Kohler Co. Enters Engine Joint Venture in China
May 2007
KOHLER, Wis., USA – May 3, 2007 – Kohler Co. has created a joint venture company between Kohler Engines and YinXiang Ltd., for the development, manufacture, marketing, sale and distribution of general-purpose gasoline engines.
The joint venture, Kohler-YinXiang Ltd, based in Chongqing, China will provide Kohler an increased global presence in the worldwide small gasoline engine market and establishes a new cost effective manufacturing location to support the Kohler engine business.
“Kohler has been seeking a strategic partner over the last two years to help us grow our presence in the small engine market and enhance our product offerings,” said Paul Bartelt, President-Kohler Engines.
As far as I am concerned, companies that go overseas to manufacture and bring their products here to sell are not American Companies and should have to pay the same import fees as foreign companies do. Why should I buy their product anyway, they put Americans out of work.

Management fees on private investment pools?
What typically are management fees (both management and incentive fees) for pooled investment vehicles, such as private equity pools and limited partnerships? I read in Wikipedia the “2 and 20″ rule, with 2% management fee on total assets and 20% of total return, for both the Hedge Fund and the Venture Capital definition. However, I was not certain that was universal, or just what Wikipedia contributors came in with. Thank you.
“2 and 20″ is a pretty standard fee structure among hedge funds and private investment vehicles. The management fee is used to cover operating expenses, while the incentive fee is used to pay the fund manager based on performance.

Davis ny Venture Funds – Venture Funds
Goldman Sachs Mid Cap Value Instl (GSMCX) AND Davis NY Venture Y (DNVYX)) ARE THEY GOOD MUTUAL FUNDS??
ARE THEY ACTIVE MANAGED? AND WHAT THAT DOES MEAN? ARE ACTIVE MANAGED BETTER THAN INDEX?? THANKS
They are ok if you are into mutual funds. Problem is, mutual funds bring at best mediocre returns. If you have them in an IRA for the long haul though, for some it is better than managing your own money.
Actively managed is simply conveying the fact that they are not tied to representative portions of shares in their basket and leads you to believe that they move in and out of stocks on an active basis rather than quarterly etc. It can be good or bad depending on who is on the management team. Are they better than index funds? Not really, both give you a mediocre return or loss depending on the sectors performance that they specialize in.
What does Economic Venture means – Economic Venture
Is this economic problem really as bad as it seems?
How does this make you feel?
As I write this, there is a man sweeping garbage into a trash can on my street. He has earphones on and he is humming loudly to what sounds from my window like Andrea Bocelli. He is smiling and has a spring in his step as he makes his way down the street.
A gorgeous sight, so refreshing in its simplicity at a time when some people are afraid they’re going to have to drive the same car for more than two years and tarnish their image in the neighborhood.
If there is anything resembling an advantage to our country’s current financial crisis, it is that you will begin to see the truth emerge in your own and other people’s lives. In many ways, this economy is a mirror and it’s your chance to take a hard look. Like it or not.
There is nothing like being forced into nitty-gritty simplicity to tell you more about yourself and your life than you could ever imagine. This is a time when you will find out what your marriage is really made of. It is when you will see how loving a parent you really are. It will show you who your true friends are. It is when your capacity for happiness will be tested. It will give you a chance to see your default temperament. It will expose what defines you and how you are in the world.
Much of this came to mind, believe it or not, while I caught a rerun of an episode of Sex and the City. Very early in the series, the character of Charlotte had a grand idea or image of what her dream man – and hence, life — would be. In this particular episode, Carrie’s narration tells us that Charlotte’s date works for Bear Stearns. I had to laugh. Nothing against Bear Stearns, but I marvel at how much the image conjured up by a Wall Street guy has changed over the last decade.
I recently read on a message board that a woman broke up with her fiancé after he was laid off from his Wall Street job. No more cool millions, no more engagement. Now there’s a double whammy for a man, huh?
It all makes me wonder how this economy will affect our societal “norms” as time goes on. I venture to say that some of the worst ones will fly in the face of those who bought into them. Or maybe I’m just being hopeful.
For example, what does this economic downturn mean for the gold-diggers who had hoped to stake a claim on one of those high earners? Or for the women who had already snagged one and have now seen their net worth dwindle into the danger zone? And what about the men who sought the money and power in hopes of building material wealth to attract these one-dimensional relationships? How will they all define or redefine themselves?
In the case of Charlotte, a failed marriage to a doctor was her comeuppance. She even compared that marriage to a “fake Fendi” in one episode. Always a believer in idealistic love, she made a shift with regard to appearances when she met a man to whom she was unexplicably attracted despite the fact that he was bald and ate with his mouth full. Surely even her fictional self would tell you this was a meaningful shift that led her to real wealth.
What shows up in your reflection? What preconceived notions might you challenge in order to not only survive the downturn but eventually thrive? Is there finger-pointing going on in your relationship or have you teamed for a real solution? Are you hung up in ego and being stubbornly petulant or have you thoughtfully considered your options and created a transition plan?
And, of course, there’s the material aspect of things. Can you even wrap your head around the idea of taking your possessions down a notch? If not, this is the time to really examine why. What’s at stake for you? Pride? Status? Having to actually feel your loneliness?
Last weekend, in observance of Columbus Day, I watched a PBS special on Italian-Americans and it showed the simplicity of life in those old neighborhoods. Fresh vegetable, bread and meat trucks came through so families could buy what they needed. The immigrants were so happy to be here, reveling in freedom, working hard to build something.
We can’t go back. But we can take away something from their experience.
The guy cleaning the street to the sounds of Andrea Bocelli seemed to really get that.
Yet you have the internet and time for yahoo answers?
We retirees on a low fixed income, who had already simplified our lives down to the bone, are probably going to do all right, since we have many free or inexpensive pleasures and don’t have unrealistic illusions to be shattered. Those who had built a house of cards on materialistic ambitions and overextended credit are going to have a very hard time of it. Some will learn better attitudes, and some will stay miserable.
Don’t make assumptions about other people. Many use the free internet connection in the public library, and many have free time because they are unemployed.

Our Future With Our New President?
I’m sure that everyone is wondering what is going to happen to the economy, jobs and most importantly…their business now that President Obama is in office. What does the new president administration hold for our future? With president Obama appointing Karen Mill’s to head up the SBA…quite a few thing’s may be in store for us.
Many wonder exactly how qualified Mills is to run the SBA given she is a venture capitalist. Well let’s see…she was a partner/director of Solera Capital a venture capital firm, a Harvard business school graduate and president of private equity business firm MMP Group. It sound’s to me like she just may have the credentials that this country needs right now.
Marketing consultant Scott Testa argues that Mill’s while being a venture capitalist is naturally a risk taker and that just may be what the SBA needs…to take some new risk’s.
What are some of your thoughts on how Karen Mills will do in heading up the SBA?
I don’t care whyat the usurper does, unless it is terminal for him.

How long does it take for Criss Angel’s magic kit to arrive?
I ordered Criss Angel’s magic kit about two weeks ago and I was wondering how long it took for it to arrive.Because on the site,it didn’t say how many business days/days it would take to be delivered.
Usually orders take 10 days to two weeks. Can’t you go to the web site and give them the ORDER NUMBER (you did write it down.. right?) an ask THEM since only THEY would know how long it can take.. there is no way anyone on Answers can know, especially since most of us are over 10 years old and have never ordered a Magic Kit from Criss Angel or any other magician.

What is the difference between Venture Capital and Angel Investors?
Typically, angel investors provide ‘seed’ financing, usually in amounts below say $200K. They are often private individuals who may affiliate in a network. They help people get started with the initial idea and prototype for a product. Angel level investors may get interested in helping small traditional business get started as well as hot tech companies.
Venture Capital is usually a larger investment, in the several million $ range, made by a VC firm or fund. It’s a more formally structured process and the VC firm typically has a standard procedure for reviewing deals, taking equity positions, and managing investments by providing expertise on the board of directors. VC firms look for high risk, high leverage, fast growth companies that will pay off 10x or 100x on the investment.
Business angel russia – Business angel
will russia red army destroy northern china or southern china?
WILL RUSSIAN RED ARMY DESTROY NORTHERN CHINA OR SOUTHERN CHINA?
ACCORDING TO CIA REPORT IF RUSSIA GOES TO WAR WITH CHINA THEN ABOUT 400,000,000 CHINESE WILL DIE.
RUSSIA WILL USE NUCLEAR WEAPONS ON CHINA EITHER ON MILITARY BASES OR CIVILIAN TARGET.
ALL 2,000,000,000 CHRISTIANS WHO READ THE BIBLE KNOWS THAT RUSSIA WILL COMMIT SUICIDE IN JERUSALEM, ISRAEL BECAUSE IT IS STATED IN EZEKIEL 38 & 39 OF THE BIBLE.
BASE ON THE ABOVE QUESTION WILL RUSSIA BOMB NORTHERN CHINA OR SOUTHERN CHINA WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS?
IF RUSSIA DROP NUCLEAR WEAPONS ON NORTHERN CHINA THEN RUSSIAN PEOPLE LIVING NEAR CHINESE BORDER WILL ALSO DIE.
HENCE, IT LOOK LIKE RUSSIA WILL DROP NUCLEAR WEAPONS ON SOUTHERN CHINA.
SOUTHERN CHINA HAS ABOUT 600,000,000 CHINESE PEOPLE WHO BELONG TO 6 EGYPTIAN TRIBES
OF THE 600,000,000 CHINESE PEOPLE IN SOUTHERN CHINA IT APPEAR THAT ABOUT 400,000,000 CHINESE PEOPLE OF EGYPTIAN TRIBES WILL DIE WITHIN ONE HOUR IF IT IS A NUCLEAR WAR.
IF IT IS A CONVENTIONAL WAR THEN IT WILL TAKE ABOUT ONE YEAR TO KILL 400,000,000 CHINESE PEOPLE.
NOW THAT CHINESE GOVERNMENT KNOWS THE TRUTH SHE MUST REMOVE 400,000,000 CHINESE PEOPLE OF SOUTHERN CHINA TO SAVE SANCTUARY IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD AND MORE REALISTIC IT IS AUSTRALIA.
CHINA AND AUSTRALIA GOVERNMENT COULD SIGN A SECRET AGREEMENT WHEREBY AUSTRALIA WILL ALLOW ALL 400,000,000 CHINESE PEOPLE TO LIVE IN AUSTRALIA UNTILL THE SECOND COMMING OF LORD JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD TO JERUSALEM, ISRAEL AROUND 2020 AD.
CHINA HAS ABOUT 10 YEARS TO PLAN THIS EVACUATION WITHOUT A HITCH.( 2010-2020 AD )
400,000,000 PEOPLE DIVIDED BY 40 PERSONS EQUAL TO 10,000,000 TRAWLERS.
400,000,000 PEOPLE DIVIDED BY 10 PERSONS EQUAL TO 40,000,000 TRAWLERS
IF CHINESE GOVERNMENT WANT TO PROVIDE COMFORT THEN IT IS 10,000,000 TRAWLERS.
IF CHINESE GOVERNMENT PLAN AN EMERGENCE EVACUATION THEN IT IS 40,000,000 TRAWLERS.
400,000,000 PEOPLE DIVIDED BY 3,000,000 SQUARE MILES OF LAND EQUAL TO 133 PERSON PER SQUARE MILE.
IF THE AUSTRALIA GOVERNMENT AND CHINESE GOVERNMENT PLAN THE REFUGEES CAMP PROPERLY THEN 133 CHINESE REFUGEES WILL OCCUPY ABOUT 1 SQUARE MILE.
IT IS CLEAN AND HYGENIC FOR THE 400,000,000 CHINESE PEOPLE.
AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT COULD PROVIDE 10,000,000 OR 40,000,000 TENTS OR SHIP CONTAINERS TO HOUSE THOSE 400,000,000 CHINESE PEOPLE.
CHINESE PEOPLE ARE SELF SUPPORTING PEOPLE WHEREBY THEY RUN BUSINESS TO SURVIVE IN ANY CONDITION.
WHEN LORD JESUS CHRIST THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD RETURN TO JERUSALEM, ISRAEL IN THE 2020 AD, HE WILL COMMAND HIS 400,000,000 ANGELS TO LOOK AFTER EACH AND EVERY 400,O00,000 CHINESE PEOPLE IN AUSTRALIA.
THE WAY THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT PLAN THE REFUGEES CAMP WILL ONE DAY TURN INTO THE WORLD LARGEST SHOPPING CENTRES OF THE WORLD.
CHINESE PEOPLE ARE VERY GOOD ARE BUILDING DOUBLE STOREY SHOP LOT.
IMAGINE ABOUT 40,000,000 DOUBLE STOREY SHOP LOT IN AUSTRALIA LOCATED IN 3,000,000 SQUARE MILES OF LAND.
AMERICAN BUILD 5,000,000 HOUSE PER YEAR THEREFORE IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 8 YEARS TO BUILD 40,000,000 SHOP LOT IN AUSTRALIA.
CHINESE FOREIGN RESERVE OF US$ 2,000,000,000 IN AMERICAN RESERVE BANK WILL BE USE TO FINANCE THIS PROJECT.
I AM SURE BY 2020 AD, ABOUT 40,000,000 SHOP LOTS WILL BE BUILD IN AUSTRALIA FOR THE 400,000,000 CHINESE PEOPLE.
22,000,000 AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE WILL HAVE JOBS AND GOOD BUSINESS FOR THE NEXT 10 TO 20 YEARS.
22,000,000 TOTAL POPULATION OF AUSTRALIA.
1% 220,000 UPPER CLASS OF AUSTRALIA
24% 5,200,000 MIDDLE CLASS OF AUSTRALIA
75% 16,500,000 LOWER INCOME GROUP OF AUSTRALIA
=================================================
22,140,000 THE TOTAL POPULATION OF AUSTRALIA
=================================================
AS TIME GOES BY ALL THOSE IN THE LOWER INCOME GROUP WILL BECOME MILLIONAIRES, THE MIDDLE CLASS WILL BECOME BILLIONAIRES AND UPPER CLASS WILL BECOME TRILLIONARIES.
US$ 5,000,000,000,000 GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT OFCHINA
US$ 10,000,000,000,000 PRIVATE WEALTH OF CHINA
US$ 15,000,000,000,000 NATURAL RESOURCES OF CHINA
============================================
US$ 30,000,000,000,000 TOTAL WEALTH OF CHINA?
=============================================
IF CHINA DECIDED TO TRANSFER ALL HER WEALTH TO AUSTRALIA THEN IT SHOULD BE ABOUT US$ 30,000,000,000,000 (US$ 30 TRILLION DOLLARS)
CHINA WILL BECOME THE NUMBER ONE CONOMIC POWER BY 2050.
THIS MEAN THAT WITHIN 40 YEARS CHINA ECONOMY WILL BE WORTH ABOUT US$ 120 TRILLION TO US$ 1,200 TRILLION OR US$ 1,2 QUADRILLION DOLLARS?
CURRENT THE EUROPEAN UNION TOTAL WEALTH IS US$ 120 TRILLION?
FINALLY, IF THE AUSTRLIAN GOVERNMENT CAN SEE THE FUTURE THEN THE 400,000,000 CHINESE PEOPLE COULD TURN ALL AUSTRALIANS INTO MILLIONAIRES, BILLIONAIES AND TRILLIONAIRES?
WE WORK BECAUSE OF THE MONEY?
GOD BLESS CHINA AND AUSTRALIA.
