prices are going UP!

Reading a Time magazine Article, Which stated Prices are going up! Its starts out how a stay at home mother is starting to scream about Food prices rising. Many prices are rising due to the fact that oil is going up causing gas to rise then transportation gets more expensive. When will they be to high before we can sustain a normal life style? As many of you know I drive a yellow Smart car which is TINY and great in gas, but it is very impractical for a family with kids and a dog. So many people won't drive them, as a result what will they drive? But it will take very high gas prices before we change our behavior! It will interesting to see what happens to see when gas gets to $5 a gallon will we all be driving or walking? http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,842702,00.html

Responding to Chris Belands Facebook IPO

In my opinion the face book IPO will do very well, its a huge market and so many people world wide use face book. I don't think its alright that people can buy stocks before there on the market. But face book will do very well with stocks to see to the public. No different than Apple Inc, its an nitch market they have great products and are able to really get people sold on Apple. Its a high end piece of equipment. Face book is a nitch market and its excelling in this market and will do very well.

Kraft Attempting to Rebrand International Image responding to Chris Belands

Its amazing to see how Kraft is wanting to change its international name after all these years. Its in every house hold around the world. There know for the Mac and Cheese made in seconds. I'm not exactly proud of them changing there name, you say Kraft and everyone knows exactly what your talking about. MAC AND CHEESE. So I think that its going to be hard for many people around the world to move to another name that is as common as Kraft. I don't think its going to work.

Buy Local gains Traction!!

Many people who spend money need to know where to spend it. Also where they spend there money matters to many local businesses! In these hard economic times many small businesses have closed there doors, and the ones that can remain open are pulling together to try and gain "A local movement" Many are trying to get everyday shoppers away from the chain stores, where the lower prices and connivence are key. Would you shop Locally in Keene? Do you already?http://www.nuwireinvestor.com/articles/buy-local-movement-gains-traction-58355.aspx

Responding to Aislynn Sherry's ESPN for women.

I think ESPNW is hitting the right age, 25 +. This  is a good start it will be a growing trend as more and more women get into watching this channel. Over time there will be more, or even a separate channel for women sports. Its a great idea in my opinion it will have a lot of progress as sponsors get into it and make the channel stronger. Its good. Im surprised this didn't happen sooner.

Nissan looks at Target Market for new Datsun brand.

Nissan is revamping the Datsun brand under Nissan, they are up against intense competition with other Japanese motor companies such as Honda and Toyota. The New Datsun models will be tailored to people as stated "The offerings will be tailored for each market, including price and engine size, targeting the burgeoning market of first-time car buyers in countries such as India, Indonesia and Russia, where Datsun will be introduced from 2014, he said". So they are looking to brake into other markets and sell an affordable car for the first time car buyer in other countries. It seems be a great idea. Datsun was around the United States for a while in the 1960's until they changed the name and became Nissan. Nissan is a striving brand over here in the United States today. The Target market for Nissan is the younger traveling families whether they like a SUV, Van, Truck or cross over it satisfies all types. The Nissan Leaf is for those who want to conserve also. So Nissan and its sub brand Datsun have covered alot of ground over the years and plan to cover even more in other countries under Datsun. Would you buy a Nissan? Do you like the models they offer?  Are you part of there target market?
