Since few weeks know , the whole world trembles from the threat of a virus that came from mexico , who knew that there will come a day when everyone will no more care about the economic crisis .

Some say this virus is so dangerous that it’s going to irradiate human race from earth, while others Pretend that it’s just a big buzz created by some pharmaceutical companies to boost their sales

Because imagine if a dose of antidote costs 100$ , if you multiply it by 6 billion humans i think you can imagine how much money they can make .

But let’s stay away from these prejudices, and let’s talk a bit about this virus ,its symptoms and how to avoid it :

Influenza A (H1N1) commonly known as swine flu is a virus that infects pigs and which is not new because this virus has appeared several times before .

But what’s new now ?
This intelligent virus can now be transmitted from pigs to humans , this aspect of the virus is not common but very dangerous , however cooked pork presents no risk of infection.

People who work with pigs, are at risk of catching swine flu, but once a person gets it , it’s all the people surrounding him that become in danger .

So How can I protect myself against influenza A :
* Avoid close contact with people who do not seem healthy or have a fever and a cough.
* Wash your hands with soap and water frequently and thoroughly.
* Get enough sleep, eat properly and practice sport .

And what should I do if I suspect that a person at home is sick ?
* Try to find a place at home where he can stay far from the other occupants and try to maintain a distance of at least one meter from the infected person.
* Cover your nose and mouth when you deal with the sick person.
* Wear medical masks .
* Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after any contact with the sick person.
* Try to ventilate the area where the sick person is . Open the doors and windows so the air can circulate .
* Keep the environment clean by using household products.

What if I think I have contracted the flu A(H1N1)?If you do not feel well, have a high fever, of cough and / or a sore throat:

This is a typically human strategy , because before investing , a person analyzes the situation , and needs to feel that this investment is worth it , that the money that person is going to spend , will produce benefits.

But also we have to take into consideration the fact that , if we don’t take the opportunity , we may never change the situation we’re living in .

This is why i really think that instead of taking this economic crisis as a time to freeze your money , you should invest in some fields that sooner or later will regain their previous value ,like what Warren Buffet said , a quote that you really should take into consideration :

Be Greedy When Others Are Fearful.

So the question is ,in these circumstances what are the best fields to invest in ?

Housing

As we all know the economic crisis has terribly affected real estate , a situation that made house prices so low, that their owners want to get rid of at any price ,so in case you have some saved money ,why don’t you take the opportunity and buy 4 our 5 houses, all Specialists in the economic field affirm that soon the houses will regain the value they used to have before the economic crisis.

Start your company

Yes,it’s one of the things that you really should think about, in these circumstances, you’ll have to pay less taxes ,unemployment is everywhere, so you can get high qualified workers for nothing .
also as you have for sure noticed that big monopolizing companies like general motors are losing their supremacy , and this may be an occasion for new companies and other starting enterprises to share the market and have new opportunities to sell their products .

I nnovation

Since always , the united states has built its fortune from innovation , discoveries , and research, so if you have something new, original , that you think may create wealth , it’s a golden opportunity that you have here.all the market is yours ,the world needs something new , and the new thing can be your product , so instead of just sitting there waiting for the economic crisis to end , take advantages from this situation

And one of the companies that the news keep on talking about, and one of the companies that  if by misfortune ,eventually go bankrupt, it’s all the economy of the united states that will collapse because companies like these are pillars of the whole Economy of a country

Let’s know about :

GM , the meaning of the word automaker, takes all it’s sense when we talk about General Motors Corporation, which is the second largest automaker in the world , general motor sells cars under several know brands as Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, GM Daewoo, Holden, Hummer, Opel, Pontiac, Saab, Saturn and Vauxhall .

It’s also good to know that before the economic crisis General Motors was the global sales leader for 77 consecutive calendar years from 1931 to 2007.

So let’s first talk a bit about the history of general motors , General Motors was founded on September 27, 1908,by William C.Durant. back then,  General motors held Buick  but soon after It acquired Oldsmobile . In 1909 Durant brought in Cadillac,Elmore, Pontiac and several others brands .and since then General motors’ has become one of the most powerful companies in the world  ,it employs more than 252,000 people around the world .

Okay all this is good , but the thing i don’t understand ,is despite the fact that this company has everything to succeed ,and has everything to keep its place as a world leader in terms of cars production , General Motors is on the verge of Bankruptcy.

Maybe the vertiginous fall that General Motors is facing , is a result of the disastrous management of one man , Rick Wagoner, because since he’s on the head of this company in 2000 , General Motors has lost more than 86 billion dollars , which fullyexplains the condition in which things are currently.

General Motors cars have everything to seduce new buyers from all around the world, it produces world-renowned qualityproducts , but in a very unstable global context , and purchasing power in free fall, will it be able toraise the head again and go back on the road of success ??

tata nano

The Tata nano’s project began in 2003 inspired by the number of Indian families that have motorcycles rather than cars , imagine that the population of india is approximatively 1.5 billion people, and less that 10 % only have cars .

So in a growing country like india, even a blind person could have seen that building a cheap car would be for sure a huge success .

but the idea didn’t not only seduce Indians , it also seduced the whole world, no one can deny that with the economic crisis , we are no more able to buy expensive cars that consumes a lot of gasoline , so this opportunity arrives just at the right moment .

I’ll avoid talking about the technical specifications and other stuff because for 2000$ you know already what you’re going to get, it’s far from being a Lamborghini reventon .

also you have to know that the European version of the nano is a bit more expensive due to the fact that it had to respect the European standards .

the car will be mainly produced in India and will help creating thousands of new job opportunities.

check this video I’ve found on YouTube about the new Tata nano .

Since there is an economic crisis everywhere, companies from all around the world had to be original, and find new ideas that could interest people and make the selling machine work again.

And there is a rule that tells that if you want to sell more, you have the get the right inspiration, in the right time.

And that’s really what happened: D , they used the US election to boost their sales .

Indeed during the 3-4 last months I’ve noticed that the whole world has been invaded by the obamania

a movement that not only inspired the the US elector to vote for Obama and spread the change, it also inspired these companies .

I’ve seen through the net some really original stuff related to the 44th president here are some of them

Clothing :

Hats mugs and watches :

Pillows , aprons , pet bowls , and cards  :

this is totally freaking but as long as this will prevent some companies from closing and give the opportunity to thousans of people to work , i like it .

What can i say about 2008 , it’s a year not like the others , you may ask me why ??? the answer is simple ,A BIG change has come in 2008

Throughout this post I’ll try to talk about some of  the main events that happened in 2008

The US election :

After 8 years of a catastrophic governance , the US felt the need to change the way things were going , and this by electing the first black president of it’s history , making the dream of martin Luther king alive

I have to admit , that not only the US will be affected by this election , but the whole world, especially because the united states is the most powerful economy and military power in the world .
Why is this election so important ?? it’s mainly because after 8 years of bush’s and  condoleezza’s governance , the world has simply changed it’s way of judging the  USA , the war in Afghanistan and Iraq lead by bush , has been the main factor that has made the US no longer being seen as peace keeper , but seen as war maker
But all this is now a part from the past and the whole world hopes that after the election of Barack Obama , things are going to change

The economic crisis :

The second main event of 2008 is for sure, the economic crisis , the explosion of the sub-prime mortgage bubble has been the main reason behind this terrific crisis that has affected all the countries around the world , and lead thousands of companies and banks to bankruptcy ,and millions of people to joblessness , you can read more about the economic crisis here .

For sure we will see the results of this crisis in 2009 and if countries from all around the world do not  gather their power to find a solution to this crisis,the world will be directly going to hit the wall at 407 km/h and no one knows what will be the consequences of this

The raise and fall of the oil barrel’s price :

maybe this is one the main consequences of the economic crisis, the barrel’s price has during 2008 reached a top of 150 $ and then decreased to reach 40 $ which means that the economic crisis has pushed countries to decrease their  consummation of oil , and this is for sure not beneficial for oil producing countries, like KSA .

And a lot of other events that for sure have affected us in a bad or a good way .
