In 2013, the investment in fixed assets was CNY 44.7074 trillion in China, up by 19.3% YOY. The rapid growth stimulates demand for construction machinery. Consequently, as the global production and demand transfer, China becomes an important market and the manufacturing center of construction machinery with most of the market seized by the foreign-funded enterprises.

In 2013, the sales revenue of construction machinery industry surpassed CNY 600 billion in China, up by over 10% YOY.

The sales revenue of top 50 enterprises accounted for over 80% of the industry while that of XCMG exceeded CNY 100 billion. The annual sales revenue of over 10 manufacturers of construction machinery, including foreign-funded enterprises, surpassed CNY 10 billion.

Investment and M&A remained as the main trend of the industry due to high expectation of market demand. It is noteworthy that Chinese manufacturers of construction machinery are expanding business overseas. Certain Chinese manufacturers with strong competitiveness expand export and operate internationally through M&A and joint ventures. For instance, Weichai Power Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Shandong Heavy Industry Group, purchased shares of KION Group. Liugong Machinery (Poland) sp. z o. o. signed Conditional Acquisition Contract with the asset custody side of ZZN Transmission Plant in Stalowa Wola, Poland. SANY GROUP purchased the remaining 10% shares of Putzmeister and became its 100% shareholder.

Chinese government is determined to maintain economic growth through structure adjustment and reform instead of investment in fixed assets under the pressure of economy slowdown. The measures are proved to be effective in terms of urbanization. It once referred to an influx of rural migrants to cities that resulted in urban traffic congestion and increasing crime rate. However, current urbanization policies attempt to absorb surplus rural labors through synchronized development of small towns and medium to large cities. The number of small towns is approximately 20,000 in China. It is estimated that new urbanization infrastructure will stimulate demand of CNY 0.4-0.5 million for investment in fixed assets in the next 10 years. Decline of the governmental investment will make room for non-state-owned capital. The annual growth rate of investment in fixed assets like transportation, infrastructure and real estate is expected to surpass 15% in the coming years.

In 2014-2018, demand for construction machinery is estimated to increase outstandingly and create many opportunities for manufacturers at home and abroad.

These are specifically known as papillomaviruses because of some of its types give rise to a wart or papilloma which are benign growths. Some of them are also associated with certain cancers and known as carcinogenic HPVs. More than 40 types of HPV viruses are easily transferred from one person to another by sexual contact anal and oral. Ithas estimated worldwide prevalence of HPV induced cancer in approximately 12-13%. Cervical cancer is the second largest cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide.According to World Health Organization it has been estimated that globally 510,000 cases per year and about 288,000 deaths occur due to cervical cancer.

Currently, two U.S. FDA approved vaccines are commercially available namely Gardasil (Merck & Co., Inc.) and Cervarix (GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd.) for the treatment of HPV infections.The HPV therapeutic vaccines market is at a nascent stage and it would take approximately couple of decades to implement mass vaccination for preventingcervical cancer incidences. Gardasil is a quadrivalent vaccine and targets four HPV types (6, 11, 16 and 18) while Cervarix is bivalent vaccine and targets on two HPV types (16 and 18). It has been observed that neither of these HPV vaccines have been proven to provide complete protection against tenacious infections with other types of HPVs.

DNA Diagnostics Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends And Forecast, 2013 – 2019

http://www.marketresearchreports.biz/analysis-details/dna-diagnostics-market-global-industry-analysis-size-share-growth-trends-and-forecast-2013-2019

The completion of human genome project resulted in discovery of several human disease causing genes. This discovery has further led to the evolution of DNA diagnostic platforms and resulted in the transformation of DNA diagnostics platforms from a research based activity into a major professional or commercial activity. The transformation is majorly attributed to the rapid pace of technological advances followed by development of robust methodologies such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), microarrays, novel gene sequencing and others. DNA based diagnostic methods facilitate the mutation detection, identification of disease causing genes, diagnosis of monogenic disorders, etc. In addition, these platforms are employed in prenatal diagnosis to determine mutations and genetic disorders and also is used in the preimplantation diagnosis. Preimplantation diagnosis involves the detection of mutation in the 8 cell stage embryo before implantation and is possible due to development of combined technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), PCR and Fluorescent In Situ Hybridization (FISH). All these aforementioned factors prove that DNA diagnostics market holds immense growth potential in the near future.

DNA diagnostics market can be segmented based on the technology, application and geography. PCR, microarrays, lab-on-chip or biochips and in situ hybridization technologies are some of the major DNA technologies employed in several genetic tests. Biomarkers play a very important role in the identification of disease-causing genes and oncology is one of the major areas benefitted by biomarkers. DNA microarrays are used to identify the patients at high risk of acquiring disease, determine the effectiveness of the treatment and patient’s response to the treatment. Pre/post-natal genetic testing, oncology, infectious disease testing, forensics and pharmacogenomics are some of the applications of the DNA diagnostics market. Oncology is one of the major application areas of the DNA diagnostics due to increasing demand for the clinical applications of DNA-based tests. Also, the market can be analyzed with respect to four major geographies namely North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW).

Homes for Rent in Lake Magdalene, FL Now Posted Online by PLB Investment Group












Lake Magdalene, Florida (PRWEB) July 01, 2013

Locating available property for rent in populous cities is one struggle for individuals and families with immediate need for housing. One local company is now helping individuals by posting its homes for rent in Lake Magdalene, FL online. The PLB Investment Group created its website at http://realestatetampaflorida.com to offer easy access to review the current homes available for rent online. This growing portfolio of homes is designed to provide immediate availability for housing inside the Tampa, FL area.

Renting property now provides one method of housing for many people. Locating properties for rent using real estate agents or other professionals can be one challenge to established or new residents. The credit requirements can be one blockade that could prevent a person from establishing a lease agreement for an available property.

The company owned homes that are published online by the PLB Group are available to rent through a series of new financing programs that are designed for people with less than average credit ratings.

“We own the homes that we rent and sell to consumers,” a source from the PLB Investment Group added. The methods to creatively finance a person with a lower credit rating are proving to be alternatives to landlords or other methods of acquiring a monthly rental contract. Credit issues are a common reason for denial of many rental applications in the U.S.

“Our homes are internally financed and our lease agreements are customized for each individual,” the source added. These updated services were created this year due to the larger than average demand for leased properties in the Southern part of Florida.

The properties listed for rent online are in addition to services that have been designed to help sellers of real estate. The for sale by owner process is one of the most complicated to learn for homeowners searching for a way to sell homes without complications.

A series of services has been launched this year that directly help homeowners experiencing extraordinary circumstances to sell a property without restrictions or blockades. Company application forms now exist on the website that can be completed online and submitted to company housing specialists to expedite consumer services.

About PLB Investment Group

The PLB Investment Group has established is presence in the Tampa, Florida area as an alternative to real estate agents or realtors to complete sale or lease to own transactions. A group of company investors handles all of the buying and selling that takes place in the local area. A redesigned company website is now a source of information for non-realtor transactions to the public. The PLB Investment Group company currently purchases up to 10 properties in the local area each month to expand its growing portfolio of homes available for rent or purchase by consumers.

Cost Cuts and Declining Revenues Signal Lack of Future Economic Growth, According to Investment Contrarians Expert











Cost Cuts and Declining Revenues Signal Lack of Future Economic Growth, According to Investment Contrarians Expert


New York, NY (PRWEB) October 10, 2012

In a recent Investment Contrarians article, financial expert George Leong notes that revenues going forward, especially organic growth rates, will be extremely important for a healthy economy. Leong states that revenues need to grow to drive earnings; but businesses are cutting costs to drive earnings instead, signaling a lack of economic growth for the near future.

“Based on the current estimates, earnings for the S&P 500 are estimated to fall 2.6% in the third quarter, which would end the 11 straight months of earnings growth,” states Leong, citing FactSet (http://www.FactSet.com). “So far for the third quarter, 82 S&P 500 companies have issued negative earnings-per-share (EPS) guidance versus only 21 companies reporting positive guidance.”

According to Leong, Alcoa, one of the world’s top aluminum makers, is a good indicator for the global economy, as the metal is used in many industrial applications.

“In the second-quarter earnings season, Alcoa beat slightly on earnings, but revenues are an issue, as will likely be the situation for many U.S. companies,” reports Leong. He also notes that the company’s revenues are estimated to fall 12.7% in the third-quarter earnings season, followed by a 5.0% decline in the fourth-quarter earnings season.

“This is not what you would expect if the economy was healthy,” says Leong, noting that while there is some hope and optimism for the third-quarter earnings season, he expects disappointment across the board.

As in the past quarters, the key question, in Leong’s view, is whether companies are growing their revenues to drive earnings, or is earnings growth being generated by cost cuts. This is critical, and could give a good indication of how well corporate America is actually doing.

“The reality is that many companies cut costs during hard times, and they should be in a better condition now. If the economy was truly healthy, [the market] would see earnings growth driven by revenues,” Leong concludes.

Investment Contrarians is a daily financial e-letter dedicated to helping investors make money by going against the “herd mentality.”

The editors of Investment Contrarians believe the stock market and the economy have been propped up since 2009 by artificially low interest rates, never-ending government borrowing and an unprecedented expansion of our money supply. The “official” unemployment numbers do not reflect people who have given up looking for work and are thus skewed. They believe the “official” inflation numbers are also not reflective of today’s reality of rising prices.

After a 25- to 30-year down cycle in interest rates, the Investment Contrarians editors expect rapid inflation caused by huge government debt and money printing will eventually start us on a new cycle of rising interest rates.

With the economic sense commodities are products or services or marketable items. Another concise explaination commodity goes for goods only, that could be commodities that happen to be traded. These bags are used but you’re supplied without qualitative differentiation. That is definitely one unit is equivalent to another no matter who produced it. Corn, wheat, gold, and copper are generally forms of this sort of commodity.

The asking price of a commodity is universal; gold one example is could be 0 an oz anywhere at the open market as well as price constantly fluctuates based upon global supply and demand. Consumer goods, on the contrary, have qualitative product differentiation from factors which includes brand, quality and features. This differentiation causes the amount to differ for ones different brands, quality and features of the same product.

For commodities price is a function of your whole market. Basic resource and agricultural products commodities have actively markets. These include products such as silver, coal, copper, salt, sugar, coffee and soybeans. Soft commodities are often agricultural items which are grown while hard commodities are products which are mined.

Commodities investing arenas are very efficient, responding quickly to modifications to demand and supply. They normally use standard size contracts for trading purposes which improve the efficiency of one’s market. The foreign exchange market efficiency means prices will reflect industry conditions quickly and traders are generally reasonably absolutely clear on the worth they are really paying.

Commodity dealers usually provide futures contracts. That could be they open an agreement for just a fraction on the importance of the primary asset and settle the agreement down the road. The contract price fluctuates continuously in accordance with the tariff of the principle asset through to the contract is settled. After the contract is settled the difference in price when the agreement was opened provides a profit or perhaps a loss into the investor. The contracts are offered or sold. Should a contract is bought the investor moved long relating to the deal with an boost in fees are important for earnings. In case your contract comes the investor has gone short over the deal and then a decline in expenditure is necessary for some cash.

To be a success as a general commodity trader it is vital to build up a trading strategy. The truth is this is often about the most important steps to to be able to make informed trading decisions. A sound trading strategy involves research. The harder knowledge the trader has relating to the commodity traded additionally, the factors that move industry the higher the trading decisions will undoubtedly be.

Investors are able to use commodity mutual funds exactly the same stock index settlement is used. That is certainly they enable the investor to diversify their investment into a number of commodities. This reduces the risk of commodity investing considerably and protects your time and money against inflation. In addition it clarifies that it’s more unlikely for those investor experiencing huge losses as might happen by investing in just one commodity.

Commodities future trading is often rather lucrative within a short time period, but unless the trader develops an audio trading strategy and learns the best way to manage newborns increase the involved one is more inclined to suffer money than make money. Commodity futures trading is definitely an risky endeavor.
