The idea of ​​the harmfulness of the use of mobile phones on health is not new. Despite this, the three largest telecom operators (Orange, SFR and Bouygues) simply take note of the announcement made by the CIRC. No specific communication operators is given for adapting to this trend of each idea. What efforts in research and development? Prevention? The questions remain unanswered.

The French Federation of Telecoms (FFT) is responsible to communicate to all stakeholders.In uncommuniqué published today, remember that the mobile operators' apply for several years, a precautionary approach by including headsets with each set of mobile phone, and informing users about precautions " as recommended by the Ministry of Health. Jean-Marie Danjou, Chief Operating Officer at Mobile College of TFF said that nearly 30 million copies of the information leaflet "my mobile and my health" from the government, have been distributed (in stores, boxes with bills …).

Nevertheless, consumers can make the choice of vigilance in learning about the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of mobile they use. This is an index that measures the maximum level of radio frequency emitted by the phone to the user, measured in watts per kilogram. The maximum SAR authorized in France is 2 watts per kilogram. To equipment sold in France ranges from 0.3 to 1.417 watt per kilogram according to manufacturers and aircraft configurations.For example, the Samsung S Galaxy displays the lowest in SAR 0.23 W / kg while the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro displays the highest SAR 1.61 W / kg. The Apple Iphone 4 presents meanwhile a SAR of 0.59 W / kg. Mobile vendors are bound by an obligation to display the national regulatory DAS of each model when they are sold.

Lefigaro.fr – The stock market crash experienced by the materials last week he requires investors to be more responsive?

Fabrice Cousté – We have entered a period in which electronic exchanges and automated to make faster and faster. This is not about to stop! Uncertainties about the euro and oil prices have created an appetite among investors for increasing trading currencies and commodities with a time horizon ranging from several days to a few seconds! Since early May, some hedge funds that had long positions in commodities and the euro came out massively causing a sharp drop of nearly ten dollars on oil. Meanwhile, the euro flirted with the $ 1.50 fell below the $ 1.45 and is now heading towards $ 1.40.These movements in raw materials could weigh on the CAC 40, including through lower oil stocks: Total, Technip and Vallourec.

What do you attribute the return of the volumes traded on the CAC 40 (six billion euro traded on average over the first two sessions of the week)?

These sessions illustrate the volatility of financial markets. And when I talk about financial markets, I do not take into account only the Paris stock exchange but also the Forex (currency market), which weighs 1000 times more than the CAC 40 (4000 billion dollars are traded daily on forex).

Is it out of raw materials?

The sharp drop ('sell off') shows that we are witnessing a situation of bubble that formed on certain assets (gold, silver, oil) and deflates even faster than many of the positions initiated at purchases were intended to hedge against a weakening greenback pronounced. This one covers the force, these positions are unwound or reversed, thus amplifying the plunge.

I would say that the recent plunge in oil is only a pause in a structural increase. I remain convinced that indeed the global economy is experiencing recovery, albeit slow, raw materials remain structurally high levels. Indeed, the double-digit growth in emerging countries may decrease, but these countries are on track for rapid expansion that will require more and more natural resources.We need to get used to the prospect of a sustained oil price at $ 100 a barrel and more in years to come. This new environment should promote market recovery for companies in "green business" (new energy, recycling, energy conservation).

What impact on portfolio management?

The sector rotations will be more frequent. In the short term we will also know where you have a new focus on defensive stocks such as telecoms and technology sectors expanding. As for values ​​that have real pricing power (the ability of firms to impose higher prices, Ed), the ability to pass the rising cost of raw materials in their products are preferable. This is where the champions of luxury such as LVMH and PPR values ​​but also with strong brands such as Danone and Essilor.

Conversely, investors should stay away from utilities and automobiles. Regarding the oil companies, I am negative court term and long-term positive. Good surprises are also possible for banks, but these are values ​​highly speculative and totally dependent on how the policies will manage the debt crisis of the Greek.

A more reactive wrong does not accentuate the lack of interest for individual stocks, considered a distribution medium or long term?

Today, it is true that individuals invest more to take risks but to protect themselves. They therefore turn to the massive gold or stone. The market environment has changed. It is uncertain therefore more complex to understand.But those who still believe the shares are able to adapt their trading, also passing through alternative platforms that will become the next referent of finance or by taking advantage of new business tools ("stop loss" orders intelligent programming strategy) that are available to them. Although the regulator wants to break the speed of trades and trading high frequency counter, it can not prevent the development of these platforms.

The Cac 40 barely exceed the 4200 points for three months. How do you explain it?

The revival of the Cac 40 depends mainly comeback banking shares. In view of its excellent results, BNP Paribas can return to a range between 70 and 75 euros and Societe Generale between 60 and 65 euros by the end of the year.The CAC 40 should not drop below 3800 points for corporate earnings in the first quarter are still excellent. Conversely, as the uncertainties regarding the recovery of Greece will not be lifted, the CAC 40 may not exceed the 4200 points.

Monday invited the Talk Orange-Le Figaro, Gilles Carrez unsurprisingly has announced that he would vote "no regrets" the end of the tax shield. "I have constantly warned against this scheme, said the rapporteur of the Finance Committee of the National Assembly. I made note after note to the candidate Nicolas Sarkozy during the election campaign. "For the UMP du Val-de-Marne," the tax cap was a bad answer to a bad tax that is the ISF.

"Political will to straighten the accounts"

Gilles Carrez is thus not unhappy "that we reform the ISF to make it finally acceptable and less confiscatory." He said this tax is "responsible for many of departures abroad" in recent decades. And proof of harm is that "all countries that have had one removed." This specialist public finances do not regret that reform is a development of the ISF."This tax is so symbolic that remove one year's presidential impossible," he admits, saying that such a decision can be made "in the beginning of term instant payday loan lenders."

Gilles Carrez also found "possible" return to a balance of public finances – is "a deficit that finances investment only and not as now operating expenditure – within five years. This golden rule, which is also part of the draft supplementary budget presented by the Cabinet tomorrow, "foster the political will to rectify the accounts," he said.

He who is temporarily deprived of employment should be encouraged to return to work. "
