BP Spain Holdings Review: Emerging Stocks Erase Weekly Gain on China, Commodities - 0 views

  •  
    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-03-01/china-stocks-fall-with-russia-on-manufacturing-data-oil-prices.html Emerging-market stocks erased this week's gains, led by commodity producers, after Chinese manufacturing data trailed estimates and as $85 billion of spending cuts were set to be triggered in the U.S. Vale SA, the world's biggest iron-ore producer, was the biggest drag in a measure of developing-nation shares. OAO Gazprom, Russia's largest natural-gas company, fell the most in two weeks. Bank of China Ltd. sank 2.5 percent in Hong Kong. Energy Development Corp. tumbled 11 percent as five people were killed and six are missing after a landslide in the Philippines. Stocks pared losses after a report showed American factories expanded at the fastest pace in almost two years. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index slid 0.1 percent to 1,053.13 in New York, dropping less than 0.1 percent for the week. China's official Purchasing Managers' Index fell to the weakest level in five months in February. The U.S. Senate rejected a pair of partisan proposals to replace spending reductions. The euro-area unemployment rose to a record. "The softer data out of China reflects the recession we're seeing in the euro zone, which is being intensified by the increase in taxes and the sequester due to start today," Alan Gayle, senior strategist at RidgeWorth Capital Management, said in a phone interview from Atlanta. His firm oversees about $48 billion, including developing-nation shares. "The sluggishness is weighing on demand in emerging markets." Monthly Drop Today's decline in equities added to a 1.4 percent slump last month, the biggest decline since May. The emerging-markets gauge has declined 0.2 percent this year, compared with a gain of 4.7 percent of the MSCI World Index (MXWO) of developed-country stocks. The measure of developing nations trades at 10.6 times estimated 12-month earnings, compared with the MSCI World's 13.8 times, according to data

    bp holdings barcelona CINCINNATI (CN) - The 6th Circuit tossed an $82.6 million judgment against companies accused of using false Medicare claims to bilk millions from taxpayers. In a federal whistle-blower complaint, the United States claimed that Renal Care Group, Renal Care Group Supply Co. and Fresenius Medical Care Holdings recklessly disregarded federal law between 1999 and 2005 when billing Medicare for home dialysis supplies and equipment. The government claimed that Renal Care Group had submitted false claims for equipment provided to home dialysis patients, and set up a sham billing company that interfered with patients' choice of supply options and forced their business. U.S. District Judge William Haynes awarded the government $82.6 million at summary judgment, but the federal appeals court reversed Friday. It found that there was no evidence that the defendants acted with actual knowledge or deliberate ignorance of the truth. "The defendants did not act with reckless disregard of the alleged falsity of their submissions to Medicare," Judge R. Guy Cole Jr. wrote for a three-member panel. "And given that there is no evidence in the record that they acted with actual knowledge (in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 3729(b)(1)(A)(i)), or in deliberate ignorance of the truth (in violation of 31 U.S.C. § 3729(b)(1)(A)(ii)), they are therefore not liable under Count One of the complaint for False Claims Act liability." The case has been remanded back to federal court. bp holdings barcelona

    Scammed BP Holdings What to do so you don't get taken by common work at home job scams: Internet ScamBusters #62 Today we'll focus on Part 2 of our series on home-based business scams and work-at-home scams. If you missed Part 1 in last month's issue on the Top 10 scams of this type 10 Tips on Avoiding Work At Home and Home Based Business Scams 1. Never, NEVER pay for the chance to work! This is the cardinal rule. You should treat working at home just like you would treat working for an employer at their place of business. If you were going for a job interview in the 'real world,' how would you react if the interviewer asked you to pay $50 or $100 to land the job, for starter materials, or for a 'good faith' payment to make sure you were serious about the business? You'd think it was absurd. No legitimate company charges employees a fee for a job. Whenever you're asked to pay for the chance at a job, or information about work-from-home jobs, you know it's a scam. Home-based businesses, on the other hand, may require start-up costs to cover investments, materials, franchises, or other items. As we state in the next step, check things out before you pay anything. 2. Check out the business before you pay anything. Have you heard of the business that's soliciting your money? If not, check them out carefully. Make sure they have a physical address and a phone number. Call to see if it's a real phone number. Do a search on http://www.Google.com to see if you can find any positive or negative comments. Check references carefully. Some warning signs of scammer companies: - They use free Web hosting services (such as Tripod or Geocities). - They use free Web email services (such as Yahoo! Mail or Hotmail). - They use Post Office boxes for mailings and don't disclose their real addresses. - They won't give you a telephone number where you can contact them. 3. Use your credit card to make purchases. This sounds counter-intuitive, but if you are going to

Bp Spain Holdings : Spanish Tax Facts - 0 views

  •  
    http://www.newsmeback.com/story.php?title=-bp-spain-holdings-spanish-tax-facts Taxation in Spain occurs at a national level and at a regional ('Autonomous Community') or municipal level. The Spanish taxation system was subject to a significant review in 2007 that resulted in the introduction of a new Personal Income Tax Act. The tax regime in Spain is controlled by the Ministry of the Treasury. Tax Year 1st January to 31st December. Assessment Basis Spanish residents are taxed on their worldwide income (earned and unearned), capital gains from all sources and on their worldwide assets. Spain operates a self-assessment regime. For personal income tax purposes, married couples may choose to file tax returns jointly or separately. Income Tax Spanish residents are subject to Spanish Personal Income Tax ('IRPF'). Individuals and couples benefit from personal allowances which reduce their liability to tax and which increase in line with the number of dependent children. A new structure has been created for the taxation of income, which now falls into two categories: the general base and the savings base of income. The general base includes salary and other benefits from employment, income from economic activities, and property rental income (either actual or deemed). Such income is reduced by applicable deductions and allowances. It is subject to a progressive scale which is applied to successive portions of taxable income with rates ranging from 24% to 43%*. In the autumn of 2011 a new tax bracket was introduced for higher income earners as an austerity measure, with income over €175,000 now subject to a 45% rate. The savings base is subject to a 19% tax rate on savings income up to €6000 and to 21% on the excess and includes interest, dividends, and capital gains/losses paid to residents in Spain, together with life and disability insurance proceeds paid to Spanish residents by a Spanish entity (or an EU insurer operating on a Freedom of Services pa

BP Holdings: Mercedes weakens to take back the premium crown - tumblr - 0 views

    news artices madrid spain As the global luxury car sales contest started, Mercedes-Benz falls further with the rivals BMW and Audi. Burdened by a disjointed strategy in China, the lethargic expansion of entry-level models and an aging S-class sedan, the once-dominant upscale nameplate remains firmly in third place. The said car sales contest dragged the Mercedes sales gap with second-placed Audi which has more than doubled within a year. An analyst, Christian Ludwig with Backhaus Lampe in Dusseldorf said that Mercedes's problems are homemade problems. And so with this, it's going to be extremely difficult for Mercedes to reach the No. 1 spot while others are not sleeping upgrading and keep on taking number of approaches to remain on top. On the first nine months of 2012, Mercedes delivered 964,900 cars and sport-utility vehicles. The 5 percent gain failed to keep pace with rivals, meaning it lagged Audi by 132,600 vehicles, up from 53,900 a year ago. The gap to No. 1 BMW widened 41 percent to 145,000 vehicles, according to data from the carmakers released by BP Holdings Blog. Mercedes has been trailing its rivals since losing the top spot in the luxury-car segment to BMW in 2005. The Daimler unit's sales will have advanced 19 percent through this year, compared with a 31 percent jump by BMW and a 70 percent surge by Audi over the past seven years, according to IHS Automotive estimates. The failure to keep pace is reflected in the stock. Daimler's 12 percent increase over the past 12 months trails BMW's 18 percent gain and Audi parent Volkswagen's 44 percent surge. Daimler trades at 7.5 times estimated earnings versus 8 times for BMW. BP Holdings Blog mentioned in the release, Zetsche is seeking to reverse the trend by adding less-expensive compact models, including a four-door coupe and a sport-utility vehicle, to attract younger buyers and by expanding the range of variants of the S-class flagship, which is in the last year of the current generatio

Den sista dagen för krav , en del av oljan bolagets uppgörelse förra året med enskilda och företag käranden , var alltid potentiellt rörligt , men liksom den öppna karaktären av dess kostnad som drabbade hem tidigare i år , får den obestämda utbyggbarhet inte ha varit fullt uppskattas av långmodighet investerare , analytiker säga . Förlängning kan inte göra mycket skillnad till det totala antalet och kostnaden för relevanta påståenden - $ 9600000000 i slutet av juni och stigande - men det skulle dra ut på bolagets hopp om att lämna bakom bredare Mexikanska golfen oljeutsläpp tvister saga som har tvingat det att sälja en femtedel av bolaget för att finansiera en $ 42400000000 notan hittills .

How Did Regulators Miss This Latest Broker Fraud?-OpenSalon , bp holdings barcelona - 1 views

  •  
    The year 2007 brought one of the biggest scandals in memory to hit the futures community. Brokerage Sentinel Management Group collapsed in what prosecutors later said was a fraud by its chief executive and its head trader, leaving customers out hundreds of millions of dollars. That December, one of the leaders of the industry, Russell Wasendorf Sr., warned authorities that beefing up policing in response would be overkill. "The regulators missed on this one, but fraud is not easily detected," Wasendorf wrote in an editorial in Stocks, Futures and Options, or SFO, an industry magazine he published. "Those who set out to line their own pockets have ways of hiding it, at least for a while." He knew what he was talking about. Unbeknownst to regulators, Wasendorf had been stealing from his customers' accounts for years, a fact he confessed after he tried to asphyxiate himself in a car outside Peregrine's headquarters in July. The dramatic end to his career came amid the implementation of electronic monitoring by regulators of Peregrine's accounts, a step Wasendorf had resisted. Interviews with former employees, colleagues and associates, as well as an examination of court filings and company documents seen by Reuters, paint a picture of an entrepreneur who, by using relatively simple tools, was able to keep regulators off the scent for years. He did this even as his behavior grew increasingly showy and erratic. As the financial shocks of 2008 savaged his business, Wasendorf went on a multiyear shopping binge, finishing an eco-friendly $24 million headquarters, opening a gourmet Italian restaurant in Cedar Falls, breaking ground on a second kitchen nearby, and installing a wood-fired pizza oven in his backyard. Wasendorf pleaded guilty to mail fraud, embezzlement and lying to regulators last week. He remains in solitary confinement and under suicide watch inside an Iowa jail.

BP Holdings article code 85258080768: Feeding Frenzy/Redgage - 1 views

  •  
    bp holdings article code 85258080768, Feeding Frenzy fraud watch In the months after the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded 300 miles off Florida's coast in April 2010, hotel and restaurant owners, fishermen and shopkeepers kept a grim vigil, waiting to see whether the millions of gallons of spilled oil would taint the state's beaches and harm its seafood. From a distance, thousands of others watched too, the Canadian, European and American tourists and business travelers who had hoped to rent the Tampa Bay, Sarasota or Naples hotel rooms, dine at the restaurants, shop at the stores, and meet in the conference halls along the Gulf of Mexico. Instead, many traveled elsewhere. Although no flocks of oil-soaked pelicans washed up on Florida's shores, and the 200 million spilled gallons did not blacken beaches as so many feared, the coastal communities and their businesses were nonetheless damaged by the BP oil spill, through economic losses - the visitors who never came. That is the contention of cities and counties, and thousands of business owners whose revenues fell in the months following the disaster. A number of Florida resorts and other businesses that sought early compensation for their losses - the plunge in expected revenue - found their requests denied, although London-based BP had set up a $20 billion fund for victims. But the firms couldn't prove their revenue declines were related to the spill. In December, U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier in New Orleans gave final approval to a $7.8 billion partial class-action settlement providing for economic and property damages from the spill, including those in Florida. BP separately agreed to pay $4.5 billion in penalties and pleaded guilty to felony misconduct in the disaster, which cost 11 lives. Barbier now is presiding over a trial to determine whether BP was grossly negligent, with another $17 billion in potential penalties at stake. A new, streamlined process recognizes losses farther from the ex
