Is there a good site that lists upcoming earnings announcements, by date, for the next few weeks?

However, since 2003, Iran has required payment in euros for exports to Asia and Europe. In 2006, Putin announced a plan to start selling gas and oil to Europe in petro-rubles - as he said, selling oil to Europe in dollars makes as much sense as the US selling oil to Canada and demanding rubles! Venezuela and Norway are also threatening to move away from the US dollar for their oil exports. So how much longer will the dollar be the reserve currency? What effect will a move away from the petro-dollar have on the US economy? What can or will the US do about it? And would such a shift be good or bad for the world in general?

Is there any truth in the idea that it is not, in fact, 'federal' at all (any more than Federal Express) and is, in fact, privately owned? Sat, 05 Apr 2008 09:44:36 -0400
