Coal Ship Runs Aground Leaking Oil In Great Barrier Reef

Posted on April 5, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Coal ship carrying 950 tons of oil hits the Great Barrier Reef at full speed. Small patches of oil have been seen so far Sunday, but no major leaks apparently. The ship was heading to China, and ran aground off from the shipping lane? What they were doing there is beyond me. Perhaps now Australia will toughen the regulations for ships passing through the area. The Great Barrier Reef, one of the most revered natural wonders, is very susceptible to environmental disasters. Let's hope the ship doesn't continue breaking apart and a disaster is averted. added by: webturtle0

Red Chips vs. Blue Chips: Mega Cap China and U.S. ETFs Head-to-Head

Posted on March 29, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Michael Johnston submits: From an investment perspective, the U.S. has historically been the dog and the rest of the world the tail. Global equity markets have taken their cues from Wall Street, and economic developments in the U.S have rippled throughout the world. The U.S. remains a very important part of the global economy, but the last few years have seen a meteoric rise of emerging markets, the new drivers of global economic growth. China in particular has become a critical economy to watch, as evidenced by the intense focus of investors on the government’s plans for unwinding the stimulus plan. While both the U.S. and Chinese economies offer numerous investment options, most investors tend to gravitate towards large firms with established track records. Two of the most popular ways to access these markets are with the Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF ( DIA ) and iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index Fund ( FXI ) representing the “blue chips” and “red chips” respectively.
