Unemployment number at 7.5%

May 3, 2013 - 09:26 | admin

The unemployment number came down to 7.5%. The Euro/USD took a dive into the 1.3050 area. So, does this continuous decline in unemployment cap any Euro advances? The FED has already said that once unemployment reaches 6.5%, the $85 Billion in bond buying per month will start to taper off. And, when that happens, interest rates will start to rise and the USD will become more valuable.

The next several years are going to be quite interesting. I predict 2014 to be the year that our interest rates start to rise, and the Euro starts a sustained decline.

What is the Zend Optimizer?

The Zend Optimizer is one of the most popular PHP plugins for performance-improvement, and has been available without charge, since the early days of PHP 4. It improves performance by scanning PHP's intermediate code and passing it through multiple Optimization Passes to replace inefficient code patterns with more efficient code blocks. The replaced code blocks perform exactly the same operations as the original code, only faster.

In addition to improving performance, the Zend Optimizer also enables PHP to transparently load files encoded by the Zend Guard.

The Zend Optimizer is a free product available for download from Zend Technologies. Zend Technologies also developed the PHP scripting engine, known as the Zend Engine.
