信貸市場仍對銀行業心存疑慮有件事情叫人想不清楚。各國政府已經采取了前所未有的經濟刺激計劃，向銀行體係注入了上千億美元，還實施了一係列的方案來清理銀行業資產負債表，並提供融資渠道，但為何信用違約掉期(CDS)市場還是如此懼怕銀行業呢？一言以蔽之，市場、至少是信貸市場仍對銀行業缺乏信心。

美國股市還有反彈空間嗎？自股市3月9日觸底以來，主要股指的反彈幅度至少都達到了20%。這輪回升行情形成得非常迅速，股指走勢或多或少都出現了急轉，投資者因此也以謹慎的目光關注著這次反彈，並注意到：鑒於金融類股和非必需消費品類股領漲這一事實，空頭回補應是反彈的原因之一。
4月份伊始，在股市連續兩天上漲之後，投資策略師開始認同這次反彈。資產管理[

真是左右為難，我到底該如何選擇國籍？(組圖)無憂博客
夕子/一直以來，關於改不改國籍，是一個很讓人為難的選擇。
移民加拿大，連續住滿三年以上就有資格申請加拿大公民。最近夕子也麵臨這個選擇，是保留中國國籍、延續加拿大永久居民的身份；還是放棄中國國籍，入加籍？ 在雙重國籍的問題上，中國的法律不像其他許多國家和地區那樣往往都是采[
