The tax rates listed here are “combined corporate income tax rates,” a number that includes both national and local levies. It should be noted that the OECD only compiles corporate tax data on its 30 member countries, which do not include the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China), as these countries are not currently full members. The lowest OECD Tax rates belong to Ireland (12.5%) and Iceland (15%)."

Australia's $30 Billion BROADBAND Project

While some of the major details are still evolving (...for instance, whether or not Australia will hire private-sector multinational IT companies like Cisco/CSCO, Siemens/SI, IBM, or even Google/GOOG to help out), Australia's government recently committed to a highly ambitious eight-year, $30.5 Billion Internet infrastructure spending project that will aim to significantly boost the country's current broadband network capacity and also, preserve 200,000 Australian JOBS. Per Australia's Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, the country's LARGEST EVER infrastructure project to date "will support 25,000 jobs every year over the eight-year life of the project", and will also provide citizens with Internet access 100 times faster than currently available speeds.


Some additional bullet points:
* The Australian government plans to form and temporarily own 51% of the new company that will be responsible for making the initial investments of approx $3.4 Billion in order to build and operate the new high-speed Internet network...The government plans to sell its stake in the company five years after the project's completion


* In order to FINANCE the entire $30 Billion undertaking, the government currently plans to sell up to $16 Billion in BONDS to the public and also plans to raise $14.3 Billion via 'private (equity) investment'


* The plan's seemingly earnest objective is to supply 90% of Australian homes with Internet connections of up to 100 megabits per second and the remaining 10% with speeds of up to 12 megabits per second


* According to JPMorgan's Chase & Company's Internet Investment Guide, about 17% of Australia's population had access to high-speed Internet connections in 2008 (this rate compares to 19% in both the U.S. and Japan...and also to 26% in both South Korea and Switzerland)


* Australia's unique geography (many cities densely located on its coast, the sparsely-populated Outback) has made Broadband advancement a difficult issue in the past


* Kevin Rudd, Australia's Prime Minister, made Broadband infrastructure expansion a priority during his 2007 political campaign...According to Reuters, Rudd's current popularity is near-record levels in domestic opinion surveys


* In addition to the $30 Billion (43 Billion Australian dollars) pledged to stimulate Australia's economy via this massive Broadband plan, Australia's government has pledged approx $57 Billion (78 Billion Australian dollars) in economic stimulus since September 2008 (the now infamous date marking the collapse of the artist formerly known as Lehman Brothers)

Top 5 Carbon Dioxide Emitters

According to the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, China is the World's Largest Carbon Dioxide emitting country and from 2006-2007, contributed to 2/3 of the world's 3.1% increase in CO2 emissions. The U.S. is the world's 2nd largest 'producer' of carbon dioxide and its emissions rose 1.8% from 2006 to 2007 vs. China's 8% yoy increase in emissions.

Top 5 + % of TOTAL GLOBAL Carbon Dioxide Emissions:
1. China -- 24%
2. U.S. -- 21%
3. E.U. (15 countries) -- 12%
4. India -- 8%
5. Russia --6%

------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Per the 6/13/08 NEAA press release (link is below):

"In 2007, global CO2 emissions increased by 3.1%, compared to 3.5% in 2006...With an 8% national increase, China’s carbon dioxide emissions accounted for two thirds of last year’s global carbon dioxide increase of 3.1%. India, the USA and Russia each contributed about 10% to the global increase. Since 1990, global CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use and cement production have increased by about 34%. The increase in global CO2 emissions was mainly due to the combustion of the fossil fuels coal, oil and natural gas. Fossil fuel still remains the most used energy source to meet the growing energy demand...China’s CO2 emissions are now estimated to be about 14% higher than those from the USA. With this, China tops the list of CO2 emitting countries, having about a quarter share in global CO2 emissions (24%), followed by the USA (21%), the EU-15 (12%), India (8%) and the Russian Federation (6%). Together, they comprise 71% of the total of global CO2 emissions. These figures are based on a preliminary estimate by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL), using recently published BP (British Petroleum) energy data and cement production data for 2007.

* In 2007, global emissions of the main greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel combustion increased by about 3.2%, which is about the same as the 3.1% increase in 2006. The increase in 2007 is mainly due to a 4.5% increase in COAL consumption:

- Global CO2 emissions from coal combustion increased by 4.5%. China contributed most to this increase with an 8% increase in 2007 (vs 12% in 2006). In the rest of the world coal combustion emissions increased by 2.2%.

- Global CO2 emissions from combustion of natural gas increased by 3.1%, mainly due to increasing consumption in China, Russia, Japan and Turkey.

- Global CO2 emissions from combustion of oil products increased by only 1.1%, mainly due to a decrease in consumption in OECD countries of 0.9%, on average. In non-OECD countries, oil consumption increased in 2007 by 3.8%. China, India, Saudi Arabia and Brazil contributed most to this increase.

Total CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion in China increased in 2007 by 7.6%. CO2 emissions from fuel combustion in the European Union countries “EU-15” decreased by 1.9% in 2007; in 2006 the emissions remained almost constant."

REF - The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR)

Some Wikipedia Facts on the U.S. Department of Energy's Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR):

* The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is an EMERGENCY Crude Oil 'Store' maintained by the United States Department of Energy via mostly underground crude oil storage facilities...the SPR is Exclusively a CRUDE OIL Reserve, it is not a stockpile of refined petrochemical products, such as gasoline, diesel and kerosene

* The SPR is the World's Largest Emergency crude oil supply with CAPACITY to hold up to 727 million barrels of oil (fyi, the 2nd largest emergency supply of petroleum is Japan's with a 2003 reported capacity of 579 million barrels)...The reserve is stored at four sites on the Gulf of Mexico...the SPR's facilities COST close to $4 Billion to construct

* The United States started the SPR in 1975 with the objective of minimizing severe supply disruptions after oil supplies were cut off by OAPEC (OPEC plus Egypt and Siria) during the 1973-1974 Oil Embargo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisis)

* The current inventory is displayed on the SPR's web site. As of June 6th, 2008, the current inventory was 704.2 million barrels. At $130 a barrel, the SPR holds over $90 billion worth of Crude Oil...According to the CIA World Factbook, the United States imports a NET 12 million barrels of oil a day, so the SPR holds about 58 Days worth of Crude Oil Imports. (However, the maximum total withdrawal capability from the SPR is only 4.4 million barrels per day, making it a 160 + Days of Imported Supply)

* Between the U.S. government's SPR + supply estimates of the U.S. PRIVATE sector's 'protected' oil inventory, it is believed that the U.S. has about 115 days worth of 'protected' Crude Oil Imports Supply

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Petroleum_Reserve

------------------------------------------------------------------------

* FYI, on May 16, 2008, the Department of Energy announced it was canceling its daily oil shipments (70,000 barrels a day) into the SPR beginning in July, 2008. The U.S. hopes a temporary halt to SPR stockpiling will increase available crude supplies on the market and thereby reduce the cost of oil.

REF - Attack of the Foreign PEGs

The PEG ratio is just one of several commonly discussed stock valuation metrics. It's useful because the metric provides individual investors a quick and simple way to compare/contrast the valuations + relative attractiveness of different stocks.

The PE-G is simply a ratio between a stock's P/E multiple and its earnings Growth rate. So for example...if Cisco (CSCO) trades at a 20 P/E...and its 2008 calendar year EPS (earnings per share) are supposed to grow by 10% over 2007's EPS...then Cisco's PEG ratio is 2.

The Lower the PEG ratio the 'cheaper' the stock's valuation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
*Check out the International ETF PEG Ratio Table I found on Seekingalpha.com. It's a snapshot comparing the PEGs of different country ETFs (including the BRIC countries). NOTE that the 'G' in this case is actually representing 'GDP Growth':



*OF COURSE the U.S. (as represented by the IVV - the ishares S+P 500 Index ETF) looks ridiculously expensive on a 2008 GDP GROWTH BASIS...0.5% growth...lets not forget about the subprime-induced recession ! That being said, Imagine 2-3% U.S. GDP growth in 2009...all of a sudden the U.S. ETF makes for MUCH more of an attractive investment option.

*Cheapest PEGs - China, India, Russia and Brazil - CIRB !

FOREX Overview:
According to Wikipedia.com, "FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVES (also called FOREX reserves) in a strict sense are only the foreign currency deposits held by central banks and monetary authorities. However, the term foreign exchange reserves in popular usage (such as this list) commonly includes foreign exchange and gold, SDRs and IMF reserve position as this total figure is more readily available, however it is accurately deemed as official reserves or international reserves...These are assets of the central banks which are held in different reserve currencies such as the dollar, euro, yen and pound, and which are used to back its liabilities, e.g. the local currency issued, and the various bank reserves deposited with the central bank, by the government or financial institutions. Before the end of the gold standard, gold was the preferred reserve. Some nations are converting foreign exchange reserves into SOVEREIGN WEALTH FUNDS, which can rival foreign exchange reserves in size."
