Toxic Money Habits You Need to Quit
|
 |
|
Emotional Spending
Using shopping to deal with life’s ups and
downs is common. Emotional impulse spending
doesn’t actually fix anything. In fact, it
tends to make things worse.
Lending Money
While it’s admirable to extend a helping hand,
lending money to friends and family members
can hurt both your wallet and your relationship.
It may be difficult for the person to pay
you back, which could breed resentment and
conflict. Click

Be
Prepared, Be Resilient for market ups and downs
Are You Ready?
So, markets are down, the oil price is seemingly
in terminal decline, the (alleged) Ponzi scheme
that is the Chinese economy is collapsing
and interest rates are on the way up. A crisis?
Well, for anyone who’s been around the markets

over again. Of course, the wise investor is

Sometime around April 2016, a third set of
locks on the Panama Canal will begin handling
ships as much as 2.6 times the size of the
biggest ones now able to ply the waterway.
U.S. ports from New York to Galveston, Texas,
have been gearing up for the traffic. The
Port of Houston Authority just finished installing
four cranes that are 30 stories high.
The opening of the Panama Canal locks is
just one likely event in what promises to
be an eventful year for the global economy.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement
could win approval from 12 nations that together
account for 40 percent of global output.

What might
happen to China in 2016?
Millions of people being relocated
from cities, fewer jobs, greater centralisation,
and more movie blockbusters are just
some predictions for the year. In
debates about whether growth is a
percentage point up or down, we too
often lose sight of the absolute scale
of China’s economy.

Do Falling
Markets mean recession is on the horizon?
Markets
have begun the year in extremely wobbly
fashion. Plunging equities have generated
most of the headlines; major indexes
in Asia and Europe are now in bear market
territory, meaning that they have fallen
more than 20%. But fear is visible in
other places as well. Read
