It is an indicator I have used for much of my emini trading career, so you could say we have a fairly intimate relationship. In my trading, I have found the MACD to be...more
Never let it be said that America cannot adapt to changing circumstance. After 18 months of recession (and three months of growth purchased wholly with borrowed and invented money), and with official unemployment slated to remain at roughly 10% for the foreseeable future (and unofficial unemployment somewhere closer to 20%), three iconic marketing giants have stepped up to the plate, squinted steely-eyed at the pitcher, and swung for the fences.The first batter in the box (and yes, I was up waaaay too late last night watching the Yankees drub the Phillies in the last game of the World Series) is Dallas-based 7-Eleven Inc. Senior merchandising and logistics VP Kevin Elliott figures that the consumer is really pinched as far as discretionary income. Hes been seeing a lot of success with products that really resonate on a value basis, like the store-branded 7-Select beef jerky line the chain introduced last year.Your Most Basic Post-Crash NeedsSo now 7-Eleven is launching a new wine label: Yosemite Road.

Adoption is a phenomenon that brings joy in the lives of two groups of people. The first are those who need a family to live and second are those who cannot conceive a baby. Both the groups can get their wishes fulfilled with the help of this legal procedure. As this is a legal procedure, there is going to be a lawyer present in the scene, who is supposed to take care of all the necessary things that need to be done in order for the parents adopting the child to get full rights to the kid. Under the current procedure, the person adopting has to file a request in the court. This request has to be combined with all the details about the child under question with items like the birth certificate etc. It needs to be specified whether the child is legally allowed to be adopted which happens only when he/she is found to be an orphan. Since the adoption lawyers knows all the legalities, he can make the whole deal a lot easier compared to the adopting couple doing it on their own. They prove to be a huge advantage to those who are new to the whole legal process and do not know the knowhow of the judicial system.After all the documentation has been done, the child is legally administered to...more
