Asia's Economy To Grow 8.2% in 2010

According to the ADB China's economy will grow 8.2% in 2010 and 7.3% in 2011. "This is the fastest that the economy has grown in three years." There are 45 economies on the continent of Asia all of the economies are expected to grow a high percentage due to export and domestic demand in the next two years. In the article they almost compared and contrasted Asia's economy to everyone else's economy. But, also at the sametime they said that the continent of Asia's circumstances also weigh heavily on the continent's future.
In my opinion this article was making a major comparision of the economy of the continent of Asia as a whole to other places around the globe. The article had percentages of the amount of increase that their economy had been seeing. I think that their economy is growing so high mostly because of the major exporting that the continent is doing from all of 45 countries that it contains. I believe that if they didnt have a whole bunch of their goods going out to other countries that their continent as a whole would be in trouble.

Business, The Stock Market and The Autumnal Equinox

 The Autumnal Equinox was given this name because around the equinox the night and day are approximately equally the same amount of time. The definition of stock market is a public market a loose network of economic transactions for the trading of company stock and derivates at an agreed price. In english class we were asked to give three examples as to how the stock market and the autumnal equinox relate. And to describe why its scary for the stock market.
 The Autumnal Equinox is scary for the stock market because it is one of the longer days of the year so that would most likely cause them to work longer hours and to work harder. The second reason would be because in fall they say that the stock market falls when it comes into the Libra sign. This is because the sign of Libra means parties coming together to reach a fair exchange of value. But Last year no one could come to an agreement and the stock market numbers lowered. The third and last reason is alot of the stock traders believe in the different astrological signs and what they mean according to the stock market. Some of these signs bring wealth, some bring bankruptcy. The signs are believed  to be powerful, more powerful than there own abilities to make things happen. So who will you belive and leave your money to when it comes to the stock market the brokers or astrological signs?

The four things that you shouldn't buy at Target article

This article talks about Target in saying what you should and shouldnt buy at Target. The items that the author Elaine Pofeldt said that you should not buy at Target are Furniture because you can find a more affordable price at Ikea for a slightly better quality and cheaper price. The second is movies and music because you can find a cheaper price at Walmart or at Amazon.com. Next is Exercise Equipment the article is stating that they have no good exercise equipment and that you are better off getting high end equipment or go to the gym. And the last item is Shower curtains, some toys and other products with PVC. The reason why they say for you not to buy those products with PVC is because they contain Lead and Polyvinyl Chloride Plastic in its products and packaging.

I can agree with this article I do believe that there are certain products that you should not buy from certain retailers. Some retailers at selling a few specfic things and don't sell well on the other products around the store. But, I feel that article has informed me as a consumer on what I should and should not buy from Target. It has also taught me that I need to research the retailers and the product to see what store has the better product and the cheaper price before I purchase.
