Target: US and India-compare and contrast





Target-India





Target USA

Compare and Contrast:
The Target-India website, offers interesting about the retail stores in Bangalore. But it does not as many different areas to navigate as the US site. By navigating through the sites, you could see the differences. I could say the site for India is very standard, and the one for US, is very complete, different, full of information, history, links, images, and among others things. It is not about which one is more pretty, but about what each one has to offer the person navigating through each one. I could see that Target-India site, does not offer: investors information to see the performance of the stores as for the stock market. The similarities are among the colors, design, and for links like: About us, FAQs, Careers, and a lot of informative news on the site about the stores.

Euro Holds Steady
posted in: cnnMoney (June 18,2010)

The dollar and the Euro.
The dollar had little change against the European currency, euro, that posted a second consecutive weekly gain and is at 3-week high.

Market: after a notorious 4 year low early last week near $ 1.888, the euro has been gaining ground. This has given the euro a 3 week high.
BP's current concern has been very important for the investor. '' Earlier this week the company canceled its dividend for the rest of the year and agreed to contribute with $20 billion to an escrow account to cover damages and liabilities related to the spill''.
The stock market will still be driven by the investors sentiments, as it has been happening. The euro could go higher, but the would be a surprise considering the currently debt crisis in that region.

Target's performance

Target corporation, has a performance and news about finance like any other company. A corporation's increase or decrease depends a lot on the performance the company has. Here we are talking about profits, stock falls and raises, new things coming out, offers, and among other interesting projects. For example, The board of Directors of Target Corp (NYSE:TGT), has declared a quarterly dividend of 25 cents per common share, a 47 percent increase from the prior quarterly rate of 17 cents per common share. Target's Gregg Steinhafel, chairman, president and CEO,said: ''Because We expect to continue to return excess cash to our shareholders through a combination of regular dividends and opportunistic share repurchase,we believe it is appropriate to increase the amount returned the quarterly dividend''.

Target's goal and commitment is around the growth, innovation and new opportunities for the next ten years. Target's increase can bring positive things to the economic areas of the country. As a company, looking forward to have innovations and growth, is part of interesting news. Thinking on the next 30 days, a continuous growth like this can positive affect the stock market, or at least be part of the good news given about a excellent day in the stock market.
