The reporting procedures that have come under fire have been part of Bloomberg LP information gathering activities since the 1990s, and the use of typical terminal history is at the center of the controversy.

Senate Bill On Internet Taxes Passes First Hurdle

Recently, the United States Senate passed a bill concerning Internet tax collection. Online retailers currently don't have to collect sales tax from every single sale. If a person places an order from a state where that business doesn't have any physical presence, then the company doesn't need to collect taxes. Unfortunately, states lose out on billions of dollars in taxes because of this loophole.

An Overview Of The Apple Inc, Quarterly Earnings

Apple Inc. released its quarterly earnings statement on April 23, 2013. In simple terms, the company beat one expectation but fell short on another. Most analysts expected the tech company to earn $10.00 per share on revenues of $42.33 billion. Apple's profits declined for the first time in the last 10 years, though. Luckily, the company is still worth putting money into, despite its mediocre performance this past quarter. Investors shouldn't count the company out yet.

How Goldman Sachs Beat The Estimates

The S&P 500 Is The Likely Winner Of The Crisis In Cyprus

Some investors know that there is a certain potential element of opportunity lurking in almost every dark cloud. In the case of the recent restructuring of the Cypriot banking sector, this is most certainly the case. As the Cyprus banks reopen and money gradually trickles past the currency controls imposed to prevent capital flight, funds have to find a home somewhere else. Even if it takes months to gradually extract one's deposits, it is going to happen.
