December 24th, 2010 
Vijaianand Year 2010 is going to end in another few days. It has been an eventful year to many extent whether for an ordinary person or high official like US President Obama. It surely added some unforgettable chapters and interesting pages in the history book. 2010 especially have been very vulgur and cruel with natural disasters like earthquakes in many parts of the world, volcanic ash formation, unexpected snow storms in many european countries which really scares us with a thought that whether the world is really going to end soon.
Also many man made disasters like Deep water oil rig explotion, Coal mine explosions and many flight crashes. Apart from disasters this year was momentful starting from journalism aspect when wikileaks disclosed many US private cables to FIFA world cup win by Spain to Canada Winter Olympics extravagenza and so much more.
When comes to financial and money matters, it has been really roller coaster ride with major talks about European Zone credit crisis spreading from Greece to Ireland, US Unemployment still lingering at 9.8%, US stock market slowly creeping upward with bleak future growth and better growth in Asian markets. No one can surely predict the future trend very strongly in the current market condition.
