China to help Ghana develop gas | www.upstreamonline.com
The new gas pipeline to be developed in Ghana linking the offshore Jubilee field to the Aboadze thermal plant near Takoradi, is excellent news for Ghana and its struggling energy-starved industries. Ceramic companies currently suffer from both power outages and the lack of thermal energy sources to expand their operations into being regional players.This can be the opportunity for gas-based industrialization to spur economic growth of the country to make Ghana the “South Africa” of West Africa.

EADS posts a loss and cancels its dividend
March 10, 2010
In August 2009, I have contributed an analysis and predicted that EADS is in for hard time in the next couple of years and here it is, the Euro 1.5B net profit in 2008 was turned into a net loss of Euro 763M and the cancellation of dividend, an extreme measure for a European /government owned company. The worse is yet to come as the company speeds ups production and invades its backlog.

The United States construction materials industry has likely finally hit bottom, but the ride down has taken its toll. Industry players in cement, ready mix, aggregates, asphalt and contracting are operating at a fraction of their usual total capacity.
