What are the key trends related to the “next generation mom” in the Chinese market?

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

I would define the ‘next generation mom’ as one who is a new mom today or would be a mom over the next few years.

What could be the cultural, socioeconomic, political, regional trends affecting the ‘next generation mom’ in China?

"’Next generation mom’ in the Chinese market"?! Are you planning on getting a mail order bride from China?

Market & Trends

it’s funny you asked this question cuz i was thinking to myself yesterday what a viscous market the sandwich business is right now. kinda funny.
subway is falling behind because of jared. people have lost interest inhim and they need to kick him to the curb. but on the bright side, they offer the lunch special at a discounted rate which is an incredible value in today’s lunching market. quizno’s obviously has the lead with hot sandwiches but it’s completely different in terms of sandwiches. also very expensive. togo’s is very competitive however they pissed me off long ago and i do not ever eat there.

Are there any trends in the stock market post-Christmas?

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

Does it usually go up or down? What are some of the factors that feed into these trends?

The January affect is very valid.

This is not my opinion but a statistic, you should see how the first 5-6 days of the new year trade, if the S&P’s first 5 days show a net gain, the remainder of the year will be a bull market, this has been true 86.1% of the time since 1950 when this study began.

10 of the last 14 post-election years followed the direction of the first five days!

Also, every year since 1950 that January showed a net loss for the month, the year was either flat, or a bear market…WITHOUT EXCEPTION!

Again, these are statistics taken straight from the stock trader’s almanac.

The factors that feed into the trends, interest rates, business cycles coming to an end, market pshychology, sentiment being negative or positive, and the overall temperature for business in the economy at the given time, as well as how certain / uncertain business trends look for the next 6-9 months

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Being a media marketing researcher who is looking for the most time effective or time saving ways or methods of sourcing the updates on the Informed Market Intelligence (IMI) and current economic and marketing trends from various industries, I would greatly appreciate it if you could kindly refer me to the right sources of information or perhaps some modern internet marketing strategies and techniques that might be helpful.

I found some of the best information in Forbes and Fortune Magazines. There are also "trade" magazines for the marketing industry which are full of "fluff" but occasionally have a new idea. You can find all at your local library..

Using the Put/Call ratio one can get a feel for the direction of the stock.
Generally higher than 3 is a bearish indicator and less than 0.3 is bullish indicator.

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Today we step back and look at the last 3 days of trading as they have broken both the ascending wedge formation and the megaphone formation to the downside (both are very bearish patterns).

My guess is that we could have started a shorter-term and potentially a longer term top. I outline the channel that people should be eying and the type of trades that we should be looking at. I also look at our 2 short trades that have been working out nicely

According to the current IT market trends which is in more demand Java or .NET?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Its like I am willing to go for a full time course, but I am not able to make a choice between Java or .NET. So Please help me out by telling, out of these which one would be more beneficial to me.

There’s no one good answer for this question. If you asked this on programming forums, flame wars would break out. People that like Java will tell you Java. People that like .NET will tell you .NET. That said, every programming language and platform has its pros and cons, strengths and weaknesses.

I’ve never worked with .NET and have done some Java. Let that be a warning to you for my bias.

Both Java and .NET platforms are widespread. If you don’t mind working on microsoft only platforms, then .NET would probably be the way to go. Java is also deployed on enterprise linux setups, as well as mobile platforms.

As a programmer, with Java as a first language isn’t much better or worse than learning .NET as your first language. However, know that if you want to get better, you’ll have to learn other languages after that, such as C, C++, Ruby, Erlang, Haskell, Python, Lua, Smalltalk, and Lisp. Every language is good at something, and will have concepts that will open your eyes to programming that just knowing one language can’t show you.
