August 29, 2011 -- The government is a step closer to tracing the secret bank accounts of Indians, especially diamond traders, in Belgium.


Under pressure from India and various global forums, Belgium has finally agreed to provide information held by its banks and financial institutions to India.


The move is likely to help the government track black money parked by Indians in Belgium - a huge diamond trading hub.


The government is a step closer to tracing the secret bank accounts of Indians, especially diamond traders, in Belgium.

Under pressure from India and various global forums, Belgium has finally agreed to provide information held by its banks and financial institutions to India.


The move is likely to help the government track black money parked by Indians in Belgium - a huge diamond trading hub.


Antwerp in Belgium is the centre of the global diamond business and many families from Gujarat are involved in diamond trading there.


Earlier this year, the government had served notices on 17 Indians for allegedly stashing away money in secret bank accounts in the LGT Bank of Liechtenstein.

Some of the biggest diamond traders from Gujarat reportedly comprised the list.

The Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between India and Belgium, signed in 1993, provided for exchange of information if it was held by banks or financial institutions.

Bradley Associates News Blog Info: Ways to monitor market highs and lows

http://www.pr4links.com/News_20323.aspx

When you'd invested £1,000 in a FTSE a hundred tracker fund at the beginning of 1998, the capital worth will be practically the same these days. Of course, you'd have accumulated a few returns; however you seemed to be more satisfied buying bonds, or perhaps hold cash. You’d undoubtedly get rested much more peacefully by averting all the unpredictability. The truth is that the old saying regarding ‘buy and hold’ being the path to stock market wealth is a misconception for a lot of investors. In the last 10 years, the market offers dealt in amounts showing trader anticipation and pessimism in any given instant. However it didn't create fresh heights.

Therefore what’s improved? In the early 1980s until 2000, stock markets had been sustained by a variety of revenue progress, dropping long-term interest levels and widening P/E multiples. Thus earnings had been increasing, credit is becoming less expensive, plus the volume which traders had been prepared to buy the degree of revenue continued soaring. Consequently, anybody who obtained a package of stocks and kept these during that time possibly managed effectively.

Currently, having interest levels from typically 'abnormal' amounts, rising cost of living and financial systems vulnerable, the opposite situation - dropping earnings as well as increasing credit charges - is quite probable, rendering it tougher to profit through stocks. We are not expressing that one can’t generate profits in ‘sideways’ markets - you only need to keep working harder at it. This means you try to offer in to market rallies and purchase occasionally with pessimism. Though it may be challenging to record highs and lows, there are several methods to handle it.

1. Concentrate on top quality stocks, not markets

Purchasing a tracker fund or perhaps a unit trust that’s benchmarked in an index may not be the most effective method. Surprisingly, monitoring an index doesn’t lessen risk, because significant portions of indices could be focused in particular agencies or markets. (FTSE one hundred is an example.) The targeted portfolio for 10 to 12 good-quality corporations throughout various companies may generate outstanding earnings though diversifying risks towards tolerable degrees.
