Stock Advise Pt.1

Man are those good videos. Well, the first step in owning a good stock portfolio is to do some research. I would recommend looking for companies that have double (or even more) profits. This is a good hint that the stock will rise in price. Such companies: Harley Davidson Motorcycles and the unpopular Bank of America.Try this advice and may you may double your money in a matter of months.

Aid to Honduras

I am so happy to hear that Honduras will receive money from U.S.A. For the first time I am happy knowing that my tax dollars are going to Honduras. According to Honduras New,

Hillary Rodham Clinton, alerted the Obama administration’s Congress that approximately $31 million in U.S.A. assistance for Honduras would be forthcoming. “We think that Honduras has taken important and necessary steps that deserve the recognition and the normalization of relations,” Ms. Clinton remarked. We believe that President Lobo and his administration have taken the steps necessary to restore democracy.”

Hopefully Honduras will use this money to promote education. In order for Honduras to catch up with the U.S.A and other wealthier countries, Honduras must send its children to school.

Zelaya to Publish A Book

An article from Honduras News says that ex-president Manuel Zelaya plans to publish a book.

Manuel Zelaya is planning to publish a book detailing his removal from office within the next three months, he said.

The assumption is that he will write about his claims that business leaders in Honduras were behind the event, and were upset that he planned to copy President Hugo Chavez’s socialist policies.

No information was given on who the publisher might be, if he would be using a ghost writer, or if it would be in the “fiction or non-fiction” section.

This is very interesting that an ex-president already wants to publish a book. I bet that this book will cause much turmoil amongst Honduran citizens. Many Hondurans may be surprised what Zelaya's true intentions were in office. This book may even danger Zelaya's life. I find it intriguing the points that Zelaya will make in his books. Will he discussing his wrong-doing to the Hondurans while in office or will he reveal a plot which he was not able to make?

The Bads of Health Care Reform Pt.2

   
Another reason why I believe that the U.S. should not have health care reform is lack of competition.Such government-runned programs such as the United States Postal Service already lack integrity to do the job right. Last Christmas, I went to the local postal office, and I wanted to send a package to my grandma. However, I was unable to because the U.S.P.S. ran out of mailing boxes. I was very disappointed because the U.S.P.S. should have known that it needed more boxes in order to compensate for the high demand of mailing orders during Christmas time. Imagine if U.S. health care was like that, "Sorry, Johnny but we are out of blood today, you'll have to come back tomorrow." If companies have little or no competition, why should the company work as hard when it knows the consumer will come back.
   

How Obama Is Killing Foreign Auto Makers

                                                           Above is Toyota's president, Akio Toyoda

Before anybody complains against Toyota, please realize that one has only a 8% chance of having a problematic car. This also depends on how well you maintain your Toyota car.

Just because of this recall and publicity, does not mean Toyota has declined on reliability. Toyota halted sales for a particular reason- the floor mat. Complaints have been made against the floor mats moving underneath the gas pedal accelerator and thus trapping the mat underneath it. Other car manufacture have similar problems and not exactly take actions such as Toyota would. Nissan's suspensions has problems, they know about this but didn't halt vehicles, Honda's ball joint tends to come off especially from the back wheels (a serious problem), Ford's tires especially BF Goodrich pops unexpectedly and minor brake failure has been reported, and Chevy's has automatic transmission problems, so does General Motors, Chrysler, Cadillac.

Toyota is doing its best to help to customers. Toyota realizes that American Consumers have made Toyota what it is today- a successful car marker. People must be cautious when she/he hears the news, "Oh if we drive a Toyota now we'll die." Toyota is not a bad company; in fact, Toyota took smart decisions to make their vehicles more safer for future generations. I commend  Mr. Toyoda for coming to America to testify in front of Congress. Mr Toyoda was quoted,  

"I will be happy to attend. I will speak with full sincerity," Toyoda told reporters Friday in Nagoya, near where the company is headquartered.

"I am hoping our commitment to the United States and our customers will be understood," said Toyoda, grandson of the company's founder. 

Toyota has taken the right steps to ensure American Consumers are safe.

Unease For The Honduran Teachers

The political situation in Honduras is only worse. According Honduras News:

      Approximately 10,000 people marched from the capital’s main university heading to the presidential palace, but were diverted to parliament in the city center by soldiers, according to organizers of the event.

     Thursday’s protesters were calling for a constitutional reform, and denounced corruption and human rights abuses they believe to have taken place since Zelaya was ousted last June.

  

      Six teachers’ unions supported the protests, and called for a suspension of classes nationwide.

I support the teacher unions because if the teachers return to teaching the student, this would only suggest to his/her students that he/she supports the president. The government cannot abuse Honduran civil rights. The government make set a beneficiary mood/tone for the Honduran people

The Bads of Health Care Reform Pt.1

 

Before anybody criticizes this article, please understand I am for health care reform, but not the way the United States wants it. The United States wants the Federal Government have to control of the national health care system. The Federal Government already runs programs such as United States Postal Service, Internal Revenue Service, and Social Security and  the government has proven that it has failed at running large-scale programs such as Social Security. How would a government-run health care system be any different? Well, I am not sure that I have an bullet-proof answer, but here's is a suggestion. Let the American people have the public option this way nobody feels that the United States has violated his/her constitutional right.
