Hypo Venture Capital Headlines: Forget in-depth financial analysis- Now even Wall Street is turning to Twitter for clues on the stock market

Twitter may have finally found a real way to make money.
For years, analysts have predicted that the real value of the social networking service doesn’t lie in serving advertising to users, but rather in serving up millions of points of real-time data to anyone who can wring useful intelligence out of it.
A new paper published by an Indiana University professor, combined with recent practices on Wall Street, suggest that Twitter may be a goldmine of valuable financial information.

Hypo Venture Capital Zurich Headlines: Where the world’s wealthiest clients are — and will be

The cumulative wealth of the world’s richest households will more than double, to $202 trillion over the next ten years, according to a study conducted by the Deloitte Center for Financial Services and Oxford Economics.
Based on data from 25 developed and developing economies, the number of households in those countries with more than $1 million in wealth will increase from 37,978 at the end of last year to 65,521 by 2020. Their wealth holdings, which include financial assets (stocks, bonds and other investments,), as well as non-financial assets (primary residences, durables, business equity and other assets), will more than double from $92 trillion to $202 trillion.
The projections are based on a breakdown of current wealth holdings, projected global growth rates, interest rates, asset prices, and investing patterns of the countries in question. The estimates are based on data from the Oxford Economics Global Model.
Not surprisingly, fast-growing emerging economies such as China, Brazil and India will experience the fastest growth in millionaires’ wealth. For example, the number of millionaire households in China is projected to grow from 1.312 million to 2.5 million by 2020 — and the total wealth they hold will rise from $1.67 trillion to $8.24 trillion.

Hypo Venture Capital Zurich Headlines: Poll: Economy fears temper Obama’s bin Laden bump

WASHINGTON — In the days after Barack Obama ordered the successful mission to kill Osama bin Laden, the president’s approval rating on foreign policy issues reached an all-time high, even as public opinion regarding his handling of the economy sunk to the lowest point of his administration, according to a new NBC News poll.

The survey shows a mixed picture for Obama, whose overall job-approval rating was bumped higher by a modest three points after the al-Qaida leader’s death was announced late Sunday.
What has changed for the president since the raid at bin Laden’s compound: The number of respondents seeing Obama as a strong leader and a good commander in chief has spiked, and public opion for his handling of the war in Afghanistan jumped to an all-time high.
But here’s what hasn’t changed: Just a third of Americans believe the country is headed in the right direction; less than four in 10 approve of Obama’s handling of the U.S. economy; and nearly 70 percent think the economy will get worse or stay the same in the next year.
“This is a poll that should both fortify the president and frighten the president as he looks ahead to re-election,” said Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted this survey with Republican pollster Bill McInturff.
Obama’s overall job-approval rating stands at 52 percent, a three-point increase from an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released a month ago. Forty-one percent say they disapprove of the president’s job, representing a drop of four points.
Looking ahead to next year’s presidential election, 45 percent said they would probably vote for Obama (a two-point rise from April), versus 30 percent who would probably vote for the eventual Republican nominee (an eight-point decrease).
