The Pontiac G6 GXP

The Pontiac G6 is a mid-size car that was produced under the Pontiac brand of American automaker General Motors. It was introduced in the fall of 2004 to replace the Grand Am. The car was built on the GM Epsilon platform which it shared with the Chevrolet Malibu and Saab 9-3 along with other General Motors vehicles. Styling was redone in a more conservative fashion, and the ribbed cladding and rear spoiler that were prevalent on the Grand Am was replaced by standard sheet metal. Features included a remote starting system (standard on GT, optional on base model) as well as a panoramic sunroof option.

When the G6 was introduced in 2005, it had two trim levels, base "V6" and sportier "GT". Both trims, however, used a 3.5 L pushrod V6 producing 200 horsepower (150 kW) and 220 lbf·ft (300 N·m) of torque. Matched to a four-speed automatic transmission, the GT featured TAPshift, where the driver could select the gears manually. Base models were well equipped, featuring power locks, windows and mirrors with keyless entry, six-speaker CD stereo, power drivers seat, air conditioning and split folding rear seat. GTs added an eight-speaker Monsoon stereo, premium cloth seats with six-way adjustment, remote start, ABS and traction control.

In 2006, the G6 added two new trim levels and two new bodystyles, a coupe and a retractable hard top convertible. The new trim levels were a new base four-cylinder trim (sometimes referred to as "SE"), and the high performance "GTP". Coupes and convertibles were available in GT and GTP trims only. The new base model used a 167-horsepower, 2.4 L DOHC inline-4, mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The 3.5 L V6 was now part of a sport-package on the base/SE, and remained standard on the GT. The new GTP used a 3.9 L version of the GT's 3.5 L V6, but also utilizes variable valve timing (VVT), increasing output to 240 horsepower. A four-speed automatic transmission was standard, but for no cost, a six-speed manual transmission was available. The GTP convertible was not available with the manual transmission and reduced its power to 227 hp, due to a more restrictive exhaust system. The GTP also features stability control, not available on other G6 models.

The 2007 G6 saw more engine changes, and standard side torso and side curtain airbags (actually introduced late in the 2006 model year) were new. The GT now featured VVT on its 3.5 L V6, raising power from 200 hp to 224 hp. The 3.9 L V6 became an option on the GT, producing 227 horsepower in automatic transmission form and 240 horsepower in manual transmission form. The GTP was given a new 3.6 L DOHC V6 with 24 valves and VVT, producing 252 horsepower. It is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Midway through the model year the six-speed was dropped with the 3.9 L, along with its 240 horsepower output. The GTP convertible was also discontinued. For 2008, the GTP became the GXP with more dramatic styling cues, and the 3.9 L engine became an exclusive convertible option, with horsepower down to 222. SAE ratings also dropped the horsepower ratings on the 2.4 L and 3.5 L models to 164 hp and 219 hp (217 hp on convertibles), respectively.

Actual Cash Value (ACV)

Actual Cash Value (ACV) is a method of valuing insured property. Actual Cash Value (ACV) is computed by subtracting depreciation from the replacement cost. The depreciation is usually calculated by establishing a useful life of the item and determining what percentage of that life remains. This percentage times the replacement cost gives the ACV.

Derivative

There are several types of derivatives, the most common ones are mathematical derivative and a financial derivative, if you wonder what type of derivative we are about to talk about here; we are talking about a financial derivative. A true definition of a financial derivative is an unreal or un-true agreement or exchange of services, a derivative does not involve a valuable goods like money, products, and Goods , it is basically a way of trading substance or time for a favor. A good example will be have someone do you a favor or exchanging favor that benefit both party, something like say you have a room mate and you tell your room mate to help wait at home to receive a parcel for you and you offer to help him pick up his food that he ordered at a Chinese restaurant. now that you have read about derivative we hope that you don't get it mixed up with the mathematical derivative.

S&P 500

The S&P 500 is a free-float capitalization-weighted index published since 1957 of the prices of 500 large-cap common stocks actively traded in the United States. The stocks included in the S&P 500 are those of large publicly held companies that trade on either of the two largest American stock market companies; the NYSE Euronext and the NASDAQ OMX. The index focus is now U.S.-based companies only although there are a few legacy companies with headquarters in other countries.[1] Any new companies added to the index are U.S. based, and, when a U.S. company shifts its headquarters overseas, it is replaced by a U.S. company as happened when Transocean moved from Houston to Switzerland in 2008. [2]
After the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the SP 500 is the most widely followed index of large-cap American stocks. It is considered a bellwether for the American economy, and is included in the Index of Leading Indicators. Some mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and other funds such as pension funds, are designed to track the performance of the SP 500 index. Hundreds of billions of US dollars have been invested in this fashion.

S&P 500 refers not only to the index, but also to the 500 companies that have their common stock included in the index. The ticker symbol for the S&P 500 index varies. Some examples of the symbol are ^GSPC,[3] .INX,[4] and $SPX.[5] The stocks included in the S&P 500 index are also part of the broader S&P 1500 and S&P Global 1200 stock market indices.

Has the federal Stimulus plan help produce new jobs ?

       According to experts, the federal stimulus plan has not helped as projected the federal stimulus plan was a plan developed by the government to help boost the economy. It is a process where the federal government provided funds for the ailing economy to help jump start many business. This was an attempt to prevent companies from folding up and filling bankruptcy. The to help boost businesses really did helped businesses like Citi bank, Chase bank, Washington mutual and other financial firms. Evidently most businesses benefited from the federal stimulus plan because they were able to use the federal funds to do businesses, since investors were afraid of the stock market situation and they tend to sell their stock and hardly no one is buying any stocks the this is where the federal stimulus plan came handy for most businesses; especially for the financial firm, they seem to be on the higher risk level as compared to other businesses therefore many investors ran away from them.
          In fact many believed the unemployment rate has gone over the digits that were projected. Today Friday June 04 2010 the report about employment has confirmed that many jobs were added for the month of May. President Obama viewed this as a confirmation that the economy is getting stronger, our questions are, is this true, how long will this job last, are they temporary jobs or not?. In other to get more fact we did further research and below are our findings.
       According to MSNBC “some 431,000 jobs were added for the month. But almost all of them were temporary Census Department jobs that will last for only a few weeks or months. Private sector employers added just 41,000 net new workers to their payrolls in May. Payroll gains were revised downward for March and April by a combined 22,000". This allowed us to agree with MSNBC that most jobs will have to come from private owned sectors. We also believed that what will help the economy is for banks to be very flexible with lending money to small business owners, entrepreneurs, big businesses that has solid business foundation to guarantee company expansion, from the expansion will come many jobs. The federal government should also have some regulations to prevent united based product manufacturing companies from moving overseas, many companies like Jordan shoes, Nike shoes, silver wares manufacturers and mainly every product in united states are made from China, Mexico or Japan, all this labels of outside manufacturer are labels that signifies the job that we have lost to other nations. The above approach will be a good solution to the unemployment problem, as many people are becoming unemployed and no new jobs are created. We have studied cases of increase in unemployment to the rate of crimes committed, what we found is that it is related in the sense that, the higher the number of unemployment the high the crimes.

President Obama supports United State's home based Natural Oil

Since President Obama supports that the nation taps into its reserved natural oil, we see that there will be a big game changer here. I was watching Jim Crammer show today and I support his Opinion on Westport Transportation Inc, WPRT. WPRT should see huge profit, soon we begin to tap into the natural oil guess who will be transporting the natural gas ?  the answer is WPRT, that is where this transportation company come in and do the transportation job.  WPRT is were to go.

Boycotting BP Gas Stations

Majority of people following the Oil leak problem are considering boycotting BP gas station. Their are groups protesting against BP as they feel that BP is not proactive enough about fixing the leak. The Oil leaking is now 45days old and we are facing a lot of problems here, Poising, livestock murder, water pollution, and beach pollution. I guess soon we should expect the crude oil to float from the Gulf to the American beaches.  This is the position that BP has the whole world stuck with, every one is looking for an answer from BP. A lot of pressure is on the Obama Government to do something, the republican are take the chance to throw dagger at the Democrats, all media are raising alarms on the Government. Lets remember the Obama administration did not swim down the Gulf to dig a Oil hole there, it was all the greed of BP to generate more income by expanding Oil drilling.
       Above is the overview of the condition and source of the problem with the Oil leak. So should United State boycott or not. Share your view.

JP Morgan fined $49 million

The Finance Service Authority (FSA) regulator for great Britain handed JP  Morgan Chase a $49 million fine after they found out that JP Morgan failed to segregate investors and client money from the firms money. The FSA feared that this will put people that bank with JP Morgan in deep debt if by any chance JP Morgan go bankrupt.
       Although JP Morgan is cooperating with the FSA, as they have immediately fixed it, JP Morgan claimed it was an error that they missed during the merged with chase in 2000. The correction was not enough for the FSA to lift the fine it only saved JP Morgan 30% of the fine.  The punishment by the Finance Service Authority was to teach other companies lesson to always segregate there bankers or clients money from other monies in the company so any company will not be tempted to play foul game with their client's money.
