London Bridge is Falling Down

Eurozone is a very interesting subject for me. I take Merkel's courage to put up the fight and continue to protect the region. That can be really some hard decision making there. I mean, Germany can just choose to bail itself out, talk about how vulnerable Italy and Greece is right now, I am sure that most would say they are not very enthusiastic with the situation. And this is funny because that's when I thought of that children's song "London Bridge is Falling Down". I don't have anything but well wishes for the entire Eurozone. I have done several businesses in Europe and I can say that it has always been good times. Europeans are generally nice, laid-back people. I like how slow and relax their days are. I am sure that with enough patience and perseverance all of us will get through this recession. There will be better days ahead, you just gotta keep on holding on and do what you do. These are tough times and in times like these, we need better decisions and sound realization of things and I am sure that we don't have to sing "London Bridge is Falling Down."

US Companies Outsourcing

And so we heard the culprit, Corporate Tax! There's been massive pullout by big companies out of state. These companies stated that relocating their principal business office could save them $100M in tax money. I understand that most of them would still maintain their manufacturing plants stateside. If this allegation that transferring their principal business offices in other countries will save $100M, I can be quite sure that there's something wrong with the current tax laws. US Companies Outsourcing will never happen if our tax laws are updated and works well for both the benefit of the company and its employees. But, who are we kidding? We all know that management and workers have different goals. Companies should be willing to gain some and lose some because if we don't see a good solution for this sometime soon, I am quite sure that in a bat of an eye every company will soon be moving out and that's bad news for everybody. That's a lose-lose situation right there. Our beloved Representatives and Senators better do something about this soon. We don't want US Companies Outsourcing become a norm.

Interesting Era

I could never be thankful enough that I wouldn't have to worry about who to vote this coming election because I'm voting neither of them. Although I'm quite most likely sure that it is going to be a long road to recovery. This is also a good time to test our resilience during difficult times. We should all learn how to adjust and be flexible whatever circumstance comes along the way. I know that this era is very interesting. This kind of phase is when people become more innovative just like the industrial period which turned out to be one of the most significant turning point in history. We are living in a very interesting period and I am very proud to be a part of this generation and experience all of this with you all. All of us has the same dreams for our children. A better country for their future, good governance, and the best environment for our children's holistic growth. I have worked with several public servants from the government and it is just so frustrating to know that there are many people whom we gave our complete trust and putting them in office but despite this, some of them choose to close their eyes to what is morally equal and just. I am not sure how these people sleep at night.  

Election Year

Everybody's so caught up with the coming election this November. Have you got a candidate yet? I don't think it's a matter of being a republican or a democrat anymore, that tug-of-war has long been gone. We should all start thinking forward and forget about our political affiliations. The most important factor is who can manage to help us all get out of this slow economy and I have to tell you that this country didn't get here overnight. It was years, decades of financial mishandling and we all are suffering this now because of miscalculated risk. Some analysts can even crunch numbers and percentage of how this country's growth is going to fare in a year or two but we can't simply rely on "Estimated Growth" for in the first place, we are all experiencing this now because of "Estimation." Sometimes estimation doesn't go the way we thought it would. What we need right now is a stable plan for growth. It will be a slow process but I believe that people can be resilient to undertake current challenges for a better tomorrow.

Guns, Guns, Guns

Everyday news about irresponsible gun owners circulate every state and this isn’t really something we should be accustomed to. Can you just imagine a seven-year old child accidentally shot his playmate dead? Seven-years old don’t know what guns are and personally, I think that we should held the parent’s responsible for such thing. States have different rules on gun regulatory ownership. We could all argue that gun ownership is a right to protect ourselves and I am all for that. However, I find it disturbing that irresponsible people are given license to carry. Gun owners should be more responsible about upkeep of their guns especially if they have children inside the house. Kids usually mistake guns for toys and this as we all know ends in disaster. We can’t afford to compromise our children’s safety over careless storage of our guns. We need to organize more lectures about how people should be diligent on keeping their guns on safe storage.

Real Estate Investment or Stock Investment

There have been some buzz on where people should invest their money especially these times when almost every market is volatile. Some people who are well knowledgeable about Stock Investment would most probably put their money in stocks. Although if you are a new player around gambling, I wouldn't really recommend it because stocks can be manipulated from people who knows how the system works and that's not really good news for people who are just starting to learn about the in's and out's of the stock market. I know many people who have been taking advantage of buying foreclosed properties and renovating then resell them at much higher prices or have the place rented. Properties are good investment. We all know that Real Estate Investment is profitable these days especially if you have some money stashed for investment purposes. It is indeed a good time to buy Real Estate Properties. As I have always said, it is one of the safest niche where one can put his money. We are not sure though how long will this bubble market last but that's still good news for buyers.
