The euro was generally stronger on Friday, as US stocks rebounded following comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
While the nation’s top central banker provided no specifics, he said the Federal Reserve stands ready to provide further stimulus if the economic situation deteriorates rapidly.
The US economic recovery has petered out in the last few quarters amid lingering problems in the jobs market.
The government downwardly revised its estimate for second quarter GDP growth to 1.6% from an initial reading of 2.4%. Still, the downward revision was less severe than feared, giving stocks a shot in the arm.
The euro rose to a weekly high $1.2778 versus the dollar, staying well away from June’s 4-year low of $1.1805.
Against the resurgent yen, the euro rallied away from a recent 9-year low, touching a weekly high of Y108.72.
Japan’s Prime Minister Naoto Kan said on Friday that officials will take bold steps when necessary to address excessive volatility in the currency market. He also put pressure on the Bank of Japan to step up new measures to address deflation.
Meanwhile in the US, Bernanke acknowledged that economic activity has been “somewhat less vigorous” than policymakers were expecting.
“The task of economic recovery and repair remains far from complete…. growth during the past year has been too slow and joblessness remains too high,” Bernanke told an annual gathering of fellow central bankers and noted economists in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
I have noticed that over the course of creating a relationship with real estate owners, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every real estate contract, a payment is paid. All things considered, FSBO sellers do not “save” the fee. Rather, they struggle to win the commission by doing a strong agent’s occupation. In the process, they expend their money along with time to complete, as best they might, the obligations of an real estate agent. Those obligations include getting known the home by way of marketing, offering the home to buyers, creating a sense of buyer desperation in order to trigger an offer, scheduling home inspections, controlling qualification checks with the loan company, supervising maintenance tasks, and assisting the closing.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
