Gloomy consumer confidence halts market rally
by Ednathan Thadeu Andrada
nathanandrada.wordpress.com
The cat is out and the Federal Reserve did lower short-term interest rates by 50 basis points. It also provided a bleak view of the economy that pulled down the major stock indexes in the US. After yesterday’s record surge that saw the Dow, the NASDAQ, and the S&P 500 all rise, the news became a bit of a reality check which dampened the mood of the investment community leading to the sell-off.
The Fed is certainly very much concerned with the plunging consumer confidence that has hit its lowest level since the mid 1970s during the oil crisis. In other words, people are cutting back on spending especially on high ticket items like cars and appliances. Fears over job security because of the credit crisis make people take a second look on the items they purchase and that hurts the profit expectations of companies. Companies on the other hand, continue to slash jobs in order to keep afloat. Huge layoffs by companies, like the one by auto giant General Motors, is one of the more vivid demonstration of how the Wall Street crisis has affected Main Street.
Meanwhile, many of those jobs are fast migrating abroad like here in the Philippines. Just as China are taking over US manufacturing jobs, the Philippines have been getting many of the services jobs of American companies as we have seen the explosion of the call center industry here in the last decade. This has boosted consumer spending here especially in the urban centers where these call centers are operating. But it is interesting to see whether the slowdown in the US will have any effect to the flow of services jobs here. Many of the client pool of these call centers incidentally belong to the financial sector, which has been badly hit by the crisis like the now-bankrupt Washington Mutual.
Liverpool stay in top with 1-0 win over Pompey
Early this morning when I was preparing to go to work, I opened the TV to watch the latest in Wall Street but was surprised to see Barclays Premier League games on ESPN and Star Sports. I did not catch SportsCenter last night but I did check out the TV listings on ESPN’s website yesterday and found there were no BPL games on schedule.
Still, I was a bit disappointed that the Liverpool-Portsmouth game was never covered but I did see Arsenal went ahead 4-2 against Spurs after a massive Emmanuel Adebayor goal. Amazingly, when I checked the results just a few minutes ago on the web, Tottenham managed to grab a point at the Emirates as the scoreline ended 4-4. No doubt that the Houdini has really made a positive difference in that club.
Earlier, I was concerned that Liverpool might lose two points or worse will be beaten by Pompey with the match still scoreless at the half while the rest of the Big Four already hacking up a double in their respective fixtures. But Captain Marvelous Steven Gerrard made a goal 15 minutes left that proved to be the winner. That kept the Reds a full game ahead of Chelsea and 8 points top of Manchester United.
This is a good sign for Liverpool despite missing their top striker Fernando Torres. They are not burning the back of the net like the rest of the Big Four but they are getting the job done. And that is what matters. Incidentally, they will be up against the resurgent Spurs in the weekend in an interesting match up of two clubs that have so much to prove.

Methane and Nitrogen Triflouride: The Greenhouse Ghosts
Man-made greenhouse is the big haunted house that scares its creator. Greenhouse for gardening system was built to confuse and then evolve to greenhouse effect to keep humans in its unending worries of existence. Although the terms “greenhouse” and “greenhouse effect” operate on different mechanism, it has a similar function of heat trapping through infrared absorbing gases. And with the greenhouse gases present in the atmosphere, it keep hounding humans instead of providing a life-giving shield to all living things. Read more @ Pinoy Barking Hall
