Black friday is a reallity and everyone is crazy about it!


Are you also one of those who did everything possible to be the first taking advantage of the black friday? Well, you should definitely try to the same this year as it's probably one of the most amazing ones! Just read th story and witness it:

Hundreds queued up before the doors opened at the company's Fairfax, Va., location at 5 a.m., arriving as early as the evening before to shop.

"We skipped Thanksgiving dinner," said 30-year-old Arash Habiezadeh.

Wal-Mart, which operates more than 4,100 U.S. stores and 3,100 international locations, was expected to be one of the biggest winners this holiday season as its discounts resonate with budget-conscious shoppers.

Overall, the U.S. retail sector is expected to endure one of its worst holiday seasons in years, with sales expected to climb just 2.2%, according to projections by the National Retail Federation.

Still, concerns about the economy didn't seem to alter the spending habits of many Wal-Mart shoppers in Virginia, including Robert Balboni of Centreville, Va. who had loaded his shopping cart with a 42-inch flat panel TV, a portable DVD player and a Philips 2GB MP3 player.

"Even with the economy, you've got to go with the deals," he said.

Sending free e-cards online now that Thanksgiving Day is by the corner...

As you know, Thanksgiving Day is just by the corner and while most people are already preparing their households and their cards for everyone, I am still wondering why are there so many persons who seem to be unaware of the fact that we no longer need to write hundreds of cards… In fact, Internet solution has brought us the ultimate solution on this matter by the name and concept of e-cards, making it possible for us to send month2month free e-cards with all the ease that we have always wanted!

Keeping this in mind, why should we keep on wasting our money on cards that nobody reads or likes when we can easily send all those messages online with the free e-cards available on the website above? Moreover, with such an wide range of e-cards to choose from and with so many possibilities to send them over to the people that we love the most, I am sure that we can easily find some e-cards that will easily attract our attention and encourage us to send them over to the people that we would usually contact with regular mail cards…

So, why don’t you follow the president’s advice and save some money now that the economy is still a long way from total recovery and effective use of the national budget, why don’t we start to save some extra money with the cards that we would normally send by mail, by sending them online instead?

Black Friday is coming and everyone is willing to take advantage!


Would you like to buy some new clothes or any other extras for your Christmas? Well, get ready for the black friday, which is just by the corner!

Merchants know it's all or nothing when the clock strikes 12.01 a.m. Friday.

For many retailers, their survivability depends not only on having the biggest, boldest Black Friday sales they've ever had, but also on making sure that the critical holiday shopping season doesn't begin and end on the day after Thanksgiving.

Industry analysts warn that there's a high risk of that happening, given that many Americans are in a serious spending lockdown that has already pushed several retailers - including electronics merchant Circuit City - into bankruptcy.

Obama named his economic team to fight recession!


While all the US citizens are still wondering if Obama is the man to face the financial crisis, the truth is that he has already named his economic team, which is expected to boost our economy in the next few years!

President-elect Barack Obama named key members of his administration's economic team Monday, including New York Federal Reserve President Timothy Geithner as his Treasury Secretary nominee and former Harvard President Lawrence Summers as the director of the National Economic Council.

"I've sought leaders who could offer both sound judgment and fresh thinking, both a depth of experience and a wealth of bold, new ideas, and most of all who share my fundamental belief that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street without a thriving Main Street," Obama said at a press conference Monday in Chicago.

Obama is already planning millions of jobs


While most people in all other European countries wonder if Obama is going to be a successful president who can really match all the necesseties of the world, the truth is that CNN as recently showed the following new:

Saying that moving quickly is imperative, President-elect Barack Obama on Saturday offered an outline of his economic recovery plan to create 2.5 million jobs by 2011, saying American workers will rebuild the nation's roads and bridges, modernize its schools and create more sources of alternative energy.

"These aren't just steps to pull ourselves out of this immediate crisis," Obama said in the weekly Democratic address, posted on his Web site. "These are the long-term investments in our economic future that have been ignored for far too long."

Details of the plan are still being worked out by his economic team, Obama said, but he hopes to sign the two-year, nationwide plan shortly after taking office January 20.

He referred to figures out this week showing that new home purchases in October were the lowest in 50 years, and that 540,000 new unemployment claims had been filed -- the highest in 16 years.

Gas prices are now stable, is that so?


While we are claiming that the gas prices are still too far away from being fair for the consumers, the truth is that it took gas prices more than three years to rise from $2 to a record high of $4.11, but just four months to plummet all the way back again - and then some.

For the first time since March 9, 2005, the average price of gasoline fell below $2 a gallon, according to a report from motorist group AAA.

The nationwide average price dropped to $1.989 a gallon, down from $2.02 on Thursday. The survey bases its information on credit card swipes from up to 100,000 service stations across the nation.

Is this the country that we have always admired and loved?

Depression risk is related to the auto industry...


During a hearing on a proposed $25 billion federal bailout of the industry Wednesday, GM CEO Rick Wagoner used the D word to describe what might happen if Congress didn't approve some sort of rescue package.


Even though you may think that the current financial trends are the result of the bad behaviour of our banks, the truth is that our auto industry is also one of the main causes of all the social and financial depression that is menacing the US, these days...

"At this point without injections of liquidity, I think it's reasonably probable that some portion if not all of the domestic industry will not survive," Wagoner said. "The way I would explain it to your constituents is it's going to prevent the United States from entering into an economic depression in my view."

Of course, Wagoner and the other automaker executives have an interest in painting a worst-case scenario when asking for a federal bailout.

But the threat of a recession turning into a depression was echoed by Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs, who also testified at Wednesday's hearing.

Sachs said that those who argue that a bankruptcy of GM or Chrysler would be better for the economy in the long term should look no further than the damage from the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September.
