Sony (SNE) Seeing No US Recession

Sony (NYSE: SNE) is still selling its share of television in the US and a poor economy, to the extent that it exists, is not keeping people away.

"We have already had a solid January and February," said Stan Glasgow, president and chief operating officer of Sony Electronics, the company’s $12 billion U.S. unit according to Reuters. Sony also said it expects to sell five million Blu-ray players this year.

The comments by the large consumer electronics company indicate that there are still some pockets of strength in US. Video game sales were strong as of the last NPD data.

Perhaps people can’t stand not being entertained.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts

Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.

It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.

We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today.  Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.

Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
