US strong, rest of the world riding the bear says LJM Developments CEO

Friday, September 5th, 2014


Burlington, Canada (PRWEB) September 01, 2014

The United States currency, stock market and real estate markets are showing clear signs of progress states Liaquat Mian of LJM Developments in his recent blog entry. The global market as a whole is still a precarious place to be, but on the whole, the North American region is stable and on track to become a bull market by June of next year (Stockwatch by Edmond Jackson, Aug 29 2014).

The US is seeing signs consistent with a recovery, posits Mian, if you look at all three major financial and economic indicators; currency, real estate and the stock markets. The US dollar has rebounded globally (Finances Forex Analysis by H.S. Borji, Aug 28, 2014) showing strong growth against many major currencies including the Euro, Yen and the Pound. The stock market has experienced fluctuations and will continue to do so, Mian believes until after the Dow Jones breaks through the 18,000 mark. Even though the housing and real estate sectors looked slow to respond in 2014, part of the delayed reaction is due to the slow start to job growth explains Mian, but underlying pressures of built up demand (National Association of Realtors | Walter Molony, May 15 2014) and lower inventory will gradually show through in 2015. On the whole, Canada and the US should expect a healthy period of growth through 2015 according to Mian.

However, the rest of the world is still on unstable ground. It is obvious to many that the unrest in places like the Middle East, the Ebola crisis in Africa, and the changing leadership in South American countries is driving uncertainty in emerging markets, says Liaquat.

Even in areas like Dubai, a metropolis that has a healthy investment environment, investors are looking for safer markets to invest into explains Mian – with a projected $ 175 billion USD available for investment and almost one-third slated for the North American real estate market. Part of this is because the underlying fundamentals of the Dubai market are expected to cause a recession and downturn by 2016, postulates Mian.

In currency and interest rate markets, Mian projects the US dollar to remain strong, the Euro to drop below $ 1.30 USD, Canadian and Australian dollars to remain stable where they are, and the Sterling to rise to $ 1.60 USD, making a small gain. In most western markets, Mian projects interest rates to continue to remain where they are through 2020, in order to assure the recovery.

Mian believes that market fundamentals show the path for investors lay in the North American market through 2015, in stocks and real estate.

Back to School with New Emergency Mobile App from World Wide Security works throughout U.S.

Monday, August 4th, 2014


Garden City, New York (PRWEB) July 25, 2014

World Wide Security Group, is providing all customers with one mobile security app. The new app, Life Button 24 was developed in-house by security tech team members to bring assistance to anyone who feels threatened, at a press of a button, on their phones. Life Button 24 provides personal protection to all our customers when they are on the go, away at college, in their homes or places of business. Anywhere across the U.S., 24 hours a day, stated Ken Mara, President and CEO of World Wide Security Group, adding, We felt this service was too valuable to charge our customers, so we decided to give it to them for free.

World Wide Security has been providing security to homes and businesses since 1979, and now with Life Button 24, protection is extended to its most valuable asset, the customer and their families. The app features two-way voice, GPS locating when app is engaged, 24-hour monitoring, silent mode for dispatchers to listen in, video clips and photos sent to dispatchers as events unfold. With the press of a button our customers can summon emergency assistance when and where they need it, added Mara.

The app can be used by anyone, but is limited to one free app per family or business. Additional apps are available at discounted rates to their clients below the rates being offered to the public. Registration to customize a response for each user takes minutes and protection begins immediately. Many of our customers have children going off to college in the fall. This is a great product for students, real estate agents, lone workers, business owners and shop owners who need to summon emergency assistance. This can be done on the one device everyone has on them at all times, their mobile phones. This is a much different service than calling 911. Many people are hesitant to call for help until it is too late. Life Button 24 can provide you assistance and connect you with or central station or 911 when a situation demands it, explained Ken Mara.

Life Button 24 will be offered free to all customers of World Wide Security/GC Alarm and member companies of World Wide Security.
