He said his Hangzhou-based Alibaba already has on its site a large number of small Indian businesses selling goods from spices and chocolates to tea to more than 400,000 Chinese customers. He forecast more Indian goods would be sold on his Chinese site as his exchanges with India picked up. The 50-year-old executive chairman of Alibaba said there was huge scope for "mutual engagement" in technology between India and China and that it could "change (the) lives" of many small businesses. "I was a teacher earlier and the Internet changed my life. Right free now is a wonderful time for businesses in India and China to work together," he said. http://gadgets.ndtv.com/internet/news/alibaba-founder-jack-ma-pledges-more-investment-in-india-626150
More Clarity Required on Juncker’s Investment Announcement - Carthy | Sinn Féin
Carthy said: While I welcome any proposals for Investment at a European Level, I am firmly of the view that an Investment Plan will only work if there is a simultaneous rejection of the Austerity policies which have devastated domestic economies across Europe and prolonged the recession. Todays announcement was scant on detail as to how this fund will work in practice and particularly, how peripheral economies such as Ireland will be in a position to benefit from such a fund. There is a genuine concern expressed by many that todays announcement is nothing more than the latest instalment in a three card accounting trick and it very much remains to be seen if the Investment Plan announced today will provide the genuine stimulus required to create jobs and stimulate investment across the European Union. The announcement was very much a case of style over substance and I will be monitoring the implementation of this plan very closely in order to ensure that any Investment Package provides a genuine benefit to citizens.

Ein weiterer nicht zu unterschatzender Aspekt ist die erstaunliche Fahigkeit der amerikanischen Unternehmen, ihre Gewinne zu behaupten und auszubauen, ihr Kapital effektiv einzusetzen und mithilfe neuer Technologien den Gewinn auf das eingesetzte Kapital zu steigern. Anders als im vergangenen Jahrzehnt stehen wir aktuell am Beginn einer Starkephase des Greenback. Vor einigen Monaten hat sein Hohenflug begonnen, der noch eine ganze Weile anhalten und die amerikanische Wahrung auf ein deutlich hoheres Niveau treiben durfte. Das wird US-Anleger dazu bringen, ihr Kapital aus dem Ausland abzuziehen und es wie in den 90er Jahren in heimische Vermogenswerte anzulegen. Ganz konkret durfte die Umkehr dreier zentraler Faktoren, die in den vergangenen Jahren den US-Dollar geschwacht hatten, nun seinen Hohenflug befeuern. Erstens: Die USA sind dank Schieferol und -gas auf dem besten Weg, in den nachsten Jahren in punkto Energie zum Selbstversorger zu werden. http://www.dasinvestment.com/der-fonds/news/datum/2014/11/26/boerse-usa-wachstum-ohne-grenzen-oder-zurueck-zur-normalitaet/
