Money & Business News @ CashBench

This short post highlights the side-bar on CashBench that you would have noticed by now. How relevant and updated are those news you see?

The global downturn right now is happening even though Asia did not start the ball rolling. Turn back the clock to 2007 and all we knew then was something called a ‘sub-prime’ crisis mushrooming in the United States. It was due to mortgage finance companies and banks extending loans even to those who want to buy a house but has questionable or negative credit history. Of course, that is distance memory now. All we are familiar with right now are job losses, cost cutting and depressed markets around the world.

With hindsight, some of us who have lost their jobs or money in the stock markets may have seen this coming if we keep ourselves updated with news not just by our local mass media but by the top money, business and finance news sources around the world.

CashBench helps by filtering relevant headlines and presenting them directly onto the side-bar to your right. In keeping with CashBench’s focus on Asia, these news are the latest feeds specifically focusing on Asia sent out by Channel NewsAsia and the Asian editions of Bloomberg, CNBC, Financial Times and the Wall Street Journal.
