Why Thursday Will Be Huge For Europe


french press coffee

Markets are bouncing back today, and the newsflow is light today, but don't worry, the headline risk will be back with a vengeance soon enough.

You should probably grab an extra iced coffee on Thursday.

First of all, there's a big Eurozone meeting on Thursday, where leaders will discuss bailout options. If there's no progress, nerves will be back.

And then there's a bunch of data.

Here's Goldman:

Whereas core Eurozone data has been resilient so far, and in some cases may even have been supported by the easing in financial conditions caused by the intensification of sovereign concerns, it is hard to believe that if these concerns persist and intensify further, this will not eventually begin to weigh on business sentiment and activity. Indeed, as we described in a recent global daily (Global PMI Deterioration Continues Despite Positive Surprise in the US), if we consider the standardized changes in manufacturing PMIs over the four month period from February onwards, the countries with the five biggest PMI falls are Italy, the UK, Austria, Netherlands and Germany. And whereas cyclical equities in the core countries have traded relatively better, banks across Europe have been hard hit as markets worry about the interconnectivities within the financial system.

So there have been a few cracks in the data, but if we were to see this weakness spread more broadly within the core Eurozone macro dataset, then it would obviously be additionally troubling. The flash manufacturing and services PMIs for Eurozone out later this week (on Thursday) should provide a fresh indication about this. Consensus expects a further slight weakening in the Eurozone aggregate, but the individual country results will matter as much and merit careful watching.

7 Tips For Recent Grads When Working With Recruiters


 

 

After graduating college or right before getting their diploma many entry-level job seekers are exposed to recruiters for the first time. One of the main reasons for this is that many career centers are not too keen on headhunters primarily due to the fact that some recruitment professionals act in a manner that is perceived not to be in the best interest of the college graduate.

 

Therefore, many entry-level job seekers have little to no idea about the staffing industry until they are initially contacted by a recruitment agency. When I graduated college, I was recruited by a professional recruiter in Minneapolis whom I knew little to nothing about in a job that I hated for company that was antiquated and not progressive in their thinking. Luckily, this worked out for me.

 

Regardless, the below advice should help recent college graduates effectively deal with recruiters.

 

1. Only engage with recruiters who have jobs that pay a base salary.

 

2. Only engage with recruiters who do not charge the job applicants nor actively push resume services or other job seeking consulting services before the headhunters consider you for a job.

 

3. Only engage with recruiters who will tell you the name of the company that they are working with prior to interviewing with that firm. However, as a job seeker you should be responsible and confidential about the companies that are hiring as not doing so is highly unethical and is a form of corporate theft.

 

4. Upon approaching a recruiter or any particular executive search firm, do enough research on the staffing agency prior to initial contact and make sure that the firm deals with jobs that you may like.

 

5. If a recruiter sends you to meet with a client, remember that upon interviewing with that firm, you are not only representing yourself, but also the recruiter who sent you on that particular interview.

 

6. Have realistic expectations as nobody will find your perfect job for you without you doing the necessary legwork. Recruiters can only do so much; you have to help the recruiters help you.

 

7. Only work with recruiters whom you feel comfortable with. As a recent college graduate, remember that you've worked hard for your degree and, if you don't feel comfortable with the direction a recruiter is taking you, either voice your opinion and see if the individual changes or change recruiters.

 

In the end, working with recruiters is not brain science, however make sure you have enough information and, upon gathering this information make a decision whether or not you would like to approach head hunters at this point in time.

 

There are more ethical, hard-working recruiters than the bunch that you often hear about and, working with recruiting firms, if done properly is a good way to diversify your job search.

LETTERMAN: The Top Ten Pieces of Wisdom From Dave's Mom

Understanding Debt Relief

[WizardRSS: unable to retrieve full-text content]

Orlando, Fl -- Let's face it, debt repayments are a major component of every household budget, whether it be for the repayment of a mortgage loan, car loan, or credit cards. Every month consumers are faced with the reality that they owe someone (or someplace) money, and they factor those payments into their budget. The majority of these debts carry very long repayment timelines and often consumers can find themselves at a point in their life where their income is not sufficient to maintain the repayment terms of their debts (for the purposes of this article we are referring specifically to unsecured debts- credit cards, signature loans, store cards, gas cards, etc.).

Coffee Price Hikes Make Starbucks Stock Look Costly

StarbucksStarbucks (SBUX) has announced a 17% hike in the price of its packaged coffee to compensate for the steep increase in Arabica coffee prices. Its competitors in the broader market for specialty coffee include McDonald's (MCD), Caribou Coffee (CBOU) and Peet's Coffee (PEET). Our price estimate for Starbucks stands at near $40, which is in line with the market price.

Why Coffee Prices are Rising?

In May 2011, Arabica coffee futures hit their highest price in 14 years on concerns that upcoming harvests would be insufficient to supply the world's growing consumption of coffee. According to some analysts, a rush from coffee roasters such as Starbucks to hedge as much of their price exposure led to the increase in price of coffee futures. Many believe that Starbucks has typically hedged two to three months ahead of its needs due to the prospects of higher coffee prices in the near term. Increases in farming costs coupled with storms in Columbia also led to the substantial price increases.

Starbucks sells packaged coffee and tea globally through arrangements with grocery and warehouse club stores, such as Costco (COST). Currently, its packaged coffee and tea are available in close to 37,000 such stores worldwide.



The increased prices are likely to affect the company revenues. However, the customers who are habituated to Starbucks coffee might still splurge on their highly priced coffee products. Still, we believe the passing on of higher prices to customers will affect Starbucks' top line. Other sellers like Smuckers (SJM), Sara Lee (SLE) and Peet's have also raised prices on coffee products.
