Anti-Government Socialism

June 28th, 2011 Emily Young No Comments »

Australian politics is turning into a game of musical chairs. Since our arrival, the leaders of both major parties have been changing so often, we can’t seem to keep track. Latham, Howard, Beazley, Nelson, Rudd, Turnbull, Gillard, Abbott.

As for the voters, they seem thoroughly confused. Each time we enter the Melbourne CBD to buy Krispy Kreme doughnuts there is a protest on against … well … something.

The ‘Slutwalk’ was a parade of women (and some men) dressed like ‘women of easy virtue’ marching for the right to dress that way, even though they do it every day anyway. We’re not sure whether the Libya protest was against Ghadafi or for him, against the war and killing or for it. The refugee Read more…

IRS Tax Return Audit Help – What to Do If You Get Audited

June 28th, 2011 Emily Young No Comments »

Even if you try to avoid tax audit red flags to avoid the attention of the IRS, the fact is that around 1% of all US taxpayers will be audited each year. While the IRS will usually only audit your tax return if they think they have found a glaring mistake and can collect money/penalties from you, sometimes the simplest error can produce a letter or a visit from the tax man. But just because you are being audited doesn’t mean you have to be scared to prepare your information and present it when asked! There are three different kinds of audits, including a correspondence audit, a field audit, and an office audit, and all will have different requirements for you to fulfill depending on the circumstances.

Two decent saving bonds

June 28th, 2011 Emily Young No Comments »

Sainsbury’s Finance has launched a best-buy savings bond. Their one-year bond pays 3.4% interest, making it a decent choice for anyone who can afford to lock their money away for 12 months. The only drawback is that the minimum investment is £5,000. Barnsley Building Society also offers a 3.4% rate on a one-year bond, but the minimum investment on that account is £1,000.

• Monarch Airlines has broken ranks with other budget airlines and scrapped debit-card surcharges. The airline is currently undergoing a major rebranding and is making moves to win business from rivals Ryanair and Easyjet. By scrapping charges on debit cards and announcing a flat £10 charge per booking for credit-card payments, the airline is making a clear move to distance itself from its rivals. Hopeful

June Consumer Confidence Index falls to lowest level in eight months

June 26th, 2011 Emily Young No Comments »

Washington – The Conference Board reported that its June Consumer Confidence Index fell to 58.5, its lowest level since November 2010.  In May, the Board’s Consumer Confidence Index stood at 61.7.

“This month’s decline in consumer confidence was driven by a less favorable assessment of current conditions and continued pessimism about the short-term outlook. Consumers rated both current business and labor market conditions less favorably than in May, and fewer consumers than last month foresee conditions improving over the next six months,” said Lynn Franco, Director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center.

Consumers’ appraisal of present conditions was less favorable than in May.

If M&S stopped reshuffling shelves, customers wouldn’t be so confused

June 26th, 2011 Emily Young No Comments »

Marks Spencer has come to the realisation customers find its stores so confusing that they often can’t track down what they came in to buy.

The retailer has decided to get to grips with this by overhauling its store layouts.

That’s ironic, since it’s the way MS constantly switches its stock about that causes confusion in the first place.

It’s not the only High Street retailer to do this by any means, but it’s one of the worst offenders.

Every few months, the food shelves in my local MS are reshuffled and I have to search out what I want from scratch again.

PCE core deflator (May): Annual rate set to rise to 1.2%

June 24th, 2011 Emily Young No Comments »

Personal income and spending both rose by 0.4% mom in April, but the increase in consumption expenditures was mainly due to higher prices, as the headline PCE price index went up by 0.3% mom. We expect personal income to have increased by 0.4% mom in May again, as average hourly earnings rose by 0.3% mom and aggregate hours worked posted a modest increase. But personal spending might have remained unchanged only. We already know that retail sales fell by 0.2% mom, and consumer confidence dropped significantly. Core inflation is still moderate, but is accelerating somewhat too, as shown by the rise in the 6-month annualised rate to 1.5% in April. We predict that the PCE core deflator has increased by a good 0.2% mom in May, a little less than core CPI.

Economic Growth in the Internet Age

June 24th, 2011 Emily Young No Comments »

Are you keeping up with our theme this week, dear reader?

We’re having a hard time ourselves…

First the news, then we’ll come back to… The Lost Century.

Yesterday, the stock market retreated – 80 points on the Dow. Still no clear direction… So let’s return to our story for the week.

So far, this 21st century has been a delightful flop. A washout. At least, for Americans. At least, from an economic point of view.

Here’s the evidence in a nutshell:

There are no more full time jobs in the US today than there were when the century began.

In terms of per capita wealth, Americans are now worse off than they were when the century began.

The value of US houses, for example, is about back where it was when the century began.

And household earnings, adjusted for inflation, are lower.

And America’s industries, businesses, and enterprises too are worth not a penny more today than they were in 2000.

And now…the background.

First, we admit to a keen interest in this sort of thing.
