World Business and the Economy across the world

With news springing up that the recession is over and there are signs of recovery in world economies governments need to be very careful not to repeat the problems of the past originally sparked off by 9/11 in the US – businesses need time to recover fully!

I previously wrote about how the attacks of September 11 sparked off a wave of interest rate cuts which began in the US and was followed across the world. This gave way to billions of “Cheap Money” and led to the banks lending to less credit worthy individuals. Once the economies started to regain composure post 9/11 the US government started to put up interest rates and we know where the story led after that with the American economy, the world banks and the collapse of major corporations across the world!

There is talk that with life coming back into the UK economy that the Bank of England could begin to think about putting up interest rates. However, the UK economy and the US economy and others across the world are far from out of the problems caused by past events.

Data is currently being released that unemployment is still rising with it being reported today by the BBC that “UK unemployment rose to 2.261 million in the three months to April, the highest since November 1996“. Government officials need to be considerate of the delayed effect or lag effect on world economies of unemployment.

As the jobless total increases there is less money spent within the economy and businesses suffer still further, and may need to make yet more people redundant and so on.

It is excellent news that we are seeing this positive news coming to the fore and this will in turn give businesses and people more confidence, which will hopefully begin a positive upward spiral.

12 units in Texas oil well for sale. 7 x ROI in 10 days

Business opportunity advert

I have already invested $20,000 US in 3/8 unit in the same oil well.  I do not have any more capital to invest otherwise I would. 

Another invester has been forced to return his 12 units to America as he no longer has the funds to pay for them. Each unit is for sale for $52,500 US.  The broker charges 1% commission fee which is payable when the units are purchased.  Minimum investment is 1/8 TH unit. 

I am informed that 60% of the well will be sold to Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) early next week (week commencing Monday 15/06/2009) and that the sale of the units will result in 7 x the investment.   Even if all 12 units are not sold and the sale of the well does not go ahead with the SWT the units will be sold to market and you will realise 3 x your investment.  The well is currently producing hydrocarbons. 

I am not an oilman.  I am trying to maximise my investment by helping my broker to find investors quickly so that the deal with the SWF can go ahead.  Please contact me before Tuesday 16TH June 2009.  Mobile Tel:- 07748 485493
