Gas Price Rollback Again! Hooray!

More price rollbacks! More FUN! ^_^

Oil giants Shell, PETRON, Chevron, Total and Eastern had their prices rolled back this morning. This new price decrease is a new addition to this month’s expected cheaper prices in Diesel fuel which was just announce over public radio this side of the world.

Eastern Petroleum spearheaded the price decrease which too effect about 6 PM of January 15, 2009 with about 50 cents per liter rollback on all their products. Shell, PETRON and Chevron on the other hand will be doing the same deed come midnight of January 16, 2009 in diesel and kerosene products only. Total will be pushing with their own version tomorrow morning at 6 AM for each liter of Gasoline, Diesel and Kerosene. LPG prices at this hour are still affected by supposed lack of supply or hoarding. This huge controversy was being dealt with even as Energy Czar Angelo Reyes commanded the big corporations to tone down prices on Liquefied Petroleum Gas. I hope everyone’s happy cruising in EDSA!

How about a nice FORD Escape!

I got a friend working for Ford Motors Philippines that kept bugging me and my office mates to buy a car from the shop. The deal wasn’t bad though, but of course Ford Machinery in this side of the world is still hundreds of thousands of pesos more expensive than the other brands. There are particular models though that did not disappoint me and got my approval like the New Ford Escape. With the whole machismo of bare metal in and around the car, I am impressed with its lines and power. That’s all I ever ask for in cars anyway and I’m thinking of changing our van for this one. If the offer gets lower in the coming months then I’d probably be considering this particular model hands down.

If you plan to buy a car in the UK like my brother did in Eire then don’t hesitate to check out prices and details at http://www.buyyourcar.co.uk. They've got the best deals in town! Soon everyone will have that Ford vehicle they wish for.

Steve Jobs goes Bye Bye Apple Inc.!

Steve Jobs just made people's nightmares a reality this week when he announced he's leaving Apple. During the past week he has learned that his health-related issues are more complex than he originally thought. This particular move sent shares plunging in wall street which forced the market to stop the run for their stock selling yesterday morning. This is pretty bad news for Apple investors.

The economic crisis did not help either because most technology shares went down scaring most investors in the worst showing of Apple Incorporated. Steve however braved news stands late afternoon announcing that he will not be just leaving them all behind and will still be part of major decisions of the company. Rumors surrounding Steve Jobs quitting his post contain news of health and major hormonal imbalance scares. He is a giant, a legendary out-of-the-box thinker with amazing taste. I hope one day I get to meet him because its hard to even imagine the company without him announcing their products. They have a lot of people that can do the job though.

The Need to Consider Factoring

It has been hard these past few months for companies while they weather the US financial crisis. This has stricken not just the United States but the whole world as well. Getting much needed help in times like these is hard and the rates for loans are enormous. There must be something else they can do.

The market has not been that nice to European countries also. It almost put Iceland and Finland in the state of bankruptcy. This has been a pretty tough year for the Eastern European states as well because of the lack of Oil and Natural Gas from Russia. They are now facing a crisis and experiencing the deep cold winter. I hope they get to resolve this soon enough.

While businesses are in the midst of tight situations, they should have grabbed the opportunity in factoring receivables. If they have too much funding designated in their accounts receivables, they will face a huge problem in keeping the ball rolling. Re-financing would take time if they apply for other major loans and it would not be that big either because of their current situation. By going through the option of the factoring business, their company can immediately receive cash for accounts receivable instead of waiting a month or so for customers to pay.
