Golbug100 - Bank of China Limited (03988.HK) at HKD 3.840 (20 June) new holding

taking advantage in the weakness of banking sector due to Greek crisis and like the purchase the same day of HSBC Holdings Limited came from the proceeds of Fubon Bank takeover. Markets have subsequently moved lower due to European and USA debt ratings by Moodys, but long term investors should not be too worried. We feel that and exposure to the Chines banking sector is desirable long term.

Hi everyone, I am Diana Madison from HOLLYSCOOP.COM

Considering he owns nearly all of the media, I'm surprised we've even heard about this, but some protester was so angry at the Rupert Murdoch phone hacking scandal, he tried to throw a pie in his face.

Rupert's third wife Wendi Murdoch was on hand in the courtroom to support her husband. She even went out of her way to hit her husbands Attacker.

One of the lawmakers told Murdoch, "Your wife has a very good left hook." You go girl, now thats what I call a supportive wife.

Members of British Parliament have been holding a hearing for the News Corp. founder over the recent incident in which celebrities, politicians and victims' phones were allegedly hacked into by News of the World staff.

In regards to the case, the powerful mogul said,"This is the most humble day of my life." Murdoch and his son James, also told members that they  did not think that they were ultimately responsible for the phone-hacking scandal that brought down the News of the World tabloid.

Asked later if he would resign, Rupert Murdoch said no, adding that he was "the best person to clean this up." He truly is. For more information log on to Hollyscoop.com

Introducing SecureMyID from Checks Unlimited


SecureMyID™ Wallets and Accessories

Checks Unlimited has come out with a line of wallets and accessories that feature specialized RFID blocking materials. The new SecureMyID products from Checks Unlimited will help stop scanners from accessing credit card information.




Background

Your credit cards are vulnerable to theft every time you take them out of your home and use them at a store, restaurant or other business.  But there is a new type of credit card and identity theft that a large portion of the population is unaware of. It is called electronic pick pocketing and current statistics estimate nearly 140 million consumers are at risk.

Credit card issuers have been installing radio frequency identification (RFID) chips in credit cards for years.  This chip is basically an electronic tag embedded in the card that carries all the card’s information.  If your credit or debit card has a radio wave symbol on it then you are at risk.  This same technology is also found in drivers licenses and passports, and there’s even a version of it in your pet’s ear.  In fact, every U.S. passport issued since 2006 has a RFID chip in it. This has put a whole new spin on identity theft.

Although this technology is convenient if you're paying for gas, the tiny RFID chip can be read remotely without the need to physically swipe the card.  This means anyone with a skimmer (available for less than $100 on EBay) can also get your information just by walking by you.  It doesn't matter if your cards are in a wallet or purse because the skimmers can read through them. Thousands of travelers and consumers can fall victim to this new form of theft without even knowing it.  It’s not just travelers and consumers who are at risk, but anyone with government, military or even port of entry ID’s.  This is definitely a threat and because the chips are cheap (about $1.50 each), this technology is going to be become more and more commonplace.
