Chemical Businesses!

I haven’t talked about the chemical industry for some time now. Maybe because I’m invested in it and it’s not doing to well. The chemical makers like Ashland, Dow Chemical and Rohm & Haas haven’t been doing to hot over the last few years. Mostly because of the chemical products they produced have dropped off. When people stop buying things around the world this industry feels it the most. That’s because they make the raw materials that go into just about everything. All of these companies I just stated in this post have lost about 80 percent in value because of the down turn. Two of these companies had agree to come together before the down turn, Dow Chemical and Rohm & Haas. Dow Chemical was going to purchase Rohm & Haas for $78 a share. But that deal has since falling apart, and Dow Chemical was paying a $3 million a day fee until they close the deal. And this deal also sparked Rohm & Haas to file a lawsuit against Dow Chemical; it was a big mess. However, over the last 2 years these companies have had a come back, a huge come back. Ashland is up from a low of $5.35 a year ago to almost $54 a share today. I have shares in Ashland, and have done pretty good with them, I think they still have room to grow, anyway that’s what I’m hoping.

Community Of Educators!

I came across a site the other day that has a review of travel guide book. If you’re k-12 teacher, homeschoolers, student, higher education professor, administrator you might want to check the site out. You can find the site by doing a search for travel guide book. Not only will you be visiting a great site you can enter into their weekly book giveaways. If you’re also looking lsat prep work do a search for that as well, pretty good sites out there which are completely free.

Gastric Bypass!

Here’s some interested reading I came across not to long ago. It seems that gastric bypass surgery offers no help if you have diabetes. I was really surprise about this, because I thought, and also read that the surgery was very helpful. I read that gastric bypass is now the most commonly performed weight-loss surgery in the U.S. And that almost 140,000 procedures done every year, that’s a lot. What ever happen with getting on a diet and sticking to it. Heck, there’s tons of ways to lose weight. One way is diet pills, do your own diet pill reviews on one’s like phentermine . And do a simple search and try taking that road if you can’t afford the surgery. Why do we need to just look for the quick fix all the time? I say, if your overweight just simply get out of the chair and go for a walk, that’s what I did. I got tired of being a little overweight and started walking, the fresh air and no food around really does work, it worked for me and it can work for you.
