Good evening friends
World recession is showing its teeth to India. Auto giant of India Tata Motors is facing reducing demand and for that they are closing down the plant again. Read the news I read at yahoo site.
Beleaguered car maker Jaguar has closed its Castle Bromwich plant, which employs 3,500 staff, for a fortnight just one week after the plant reopened following an extended Christmas shutdown.
Owned by India’s Tata Motors, the Telegraph quoted the company as saying that the closure was in response to the dramatic slump in demand for new cars and to prepare for construction of new models unveiled at the Detroit motor show last week.
Last week, Jaguar Land Rover axed 450 white-collar jobs, including 300 managers, in order to “help address the immediate challenges posed by the credit crunch”.
The company, which employs 15,000 staff in the UK, said remaining managers would not receive bonuses in 2009 or a pay rise until October at the earliest.
The company has appealed for Government help in easing liquidity issues, but an agreement is yet to be struck.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders has called for “swift action” from the Government to support the industry after reporting that new car sales fell by over 20 percent in December because of a lack of credit and confidence among consumers. (ANI)

Good Morning friends, something alarming and shocking for Indian inverters. I am also a small inverter in Indian stock market. My feeling is how is this possible? And if this is possible than we should not trust any one. I know others are not like this and I not mean to raise any finger on others too. But I just try to feel feelings of investors and employee of the company who are looking at the management with high respect and values. I read following news at the economic times.
A vast accounting scandal at Satyam Computer Services may increase investor nervousness about weak corporate governance and oversight in
emerging markets.
Satyam founder and chairman Ramalinga Raju admitted on Wednesday to inflating Satyam’s reported cash and bank balances by over 50 billion rupees ($1 billion), but little is known about how widespread the problem is and things could get worse if other frauds are uncovered.
The scandal, which is being dubbed by some analysts as “India’s Enron” and compared to Bernard Madoff’s alleged $50 billion Ponzi scheme in the United States, comes at a bad time for emerging markets.
Benchmark emerging equities are down 52 per cent since the beginning of 2008 as investors fled risk and hopes of a “decoupling” from a slowdown in developed markets proved mostly unfounded.
“It’s got to shake confidence. And it is compounded in my mind by what I already call the fear complex that exists around all global markets,” said Lesley Hand, a partner in accounting firm KPMG LLP’s forensic practice.
“The thing you don’t know here is how far reaching this is,” Hand said. “I don’t know if it will be long, long-term. But you let another shoe or two drop and I would say it would be way worse.”

Good Morning Friends, Market won’t lift even after Federal Reserve cut the rate. Word recession is going to remain. I was reading this news on yahoo site. The markets are weak in early trade despite an overnight rally on Wall Street after a drastic interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve to near zero.

“The markets have gained 15-17 per cent in the last 8-9 trading sessions. The rate cut by Fed is a good signal though markets may see bouts of profit booking at higher levels,” said Alok Agarwal, Head of Research, K R Choksey Securities.
The Fed reduced the target for the federal funds rate, the interest that banks charge each other, to a range of zero to 0.25 percent. That is down from the 1 percent in effect since the last meeting in October.
On Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average spiked 359.61 points, or 4.20 percent, to close at 8,924.14. It had been up about 100 in subdued trading ahead of the Fed’s announcement.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index advanced 44.61, or 5.14 percent, to 913.18, and the Nasdaq composite index rose 81.55, or 5.41 percent, to 1,589.89.

Good Evening friends, PM of Indian Dr. Manmohan Singh is takeing care of small and medium enterprises. I read following news at yahoo site. In a move aimed at further boosting the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) sector, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is understood to have asked a high-level committee headed by the cabinet secretary K M Chandrasekhar to look into the issues plaguing the sector and submit its report within a fortnight.
The move comes a day after the government announced a package to stimulate the economy. The package, however, has failed to enthuse its entrepreneurs. All India Confederation of Small & Micro Industries Association president Sudarshan Sareen said, “The RBI’s Rs 7,000-crore credit refinancing is too less. At least Rs 10,000 crore should be made available for rehabilitation of sick industries and another Rs 10,000 crore for marketing development fund.” A delegation of the association, which met the Prime Minister today, sought adequate support from the government.
MSME secretary Dinesh Rai told The Indian Express that the memorandum submitted to the PM included speedy formation of a special fund for enterprises in the unorganised sector and an enhancement of cash-credit limits/ over draft facilities by at least 15 per cent. Besides seeking extension of time period for reckoning MSE accounts as NPAs from 90 to 180 days.

Good Evening friends, I was sitting with my friends and we were talking about life. From life our talk change to life insurance and someone ask how much life insurance coverage I need. Just guessing, but you probably don’t want some complex math here. In case you want some real details, feel free to contact life quote center. You might get some results from a life insurance calculator. But if you give a call to life quote center know that we’re ready to help you with a detailed analysis of your personal circumstances.
If you’d just like to start with some do-it-yourself guidelines to get a ballpark estimate, do the following: Multiply your yearly income by 15. Or, another simple method is to add up the money you make each month and multiply this number by 200. What does this simple math give you? It tells you approximately how much money you may need to replace your monthly or yearly income, dollar for dollar – if you decided to get one of the life insurance types that pay a lump sum of money as a death benefit.
Now that we’ve answered this basic question, it’s much easier to accurately compare life insurance, as well as other forms of protection, such as long term health insurance and living coverage.

BSE Sensex is below 9000 again. I don’t know what will happen with the small investors. Market give them hope it’s growing and things looks positive. The benchmark index plunged below the 9K mark in the intraday trade as economic gloom intensified across the world. Japan has been officially declared to be in a recession.
The markets opened positive today on key measures announced by the RBI on Saturday. However, a weak Asian market weighed on the Sensex and it gave up the early gains. Among the Sensex stocks, Rel Infra, HDFC Bank, and Sterlite Ind shed nearly 6 per cent. Banking, realty and metal sectors witnessed the heaviest selling.
RBI on Saturday announced measures to improve money market liquidity and help exporters. The measures include extension of a special repurchase facility to provide liquidity for mutual funds and non-banking finance companies till March 2009, increase in the limit on export credit refinance available to banks, allowing housing finance companies to raise funds through short-term overseas borrowings, reduction in provisioning on standard assets of banks to a uniform level of 0.4%, and reduction in risk weights for banks on commercial real estate and on unrated claims on corporates.

Markets cut short its two-day gaining-spree with the benchmark Sensex dipping below 10,000 level after losing nearly 700 points on selling pressure triggered by concerns over companies cutting down on output and country’s exports slowing down.
The bellwether index tumbled by 696.47 points at 9,839.69 to end the day. Tuesday’s loss has washed away the most of 800-point gain Sensex recorded in the past two trading days.
The key index had last broken 10,000 level on November 6.
Similarly, the wide-based National Stock Exchange index Nifty dipped below 3,000 points level by losing 209.60 points at 2938.65.
Marketmen said Reliance Industries, the most valuable company, fell after reports that it might miss production deadlines because of a slump in fuel demand.
They said a fall of 15 per cent in country’s exports in October amid lingering global recession concerns also dampened the trading sentiment.
Capital goods index suffered the most by losing 587.55 points at 7530.88 after stocks of BHEL, Larsen and Toubro, Reliance Industrial Infrastgructure and Punj Llyod fell sharply.

I will be graduating my interior design after 2 months. And one of our practical examination to that is the decorating of a place. We will be graded. Our professor told us that we choose a place what we like to decorate. It must be unique. What I did was I went to some hotels, offices, and house. I choose a house to decorate. I have a friend whose house is beautiful and I told him that if I can decorate it for my practical examination. She agreed. So I thought of a lot things what are the materials that I should be using. I went to a mall and look at some stuff there. That’s where I saw a blind. It was a Wood Blinds. I called one officer in charge and asked about the features of that blinds.
He explained to me that wood blinds are simple, elegant, traditional, and even contemporary. The rich look that only wood window coverings can provide. Luxurious wood blind handcrafted from 100% Grade “A” hardwood. Wooden blinds custom made with kiln dried wood that is durable enough to handle extreme temperatures. Ideal solution for doors, and for windows with a thinner sill. It’s amazing what a touch of wood can do to increase your window’s visual appeal. Best for small windows or French doors. Wood window blinds instantly play up a room’s coziest qualities, while giving windows center-stage status.
I asked the officer how will I know if it will fit to the windows or doors the blinds I will be getting. He thought me how to do the measuring of Wood Blinds. Accurate measurements are essential for properly fitted blinds. Be sure to use a quality steel measuring tape since cloth tapes or wood rulers are not dependable for precise measurements. I should measure all windows, even though they may appear to be identical. It’s important to examine your window or door to identify any handles, screens or locking mechanisms that can create special challenges when installing and operating your blinds.
I will talk more in next post.
