Brent Pierce talks about the Importance of a Financial Analysis
For a start-up company, a financial analysis will help you lay out just how well your business plan is going to work or is currently working in the competitive market. The goal is to acquire investors and make a profit so your business can establish itself among businesses related to your product or service. A financial analysis is designed to take a thorough look at your expenses verses your revenue related to your business. This will help you understand your financial situation and if your business is going to be successful. Acquiring Investors People decide to invest in a business because they trust that business to give them the results they desire. If your business is not financially stable, potential investors will stay clear of your business and choose one of your competitors. Since start-up companies are not as established as other more popular companies, it is crucial that you have a financial analysis performed for your business. If there is a flaw in the financial aspect of your business plan, action can be taken to fix the problem before it becomes a serious problem for you. Success of Your Business The financial situation of your business is directly related to how successful it will be. If you are unaware of how much you are spending in relation to how much you plan to make, a financial analysis will help you make educated financial decisions about your business. Since it is just starting out, it is important to have a financial plan right from the start to make sure you are gaining enough revenue to not only cover business expenses but to pay yourself and other staff.

The Russian Economy
The Origins of the System
2014-05-12
The U.S.S.R. was fortunate to begin when it did. Starting with the Russian Revolution in 1917, its leaders capitalized on a national discontent with the Russian monarchy to institute a political system which was supposed to be more responsive to the people. In essentially removing private enterprise, people were to be equals, with no classes to keep people down while allowing others to accumulate wealth.

In the past decades, China has risen as a giant of manufacturing as more and more foreign businesses moved their factories in favor of more relaxed labor laws. As a result, many ethical issues have come to light as an increasing number of reports highlighting the deplorable working conditions in the factories of China. Attention has been especially drawn in the past couple of years to the labor rights violations of electronics and technology companies who have committed some especially egregious abuses such as dangerous working conditions, inadequate pay, and multiple hours of uncompensated overtime. The primary culprits: Apple, Samsung, IBM, Dell, and other household names.

The Subject of Gold
2014-05-20
As a technical foundation, here's what the average person should know about gold - the element: gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (which come from the Latin: aurum “gold”). It has been a highly sought-after precious metal for coinage, jewelry, and other arts since the beginning of recorded history. As a native metal it occurs as nuggets or grains in rocks, in veins or vein structures and in alluvial deposits. Much less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, usually with tellurium. As metals go, gold is very dense, soft, shiny and the most malleable and ductile pure metal known to man. Pure gold has a bright yellow color and luster traditionally considered attractive, which it maintains without oxidizing in air or water.
