  • The Glenn Beck School of Investing
    Should you take investment advice from Glenn Beck? - MSN Money 12/11/12 11:44 PM Bing Money Make msn.com your home page Extra 8/25/2010 7:00 PM ET The Glenn Beck school of investing Conservative talk-show host Glenn Beck doesn't claim to be a money expert, but he does dispense a lot of financial advice. Are gold and seeds good places to put your cash? [Related content: gold, economy, Treasury, financial planning, politics] By Karen Aho MSN Money Glenn Beck likes to worry, and one of the things he's worried about is your money. Leading conservative talk-radio hosts As the conservative talk-show host sees it, progressives are wrapping up a decades-long plot to supplant the capitalist system with a godless, Marxist state, one where entrepreneurship, stock prices -- in fact, your entire financial future -- may as well be in a coma. If that's not enough, there's rising debt and inflation to worry about, along with natural disasters, social programs and terrorist attacks. Sometimes, Beck worries himself to tears. Find a broker and start trading online Although there's a lot of fun to be had mocking the radio and television personality's on-air theatrics (Beck gets into the act, touting himself as the "crying conservative") and apocalyptic advice (stock the fruit cellar), there's no laughing at the very real anxiety he taps into. His predictions, after all, are just a few steps beyond those of such respected economists as Nouriel Roubini -- the one they call Dr. Doom.

  • IV. TRADE POLICIES by SECTOR (1) 1. the Maldives Is a Small Economy
    Maldives WT/TPR/S/221 Page 33 IV. TRADE POLICIES BY SECTOR (1) INTRODUCTION 1. The Maldives is a small economy with limited natural resources and thus a narrow economic base; heavy dependence on tourism services and fisheries makes the economy and trade vulnerable to exogenous shocks. Although the economy is relatively open with trade in goods and services accounting for over 150% of GDP in 2009, tariffs remain relatively high and state involvement is prevalent in many sectors. High tariffs and state involvement tend to impede competition and thus result in an inefficient allocation of resources. To be more resilient, the economy would need to diversify, this could be achieved through greater private-sector involvement. At present, private-sector involvement remains weak (except tourism), presumably due to crowding out by the state-owned enterprises and the relatively high cost of doing business in the Maldives. 2. Fisheries account for almost all merchandise exports and the state-owned Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company (MIFCO) remains dominant in the sector. Fishing and fish processing is characterized by very little product diversification and low value-added products. Export receipts would be significantly greater if higher value-added processes, such as canning, were to become more prevalent. The agriculture sector is limited to 30 square miles of arable land, which is used to grow fruits and vegetables for personal consumption. The manufacturing sector remains weak; it is protected by high tariffs, but receives government support in the form of tariff concessions on imported inputs. 3. Tourism and related activities, such as transport and communications, dominate services, contributing to as much as 70% of GDP.
