the financial markets. A lower Federal funds rate does mean that the credit crunch will ease slightly, but do you think longer term interest rates need to be lowered? Although lowering the Federal Reserve discount rate is a good start to helping the financial market, doesn’t more need to be done? “It’s conceivable that the Fed’s actions today could go a long way toward restoring liquidity to the markets,” said David Greenlaw, an economist for Morgan Stanley. So perhaps this cut in the Fed discount rate is enough. Markets did open higher this morning but those gains that were made due to the Federal funds rate cut are being eroded away. It may take more than a cut in the Federal Reserve discount rate to save the market. What do you think? Will the Fed discount rate cut be enough? Source Written by ...

Tony Blair To Get £8m In Autobiography Deal 2007-08-17 08:59:10 Having left politics, the ex Prime Minister of Great Britain, Tony Blair, is set to pocket a massive £8 million, nearly US$16m, for his autobiography. The autobiography is apparently going to be about Tony Blair and his time as Prime Minster. Tony Blair was Prime Minister for over a decade and people have mixed opinion about his time in power. Many feel very strongly about the war in Iraq and blame Blair for the mess Iraq is in. Bill Clinton got £6m for his autobiography so I think it is easily possible for Blair to get £8m, just with inflation. What do you think about Tony Blair getting £8m for his autobiography?

The Yen Carry Trade: Is It Over? 2007-08-17 08:47:25 The yen carry trade has probably financed hundreds of billions of investments in the financial markets but the situation looks may be arising where we could have seen the last of the yen carry trade. The yen carry trade basically is a way of borrowing money very cheaply and the Bank of Japan has kept its interest rates very low. However, in yesterday’s trading the yen gain sharply against the pound, Euro as well as New Zealand and Australian dollars. This may be a sign that the carry trade may be coming to an end if people can no longer be borrowing yen cheaply. However there still could be a carry trade industry as the interest rate in Japan is still only 0.50%, way lower than other interest rates. Do you think the yen carry trade is over?

US Federal Reserve Interest Rates Drops 2007-08-17 08:12:08 The US Federal Reserve has been forced to drop interest rates to 5.75 pct due to the crisis in the credit market. The interest rate cut is said to be “temporary” but many think it will last as long as the credit crisis does. This interest rate cut is temporary for the moment but if it is maintained then it is likely the Fed will also lower the official interest rate target for the US. Analyst Sam Kirtley of The Gold Prices Newsletter said: “Any interest rate cut is very bad for the dollar but great for gold. We though the Fed would be forced to cut interest rates soon so we have told our subscribers to invest in gold and gold stocks in preparation for a rally” What do you think about the drop in interest rates?

Oil Prices Rise on Hurricane Dean, Oil Refinery Fire 2007-08-17 07:44:39 Oil prices have risen to their current level of $71.80 on fears about hurricane dean and a fire at a US oil refinery. Oil prices had fallen 9% on fear of a credit crunch coming as part of the current mortgage crisis. At the moment, hurricane dean does not pose an immediate threat to oil production. However if hurricane dean hits certain areas in the Gulf where oil rigs are stations are positioned, we could see 30% of US oil output being affected. Analyst Sam Kirtley of The Uranium Stocks Newsletter think that this volatility in oil prices is a reason to change the way in which we get energy, “Oil is a very unstable energy source whereas nuclear power is a more reliable option. With the added affect of fossil fuels running out, it will not be long before the world switches to nuclear power and then will require a great deal of uranium.” Do you think hurricane dean will send oil prices much higher?
