| New Swipe Fee Battle: More Consumer Pain? Posted: 28 Jan 2012 07:00 AM PST
NEW YORK (LowCards.com) -- Another major dispute on interchange fees could take place, and this one may have new, painful consequences for consumers. This time, the battle centers around the swipe fee that retailers pay on credit card transactions. According to CNBC, there is an antitrust suit between 5 million retailers and Visa, MasterCard and 13 large banks, including Citi, Bank of America, Chase, Capital One, U.S. Bancorp and Wells Fargo. Retailers claim that banks and the payment systems have unfairly worked together to increase the amount of the interchange fee retailers pay on any purchase made with a credit card. Shoppers may see even lower swipe fees at the checkout, but banks will surely look elsewhere to make up for billions in lost revenue. ... |

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- What do Jack Abramoff, Vaclav Havel, Nelson Mandela and Aung-San-Suu-Kyi have in common? To start, they are all ex-con celebrities who have written books with a political freedom theme. For all of them, prison followed their perspectives on political freedoms. Only Jack Abramoff was jailed for abusing these freedoms, for example by teaching his clients "how Washington worked." The others wanted to sample freedoms, like those Americans take for granted. They would never have thought of perverting the precious gift of protected freedoms. Jack Abramoff ... |

| Even Ford's Mulally Can't Fix Everything Posted: 28 Jan 2012 04:49 AM PST DETROIT TheStreet) -- Alan Mulally fixed Ford , but he did not fix the world economy, and Ford paid for that in the fourth quarter. The automaker reported Friday that, during the quarter, it underperformed in every region of the world except for the U.S. It lost money in Asia and Europe and its earnings fell in South America. Shares fell about 4%, to $12.21, after Ford missed estimates of 25 cents by 5 cents. Ford has been transformed under Alan Mulally, but that doesn't mean it can totally avoid negative economic trends. The truth is that the U.S. automakers are recovering very nicely, but these sprawling international companies cannot get too far ahead of world economies. Sure, it is great to be a far-flung global enterprise, taking advantage of all the growth trends around the world. But globalization also means sensitivity to every problem that crops up. ...

NEW YORK (Insider Monkey) -- During the recent market turmoil, the financial markets have been hit by one crisis after another. Most people are pessimistic about the economy. Central banks all around the world have been trying to stimulate the economy by applying inflationary monetary policies. One result of the Fed's monetary policy is ultra-low yielding long-term Treasuries. It doesn't make sense to invest in 10-year Treasuries for the long term. With the low interest rates, investors are better off by investing in high-dividend stocks. ... Click to view a price quote on EPD. Click to research the Energy industry. |
