share prices of many companies on the exchanges have skyrocketed during the past year. Many traded at record valuations, often 80,90 or 100 times their projected earnings.
The high valuations have been a boon for the companies and their major shareholders. The market boom has helped also encourage a wave of Chinese companies that had been listed in the United states to arrange stock buyouts and delist from American exchanges
then relist in China, where stock valuations are much higher. In the past few months, some well-known Chinese companies have announced plans to buy back shares

#Contactless Payments Advancing into Market Just recently Snap chat has enabled online money transfers with a tap.
Contactless payments are becoming a clearer possibility day by day. With mobile payments, becoming a convenient future option for most merchants,
small businesses are open to adopting this varied way of money processing. Photo credit: Visa. comexploring Mobile payment Optionsmobile payment has seen a rise in popularity only recently.
That is the reason that no one peaking service is dominant in the market that allows any customers to make their payment conveniently.
More possibly, even the customers have not yet acquainted themselves with the option of mobile payments, and thus they need to understand more.
Google Wallet Since 2011as of now, the most prevailing mobile payment system is the Google Wallet.
Where the developers themselves agree that many issues still exist in the system design of Google Wallet,
they have high hopes for its future. Google wallet is coming down to its fourth year almost since its emergence in the industry.

The emerging developments in the contactless payments have their focus points in both these elements
and thus the digitization of cash stands out as a remarkable phenomenon as compared to the paper cash and plastic payments.
Mobile payments are aimed not only at decreasing the use of paper money but it is predicted to have a revolutionizing effect on the customer behavior as well.
Once given the security and speed, it is going to change the consumer behavior. A spending and saving trend is bound to occur with the prevalence of a sweeping mobile payment system throughout the society.
Patterns of spending will determine how the digitization has been affecting the public and thus adjustments in the systems can be made accordingly.
The mobile payment system, eventually is aimed at benefitting the providers as well as consumers, thus grounding its foundation roots well below.
