Credit Rationing

A situation in which the lenders refuse to advance loans to all borrowers at the prevailing interest rate. It is considered a problem resulting due to information and control limitations. Credit rationing eventually leads to an excess demand for loans among borrowers.

Equity Ratio

An indicator of a firm’s financial leverage. It measures the proportion of total assets financed by the stockholders. Equity ratio is calculated by dividing total liabilities by shareholder’s equity. Also known as personal debt ratio
Equity ratio can be represented as a percentage value of shareholders equity/total assets.

The Oil bubble is getting bigger, will it burst soon?

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 21:54:00 +0000

The current Oil prices seem intent on reaching new heights and with the latest announcement from the US energy secretary that the low production is the only cause behind the sudden increase in Oil prices, the ball has been knocked back onto Saudi Arabia's court.

With almost every single country reeling from high oil prices and the accompanying inflationary pressures, a conference of sorts is currently underway in Saudi Arabia, between the Oil suppliers and the Oil consuming nations. The steep hike has set ramapant inflation loose with many of the countries registering double digit inflation figures. China has already been on the brink of the 'double digit' inflation quite a while before the Oil crisis started. This was on account of its economy and with the current oil rates, the inflation is bound to shoot up like anything.

Samuel Bodman's comments prior to the conference suggests that the rest of the world has but lost their patience with Saudi Arabia as well as the rest of OPEC dragging their feet on this issue. One of the key goals of this conference would be to make Saudi Arabia see reason and not cry fowl. All the eyes are on the conference and one can but hope that the Oil bubble will burst soon rather than later, for the resultant mess would be easy to cope with.

Wall Street mulls the next move!

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 19:35:00 +0000

These days the Wall Street is in an introspective phase as it mulls the 'mood' of the market. The question on every one's mind is as to whether the market has bottomed out or is there more to come. With most of the analysts predicting that the market has not yet bottomed out and that it will require a huge catalyst, a miracle for most, in order to change the mood of the market, it may be quite some time before the market recovers.

But of late, the market seems to have lost the downward momentum causing many to ponder if the bearish mood of the market has come to an end. There have been some good news on the housing market and hopes are high that the bull will soon run amok at Wall Street. But that may not happen for some time to come on account of the surge in Oil prices, increasing by as much as 30% in the last three months. The pressure of the Oil prices reflect on most of the other financial markets with investors being a bit wary. So the anticipated change in the momentum of the Wall Street may well occur after the Oil rates come down a bit. But if they do not, then with increased inflationary pressures, one can only bite ones nails and hope that OPEC sees reason soon and increases the supply to counter the demand on Oil.

The relocation urges!

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 21:56:00 +0000

This is the new age and with the increased population pressures and the competitiveness that one faces on the office front including the job market, the jobs of late have become more portable than they usually would be. The result being that a person may be required to travel and relocate more than usual; the only beneficiary from such a move being, the moving company.

When one is forced to relocate as a result of job pressures, the task as to how to go about this may seem a little bit insurmountable to a layperson. But with this being the digital age where time is a premium and optimization being the flavor of the day, there are various tools that one can utilize effectively to handle any such relocation. The first task, naturally would be the delegation of the task to a moving company; the only criteria here for choosing such a company from a myriad number of others should be the time frame within which the moving company can accomplish this task.

That aside, the next task would have to deal with researching any feedback that the moving company may have got from previous customers. Many a moving company end up chasing variables better rather than committing themselves to the task at hand – to put it plainly, their plan on paper may appear great but the end result, often leaves the client disappointed and frustrated. This is why researching the feedback of the moving company with regard to their delivery time is crucial in selecting the right one for the task at hand.

Often, many a moving company takes operational responsibility over a fragile item marked ‘handle with care’, only to deliver them in bits and pieces at the end point. Even after such an incident, they regularly fail to take full responsibility for the article in question. One may wish to transport a few valuable and extremely fragile possessions and keeping that in mind, it is always a good idea to inquire before hand as to whether the moving company offers any insurance coverage for any breakages that may occur as a result of such transportation. It would also be a good idea to inquire about the packaging that the moving company utilizes for the fragile items in their care.

And last but not least, one should inquire as to the cost that the moving company charges for the relocation. There are quite a few companies that fleece the customers once they sense the customer’s urgency, even to the extent of charging them extra on delivery of one’s possessions. It is a good idea to have a signed contract with the moving company, annotating the rates, the timeline and the extra costs to be incurred on the relocation on paper and have it signed by both the parties ahead of any such transportation. Moving company is quite often the best choice when it comes to relocation, but with so many companies rendering their services, one may have to do a bit of research before settling on the best one to handle the task.

The interest rates that we get charged these days!

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 19:23:00 +0000

The interest rates of the credit cards seems to be on the rise especially of late, I am not sure how many of you had noticed this. When it comes to credit cards we have to be very careful in choosing the card so that the interest rates are kept to a bare minimum and that the interest does not occur an interest. But the later one may be a little bit difficult to accomplish given that most of the companies do exactly this.
The fact of the matter is that the credit card companies are more than eager to accomodate us these days as the market is getting squeezed. We as the public can expect to see more enthralling offers from the card companies and although the offers themselves would sound quite interesting, we must take care to remember that all that glitters is not necessarily gold.

World finance leaders vow to tackle bank reforms!

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 20:01:00 +0000

The credit crunch as well as the mortgage crisis seems to be pushing the U.S economy on to the fast track towards recession and this is having effects on all the global markets. As it is, most of the major economies are facing the heat as a result of the credit crisis and the world consumer confidende has dipped rather low of late. Some of the major powers like China nd India are facing inflation in high figures and are busy seeking ways to contain the surging economy as well as the rampant inflation. At a recent IMF meeting, the mention of the sale of gold to the tune of $11 Billon by the IMF to shore up funds has highlighted the problem and made it amply clear that no one is immune to the current crisis, it is truly a global one onb almost all the aspects.
Recetnly some of the world financial leaders
met up to discuss the current situation and it was then decided that some of the financial regulations needs to be tightened up a bit so as to enable the world economy to handle the current crisis better. To some this may seem like closing the barn doors after the horses have bloted but the fact of the matter is that the current situation can get a whole lot worse and very quickly at that. In order to prevent that from happenkng as well as to be able to take a firm grip on the situation at hand, the world financil leaders have made the right decision by agreeing to regulate further and to revamp certain financial regulations. This certainly beats sitting in a corner and moping!

Clinton and obama point to Iraq war for the economy woes!

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 19:38:00 +0000

Both the democrat nominees currently in the fray point to the Iraq war as one of the main reasons for the current economy woes that seems to plague America today. Frankly that is just an oversimplification of the problem at hand, if the solution was as simple as that, we would all be so much better off. But the stark reality of the situation is that the war cannot he held to be the main culprit as the reason for the current problems and that the cause lies in the foundations of the current economic policy rather than in the foreign policy sections of the current American administration.
Too much freedom has been applied over a period of time to some of the major financial instruments with the end result being one hand has no idea as to what the other hand has done. This lack of information has led to the current imbroglio and only a correction of certain financial instruments as well as a tightening of the current economic policies is going to make the big bad bear go back to sleep!

The magic of gold!

Monex deposit company is the global leader when it comes to investing in the precious metals like gold and silver. The gold as well as the silver metals have turned into a safe haven for investment purposes especially if one were to take into consideration the impact that the recent credit crisis has had on the markets. The markets at the global level is yet to recover from the credit crunch as well as the rising oil prices.
Also taking into account the fact that the global supply of both gold and silver has hit the lows it is only logical to expect the prices of both gold and silver to shoot up. The worlds silver deposits are fast drying up and with the demand for the precious metals on the rise, one can expect that investment of any kind on the precious metals will soon pay rich dividends.
Here at Monex, one can get these precious metals in the bullion form and they can be either personally delivered to you or stored safely in an intermediary bank. The gold is generally available in the form of 10 one ounce coins for personal delivery only, such coins are .9167 fine gold and they are also available in lesser denominations as well.

Hotel reservations a must!

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 17:59:00 +0000

One of the most common troubles that we often encounter during our trips overseas are the hotel reservations. Each and every time we take a trip we do our best to book the rooms ahead, but every so often as a result of the language barrier the person on the other end does not book the rooms. As a result of this, we are often left high and dry.
It could be a place that is steeped in mystery as Marrakesh or a place that has a class of its own like the city of love, Paris. Whatever the place is, the language barrier is one of the main reasons that we do not get our rooms reserved. On top of this, getting a room once we reach the place is equally difficult if not more as the person on the other end of the front desk of the hotel would not be able to understand our needs perfectly.
And each and every one of us may have our own particular likes and dislikes, so communicating all of this effectively to the front desk would be a task worthy of Hercules himself. Which is why I for one am glad that there is a site like this one here. This site is the perfect travelers companion in almost every way possible.
With the help of this site, we should be able to get the rooms that we want and not just the rooms, but we should be able to do all of our hotel bookings with total ease. On top of this, most of the rooms are offered to us at a discount so that when we book our Hotel rooms through this site, we should be able to get the best rooms for a fraction of what it would have cost us had we done it directly. This site should enable us to relax with no stress factor whatsoever during our trip as our rooms would be all ready and waiting for us.

Jobs taking a hit as the markets reel!

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 04:53:00 +0000

The world markets reeled from the effects of the Oil prices hitting new heights at $106 per barrell. If that was not bad enough employers had to slash jobs to such a large extent that recession seems to be the mantra on everyone's lips. One can almost feel sorry for whoever the next president is going to be, because when all is said and done, the recession is not going to hit the bush aministration but the buck is going to be passed to the next commander-in-chief.
The corporates have take a hit and as such are pushing it all onto the employees. High fuel prices, unstable economy and a dollar that is determined to go all the way to the basement has all contributed in one form or the other to the latest slasher drive by the corporates!

Which ones should we choose?

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:36:00 +0000

One of the hardest things to do these days seems to be choosing which credit card to apply for, the number of card companies are endless and so are the different types of cards they offer. From the one for personal use to ones for corporate use, each and every kind of card comes with its own reward as well as its own interest rate. We as the common man can find ourselves getting quite flabbergasted at the numerous offers each and every card makes to us. Every single day we end up getting mailers with great offers from card companies and we often tend to forget to look at the small print.

It is true that choosing a card these days can be more trouble than what one bargained for. Which is why, I for one am glad that I found this site.

Bernanke pours cold water on Mortgage hopes!

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:22:00 +0000

It seems that the end is not yet near as one may have hoped, for according to Bernanke, the mortgage crisis is far from over. For those of you how are wondering who on earth is Bernanke and why on earth should we even bother to listen to him? Well, for your information, Bernanke is none other than the Fed chief and his analysis carries a lot of weight and is much more on the mark than what you or I would have to say on this matter.

According to Bernanke the crisis is far from over and that the government may have to take some more remedial measures to help calm the waters. Of course, the query on every one's lips is what does this mean for us the common man on the street? Well, for one thing, do not go near the stock market for the next couple of days as the market sentiment is quite down and other than that, to keep an eye out on home prices since they are dropping you may actually get your hands on a property that is worth much more than what it is being sold for.

Bernanke wants the foreclosures to be either stalled or written off at least partly as such a move would bring stability to the markets. What ever else that anyone may have to add on this, one thing is for sure, the ride is far from over and that there is more excitement to come!

The site on cards and reviews!

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 22:03:00 +0000

When it comes to cards, most of us end up being confused at the very least. With so many institutions offering so many varieties of cards, it is often very difficult for any of us to make a decent choice when it comes to them. We often get surrounded by various offers from all the card companies, with some of them offering us free air miles to those that offer us free hotel rooms for 4 days and so on. In this deluge of offers, even the very best of us are bound to make a mistake or two. That is why I for one am glad that can give me facts about all these cards like the 0 apr balance transfer.

The one thing that we should all look at is the rate of interest and what we would end up owing these card companies every month. One would think that a company that has all the time to organise all these interesting offers for its prospective customers would be able to give us a straight answer on that query. just try asking that to the next card company that you approach and you will see that they are really well known for their vague, round about answers more than anyone else. This site gives us all the details that we want to know about the various card companies, from the rate of interest to the option that the card companies often end up bandying about, that is the no fee balance transfers.

Card companies are also well known for saying one thing and meaning totally another. So it is always a good idea to check up on the various cards and the various offers that they provide at this site as it seems to be having all the up to date information on pretty much everything. From the 0 balance transfers to the '0 apr balance transfer', you can literally get to know and compare each and every card here at this site. This site also offers makes it possible for you to register for the card of your choice from their site itself by way of an encrypted platform. All in all, this is indeed the site for all cards and if you are in need of one, then click on the links above and come on in!

Bond insurers breathe a sign of relief!

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 21:53:00 +0000

With the news that Standard & Poor's affirmed its ratings for Ambac Financial Group Inc. and MBIA Inc., the Wall Street shot off as though Popeye had eaten a whole tub of spinach. These days any news, no matter the size, big or small is bound to get the markets up and going.

Everyone had thought that the Bond insurers were going to get rated down in face of their exposure to the Subprime mess, but that does not seem to be the case at least for now. For the moment, the ratings stand especially for Ambac group. Had the ratings dropped, the consumer confidence, or what little is left of it these days, would have headed all the way down. The Dow Jones industrials bolted the corral by 190 paces or to be more precise, by 190 points. Would the momentum carry on to tomorrow, let us hope that is the case indeed!

Dollar rises against the yen?

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 01:02:00 +0000

The last few days has seen the U.S dollar rise against some of the major currencies. but with not much buoyant fiscal data to support the sudden strengthening of the Dollar one can only wonder whether it is the Japanese central bank that is hiking up the value of the dollar. If this is true, then why not the other currencies? Also, since the Euro has become a favorable reserve currency for most currencies, what is Japan's position on that....

The unexpected retail sales data has given a welcome boost to Wall Street which has managed to rally quite well until now. If the momentum continues, then this may well have a cascading effect on all the other markets, all over the world. But such boosts are only short lived and if this market is to take on this momentum then it may need more good news than the ones of the other kind!

Fed announces new plan to rescue mortgage defaulters!

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 19:53:00 +0000

This is a good move by the feds and may well stop the unemployment rate in its tracks, well; it may not stop it altogether but should at the least lessen it. This is indeed a very good move for many reasons, for one, it should take some of the bite out of the current mortgage crisis that seems to be facing the American markets.

What many people do not seem to have considered is that if all the mortgage defaulters were thrown out of their homes, then the various companies would not be all that eager to hire them. Everyone must have a real address that they can call 'home' so as to get legally employed.

So if a defaulter was to be thrown out of his or her home, then that person, by law cannot be gainfully employed and would probably be begging a living under one of the overpass.

This move by the Fed is one that should have been taken a long time ago, but then again, it is better to be late than never.

With the current mortgage crisis spiraling out of control the next move by the fed should aim at regulating the housing markets and after that, the fed should concentrate on the banks and pressurize them to increase lending so as to prevent any further credit crisis from hitting the consumer on the street. It is a long way to go and the first step, the most important one has finally been taken by the Fed today!

The Id theft goes on!

noreply@blogger.com (scorpius) — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:12:00 +0000

The age of the internet is really turning out to be more dangerous than one had ever anticipated. These days we all get all kind of spam mail asking us to click on a link and once we do that, we may as well kiss our identity good bye. The criminals of the digital world are finding out more and more new ways to assume our identity and take our hard earned money away. I have discovered that these days one needs an Id protection in order to preserve our self and there is no one else better to do it than LifeLock.

With this company our identity is guaranteed up to 1,000,000$ and these guys are really good at what they do. With LifeLock, I do not think that any of our id's would be stolen any time soon.

Since these days we do most of our monetary transactions online, preserving our identity has become very very important. These are the days when we are able to wire transfer money out of our account by pressing the enter key on our computer. It has become that easy, so naturally we must take all the precautions that we can take so that no one gets to steal our identity and our money. So, if you are looking to preserve your identity, then you should visit LifeLock.com!
