Headlines in crisis
When a problem is being assumed when we started to laugh at him, that's going to the crisis that already tired a bit and touches the recochineo. So last Friday I was able to read this article ingenious with the 10 incumbents who will read:
1. Iberia, forced to cut costs, decided to outsource the loss of luggage.
2. Goodbye to the dream of the Floating City of Alicante.
3. Inditex is forced to lay off 1,000 children.
4. The profits of banks increased by only 7'2% last quarter.
5. Telefonica will force its contract customers to call their mothers once a day.
6. Ikea abandons its policy to include more of a screw.
7. The group Prisa Sogecable to sell Pipas Facundo per thousand packages of pipes and wins.
8. BBVA prohibits its clients die before the end of paying the mortgage.
9. All parties would like to buy Nike Spain, except IU, he preferred the offer of Adidas.
10. Endesa is declared in suspension of commitments to the children of your children.
Section 8 gives a lot about what we think, any lover of the conspiracy theory think that medical advances are promoted by banks and that prolonging life expectancy is part of their business strategy.
As we have seen these days in the world there are several realities, the reality of forecasts, the election of the desires and the actual reality, so let's true that the owners are those closer to the latter.
- The People's faces the harsh reality: may fall another 50% if the crisis worsens
- Iberia profit falls 72.4% in first half
- The funds' vultures' landing in Spain looking for signatures in crisis
- The deterioration of employment is compounded by the worst July since 1960
- Solbes said that inflation and the Euribor may have plateaued
- Carl Icahn is also not spared from the crisis: its real estate is declared bankrupt
- To end, the good news: The oil lowers the bar of 121 U.S. dollars for fear of U.S. weakness
As you can see the Atualidades mark the increase in unemployment, business performance and declining oil prices. Not bad, to be in August.
