It goes to the Japanese
We have always said that the Japanese when they strike they do is work even more cause for over-production and thus cause serious economic damage to the company because this is a stock that can not place.
Perhaps because of the image we have of the Japanese, this idea has been with us, but unfortunately this is an urban legend since what typically do is work hard with less causing bugs in products.
To check if it is true, I searched the last strike held in Japan, found the following news: The Japanese fishing fleet in janethegreat strike by the rise of crude oil.
Tokyo, Aug 18 (EFECOM) .- The members of the two major associations of fishing janethegreat Japan suspended its work today to protest against oil prices, according to local news agency Kyodo.
As we can see, do not get to fish like crazy if they leave the boats moored well.
Something strange is happening in the world, when they do strikes really are the Japanese and those who make the alleged strikes were the Italians Japanese, we see this news yesterday: free pizza in Naples to protest high prices.
"Pizzaioli", or pizzeros chefs, gave away pizzas in Naples on Wednesday to protest the high prices charged by competitors, whom they accuse of exploiting the rise in prices of raw materials to swindle the consumers.
The prices of raw materials such as fuel, have fallen from record last month before concerns about global demand from consumers and businesses while the global economy deteriorates. But prices for retail not yet reflect this trend.
Again the same thing as always, the constant increase in prices and excellent excuse is that the rise in oil s / "title =" "> oil. Usually we blame the gas stations and multinational these increases, however they to be in the spotlight all tend to move with caution its pricing policy, is possibly in the small business (such as pizza restaurants complain that the Italians) that more are taking advantage of this situation.
Turning to the topic by country, we have always thought that the Internet is for the Nordic countries that spend all day at home as they connected on the street makes a scratch that does not stop there who, curiously Spaniards are the second country in Europe to more hours spent on the network, namely 25 hours per month.
The figure puts them in second place behind the European ranking of Britons who spend 28.5 hours per month on average in the web.
Below Dutch, French and German with more than 23 hours per month. By contrast, in last position are Irish Internet users with 14.6 hours per month, Austrians and Russians with 16 hours, and the Danes with 16.8 hours.
That world, the Japanese really do strikes, Italians and Spaniards give away pizzas prefer a PC and a bar.
Perhaps the cause of so much time in front of the computer because it is within what it is cheap. Today is the end of the month at 11:15 and know the average Euribor August. The media carried by publishing the data for several days and time will be asked: Does the Euribor has plateaued? For now, mortgages are still scratching their pocket.
They were already five months of panic that the upward trend of the Euribor tip to all who kept alive a loan mortgage river reviewable. Now that the evolution of the benchmark for the calculation of most mortgages in Spain is something softer, which had been terror remains a serious anxiety.
This is because, although the monthly payment will be more expensive than a year ago, the index is at levels higher than then, there is a more favorable trend in the coming months. The experts even talk that he might close the year at around 5.1%.
We will have to be attentive to "the experts" of whom certainly speaks the comment of the week:

August 27, 2008, at 9:44. What I do not understand is that a few gentlemen who are devoted to analyzing the economy, to make predictions, opinions and analysis in the short, medium and long term, which will involve specialists , And that they live, they fail more than a shotgun fair.
I do not think this or that decent people are giving information and painting scenarios, which then is not that a little mistake, is that, rightly or not far away.
What are based to make these forecasts? Because clearly, then a Currito as I read the business press, and read and listen to these gentlemen and decides to act according to what they say these experts, and that the poor ordinary people can cost us a lot of money.
Which is that the end is my (our) money with what they're playing. If on the basis of these forecasts decides to buy an apartment now instead of within 3 years, or invest in venture capital, or buy a particular action ... Then the next day go so quiet and say 'hey no, that what I said Yesterday the crisis, that is not going to last for only 3 months, which will be 10 years, and shares of Mattel that have not risen, which have fallen 20% so it no longer invirtáis in them. " And UNO, which had decided to stick around ahorritos on what these "experts" had recommended, it loses a paste, and these men continue to earn his salary?
If I did my job badly I would fall bronzes, suspensions and salary employment and even fired me, and these gentlemen ... what?
The prediction that this makes the analyst, who won a dough, I find it laughable, that any of us can do this while we take a coffee: Mattel passing GM in market capitalization ... yes, of course, is that the crisis is a purchase a barbi but did not buy a car, and barbi worth less than the Play Station. From laughter!
Tomorrow the shares of Mattel down 10% and the specialist on duty will say: "Yes of course, is that the ongoing crisis there, children play hide-and camber, instead of buying a barbie." And you face in your house with lettuce seeing just lose equismil euro reversed yesterday on the advice of that analyst.
Good weekend to all.
