THE INTERNATIONAL VIEW OF THE U.S. ECONOMY
by RaiseCapital.com | Posted on August 4, 2008

With the banking industry in crisis, gas prices at record levels and a depressed real estate and stock market, it is interesting to analyze how our economic problems are being received overseas.  After all, with our enormous trade deficit, many countries rely on US consumers to keep their economy healthy and strong.

This article from Australia paints a gloomy picture of the US auto industry and the US economy in general:

Weak US sales spell gloom for Yamaha:

China sets monetary policy in response to US economic woes:

Some suggest trading out of US Treasury Bonds and into government bonds from EU countries:

The International Monetary Fund, however, sees gradual improvement in the US economy:

The United States remains the largest economy in the world despite the falling dollar and other economic woes.  As such, the fate of the world economy is inexorable tied to Uncle Sam.  The pain we are feeling is being felt everywhere. However, entrepreneurs must stay positive and believe in your dreams.

I own a lighting distributorship, offering retail sales to the general public, wholesale to the trade (architects, designers, and contractors), and lighting design and dimming specialization to commercial and residential remodel and new construction clients in the Pacific Northwest. I have been in business for three years as a distributorship, 12 years as a lighting designer, and have been in this industry for over 20 years. (www.dpalightingfixtures.com) My immediate needs are for cash flow, in order to pay vendors, and sustain my business’ daily needs. Ultimately, in the long term, I want to open a showroom in the Bothell, or Woodinville area, whereby I can provide, not only the services I currently offer, but educational seminars and demonstrations of proper lighting designs, green technology, and to show the advantages of smart home control systems in order to educate designers, architects, contractors, and those in the community, that these techniques can be used residentially and commercially and still provide the light output that is necessary for comfort and reality within the daily schedule, without breaking the budget. LED is a new technology, and is largely unknown amongst the community, let alone those that work in the architectural and design arenas.

With such a tough economy, I am surprised so many people are asking for such high start up funds. It makes me question how many people are legit on here, and not here to just rip off private investors. I'm an at home mom with something to work hard for -- my family! I will do whatever it takes to succeed for them. I am looking to start a home-based and on-location children's photography business. As a social mom, I already have tons of customers waiting! My business has a very low start up cost of only $5,000. I want to do everything digitally so that moms can have edited pictures of their kids the same day! Also, a unique feature of my business is shared rights to the photos so that they can have the photos printed themselves wherever they choose. If you are interested in talking, please email me at sugarsnapphoto@gmail.com Thank you for your time and interest.
