Gyurcsany

Of late, Gyurcsany has paved way for a few reforms, which might help pull up the economy of the nation.

With Gyurcsany trying desperately to stabilise this critical economic situation, steps to be undertaken to undo the damage include: Plans to cut 8% of the present GDP in the next three years by increasing taxes, cut spending, bring health reforms, increase tuition fees, lower gas subsidies & low pensions.

Capital Gain

Barring the element of capital gain, dividend yield indicates the return on investment for a stock and is generally computed as the ratio of annual dividend per share to the price per share. In simpler terms, dividend yield helps analysts find out the amount of cash flow generated by every unit of currency that the investor invests in equity. The ratio also is used to find out whether the stocks of a company are under priced or overpriced. While a high dividend yield is considered as an evidence of an under priced stock, a low dividend yield represents the opposite position. Mirroring all these perspectives, the B&E Power 100 has considered dividend yield as a measure of the yield paid out by the companies to their shareholders in the form of dividends.

Shopping Malls

The family now can be seen picking up paper towels, tissue papers, variety of jams and marmalades, experimenting various breakfast cereals, chocolates etc. Shopping is a lifestyle statement for them. They are trying out different options for soaps, liquid handwash, creams, gels and the works. Most retail audits and market surveys are revealing this paradigm shift in the spending habits. The family also gets a strange sense of liberation and in control, as all of them pick the products off the shelves and put them in their cart/tray. And all that in the presence of other shoppers. This ability to make such purchases gives them a sense of pride. The result is a marketer’s delight – loaded bags. Malls allow consumers to flirt with various brands, and engage in a relationship as long as the courtship creates pleasure.
