| Tata Nano car manufacturers to double the production Posted: 17 Jan 2011 10:43 PM PST

According to sources, the company had produced 2,573 cars in the month of December, while the sales figure of the month went up to 5,784 in the same month. Now it is likely that the company might sell 7,000 Nanos in the month of January alone. The boost in the car sales was due to the attractive warranty schemes, easy finance schemes, new features and hardcore ad campaigns across the country. The sales of the car took a dip after there were reports of some cars which caught fire and had put a question on the car's safety. When contacted the company, they said that, the production details are not shared. Tata motors is now trying its best, with the help of ad campaigns focusing more on the design and features than its cost alone. |
| Poll: Americans view China as a threat to economy Posted: 17 Jan 2011 05:14 PM PST
According to a recently conducted poll by the Pew Research Center, almost half of all Americans believe that China is now the world’s leading economic power. (It’s actually No. 2, still far behind the U.S.). This perception is not hard to understand. “Made in America” is not heard much any more and so many goods, from cheap toys to expensive laptop computers, carry the “made in China” label. Some U.S. politicians and manufacturers claim that China’s climb is at the expense of the U.S. Chinese President Hu Jintao may be greeted this week with Congressional legislation sponsored by senators like Bob Casey (D-PA). He is drafting legislation that would exact harsh penalties on nations like China that manage their currency in a way that hurts U.S. trade. Critics like Senator Casey assert that China’s currency manipulation keeps Chinese goods in the U.S. artificially cheap, while making U.S. exports to China more expensive. On the flip side, the Chinese are concerned massive purchases of bonds by the US Federal Reserve are keeping interest rates low and creating inflation in China. Caution should be exercised by Congress. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 precipitated the Great Depression. |

In the meantime, my family and I would deeply appreciate respect for our privacy." This news caused Apple stock to go down to seven percent in European exchanges. No reaction yet on the NASDAQ, because today is a national holiday in the U.S. and markets are closed. Tuesday, Apple will announce their quarterly earnings. Questions about Jobs health will certainly be posed by the media during the earning call. |
