BP Takes Hit Amid High Oil Prices; 4 Indicted

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

BP PLC, the global energy conglomerate, got busted for several civil and criminal charges.  Four ex-employees were indicted for illicit trading schemes.

Global energy giant BP PLC agreed Thursday to pay $373 million to settle criminal and civil charges that it overcharged U.S. propane consumers by millions of dollars and ignored environmental warnings that resulted in an Alaska oil spill and a deadly explosion in Texas.

Additionally, a federal grand jury in Chicago indicted four former BP traders who were caught on tape discussing an alleged scheme to pump up profits by cornering the propane markets.  Read more here.

I feel sorry for people who have BP stock.  It is definitley taking a big hit.  I don’t usually invest in big companies like BP, because if the stock is going to have double figure anythings, it’s going to be losses after a scandal like this.  I usually like to put my chances for double digit growth on companies from stock picking services like Gorilla Trades.

Stocks Close Lower Because (Surprise) Credit and Oil Price Worries

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Well, Wall Street closed Thrusday with a decrease - what a surprise.  Every time the market goes down, it’s the same thing; investors are worried about the credit crunch, yada, yada, yada.

Wall Street closed slightly lower in erratic trading Thursday as investors uneasy about the credit markets and record-high oil prices took little solace from reports on new home sales and durable goods orders.

Read more here.

This is why it is important to diversify your portfolio.  My portfolio on the online stock picking service Gorilla Trades, had a few losers, but it was still up overall today.  Diversification is huge; if one sector takes a hit, another usually rebounds so it tends to at least even out.

More Good News From Microsoft

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

The software giant boosted its brand and stock by posting a better-than-forecasted third quarter profit.

Microsoft Corp (NasdaqGS:MSFT - News) posted a rise in quarterly profit on Thursday, boosted by healthy demand for personal computers loaded with its Windows operating system and strong sales of its “Halo 3″ video game.

The world’s largest software maker said net profit in its fiscal first quarter totaled $4.29 billion, or 45 cents per diluted share, versus $3.48 billion, or 35 cents per diluted share, a year earlier. Read more here.

4 billion dollars in three months. That is a pretty average quarter for me. I really need to come up with some sweet invention like Windows. Or some proprietary stock picking software, like that of Gorilla Trades. Maybe if came up with something like that i wouldn’t have to be sitting at this cubicle.

Venture Capital Can Help Boost Your Marketing Budget

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Many new start up companies have a very limited marketing budget.  This can spell disaster for new companies, because in order to be successful you need to get your name and brand out there in front of people’s eyes and ears.  While there are many ways to secure capital for your start up, they may not apply to all businesses.  Among the possible capital generators is that of venture capital.

VC is a great way to raise some extra money for your business, which then can be used to pump up your marketing budget.  Venture capital firms, like Arthur Trueger’s BerkeleyVC, are good examples of companies who have helped many start ups, epecially tech related, gain their feet and have a real chance in their industry.
