\x0a\x0aPlans for a new capital were first drawn up 20 years ago, but officials only gave them serious consideration after the 2003 earthquake that devastated the south-eastern city of Bam and killed an estimated 40,000 people. Experts warn that Tehran sits on at least 100 faultlines - including one nearly 60 miles long - and that many of its buildings would not survive a major quake.\x0a\x0a

\x0a \x0a \x0a The Recession and the ‘Paradox of Thrift’ - Economix\x0a
\x0a\x0aWhile it is conceivable that a few percentage points’ decline in consumption could cause a many-fold reduction in work hours, it seems more likely that the reduced consumer spending was mainly a reaction to layoffs and hours cuts. The roots of this recession go a lot deeper than the paradox of thrift.\x0a\x0a

\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a\x0a…Will the bull market continue through the month of October? Anyone asking themselves that question might also want to ask a couple of other important questions.\x0a
\x0a\x0aThe easy money already has been made. Anyone who is only now considering an investment back into the stock market is late to the game. Smart money investors wait for Johnny-come-lately’s to enter the market again, and then they sell into those weak hands.\x0a
\x0a\x0aThen, the cycle repeats itself when the market declines. The weak hands who bought at the peak end up selling right back to smart money investors when the market troughs. This is the way of the world, this is how Wall Street has always been and unfortunately, it will always be that way. Smaller investors, as a group, will never learn. \x0a
