Chris Cantell behadelt Der Betrieb: Starbucks schließt in den USA ungefähr 600 Filialen by Barbora Haramiova
Starbucks ist eine gut bekannte Kette von Kaffehäusern mit Sitz in Seattle. In vorigen Jahren erlebte Starbucks eine außergewöhnliche Expansion. Eine riesige Anzahl an neuen Filialen wurden in den letzten Jahren eröffnet. Jedoch jetzt, laut den frischesten Bekanntgaben, die am Dienstag erlassen wurden, scheint Starbucks, sich in einer Rezessionsperiode zu befinden. Der Schließungsplan hat es auf ungefähr 600 Filialen abgesehen, die nicht genug Gewinn erbringen. Weniger als 200 neue Filialen sollten 2009 eröffnet werden. Überraschende Tatsache ist, dass im ursprünglichen Plan die Schließung von nur 100 Filialen vorgesehen wurde. Zusätzliche 500 Filialen wurden auf interne Prüfungsliste gesetzt, sie wurden geprüft und verglichen und nach der Evaluierung von erreichten Ergebnissen stellte die Geschäftsführung des Unternehmens fest, dass sie nicht gewinnerbringend seien und es keine Erwartungen von künftigem Gewinn bestehen würden. Die Entscheidung über die Schließung wurde also als das Ergebnis gesehen. Heutzutage muss sich die Firma mit zwei großen Problemen auseinandersetzen. Das erste hängt mit dem Rückgang der amerikanischen Wirtschaft zusammen, der fast jeden Bereich der amerikanischen Wirtschaft betroffen hat, Starbucks ist keine Ausnahme. Und das zweite Hindernis ist die viel zu schnelle Expansion von Starbucks-Filialen in den letzten Jahren. Wie die Stellungnahme des Unternehmens sagt, 70% der zu schließenden Filialen wurden seit 2006 eröffnet. Man erwartet auch große Auswirkungen auf die Angestellten. Ungefähr 12000 Angestellten werden von dieser Schließung betroffen. Diese Anzahl der Arbeitskräfte stellt ca sieben Prozent der vollständigen Arbeitskräfte dieses Unternehmens dar. Sowohl die Vollzeit-, als auch die Teilzeitangestellten werden entlassen. Die Firma sagt, sie wird sich bemühen, all die betroffenen Angestellten in bestehende Starbucks-Filialen zu plazieren. Die Firma wollte zuerst nicht anerkennen, dass die Saturation des Markts ein Problem ist, dass zu schlechten finanziellen Ergebnissen führt. Sie beschuldigten die allgemeine Situation in der amerikanischen Wirtschaft. Aber in ihrer Erklärung aus Dienstag erkannten sie den tatsächlichen Grund der schlechten wirtschaftlichen Leistung des Unternehmens. Diese Schließung wird auch neue Einnahmen den bestehenden Filialen bringen. Die Starbucks-Kette besteht aus mehr als 16000 Filialen auf der ganzen Welt. Die Firma verwaltet mehr als 7200 Filialen in den US und mehr als 1800 im Ausland. Die ungefähr 7100 ausstehenden Filialen werden von Partnern verwaltet, die einen Vertrag mit Starbucks geschlossen haben.

New competition for aerial tankers by Silvia Szarkova
The competition to build new aerial tankers is now opened again! Robert Gates reopened it on Wednesday- Defense Secretary did this again after the picking up of Northrop Grumman Corp and EADS failed in favor of Boeing Corporation.
The 35 billion dollars competition will be now controlled by John Young who is the Pentagon´s chief weapon purchaser. This is different at it was from February when the Air force was in charge of the project. Gates suppose the final decision will be done until December, because, according to him, the current process has gone on far too long. Gates also told the journalists, that in new contest they will address all of the issues occurring with the old contract, which called out a vast protests immediately after awarding the two companies, of course, mostly from Boeing and its political backers in Congress.
The Government Accountability Office claimed “significant errors” in the Air Force´s selection last month and declared the urgent need of mending this service. Gates rushed to reopen the competition to build new aircraft for refueling warplanes in mid-air, which would replace 47-year old current KC-135 tanker fleet.
With its tanker based on the 767 airliner, Boeing was expected to win in February, but the Air Force choose the larger Northrop based on the A330 airliner( and this one is built by EADS´s Airbus unit).
John Young says: “We will not expedite steps in the process. We have to do this methodically, fairly and without bias in any way.” He claimed that the main aim was to this till December, but this time they will not going to hurry it up. Both companies will have equal chances and both can modify their bids.
The 15-year contract is first of three steps in acquisition phases made by the Air Force. Replacing the advanced age KC- 135 tankers is now the number one priority.

Chris Cantell Discusses Business: Nová súťaž pre vzdušné tankery by Silvia Szarkova
Súťaž na výstavbu nových vzdušných tankerov je opäť otvorená! Robert Gates ju znova otvoril v stredu- tajomník Ministerstva obrany toto urobil potom, čo výber spoločnosti Northrop Grumman Corporation a EASD zlyhal v prospech spojoločnosti Boeing Corporation.
35 miliardov dolárov stojí táto súťaž a teraz bude kontrolovaná Johnom Youngom, ktorý je vedúcí nákupu zbraní v americkej Air Force. Toto je novinka oproti februáru, keď Air Force bol na čele celého projektu. Gates predpokladá, že záverečné rozhodnutie bude spravené do konca decembra, pretože- ako povedal- momentálny proces už trvá príliš dlho. Gates tiež povedal novinárom, že v novej súťaži budú namietať všetky pripomienky a problémy zo starého kontraktu, ktorý okomžite poi vyhlásení výsledkom vyvolal pohoršenie a protesty, samozrejme, najviac zo strany Boeingu a jeho politických podporovateľov v Kongrese.
Vládna Kancelária administratívy vyhlásila obrovské chyby vo výbere Air Force z februára a dožaduje sa okamžitej nápravy tejto služby. Gates urýchlil znovu otvorenie súťaže na výstavbu lietadiel, ktoré by napĺňali palivom lietadla na blízkom východe , a ktoré by nahradila 47 ročné staré KC- 135 lietadlá, ktoré sa práve používajú.
So svojím tankerom na báze lietadla 767, Boeing bol favoritom na víťazstvovo februáry, ale Air Force si vybrala väčší Northrop založený na A330 lietadle( a práve toto stavia EADS jednotka pre Airbusy).
John Young hovorí: ,, Nebudeme urýchlovať jednotlivé kroky v tomto procese. Musíme to urobiť systematicky, sparavodlivo a bez akýchkoľvek preferencií. “ Vravel, že hlavný plán bol vybrať víťaza do Decembra, ale nebudú to urýchlovať.Obe spoločnosti budú mať rovnaké šance a obhe budú mať zároveň šancu zmeniť svoje návrhy.
15 ročný kontrakt je prvým z troch krokov a akvizičnej fáze, ktorú plánuje Air Force. Nahradenie zastaralých KC- 135 je priorita číslo jeden.

Chris Cantell Discusses Business: School expenses by Claudia Sonea
Americans are still facing a rough time as gas and goods̢ۉ㢠prices keep on rising. The consumers' behavior is affecting severely the merchants and the sales toll is not that positive especially now that the beginning of school is forcing parents to open their wallets and spend. Last year the beginning of school brought big time gains to retailers, but this year the expectations are not that high. June was a better-than-expected month with sales soaring 16.5 percent, in spite of the rising of the prices of merchandise and gasoline. That is much more than the 10.9 that analysts forecasted and makes some retailers to hope that July might pass through a similar situation and overcome analysts jinx, especially due to tax rebates that consumers receive starting May. The basic products purchased by parents will be notebooks and jeans, maybe backpacks (if there aren't any siblings from whom to pass on) and pens. For consumers the good news is that retailers are having an aggressive campaign of discounts. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, already announced this weekend big discounts for school products. This period is very important and comes next to the holiday season that was also marked by tighter credit, sluggish house market, gas prices at record heights. Retailers had to deal with consumers' hesitation to spend and the lack of money, thus many have filled bankruptcy like Steve & Barry's LLC, privately-held chain, did on Wednesday. Gap Inc. (reported a 7 percent decline) and Limited Brands Inc (9 percent decline) might also be in danger as people still avoid them. Up to this point UBS-International Council of Shopping Centers said sales rose 4.3 percent, but generally few have posted good results or expectations (Wall-Mart, Target Corp, Nemira, etc). Don't go away, more to come...

Decades ago you had your hands by Barbora Misakova
I like historical movies. Not such ones which are showing life of people living millions years ago when the mammoths were running on the wolds, but historical movies which shows that people could and also lived without money. And it wasn't such a bad life at all. Of course, people worked hard, that's truth, but I think it was much easier to work on my own farm, keep some animals and cultivate my own vegetables, than to live this life, full of stress and nerves. Few decades ago everyone knows what to do – women had to feed the animals, care for children and keep up the household. Men usually did the most hard work such as to plough the land, keep the bigger animals and protect their property and family. Yes, it was really difficult work, but only physical, so your body was able after a short time to get used on it. But what about these days work? Well, even though your body is resting more – especially when you are sitting at the office and just writing something to your computer, but your mind is working constantly. Eight hours of working and then, when you came home you are thinking about the rest of your problems, such as how to pay back our house loan? Will we able to pay it back? And when? Lot of questions and no certain answers. Just because of these things I really believe that those so called “hard times” were not as hard as we think. Why am I talking about this? Well it is just because the fact that still more banks and companies allowing various kinds of loans are either crashing or changing radically their fees conditions. The same happened with Wachovia, which ends with its Pick-A-Payment mortgages. Pick-A-Payment mortgage was giving to the customers opportunity to do their payments in four different payment options each month. From now on every new home loan will have to be paid fully, so it means no more less-than-full interest payments. So what does it mean for people? It means that they owes the bank higher amount than the whole value of their home represents. And this fact can lead lot of people right to the foreclosure. Today it is all about share prices and the position on the stock exchange. When you are falling, everyone will fall with you. These days there are money what gives you life. Decades ago it were just your hands.

Chris Cantell behadelt Der Betrieb: Vor Jahrzehnten hatte man seine Hände by Barbora Haramiova
Ich mag historische Filme. Nicht solche, die das Leben von Menschen vor Millionen Jahren zeigen, wenn noch Mammuten auf der Welt gelaufen waren, sondern historische Filme die das Thema der Rolle des Geldes im menschlichen Leben behandeln, wenn Menschen fähig waren, ohne Geld zu leben und es auch taten. Und es war überhaupt nicht ein so schlechtes Leben. Natürlich arbeiteten die Menschen hart, das stimmt, jedoch glaube ich, es war viel leichter, auf seinem eigenen Bauernhof zu arbeiten, Tiere zu züchten, eigenes Gemüse anzubauen, als dieses Leben zu leben, das voll von Stress ist. Vor ein paar Jahrzehnten wusste jeder, was er machen soll - Frauen mussten Tiere füttern, sich um die Kinder und den Haushalt kümmern. Männer übten gewöhnlich die härteste Arbeit aus - sie pflügten das Land, kümmerten sich um größere Tiere und beschützten ihr Eigentum und ihre Familie. Ja, das war wirklich schwere Arbeit, aber nur physische, der Körper gewöhnte sich in kurzer Zeit daran. Und wie schaut die Arbeit heutzutage aus? Na ja, obwohl der Körper sich mehr ausruht - im Besonderen wenn man in einem Büro sitzt und etwas am Computer schreibt - ist das Gehirn ständig im Einsatz. Acht Stunden Arbeit und dann, wenn man nach Hause kommt, denkt man über den Rest der Probleme nach, zum Beispiel darüber, wie man die Hypothek zurückzahlen soll. Werde ich es schaffen, sie zurückzuzahlen? Und wann? Viele Fragen und keine konkreten Antworten. Nur wegen dieser Sachen bin ich der Meinung, dass die sogenannten "harten Zeiten" nicht so hart waren, wie wir glauben. Warum rede ich überhaupt darüber? Es it nur aus dem einen Grund, weil immer mehrere Banken und verschiedene Anleihen- und Kreditunternehmen entweder bankrott erklären oder ihre Bezahlungsbedingungen erheblich ändern. Das selbe geschah mit Wachovia, das mit seinen Pick-A-Payment-Hypotheken abschloss. Eine Pick-A-Payment-Hypothek bot den Kunden eine Möglichkeit, jeden Monat die Einzahlung auf vier verschiedene Arten auszuführen. Von nun an wird jede Haushypothek vollständig bezahlt werden müssen, daher keine weniger-als-kompletten Zinsenzahlungen mehr. Was heißt das also für die Leute? Das heißt, dass sie den Banken mehr schulden, als der ganze Wert der Immobilie tatsächlich beträgt. Und diese Tatsache kann bei vielen Leuten direkt zu einer Verfallserklärung führen. Heute dreht sich alles um Aktienpreise und die Börse. Wenn Sie fallen, fallen alle mit Ihnen. Heutzutage ist das das Geld, das einem das Leben ermöglicht. Vor Jahrzehnten waren es einfach die Hände.

About the situation in the U.S. knows probably every one. Recession and ailing economy make problems everywhere, not only in the America, and to be honest, write about it every day is really boring. People already know about it, and sometimes it even seems to me like they get used on it, at least a little bit. Oil and the basic groceries are more expensive, everyone is murmuring and complaining. On the other hand, the things we actually don't necessarily need (such as computers, mobile phones etc.) are cheaper. Anyway, the most funny thing on this all is the fact that people are buying it. Because if we don't have any bread and milk, we can at least call each other spread that information. I know I am making jokes from things which aren't funny at all. But that's the truth. Computer business is still blossoming. The bright example is Intel Corporation – the world's largest company and the inventor of microprocessors used in most personal computers. While lot of big companies have real problems and there is threat of bankrupt hanging over them, Intel on the contrary is enjoying really good times. Their second-quarter profit which is 25 percent higher helped the company cruise Wall Street's estimates and the whole thanks go to the laptop chips. As said Intel CEO Paul Otellini the demand is very strong, and not only in the U.S. but in all parts of the globe – three-quarters of the company's business is outside the U.S.! Now I am not surprised at all that Intel shares rose 23 cents to $20.94. In the last three-month period Intel's net income represents $1.6 billion, while sales themselves represent amount between $10 billion and $10.6 billion. So where is that notorius financial crisis?

Do They Really Have To Loose Their Jobs? by Milota Sidorova
It's been just yesterday, that I have heard some news, that the biggest American Airline company of the same name is about to urge a job cut. At least 8 percent of its working potential (literally more than 200 pilots, 900 stewards and flight attendants) will be asked to leave voluntarily before August 31. The reason had been declared continuously rising crude prices. However, there are still few bugs to kill.
When you wanna compulsory 'voluntary' retire stuff, you will probably start with the senior ones. Paying extra provisions to voluntarily leaving, that is what I call at minimum – necessary fairness. However, the question consequently points to another reducing arrangements, with a direct impact on the passengers. And the question remains, whether reducing personnel will recover dangerous volatility significantly coming from the other side. As we know, oil market has been more than hysteric last few weeks. Except of nerves and doubts, investors feel above all – misunderstand with no serious source of information. Truth is, oil has been jumping from its recent maximum $146 down to today's $134,60 and there is nobody, who could certainly assure it won't reach up to $150 tomorrow.
Although some at least funny governmental measures, that clearly meet proactive environmental policy with the money talks. Yes, we are talking about abating restriction of oil mining on American shore. However, Bush promises to recover almost 95 percent of States demand, there's nobody who could assure, it will impact the rising prices. What is more than tragedy and comedy as well, when smart terrorists on the Middle East pay less than double prize for the same good.
And even reports, suggesting sufficient planetary reserves of fossil fuels can't somehow shake the markets to slow down this rat race.
Well, once again and clearly enough – where one cashes billions, the other one pays. Even if job cutting issue. And although employees of American will negotiate about the bid, the question remains, when do executives publicly announce the rising ticket prices along with the flight number reduction. Personally I would rather pay one's salary instead of feeding anonymous fat wheeler dealer making fortune on me.

Oil prices tumble in biggest weekly drop ever by Paulina Neshybova
On Friday oil prices recorded again its lowest decrease so far, and also the prices of gas per gallon dropped finally from their record high. But of course experts are not so opitmistic and they declare, that it would be foolish to believe that this drop could mean a trend. Nevertheless, the experts who were sure about the oil increase are now reconsidering their statements and they say that the time would show what´s going to happen. But some brave buyers were last week buyng those chepaer barrels, as the pullback was sharp, but the experts warned them to do so, asi t can be only a sudden decrease. According to auto club AAA, which is the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express the price for a gallon of gas fell about a penny that day and it means $4.105 and Diesel prices fell to a $4.842 a gallon. However, also the light, sweet crude fell on the New York Mercantile Exchange to $128.88, which is much beloww their record in trade. Even the prices of gas could be cheaper, it will not change the way how Americans drive and live. But buyers are now concetrating on more fuel – efficient models and they buy smaller cars instead of trucks or sports cars. Therefore the carmakers are now trying as fast as they can produce these more efficient cars. For example Toyota Motor Corp., last week said that they are going to produce the Prius in the U.S. and will stop the produciton of trucks and SUV, so they should meet the demands of consumers now. Also Ford Motor Corp. and general Motor Corp. are announcing their production of smaller cars.

Would you care for a portable home? by Claudia Sonea
Soon we will be just like snails, carrying our house with us. Well, that is soon, but for the time been we can just assembly it where we want to move. For instance, you have a house in London and want to move in Edinburgh, you don’t have to go through the madness of finding a house suitable to your needs, you just disassembly the old one and reassembly it on a new free space. This is all thanks to the prefab houses. "Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling" will offer us a preview of the contemporary houses- prefab homes with computerized designs, innovative materials that give a new spin to the prefab houses built after World War II. Starting Sunday you can all see the models of materials and plans presented at the Museum of Modern Art. Moreover outside the museum there will be five model homes built and showing important architectural advances in prefabrication. The first house, Cellophane House, has five stories, a steel-frame from Philadelphia, then is Burst 008, an Australian beachhouse of laser-cut plywood, Micro compact home (Britain and Germany), and System 3 conceived in Austria like shipping containers. A shotgun house beneficial for New Orleans famous for its floods is the fifth model. The fifth model is a digitally fabricated, one-room "shotgun house" designed for flood-ravaged New Orleans. H. Manning of London is the first creator of a prefab house, then there are innovators like Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, Jean Prouve in Europe and Thomas Edison, Frank Lloyd Wright and R. Buckminster Fuller in the United States. Since then people see an opportunity for the housing shortages created by wars and other calamities. Now, the buyer can have the portable house customized and this offers a great advantage.

Chris Cantell Discusses Business: Cena olejov padá na najvyšší doteraz týždenný pokles by Paulina Neshybova
NEW YORK - Cena olejov zaznamenala svoj najväčší pád doteraz, a galón benzínu nakoniec spadol z najvyšších výšok. Takže je už čas prehlásiť, že energia bude bublať? Experti sa až tak ďaleko nedostali. " Je ešte priskoro hovoriť, že sme už videli to najhoršie," povedal Tom Kloza, vydavateľ a hlavný analysta oleja u Oil Price Information Service v Wall, N.J. "Boli by sme až príliš optimistickí, keby sme verili, že tento jeden týždeň určuje trend." Avšak stále so zaznamenaním ďalšieho poklesu v piatok, niektorí priemyselní experti, ktorí si len pred pár dňami mysleli, že cena oleju ešte môže byť vyššia, to teraz zvažujú. " Ak už toto nie je naozajstná implózia, tak je to len jej presná kópia," povedal analytik a obchodník Stephen Schork v jeho dennom trhovom komentáre. " Čas ukáže. Napriek tomu, odteraz už sa nebudeme starať o rast na trhu.“ Dodávka ľahkých svetlých surovín v auguste klesla o 41 centov v piatok a usadila sa na cene $128.88 na New York Mercantile Exchange - čo je pod jej obchodným rekordom z viac než $147 týždeň dozadu. Priemerná cena galónu normálneho benzínu spadla asi o penny za deň, na $4.105, podľa auto klubu AAA. Ceny za Diesel sa znížili na $4.842 za galón. Niektorí analytici povedali, že národný priemer $4 alebo dokonca nižšie by mohli byť v blízko – takmer nemysliteľne už v lete keď tu nie je takmer žiadna pomoc na pmpe – aj keď upozorňovali že tu nie je žiadna garancia, že ceny zostanú nízke. Benzín sa môže trochu znižovať, ale hlavné zmeny v tom ako Američanioa žijú a jazdia sú stále ešte v pohybe. Kupujúci áut sa utiekajú k viac palivovo –efektívnym modelom. Predaj pickupov v U.S a tiež športových áut je dole takmer o 18 percent tohto roku počas júna, zatiaľ čo predaj malých út išiel hore o takmer 10 percent. V zastavovaní produkcie viac výnosných áut a SUVs, výrobcovia áut sa ženú za výrobou viac efektívnych modelov. Toyota Motor Corp., ktorá nebola schopná udržať sa s dopytom pre svoj 46-miles-za-gallón Prius hybrid, povedali minulý týždeň, že začnú produkovať Prius v U.S. a zastavili produkciu nákladných áut a SUV, aby sa stretli s požiadavkami spotrebiteľov. Ford Motor Co. a General Motors Corp. tiež oznámili plány na zvýšenie produkcie menších áut. Niektorí odvážni obchodníci využili týždenný pokles cien oleja ako šancu na nákup barelov, ktoré ako sa zdajú sú vo výpredaji. Ale olejový analytici radili investorov aby sa mali na pozore. "Kupovanie teraz je prílžitosťou ak hlboko veríte v $200 za barel, inak by táto výstraha bola naozaj aplikovan," povedal analytik Olivier Jakob z Petromatrix vo Švédsku v jeho výskume. " Ak sa ceny olejov obrátia, uvidíte aj rýchlu rekaciu na benzínových staniciach, pretože ich finančný prebytok je tak," AAA hovorca Geoff Sundstrom povedal. " Môže tu byť veľmi rýchle vrátenie cien."

Directory, Yahoo! Mail, news and posting. According to Web traffic analysis companies the domain yahoo.com attracted at least 1.575 billion visitors anually by 2008. It is the second most visited website in the U.S and the most visited website in the world. In February 2008 Microsoft made an unsolicited bid to purchase Yahoo! For $31 a share, or $44.6 bilion for all the shares. But Yahoo!´s board directors rejected this offer, calling it too low. So on May Microsoft withdrew its offer. Yahoo Inc. is trying to avert the showdown with Carl Icahn, an acerbic bilionaire, by giving him three seats on its board of directors in a truce that still leaves the doors open for a possible sale to Microsoft Corp. Eight of Yahoo´s current nine directors will be retained, but the company regime will stay unchanged – headed by Chairman Roy Bostock and Chief Executive Jerry Yang. Althought many shareholders do not trust Icahn, he will choose from the eight men he had already nominated and one new candidate - Jonathan Miller, the former CEO of Yahoo rival AOL. Throwing Miller into the mix of Yahoo's new directors was Yang's idea. If all of this calculation and conspiration will be successfull, nobody yet knows. But when the convulsions comes from the inside, nothing can save the company from outside.

Wachovia loses $8.9B, cuts 6,350 workers, dividend by Radka Konkolova
The United States are still facing the crisis. The value of dollar is still falling and stronger inflation occurs. Almost every man and every institution has got problems with money. Especially such companies where the value of their shares is rapidly decreasing and shareholders are losing their profits and dividends from them.
Even banks have denoted huge loss. And it was surprisingly huge loss. Wall Street has hoped that nation’s bank won’t have such big problems with credit crisis. But it was probably wrong, because fourth biggest bank, Wachovia, reported on Tuesday that it lost about $8.86 billion quarterly. And this is the biggest decline ever. Shares of this bank have been declining for quite long time so this could be the reason why it is the most stricken institution by credit crisis. But mainly it is because acquisition of almost $25 million value when in October 2006 it purchased Californian company, Golden West Financial Corporation, which was specialized in mortgages. And ten months after this “advantageous” buying there started a crisis with loans and mortgages in the US. And shares still declined. For example bank lost $4.20 per share in April-June period this year. To the contrary in the same timeframe last year it earned $1.22 per share. So you can notice the loss are really in significant size. Nowadays the value is slightly increasing, but there had to be some arrangements to be so. For example the management of this bank was changed and there are another changes prepared. As a part of this plan, bank wants to reduce the amount of the workers of more than 10,750. A majority of those jobs will come from the mortgages area, open positions and contractors. The bank has already dismissed about 2,000 employees doing retail mortgage jobs. They also want to reduce amount of providing loans and mortgages and to get rid of those people who prefer to use services of this bank to borrow money rather than the other services. Such clients are not perspective and won’t help the bank to solve its problems with shares, money and loss.
Analysts on average expected a loss of 78 cents per share on revenue of almost $8.4 billion. So they haven’t been so far from the reality. But it is not much positive neither for banks nor for people, although there are many new arrangements which should help this very one and other banks to recover.
Maybe after this experience people will realise that they shouldn’t spned so much money and do many “useless” expenditures, because it can’t result well in long term…

Stocks advance following sharp drop in oil prices by Radka Konkolova
American and other stocks as well are little bit calmer these days. Although some analysts, economists or citizens claim the crisis has already started, it isn’t necessary to became worse. The sign of this is, that value of stocks of almost or maybe more than a half of all companies which handle their shares on Wall Street, has have increasing trend. Few weeks ago the price of oil reached its historical top, but fortunately now it is down of $20 per barrel from beginning $147. Even the US dollar has swelled little bit, what has helped decreasing the oil price. Also the price of gold slightly declined.
So the consequence is that every stock exchange denoted increasing of about one per cent on average. Dow Jones rose 29.88 or 0.26 per cent to 11,632.38 after rising nearly 100 points in the early session. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 5.19 or 0.41 per cent, to 1,282.19 and the technology-laden Nasdaq composite index rose 21.92, or 0.95 per cent, to 2,325.88. Bond prices slipped as some investors moved from the safety of government debt to stocks.
Stronger dollar helped some companies which use oil or gas every day for long distances. So thanks to this also the value of shares of Delta Airlines Inc. rose 89 cents, while Continental Airlines Inc. jumped $1.54. But on the other hand, energy companies denoted some loss. Stocks of the biggest energy companies fell down average of $2.5.
AT&T inc., McDonald’s Corp. and Pfizef Inc., all among the 30 stocks that make up the Dow Jones industrial average, are doing relatively well, while the value of their share is increasing. AT&T which offers telecommunication services and is one of the biggest operator, earned $1.24 per share. Pfizer, the world‘s biggest drug maker, claimed it earnings are more than doubled and the stock value is up of 72 cents. Also McDonald’s denoted strong overseas sales, but the stock fell down 46 cents.
There are of course many other companies which offer their shares on the stock exchange. Although their value slightly increased, there are still bear market, so purchasing is neiter as strong nor often. And the outlook of the market is still pretty negative, according to Bill Stone, chief investment strategist for PNC Wealth Management.
Also stock exchanges from other parts of the world denoted some changes in the progress of shares and quite big amount of them increased.
I think this could be a good start, but I am really so curious about another progress of this situation, because it caused relatively big pressure on the economy not only of United States. So probably every country of the world wish to get better...

Chris Cantell Discusses Business: Kde je tá kríza? by Barbora Misakova
O situácii v USA vie pravdepodobne každý. Recesia, chorľavá a slábnuca ekonomika robí problémy všade, nielen v Amerike, a keď mám byť úprimná, písať o tom každý deň je dosťj nuda. Ľudia o tom už vedia, a niekedy sa mi dokonca zdá, že si na to už zvykli, teda aspoň trochu. Ropa a základné potraviny sú drahšie ako kedykoľvek, každý len žundre a sťažuje sa. Na druhej strane sú tu veci, ktoré v skutočnosti nevyhnutne nepotrebujeme (ako napríklad počítače a mobilné telefóny), a tie idú zasa s cenami dolu. Najväčšia sranda na tom celom je aj tak v tom, že ľudia tieto vecičky naďalej kupujú. Veď keď nemáme žiadny chlieb ani mlieko, tak aspoň máme tie skvelé, moderné telefóny, a tak si môžeme aspoň zavolať a podeliť sa o to, že vlastne nemáme čo vložiť do úst. Viem, viem. Smejem sa z vecí, ktoré nie sú vôbec smiešne. Avšak taká je pravda. Obchod s počítačmi a inými technickými hračičkami prekvitá, kým my nemáme pomaly čo do (s prepáčením) huby vložiť. Svetlým príkladom je spoločnosť Intel – najväčia spoločnosť na svete zaoberajúca sa výrobou mikroprocesorov, ktoré sa používajú vo väčšine osobných počítačov. Kým mnoho veľkých spoločností má značné finančné problémy a vysí nad nimi hrozba bankrotu, Intel si naopak naďalej užíva bezproblémové obdobie. Ich posledný štvrťročný zisk, ktorý vzrástol o 25 percent pomohol spoločnosti prekonať problémy, ktoré už dlhé obdobie sužuje Wall Street. A všetka vďaka patrí čipom, ktoré sa používajú v laptopoch. Ako povedal CEO spoločnosti Paul Otellini dopyt je veľmi silný, a to nielen v USA, ale aj vo všetkých ostatných častiach sveta – až tri štvrtiny transakcií prebiehajú mimo Spojených štátov! Už sa veru vôbec nečudujem, že cenné papiere Intelu vzrástli o 23 centov na 20.94 dolára. V poslednom štvrťroku predstavoval čistý príjem Intelu 1.6 miliard amerických dolárov, kým len samotné predaje predstavovali sumu medzi 10 a 10.6 miliardami dolárov. Ehm...pýtam sa teda - kde je teda tá obávaná finančná kríza?

Chris Cantell Discusses Business: Musia zo svojich miest naozaj odísť? by Milota Sidorova
Práve včera som počas večerných správ zachytila informáciu, že najväčšia letecká americká spoločnosť, American Airlines ohlásila zníženie stavov. Podľa všetkého by spoločnosť pred 31. augustom malo opustiť viac ako 200 pilotov a 900 stewardov a letových pomocníkov. Predtým však budú, samozrejme vyzvaní, aby spoločnosť opustili dobrovoľne. Ak to tak spravia, čaká ich istá kompenzácia, ktorá však, hlavne starším pilotom nenahradí trápenie s hľadaním nového zamestnania.
Každopádne, správa o tom, že letecké spoločnosti budú musieť skrátiť rozpočet nebola pri súčasnom cenovom vývoji ropy až tak neočakávaná. Cena pohonných palív, to je podľa zástupcov spoločnosti hlavným dôvodom prepúšťania dlhoročných zamestnancov. Avšak dlhodobé pozorovanie trhu s palivami len podporuje otázku, či tieto ušetrené peniaze predsalen budú môcť vyvážiť tak nebezpečne premenlivé ceny, ktorých zdroj prichádza z očividne ťažšie ovplyvniteľného zdroja. Nikto nezaručí, že júnové maximá prekračujúce 146 dolárov za barel, ktoré dnes dramaticky klesli na hodnotu 134 dolárov a 60 centov o týždeň nepresiahnú hranicu 150 dolárov.
Prepúšťanie takisto nezaručuje, že spoločnosti nesiahnu po iných, priamych a dôraznejších šetriacich opatreniach. Presne tak, ako nikto s istotou nezaručí, že pro environmentalisticky ladený zákaz ťažby ropy na americkom pobreží, ktorý bol pred časom anulovaný,v konečnom dôsledku zabezpečí naozaj všeobecný cenový pokles. Hľadať však príčinu poklesu treba pravdepodobne v celkovej ekonomickej situácii jedného štátu.
Investori pri tomto všetkom stále pociťujú oprávnenú dávku nedôvery, dezinformovanosti a obáv. A to aj napriek tomu, že správy z Perzského zálivu hlásia všeobecný dostatok fosílnych palív aj v najbližších rokov. Hra na schovávačku sa teda začala, otázne je len kto a s kým?
Ak by som to zhrnula do pár viet, povedala by som, že jeden mastí chlebík druhému. A to aj vtedy, keď nechce. Zníženie stavov v dopravných spoločnostiach je otázka citlivá, avšak neverím, tomu že by to bolo jediné, finálne riešenie. Na druhej strane, si asi do cestovného prasiatka začnem sporiť viac, lebo zdražovanie bude nasledovať hneď potom, čo ušetrené platy nepokryjú ekonomické straty. A začnem sa viac pozerať do cestovných poriadkov, pretože na prázdnych strojoch sa bude asi lietať a jazdiť ťažko.
Čo sa však týka zvyšovania cien lístkov, svoje vlastné peniaze by osobne radšej venovala výplate pracujúceho pilota, ako podporila nejakého burzového chytráka, ktorému to v poslednom čase začalo nejako dobre vynášať.

Chris Cantell behadelt Der Betrieb: Wo ist die Krise? by Barbora Haramiova
Über die Situation in den US weiß wahrscheinlich jeder. Rezession und kränkliche Wirtschaft machen überall Probleme, nicht nur in Amerika. Und um ehrlich zu sein, jeden Tag darüber zu schreiben ist wirklich langweilig. Leute wissen bereits davon und manchmal kommt es mir so vor, als ob sie sich daran gewöhnt hätten, zumindest ein bisschen. Erdöl und Grundlebensmittel sind teurer, jeder murmelt und beschwert sich. Auf der anderen Seite werden Sachen, die wir notwendigerweise eigentlich nicht brauchen ( wie Computer, Handys usw. ), billiger. Immerhin ist die lustigste Sache dabei, dass Menschen sie kaufen. Weil, wenn wir kein Brot oder keine Milch haben, wir einander anrufen und die Information weiterleiten können. Ich weiß. ich mache Witze über Sachen, die gar nicht lustig sind. Aber das ist die Wahrheit. Computergeschäft blütet pausenlos. Ein scheinendes Beispiel ist die Intel Corporation - das weltgrößte Unternehmen und Erfinder von in den meisten Computern verwendeten Mikroprozessoren. Während viele große Unternehmen mit Problemen kämpfen und einen Bankrott befürchten müssen, freut sich Intel, ganz im Gegensatz dazu, über wirklich gute Zeiten. Seine Gewinne im zweiten Quartal, die um 25% höher sind, halfen ihm, die Einschätzungen aus der Wall Street zu überschreiten und das ganze verdankt es den Laptop-Chips. Als Intels Geschäftsführer Paul Otellini sagte, ist die Nachfrage sehr groß und das nicht nur in den US, sondern in allen Teilen der Welt - drei Viertel des Firmenkapitals sind im Ausland angelegt! Nun bin ich nicht überrascht, dass Aktien von Intel um 23 Cent auf 20,94 Dollar angestiegen sind. In den letzten drei Monaten stellen Netto-Einnahmen von Intel 1,6 Milliardeb Dollar dar, wobei die eigentlichen Verkäufe eine Geldmenge zwischen 10 und 10,6 Milliarden darstellen. Wo ist also die notorische finanzielle Krise?

Pretože ak nebudeme mať chlieb a mlieko, máme aspoň telefón, aby sme si mohli navzájom zavolať a šíriť informácie ďalej. Viem, že si robím srandu z vecí, ktoré vôbec nie sú vtipné. Ale taká je pravda. Obchod s počítačmi len tak prekvitá. Krásnym príkladom je napríklad spoločnosť Intel - svetovo najväčšia spoločnosť a vynálezca mikroprocesorov, ktoré sa využívajú vo väčšine osobných počítačov. Kým veľa veľkých spoločností má problémy a visí nad nimi hrozba bankrotu, Intel sa naopak teší skutočne dobrým časom. Jeho zisk z druhého kvartálu je o 25% vyšší ako predtým, čo prekonalo aj odhady expertov z Wall Street. A za to všetko vďačí čipom do notebookov. Ako povedal obchodný vedúci Intelu Paul Otellini, dopyt je veľmi vysoký a to nie len v USA, ale na celom svete - tri štvrtiny firemného kapitálu sú uložené v zahraničí! takže teraz už nie som prekvapená, že akcie Intelu vzrástli o 23 centov na 20,94 dolára. Netto príjem Intelu za posledné tri mesiace predstavuje hodnotu medzi 10 a 10,6 miliárd dolárov. Takže kde je tá notorická kríza?

Chris Cantell behadelt Der Betrieb: MĂźssen sie ihren Job wirklich verlieren? by Barbora Haramiova
Erst gestern sind einige Nachrichten zu mir vorgedrungen, dass die grĂśĂten amerikanischen Fluglinien - die American Airlines - eine StellenkĂźrzung durchziehen mĂźssen. Zumindest 8 Prozent ihrer Arbeitskräfte ( konkret mehr als 200 Piloten, 900 Stewarde und Flugbegleiter ) werden gebeten, ihren Arbeitsplatz vor dem 31.August freiwillig zu verlassen. Als Grund wurden ständig steigende barbarisch hohe Kosten angegeben. Trotzdem wird dadurch nur wenig gelĂśst.
Wenn man die Angestellten zwangshaft "freiwillig" kĂźndigen will, beginnt man wahrscheinlich mit den älteren. Dass man ihnen zusätzliche Provisionen fĂźr den freiwilligen Abgang auszahlt, nenne ich zumindest eine notwendige Gerechtigkeit. Immerhin richtet sich die Frage folglich auf andere KĂźrzungsvorhaben, die einen direkten Einfluss auf die Passagiere haben werden. Und die Frage bleibt bestehen, ob die StellenkĂźrzung die gefährliche Volatilität tatsächlich verhindern wĂźrde, die beträchtlich von der anderen Seite aus kommt. Wie wir wissen, verhielt sich der ErdĂślmarkt in den letzten paar Wochen mehr als hysterisch. AuĂer Nerven und Zweifel fĂźhlen sich Investoren am meisten missverstanden, die Ăźber keine verlässliche Informationsquelle verfĂźgen. Die Realität ist, dass der ErdĂślpreis sich zwischen seinem neulichen Maximum 146 Dollar und dem heutigen Preis 134,60 Dollar bewegte und es niemanden gibt, der versichern kĂśnnte, dass er morgen die 150-Dollar-Grenze nicht erreichen wĂźrde.
Nichtsdestoweniger wurden zumindest einige lustige RegierungsmaĂnahmen eingefĂźhrt, die der proaktiven Umweltschutzpolitik und der Sprache des Geldes entsprechen. Ja, ich spreche von der ausgesetzten Einschränkung der ErdĂślfĂśrderung an der amerikanischen KĂźste. Wie auch immer, Bush versprach, fast 95% der Nachfrage des Staates zu gewährleisten, jedoch kann niemand sicher sagen, dass dieser Schritt die steigenden Preise irgendwie bremsen wĂźrde. Was eigentlich tragisch und gleichzeitig komisch ist, da kluge Terroristen im Mittleren Osten fĂźr die gleichen Waren weniger als dieHälfte zahlen.
Und sogar Berichte ßber ausreichende planetarischen Vorräte von fossilen Brennstoffen kÜnnen die Märkte irgendwie auch nicht beruhigen, damit sie dieses Zum-Sternen-Rennen ein bisschen aufbremsen.
Noch einmal und klar - wo einer Milliarden kassiert, muss ein anderer zahlen.Wenn auch in Form von Stellenkßrzung. Und obwohl Angestellten der American Airlines ßber das Angebot noch verhandeln werden, taucht immerwieder die Frage, wann die Geschäftsfßhrung Üffentlich steigende Flugticketspreise gemeinsam mit der Kßrzung der Fluganzahl ankßndigen wird. Ich persÜnlich wßrde lieber ein Gehalt bezahlen, anstatt anonyme fette Geschäftemacher zu fßttern, die dank mir ein VermÜgen verdienen.

Chris Cantell Discusses Business: USA: Ekonomický pokles pokračuje. by Silvia Szarkova
Úradníci Federálnej Rezervnej Banky v USA už viac nebudú znižovať úrokovú mieru- dokonca ani v prípade, že eknomický pokles povedie k depresii. Tiež znižovania z posledného obdobia boli nazvaté iba únikom zo situácie. Fed musel upraviť svoje predpvede o ekonomickom raste a iných ukazovateľoch, kedže údaje z prevej polovici roka 2008 ho k tomu donútili. Namiesto predpokladzných 1,3 až 2 precent nárastu hrubého domácejo produktu pre tentorok, Fed musel upraviť svoje predpovede o budúcnosti na 0,3 až 1,2 percenta. Hrubý domáci produkt predstavuje objem všetkých vyprodukovaných tovarov všetkými ekonomickými subjektmi v USA. Je to základný ukazovateľ ekonomického rastu, ktorý sa mení y roka na rok, a odlišuje sa aj pre rozličné krajiny. Iba pre porovnanie, HDP Veľkej Británie v roku 2007 vzrástlo o 2,9 percent. Táto zlá situácia pretrváva aj v nezamestnanosti- pravdepodobne porastie v rozmädzí od 5,5 pecent do 5,7 percent- nie najlepčší vývoj, keď zoberieme do úvahy rok 2007- iba 4.6 percent nezamestnaných ľudí v USA. Existujúce ceny oleja a iných tovarov tiež dávajú mnohé dôvody na obavy, že inflácia bude naďalej ohrozovať USA aj vo zvyšku roka. V stredu ceny oleja prekročili 130dolárovú hranicu za barrel. Predpovedaná inflácia je teraz 3,1 percent až 3,4, čím prekonal minulé predpovede v rozmedzí od 2,1 do 2,4 percent. Guvernér Federálnej banky Kevin Warsh v stredu vzhlásil, že už nebudú znižovať úrokové miery- redukcia o štvrť percentového boda na klúčovú hranicu 2precent by mala byť posledná zmena pre dlhšie obdobie. Mnohí členovia Fed sú optimistický do druhej polovice roka 2008. Séria silného znižovania úrokovej miery a 168 miliard dolárov by mala pomôcť americkej ekonomike, ktorá už aj tak platí privysokú metaforickú daň.

Chris Cantell behadelt Der Betrieb: USA: die Krise geht weiter by Clara Hrabovec
Die US-Zentralbank lässt die Zinssätze nicht mehr niedriger fallen - selbst wenn die Krise nun zu einer Kontrahierung führen sollte. Schon die Kürzungen der letzten Monate waren ein letzter Schrei. Die Zentralbank hat einen neuen Plan entwickelt, das zweite 2008 Halbjahr wird zeigen, ob sie auch etwas nützen. Das Bruttoinlandsprodukt stellt alle Einnahmen der Vereinigten Staaten und der in ihnen sich befindlicher Wirtschaftssubjekte dar. Im Vereinigten Königreich beispielsweise war das letztes Jahr 2.9 Prozent des Haushalts, während in den USA sich der Pegel auf 1.2 hält. Eine schlechte Situation hält sich auch bei der Arbeitslosenrate, die die magische Grenze von 5.5 Prozent bereits überschritten hat - kein Vergleich zum Jahr 2007, als er nur 4 Prozent waren. Die steigenden Ölpreise und anderer Güter lässt darauf hinweisen, dass die Inflation auch weiterhin anhalten wird. Die frühere Inflationsrate von 2 erhöhte sich nun auf über 3 Prozent. Der Direktor der Zentralbank, Kevin Warsh sagte Mittwochs, dass sie nicht vorhätten die sowieso schon niedrigen Zinsen zu drücken.

Chris Cantell behadelt Der Betrieb: USA: Rezession dauert an by Barbora Haramiova
Funktionäre aus der US-Notenbank werden den Zinssatz nicht mehr kürzen - auch wenn die lang andauernde Konjunktur zu einer Schrumpfung führen würde. Auch die Kürzungen von letzten Monaten wurden als "kurzfristig" bezeichnet.Die Notenbank passte die Vorhersage des Wirtschaftswachstums und anderer Entwicklungsindizes für das Jahr 2008 an, weil die erste heurige Jahreshälfte es wahrscheinlich beweisen werde. Statt einer im Februar vorhergesagten Steigerung des Bruttoinlandsprodukts (BIP) zwischen 1,3 - 2 %, wurde die Notenbank gezwungen, diese Abschätzung für die Zukunft auf nur zwischen 0,3 - 1,2 % zu korrigieren. Das Bruttoinlandsprodukt bezeichnet die staatliche Produktion von allen wirtschaftlichen Subjekten in den Vereinigten Staaten. Es stellt den Basisfaktor wirtschaftlichen Wachstums dar, das jedes Jahr unterschiedlich ist. Auch unter den Staaten variieren die Werte. Nur zum Vergleich, das BIP des Vereinigten Königsreichs betrug 2007 2,9%.Diese schlechte Situation betrifft weiterhin auch die Arbeitslosigkeit - sie wird wahrscheinlich auf 5,5 - 5,7 % ansteigen - was nicht die beste Prognose darstellt, wenn man sich die Rate im Jahr 2007 anschaut - die Arbeitslosigkeitsrate in Amerika betrug nur 4,6 %.Die aktuellen Erdölpreise und Preise von anderen wichtigen Handelsartikeln bieten auch viele Gründe zur Annahme, dass die USA für den Rest des Jahres durch Inflation gefährdet werden. Am Mittwoch überschritt der Preis eines Barrels Erdöl die 130-Dollar-Grenze. Die prognostizierte Inflation beträgt im Moment ca. 3,1 - 3,4 %, wobei sie die früher abgeschätzte Inflation von 2,1-2,4 % deutlich überschreitet.Gouverneur der Notenbank Kevin Warsh behauptete am Mittwoch, dass die Notenbank zu einer Kürzung des bereits niedrigen Zinssatzes nicht neige - von nun an sollte die Kürzung ihres Schlüsselsatzes auf 2% im ersten Quartal die letzte für eine lange Periode sein.Die meisten Mitglieder der Notenbank schauen der aufkommenden Jahreshälfte mit Hoffnung entgegen. Die Serie von erheblichen Zinssatzeskürzungen und 168 Milliarden von der Regierung sollten helfen und das beste stimulierende Packet für den amerikanischen Handel sein, in dem man bereits hohe metaphorische Steuern zahlt.
