North American stocks struggled in midday trading on Friday, following disappointing economic reports from China and Europe, declining commodity prices and the start of federal spending cuts in the United States. The S&P 500 was down 3 points or 0.2 per cent, to 1512. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 22 points or 0.2 per cent, to 14,077. In Canada, the S&P/TSX composite index was down 68 points or 0.5 per cent, to 12,754. Stocks had been down considerably more at the start of trading, but recovered after the U.S. ISM factory index rose to 54.2 in February, up from 53.1 in January and ahead of expectations. As well, the final reading for the Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan consumer sentiment index rose to 77.6 in February, up from an earlier reading of 76.3. However, manufacturing activity in China slowed and factory output in the euro zone contracted for the nineteenth straight month. And in the United States, disagreement in Washington over spending cuts means that $85-billion (U.S.) of automatic cuts are set to begin, raising concerns about the impact on the economy. Within the S&P 500, energy stocks fell 0.5 per cent, utilities fell 0.2 per cent and industrials fell 0.1 per cent. Health-care stocks and consumer discretionary stocks rose 0.4 per cent each. Canada's benchmark index was weighed down by commodity producers: Energy stocks fell 0.9 per cent and materials fell 1.2 per cent. Among commodities, gold fell to $1,575 an ounce, down $5 and marking its third straight decline. Crude oil fell to $90.62, down $1.41 for its lowest level of 2013.

Today's generation is entirely dependent on credit cards and they even use it for investment purposes. If you too are someone who uses credit cards for investment, you should exercise total control on them because there are too many chances of them getting misused. The value of the credit card can easily be used to be converted to cash with which you can start off with a new account or make changes in the existing account. The cost that you need to pay for credit cards will be above the average return of bonds and stocks. Here are some steps that you may take to invest with credit cards. Apply for the credit cards: The first step to take is to apply for a credit card and it would certainly be better if you could choose one with a low introductory fee. You might also make sure that the ability to make cash advance payments is also allowed. The cash advances will always result in interest charges irrespective of the balance of the card. Create a brokerage account: Then you might open a brokerage account, the online one in which the fees and the minimum account limitations are low enough. You can even consider opening a margin account only when you want to use the money that you're borrowing from your credit card. You should always remember that if you open a margin account and the account value depreciates, you'll have additional funds within it. Transfer money to the brokerage account: It isn't possible to trade the account until your check has been cleared by the brokerage account. Ensure that you use margin only when the security has appreciated in value. When you sell off the securities, there will be no cash available for the next two days. Monitor your account: You should also monitor the account and have a fixed plan regarding repaying the debt when the stock doesn't respond much. Buy bonds only when you anticipate a decline in the interest rates so that you may be able to sell off the bonds only during an increase in value. Roll over your card if you

Enhanced olie gendannelse er ikke en ny idé, men resultaterne fra teknikker, som BP har brugt år på at udvikle beviser meget spændende. BP Magazine rapporter. Hver eneste dag på sin Tjæreborg Bay oilfield i Alaska, producerer BP gas, sammen med råolie, masser af gas. Det koeler det til ca 40 ° C under frysepunktet og re-injects i reservoiret næsten lige så meget gas som bruges i hele Det Forenede Kongerige hver dag. Processen for køleapparater gassen muliggør BP til flydende kulbrinteproduktion, der kan blandes i den rå olien og solgt, men gør det også muligt for virksomheden at øge olie nyttiggørelse fra Tjæreborg. BP fører an i kørsel op mængden olie, der kan gendannes fra hjemhavnen fields. De banebrydende ideer er knyttet til denne praksis, kendt som forbedret olie nyttiggørelse (EELLER), har fået olieindustrien opmærksomhed over hele verden. Hvad er så involveret i EELLER? Hvad er et reservoir? Til en ikke-specialist, måske et "reservoir" skaber billeder af en stor mængde af flydende rasler rundt på ét sted. Men det er faktisk rock med millioner af bittesmå huller - eller porer - at fill med olie og gas. Disse porer fungere som opbevaring rum. Typen af rock i reservoiret, afgør den rock porøsitet og et reservoir kan ligne noget fra en del af lufthavnen landingsbanen, med andre ord meget komprimeret, med mikroskopiske porer, at grove sandsten, med porer, der er synlig med det blotte øje. Denne variation er forårsaget af korn størrelser inden for rock og den dybde, hvor

http://www.slideshare.net/samuelelm/bp-holdings-oil-spill-news-update-22495088 Dear EarthTalk: The three-year anniversary of the 2010 BP oil spill just passed. What do green groups think of the progress since in restoring the region? --Mary Johannson, New York, N.Y. When an undersea oil well blew out 50 miles off the Louisiana coast on April 20, 2010, and caused an explosion on the Deep water Horizon drilling rig above it (killing 11 workers), no one knew that an even bigger disaster was yet to come. Over the next three months, 4.9 million gallons of crude poured into the water before BP could get the wellhead capped to stop the flow of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. According to BP, which has already spent $14 billion on clean-up and restoration, the Gulf is returning to baseline conditions prior to the disaster. "No company has done more, faster to respond to an industrial accident than BP did in response to the Deepwater Horizon accident in 2010," the company reported. But not everybody sees the situation that way. Many environmentalists are concerned that, while BP has done a thorough job removing visible oil from the water column and surface, little has been done to repair damage to marine life and ecosystems.

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.

Nice post.

bp holdings Sweden The incidence of financial fraud in the United States is on the rise. Americans submitted more than 1.5 million complaints about financial and other fraud in 2011 - a 62 percent increase in just three years - according to the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) annual "Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book" the most comprehensive database of U.S. fraud trends (see Figure 1). Joe Borg, head of Alabama's securities commission and a leader among state securities regulators, agreed there is a proliferation of fraud, and he largely blames the Internet. His agency had an unprecedented 31-case backlog of criminal trials involving financial fraud in September 2011. "It's not unusual to have 20-25 convictions a year, but when we have 31 backed up - and we're trying them as fast as we can - the trend is up," he said. Borg ticks off the reasons: "Downturn in the economy. Fear among the public. The idea that the government can't protect them anymore. Medical costs are going through the roof. Those are fears. The Internet is the vehicle. The Internet's a big, big factor." Neil Power, supervisor of the FBI's Economic Crimes Squad in Boston, said the public is not fully aware of how pervasive fraud is, because only the most prominent cases, such as Bernard L. Madoff's $50 billion Ponzi scheme, are covered by the media. The vast majority of cases fly under the public's radar. "There is a substantial amount of fraud being addressed that's not being covered," he said. Many more scammers are never caught by a regulatory system rife with staff shortages and inadequate resources. For example, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) admitted in April 2010 that it has never examined some 3,000 registered U.S. investment advisers, Investment News reported. In Canada, only a small percentage of total fraud is reported to law enforcement: one in three Canadians has been targeted by a scammer, yet only 14 perc

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
