In what was deemed as the last saving grace to save Detroit’s auto industry, the auto bailout is history as talks for dramatic salary increases to be in line with Japan’s auto industry had the United Auto Makers refuse the deal. So with that part of the auto bailout play layout unaccounted for, the Senate rejected the bailout plan, failing to acquire the 60 required votes to approve the financial aid to Chrysler and General Motors.

So with this development, the future of these two giant car manufacturers of Detroit are looking grimmer. They have declared that they could be weeks from closing shop, leaving Ford which did not request for financial assistance at this time but may soon follow their footsteps if business does not pick up.

In the end, the doom of the U.S. auto industry may be pointed towards the greedy and selfish desires of their labor and manpower resources, something that will surely be monumental. But they are not entirely to blame. They have to work to survive and the drastic cuts in wages seem to be too much for them as the cost of living for these people needs to be satisfied.

But don’t close the door just yet. We saw the same scenario before when the financial bailout was being made. Expect a new round of auto bailout talks since the U.S. is surely not going to allow their auto industry to just drop dead.

Unlike the big three (General Motors, Chevrolet and Ford), Citigroup was given a financial bailout assistance worth $20 billion as the government lent a helping hand to save the stricken bank from billions of dollars that could have totally been catastrophic. Stocks reacted as well as Dow Jones industrial shot up 300 percent.

And so the proper selection of which companies to help out continues but there is still a lot of work to do as far as strengthening the financial system of the United States is concerned. There are more companies outside the big three automobile manufacturers out there drowning and if the lifesavers are not sent out to pick the proper companies that really need help, chances are this financial bailout strategy is entirely useless and futile.

Stocks may be up today but who knows what tomorrow would bring. We have seen this trend before. Stocks rise after any enticing development comes up. Would this trend continue or follow suit the previous spikes in the endangered trading and finance system of the United States of America.

“With these transactions, the U.S. government is taking the actions necessary to strengthen the financial system and protect U.S. taxpayers and the U.S. economy,” the three agencies said in a joint statement. “We will continue to use all of our resources to preserve the strength of our banking institutions, and promote the process of repair and recovery and to manage risks.”

Is there really something wrong with the financial and banking system today? Going into recession, it is apparent that most countries have been exhausting all means to be able to try and cope up with the impending crisis. However, the fact remains, is the financial system really to blame?

Perhaps it would be best to take them one by one. Each nation has its own policy as far as managing finances and funds of their respective economies. However, though one system may change from the others, it is obvious that general cooperation and agreements can be the only thing that can save the world from potent recession and economic breakdown. So who is to blame?

Trade barriers have been up in most countries and for the next 12 months at the least, these will be torn down. The decision is aimed at strengthening the weakening economy and hopefully it can help the global crisis where financial bailout plans and interest rate slashes have obviously done nothing to change the whole thing.

Will the trade barriers agreed upon by the meeting at the G20 summit of the world leaders make a difference? Keep your fingers crossed. After this, a lot of other issues have to be tackled since a lot are still critically unsolved.

The joint efforts released by the World Bank in lending approximately billions of dollars are following a certain trend; they are good for only a day. Each time a new financial bailout plan was announced and released, stocks and the world market would normally take a sudden rise. Take a look once again the day after and you will find that reality starts to set in and perhaps become worst than what it was originally in.

It is obvious that most investors are not keen on keeping their assets and cash in stocks or equities. There is no telling what the future holds as far as investments are concerned. But one thing that is for sure, they will cash out and perhaps choose to keep their cash under their pillows. The erratic run of the economy is really something that pushes people to safeguard their cash rather than gamble on an otherwise faltering economy.

With that said, there are two choices, buy stocks while they are in a record low and hope for the best or simply wait for the economy to stabilize. The first option is of course for people who can spare money and are willing to take the risk. Otherwise, set aside your money and wait for the right time to start investing so that you reap some worthy dividends in the end.

Before, they called it the financial bailout, the much heralded branding for the financial mess that seems to has plagued the whole world in light of the shortage in funds and over-lending that has seen most banks and financial institutions dance with potential bankruptcy which has already claimed a couple of big names today.

With that said, we see that an influx of cash reserves playing in the trillions of dollars or more are being done. But is it really the wise decision to make? Stock traders are rejoicing since the 2-day rise in stocks which went as high as 11% seems to be signs of good things to come. However, did we not see the same trend when the first installment financial bailout was planned and implemented?

The problem has gone as far as affecting Europe and Asia. We have seen the threat of recession and global financial disaster and from the looks of it, it is really imminent. So how do we avoid it?

Save and spend wisely. Much of the bad debts stem from people who simply look beyond their income. We all want large investments in cars and homes but we should know the capacity to pay and not forge documents required just to attain such a luxury.

Put money in safe investments or lockups. No one can say when their income or cash reserves will be used up. People are investing a lot but it would be wise to take your time and study where you will put your money. Do not be fooled by figures. Check out historical data and the credibility of the institution where you are placing your assets.

Lastly, make your own analysis of the economy today. We see different opinions, positive and negative, regarding the world economic situation. For sure, each of us have our own presumptions. Listen to it and do what you think is right. There is no consistent reason and depending on your lifestyle, it would be best to follow your philosophy.
