★ Evolving India Is Attractive To Saudi Arabia’s $500+ Billion Dollar Funds

News Analysis: Indian Higher Investment Returns, than in America or Europe, make the Financially Astute Saudis take notice and then act expeditiously. The 1.2+ Billion Residents of India make for many opportunities for growth of Projects. 270+ Million of its Citizens are 24 Years of Age or Younger; an enormous market with a lengthy future.

India has Bauxite, Chromite,  Coal (the World’s Fourth Largest Reserves), Diamonds, Gas, Iron Ore, Manganese, Petroleum, Rare Earths, and Titanite; it is a Horn of Plenty.

A developing Market Economy pushed India’s Gross Domestic Product to $4.7+ Trillion Dollars last year. 

Percentage-Wise, Manufacturing is set to grow phenomenally. Currently it consists of: Cement Production, Chemicals, Food Processing, Machinery, Mining, Petroleum Production, Pharmaceuticals, Software (Bangalore), Steel, and Transportation Equipment.

The Country Exports are: Apparel, Chemicals, Iron, Petroleum Products, Precious Stones, and Vehicles; these to: United Arab Emirates, United States, China, Singapore, and Hong Kong. 

It Imported 6.7+% of its Expenditures (primarily Petroleum) from Saudi Arabia.

Now that India has signed a Strategic Agreement with Saudi Arabia, both Countries can accelerate the development of a Very Productive Trade Relationship; one that is very much to their Mutual Benefit.

Entrepreneurs and Investors should pay attention to the Prescient Saudis, for their keen Commercial Insight has been respected by Seasoned International Businessmen for Decades.  The Wise Saudis, while noted for their Petroleum Astuteness, should also be paid attention to, as to Where and When they make Strategic Investments; one can learn from the Masters.

Investors copying the Saudis’ Investments in India is not ‘Economic Plagiarism’ but acts of showing Proper Respect of Wise International Businessmen.

☆ $100 Trillion Dollars In Debt: No Problem

News Analysis: In 2007, $70 Trillion Dollars was the World Governments’ reported Debt Levels. Six years later $30 Trillion Dollars was added to this Mount Everest of Debt. Many World Leaders say – “$100 Trillion Dollars In Debt: No Problem”. Their comprehension of the size of their debt is ‘Non-Existent”, many people say.

Corporations added $21 Trillion Dollars of Debt to an adjacent “Mountain” over the Six Years. Again, Investors merely shrug off the “Goliath” as though it does not exist; they are either in ‘Denial’ or not comprehending the possible deleterious nature of their creations.

The problem with the Preposterous Scale of the Debt is “It Is Almost Insurmountable” many Economists think. Paying it off will surely slow down the speed of World Economic Recoveries they submit.

It is unfortunate that many World Leaders have such poor understandings of Economics conjoined with the reality of Entropic Occurrences which Nations face from time to time. Financially, they seek ‘Short Term Relief’ which can cause “Sustained Grief” for their Citizenry.

The Financial Myopia of many World Leaders is so bad that one may consider these “Masters of the Universe” to be suffering from “Mass Economic Astigmatism”.

☆ Pentagon Producers’ Persian Perfidy Ploy Parallels Prostitutes’ Patrons’ Payments

News Analysis: Pentagon Producers’ Persian Perfidy Ploy Parallels Prostitutes’ Patrons’ Payments which the “Johns” use to try to control their favorite “Performers” while vowing ‘Loyalty’ to their Spouses. Many Military-Industrial Complex Contractors swear Fealty to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) while savoring Business Deals with any other Governments they can get away with. Their ‘loyalties’ are as good as “Street Walkers” picking up cash and then ‘performing’  from anyone with Dollars in their Wallets.

The apparent Naivety of these “Fools With ‘DOD’ Clearances” (FWDODC) is exhibited by their ignorance of the Persians (an Ancient Culture which has lasted through many Trials and Tribulations). These “FWDODC” think the Persians will be so enamored with their Products, they will Capitulate? Hardly! The obvious Weakness of Thought being generated by the U.S.White House has allowed the “FWDODC” to proceed with their conniving, it has been written.

Many people think the Persian Leader has the Wiliness of the Fox and the Intrepidness of the Wolverine. As other Middle East Leaders assess the situation: “The ‘FWDODC’ are No Match for the Persian Leader and his Followers; like them or not (but Respect them for their Capabilities).

☆ International Businessmen Realize Electronic Communications Privacy Is A Myth

News Analysis: International Businessmen Realize Electronic Communications Privacy Is A Myth (due to Electronic Interceptions by Governments Everywhere). One must assume that beyond the U.S. National Security Agency’s (NSA’s) Spectacular Ability to Monitor the Entire World’s Communications, other Nations are trying to emulate the ‘NSA’s’ capabilities.

The ‘NSA’s’ “Cover” Explanation of ‘Looking For Terrorists Everywhere On Planet Earth’ is a Profound Sad Joke, accepted on its face by Fools. Instead, “Billions of Dollars are spent YEARLY to Gain Commercial Information From International Competitors To Give to America’s Military-Industrial Complex’s Contractors” many people say (to the rabid denial by ‘NSA’ Personnel in their Infrequent Public Addresses).

Beyond, merely Sitting On One’s Cell Phone, to Maintain Privacy, International Businessmen MUST CONSTANTLY “THINK PRIVACY”. If more Face-To-Face Conversations, in proper environments are required, then so-be-it (the Cost of Doing Business).

Engaging in International Business, one learns “Information Is Power, Personal Information Is Nuclear”; Wise Businessmen learn and then practice its Decipherable Mandate. They also make certain all of their Employees also understand “Loose Lips Sink Ships”.

☆ Bulgaria Joins The World’s Best Manufacturing Countries Rankings

News Analysis: Bulgaria Joins The World’s Best Manufacturing Countries Rankings (thus having a high probability of Economic Global Success for its 7 Million People). Chemical Processing, Machined Products and Equipment, Metals Smelting, and  Petroleum Processing are its Manufacturing Strengths; it is rich in Coal, Copper, Iron, and Lead. Bulgaria allegedly is the World’s Largest Producer of Essential Oils for Perfume Production.

Bulgaria has ample water with over 500 rivers and extensive Nuclear Power Production for Electrical Demands of Manufacturers. 

Most of the Country’s manufacturing is centered around Sofia, its Sophisticated Capital.

Europe’s Fourteenth Largest Country is of 110,994 Km2 (42,855 Mi2) with Sixty-seven Percent of Bulgaria’s Population  being 54 years of age or younger;  good ages for Employment Longevity for Manufacturers.

Many Economists think a 5.9% Production Growth Rate will be applicable for 2014.

The Nation has  Corporate and Personal Income Tax Rates of a mere 10%; Very Wise for Good Business.

Entrepreneurs as well as Investors should well-consider Bulgaria for Business Activities.

☆ America’s Current Long Term Unemployment, As Viewed Since 1950, Is “Graphic”

News Analysis: America’s Current Long Term Unemployment, as viewed since 1950, is Graphic as well as Pathetic. Apparently, the U.S. White House and its Mass Media Minions are either Unaware of the Disgusting Level of Americans Unemployed or are in Conscious Denial for Political Reasons. The Ennui created for Americans by a Pathetic Leadership (without the benefit of a Teleprompter for guidance) is growing. One of the Fundamental Problems in Poor Leadership is the fact that “Attorneys, Bankers, and Career Politicians (ABC’s) are guiding this “Rudderless Ship, the U.S. Government”.

Since World Trade Agreements signed by U.S. Presidents benefitted others, NOT AMERICANS, the jobs in the United States went elsewhere. Now, at least one former President has been benefitting handsomely by Foreign Entities, for his earlier Transgressions.

The ‘ABC’s’ in Washington will continue to hurt Americans while they personally benefit themselves; so goes ‘Self-Interest’.

☆ Reported Cracks In Commercial New Composite Airliner Wings Are Apparently “No Problem”?

News Analysis: Vested interests reporting about Cracks In Commercial New Composite Airliner Wings are apparently of ‘No Problem’ (to those who want to make sure the Stock Price does not fall). The aloof attitude shown evidences their Complete Incomprehension of the Technical Physics at work stressing the Composite Wings. If cracks are seen on new Wings prior to assembly, what will happen when those Same Wings are Stressed in Flight in Frigid Temperatures at Cruise Altitude?

Predictable Metal Wings (with Many Decades of Commercial Airline Experience) can have cracks in them of various natures and locations.  What can Airlines expect of Carbon/Carbon Composites with next to NO History in Entire Commercial Airline Applications?  

Airlines trying to save money by having Aircraft which burn less fuel is laudable; the Problem is in the Execution in trying to do so. Their hopeful savings may end up being of extreme cost by having gone down the Carbon/Carbon Composite Aircraft Road.

One Thing is for CERTAIN: In Aviation, “Flight” Will ‘Always and in All Ways’ Demonstrate the Folly of Incorrect Design Assumptions, Erroneous Material Selections, and/or Flawed Manufacturing Procedures.

“Time” is “Flight’s” Co-Conspirator in demonstrating Aviation Engineering Ignorance.

☆ Money Laundering Always Leaves Residues For Forensic Accountants To Find

News Analysis: Money Laundering Always Leaves Residues For Forensic Accountants To Find as the Illicit Sources of Funds are ‘Decipherable’. Tax Authorities around the Globe are increasingly finding more Money “Stashes” than ever before. It appears there are NO Countries in which Money Laundering is not occurring. Since taxes are not collected on the ‘Gains’, Nations lose out.

As Legitimate Leaders of Countries decide that Strict Punishment for the Miscreants is the only effective way to stop “Laundering”, Enthusiasm for Secreting Funds will diminish: ‘Too Much Pain For Any Gain’ may be the ‘Sneaks’ thoughts.

Furthermore, if a Nation considers the more Serious Matter of  “Tax Evasion” to be equated to “Economic Treason” to it, more Stern Punishments are needed. These will influence all but the most Recalcitrant Crooks to  pay what they owe AND to forgo their Illegal Behaviors. For those too stubborn to change their ways, their Removals from Society is “Just Deserts”.

There is no substitute for Everyone on the Globe to “Fly Straight”.

Fiji Farmers Learn To Grow Sugar Cane, Not Weeds

News Analysis: Fiji Farmers Learn To Grow Sugar Cane, Not Weeds since weeds are very deleterious to Sugar Cane growth. Since World-Wide production of Sugar Cane averages

a  yield of approximately 70+ tons per Hectare (28+ tons per Acre) hence, gaining maximum benefit by reducing Pests and Diseases is essential for high crop yields.

Fiji has abundant sunshine and rain so it is worthy of good crop production. As Fijians have learned over the years, Pesticides used properly can eradicate Pests so Sugar Cane Plants flourish.

Sugar Cane is a marvelous plant with many various benefits for Humanity beyond being a mere Sweetener.

☆ Greek Olive Oil, Being Sold In A Diluted Concoction With Lesser Oils, Is As Heretical A Proposal Against Fine Quality As Is Selling A Rolls Royce Automobile Constructed Of Plastic Parts

News Analysis: Perhaps those with Anti-Hellenic Motives have made the “Objective Economic Suggestion” of  Greek Olive Oil, being Sold In A Diluted Concoction With Lesser Oils. However, it is As Heretical A Proposal Against Fine Quality As Is Selling A Rolls Royce Automobile Constructed Of Plastic Parts.

Greece has World Renown for its excellent Kalamata Olive Oil, the “Finest of the Fine” for Bouquet, Nutrition, and Taste in Olea europaea Production. The European Union restricts naming “Kalamata” Olives to those grown around Kalamata, Greece.

It would be “Marketing Suicide” to dilute the ‘Label’ in ANY MANNER. Subsequent to any dilution would be the terrible task of educating the World to the ‘Lesser Product’ (which would reduce the Stature of Kalamata Olive Oil. A ‘Task for Sisyphus’ would be to re-gain the Prestige of Kalamata Olive Oil; no small task (once lost, never to return). A Great Reputation which took Years to develop can be Ruined by Fools in a few Days.

Greeks should spend their efforts in increased World Marketing of their “Nutritional Gold” so the people of the Globe get to enjoy the Kalamata Product as well as the Greeks have for Centuries.

Dilution of Kalamata Olive Products Quality = Mia kaki idea.
