MONEY MASTER

Do you all believe that on Friday the 13th, something bad will happen? I mean, there are so many Friday the 13th, and something bad might eventually happens on one of those days, right? Well, on the last Friday the 13th, something bad really happened. If you all have notice, I have not been serving the Google Ads since Friday the 13th this month. Well, I received an email saying that my adsense account was disabled because I pose risk to the Adwords advertiser.

If the cost of a product increase due to material cost, are you going to priced it lower than the manufactured price? Of course we will pass on the inflation to the consumer, no? Unless business is very very bad, else we definitely will pass on the inflation to the consumer. So in other words, buying business will at ...

Malaysia entering recession......it is one of the headline from Business Times. Below are the details of the news:- MALAYSIA is entering a recession, if it is not in one already, head of RHB Research Lim Chee Sing said. He predicts the economy to shrink 1.5 per cent this year, or possibly worse, depending on the state of development in the US and other bigger economies in the world. At this rate, the recession seems set to be sharper than that in 1985 when gross domestic product (GDP) shrank by 1.2 per cent, but milder than the 7.4 per cent contraction in 1998. "Depending on the definition you use, Malaysia is already in recession, or perhaps, is entering a recession," Lim told reporters during a discussion on the stock market in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. A recession is commonly defined as a decline in the GDP for two or more consecutive quarters. But this definition is unpopular with many economists since it does not take into consideration changes in other variables such as j...
