Diane Alter – AHN News Reporter
New York, NY, United States (AHN) – Stocks were little changed on the open Tuesday as traders and investors continue to keep a cautious eye on the ongoing European sovereign debt crisis. Just before 10 a.m., the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 30 points, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was flat and the NASDAQ gained about 2 points. Keeping investors jittery and on the sidelines was a downgrade warning from S&P issued late Monday for the European region.The U.S. credit rating agency put 15 eurozone states, including Germany and France, on credit watch. The credit watch decision by S&P brought mixed reaction across Europe on Tuesday. However, the general agreement was that the warning would step up pressure for a comprehensive deal at Friday’s European Union summit. Stocks [...] Continue Reading…

The Media Line Staff
Cairo, Egypt (The Media Line) – Europe’s seemingly intractable financial crisis is threatening to make itself felt across the Mediterranean in the economies of North Africa that can least afford another blow, economists say. Struggling to recover from the chaos and uncertainty of the Arab Spring, Egypt and the other economies of North Africa now face new troubles as Europe’s debt woes threaten to hurt exports and investments. By contrast, the Gulf economies, which have largely been spared the upheavals of the Arab Spring, are enjoying growing oil revenues that insulate them from Europe’s problems. “North Africa, which has had to resolve many of the issues raised by the so-called Arab Spring, now has something else to contend with,” Daniel Broby, chief investment officer for London-based Silk Investment, told The Media Line. “Growth is [...] Continue Reading…

Blue Shield Of California Sets Profit Cap Other Insurers May Not Imitate

June 9 2011 by admin in commodity |No Comments

Sacramento, CA, United States (KaiserHealth) – Blue Shield of California’s surprising announcement that it will cap profits at 2 percent and issue millions in policyholder refunds sparked hopes that other health insurers would follow suit, but many experts said yesterday that was unlikely. The company, which made the announcement Tuesday, is better positioned than most to make that move. For one thing, as a nonprofit, it has more leeway to cap profits than its for-profit cousins who have to meet Wall Street earnings targets, says Peter Kongstvedt, a managed care consultant in McLean, Va. The insurer, a major force in the California market with more than 3 million policyholders, also has substantial reserves and posted a profit margin of 3.1 percent last year, including income derived from its investments. That’s more than the typical 2 percent [...] Continue Reading…

Kris Alingod – AHN News Contributor
Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States (AHN) – Dollar Thrifty on Monday said it had told shareholders to reject an offer from Hertz for $72 for all outstanding shares.

Jerusalem, Israel Arieh O’Sullivan – It looked as if someone had broken into the central casting wardrobe room and handed out the jalabiyas and kaffiyyehs marked “Arab sheiks” to the two dozen unshaven men lounging on a grassy knoll, puffing on water pipes and looking bored. A large, blue United Nations flag flutters in the wind. Suddenly, a group of young men, faces hidden by masks, rushes into the compound shouting “Allahu akbar” and the shooting begins. Out from under the robes of the “sheiks” come automatic weapons, as they spring into action. One man, a suicide belt strapped to his body, moves forward, his hands clenching two grenades. Two of the men in robes fly at him and wrestle him to the ground, knees in his back, as they disarmed him. It looks [...] Continue Reading…

May 28 2011 by admin in commodity |No Comments

Tom Ramstack – AHN News Legal Correspondent
Washington, D.C., United States (AHN) – Leaders of the Latin American and U.S. Hispanic communities continued sharp criticisms Friday against a Supreme Court decision that upholds a tough state law against illegal immigration. They say the ruling on Thursday will lead to discrimination against Hispanic people. The Arizona law empowers local police to shut down any business that knowingly hires illegal immigrants. The Supreme Court ruling is expected to encourage other states to enact similar laws to ensure employees are Americans. The Obama administration opposed the Arizona law, saying the state was authorizing itself to set immigration policy that the Constitution reserves to the federal government. The Supreme Court said Arizona was not setting a new immigration policy, merely enforcing the federal laws that already exist. “Arizona [...] Continue Reading…
