The analogy one can be put forward is that the American dollar (USD) is the cleanest shirt, among the soiled shirts in the dirty clothes closet. That is among the poor options available, the dollar remains the best choice among investors. Quantitative easing on a mass […]

The referendum is mostly being decided on identity and power. More emphasis should be placed on the calculation […]

The bonanza began when the nations of Norway and Sweden signed an accord in 2012, that they would share the renewable energy being generated in wind. As western Europe’s biggest natural gas and oil producer Norway has decided to make a major investment in wind power. The country plans […]
International investors need to consider what the announcement last week that the European Central Bank (ECB) was going to start quantitative easing (QE) will mean. The Europeans on the continent are going to join the most notable nations of Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States in the policy of creating more money. By purchasing asset backed securities and Euro-denominated bonds on a massive scale the ECB is hoping for several things to occur. The announcement came on 4th of September […]

The expenditures in the manufacture of drones are now dropping to the point where a revolution in the industry is about to take […]
