Beware of Greeks Bearing New AAA-Rated Gifts: Jonathan Weil Bloomberg
Structured finance helped turn Greece into a disaster zone. It seems only natural that Greece would look to structured finance once again to buy time.
The spark that accelerated Greece’s debt crisis early last year was the revelation that Greek authorities had used some fancy derivative trades a decade ago to mask the true size of the country’s debt. Today it’s Greece’s creditors who are dreaming up the wacky financial engineering, in hopes that the European Union can keep pretending the nation isn’t bankrupt.
The term structured finance is simple to define, in spite of the images of complexity it often evokes. It is the art of making a transaction seem like something it isn’t, usually to achieve some desired financial-reporting or tax result.
For example, when a publicly owned company needs cash but doesn’t want to show more debt on its balance sheet, there’s a good chance it can borrow the money and design the deal to look like equity, even though in substance it’s a loan. Similarly, Greece would like to find a way to pay its creditors less money than it owes, while creating the appearance, in form, that it is repaying them in full.

Do you believe that more federal debt and spending is needed for the economy?
All democrats plans now call for accelerating the national debt increase.
I think there is cause to believe that the currently shrinking economy can snowball into a depression. What I mean is, investment could be withdrawn because people/institutions are worried about losing their capital.
We will have to borrow until confidence is returned to the markets to the extent that free market investment returns.
This is the problem with the Republican concept of always running a deficit regardless of economic conditions. We have to return (at least partially) to a counter cyclical economic policy that pays down the national debt in times of economic growth.
If we don't pay down the debt in good times, we will continue our decent toward insolvency.
Is the republicans who are against of getting out from iraq which is the major souce of increasing the debt...
What's the quickest way to get out of debt?
Okay, two answers I don't need:
1. "Dedication and commitment". I've already got them, and I've been working steadfastly over the past year, contributing all that I can to my payments. I've eliminated all spending from my life that I possibly can. Now I need to find how I can accelerate the payoff.
2. Smart-ass responses. I'm genuinely asking for tips or tricks that have worked for others. (i.e., good ways of increasing income, companies that can help reduce debt, etc.)
I've been in a debt whirlpool for the past 3 years because I was never educated against it. Now I'm trying to crawl back out of this hole.
Any more tips I might have missed? (-and yes, I am a homeowner, but I've only owned it since November of '05)
Thanks...
contact your lenders and advise that you may have no alternative but to file bankruptcy ( assuming you already havent) work out a no interest payment plan, dont go to 'debit free' or one on those kind of companies , as they would do the same thing for you , though they will charge you like $39.00 a month for their 'service' and you will be locked in for the duration of the payout which can be 4-5 years, and at 5 years you'll be paying an additional fee to them in the amount of $2,340.00 @ 39.00 a month, which you would be better off applying that amount towards your pay off. Good luck.
The fact that you bought a home is a good sign. You might call a realtor to run "comps" to get a ballpark figure of the value of your home - maybe it's increased enough to obtain a home equity line of credit - (not that attaching your only asset to old debt is a great idea, but.....)
In fact, if you are paying PMI ($45ish/mo) you may not need to - get a value and if you owe less than 80% of the VALUE, you can get the PMI removed....
Blue collar attitude might be: cut the cable tv $40
cut the internet $25
cut the cell phone $50
make sure your landline is the cheapest plan possible - no call waiting, no caller ID , and certainly no long distance plan on the landline....
There's a quick $100/mo that might help....Not Forever....just til you can get a handle on the worst of your debt.
Pay the smallest balances first......pay minimums on all others and slam down the small debt....then go to the next smallest balance and slam that one down..
I'd stay away from debt consolidation companies....you can do what they can w/out destroying your credit completely.....get your bills together and start calling - be polite and they will work with you.....good luck.
Help with debt reduction companies?
Are there any good debt reduction companies out there or are they scams? I have looked at Accelerated Financial Services, Debt Reduction Services and Elite Financial Services. Are they all basically the same thing? Do they work? Are there better types of companies that work with you and your credit card company to get payments down and have a set end date that your debt will be paid off? Any help would be great.
Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS) can negotiate lower payment and interest rates. This can be a good way to go. Contact your local Red Cross for a referral. CCCS does NOT negotiate settlements.
What you need to know about debt settlement firms:
Your credit card companies are not going to offer you settlements like 50%, for example, if you are current (not behind) on your payments. Basically, the only way you can get into a position to negotiate settlements is to deliberately let your accounts go into default. This is exactly what debt settlement firms do....They take a monthly amount from you and use that to build a “settlement” account, which will go towards paying the “settlement” at a certain date. Your creditors will deliberately not be paid. They will not be happy about this.
If you are current on your accounts, this process will ruin your credit rating as your accounts will all go into default. Your creditors are under no obligation whatsoever to accept settlements from any debt settlement firm you hire. Their response might be to serve you papers and take you to court.
You don’t have to pay any firm to attempt settlements. You can try this own your own. Just remember, if you currently have good credit, this process will ruin your credit and there’s no guarantee that your creditors will accept settlements. If you are currently in default on your credit cards, you can make your own settlement offers. You don’t need to pay anyone to do this for you.

If Congress does eventually pass a bailout, wouldn't that destroy the value of the dollar?
We're basically gambling that injecting that much money (actually more debt) is going to motivate the economy to keep moving yet aren't we just accelerating the spiral of debt?
Yes, the weak dollar is the problem, and that is caused by the National Debt which will increase by at least a trillion dollars if they pass this moronic bill.
It will just hasten the collapse and the really BIG market crash, which we aren't even close to having now.
Just pay down the deficit and debt! It's not freakin rocket science!
Then our currency will be strong again and all these problems will disappear with no Govt intervention at all.
FIX THE MONETARY POLICY!
The dollar's toast either way. Nothing can stop the Federal Reserve from creating currency, short of abolishing the Fed. In case you hadn't heard, the Fed injected 620 billion ANYWAYS, proving that they never needed permission from Congress to do this.
That's not what the bill was really about.
Now's our last chance. We have to destroy the private Federal Reserve before it destroys us!
Spam your Reps, and tell them to support HR 2755.
For people don't understand how expanding the money supply amounts to a hidden tax - inflation, I recommend learning it about from the best teacher on the topic, Edward Griffin, author of "The Creature From Jekyll Island" (book about the Federal Reserve).
This 45 minute audio-clip from Griffin provides a great start to understanding how the money system works.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=638447372044116845&hl=en
The clip also provides some history about the creation of the privately owned Federal Reserve.
Admin. is dead on. We must destroy the Federal Reserve before it destroys us. Contact your representative and demand support for the bill to dismantle the Federal Reserve.
Edit,
Links for contacting your representatives. Email for sure, but also call. The message MUST get through! Keep the pressure on them. They are under intense pressure from the power elite to buckle to the blackmail and extortion of the banksters.

That's the plan, these people are not stupid, just unscrupulous and greedy... they are, after all, bankers.
Regards.
But that's the goal of the Elite amidst their march towards a "New World Order". This was part of the big plan..or in Bush 41's words 'the big idea'. In order to usher in the New World Order, and the North American Union, the 'Elite' need to suppress the middle class (make them poorer). Once they are suppressed [financially] and they can't get car loans, home loans, and student loans ... American's would beg to be involved in the emerging one world socialized govt.
A strong Dollar in itself gives American's much more freedom. If the Dollar is weak, it allows government to offer 'solutions' that the public would otherwise turn down. These 'solutions' don't solve anything. Much like the Patriot Act, they are tools the Elite use to strip American's of our freedom.

Heck, just take a look at what David Rockefeller said:
"Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure--one world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it." ~ David Rockefeller, “Memoirs”
Doesn't the Fed and this 21st century monetary policy align itself with that quote?
Sorry.... Long answer, I know. But I had to also add this quote....
"The greatest threat facing America today is not terrorism, or foreign economic competition, or illegal immigration. The greatest threat facing America today is the disastrous fiscal policies of our own government, marked by shameless deficit spending and Federal Reserve currency devaluation. It is this one-two punch -- Congress spending more than it can tax or borrow, and the Fed printing the money to make up the difference -- that threatens to impoverish us by further destroying the value of our dollars"
-Congressman Ron Paul M.D. April 10, 2007
The current administration has been on the biggest spending spree in history, without regard for the taxpayers.
On federal, state and local levels, all of the politicians want to bleed the taxpayers by more, and more, and more. None of them ever try to actually reduce spending and waste--and we're all paying for it.
It would seem that the government on all levels won't be happy until the average American is completely broke, whether from their excesses or by their destroying the value of the dollar.
If McCain--as they're calling him McSame, is elected, we can indeed expect more of the same. He's promised to continue the wars, which are making Haliburton billions, he's all for the bailout, more billions, and now the automakers in Detroit are asking for a bailout of
$45 billion (they haven't learned in 30 years how to build cars that get good mileage that people want to buy! DUH!) and McSame has also promised tax reductions. With all of that debt piling up, how is any raise in taxes avoidable?
Haven't Americans had enough? We should have a way of getting rid of a failed administration like other countries, with a vote of "no confidence"---instead of a long, drawn out impeachment process.
Doesn't everyone think that with Bush & Cheney gone that the country would be far better off? Also the current Congress?
We have a good system of government, the only problem is the individuals who run it.
Does it bother you that Obama wants to increase spending?
All his plans are to accelerate the rising federal debt to an even faster level of increase. Is this really a solution to economic problems? The stimulus payments and bailouts have had minimal if any effect so far.
No, this is not a solution to eliminate the recession. This is only a band-aid to delay the on-set of another recession down the road for our children to deal with. The excess spending would not bother me so much if he were going to counter that spending by cutting spending in other areas or else raise taxes to pay the money back. Instead, he is mortgaging the future to make his plan work.
So now that someone wants to spend anything here at home to fix some of problems caused by all that money going overseas, those same people seem to be all howling against it.
Yup, typical politics.
Edit: InsideR - Same difference give me an example of where it has worked...
Who is left now for the idiot government to borrow any money from? Soon the last phase of our meltdown will begin when inflation begins to spiral out of control. Then we will all know the end has come.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
This is an end result of trickle down, it truly is the basis for this crisis, we wanted to give the weathy so much, with so little oversight that they simply took it and treated us like unworthy serfs for wanting some of that back. Even now, the Bush administration gave Paulson billions for the banks, and asked for nothing apparently in return. The car deals are loans which must be paid back or the rest of the money isn't distributed.
We do need an infrastructure rebuild, it will pay wages to people who work and help the country. We will have something to show for it.
Unlike running a war and going into debt and only having an ungrateful country who is now running a surplus, angry at us for being there at all.
If it weren't for the war, and the senseless tax cut on the wealthy at a time when more money was needed, we wouldn't be here.
Now that we are, we need to get money to people who work, to people who give back, and the way to do that is to make sure there are jobs in government when everyone else is cutting back. Not perfect, but better than bread lines.
Sinking in credit card debt, what is the best option, waiting for collections, or debt negotiation?
I have accumulated alot of credit card debt over the last 5 years, with it accelerating over the last 1 1/2. About 3 years ago, we got a second mortgage on the house to pay off the debt, and well, it is all back, and more. With the second mortgage, it makes it virtually impossible to pay. Guess we truly lived beyond our means. Our credit isn't shot, as a matter of fact, it is just poor. Right now, I have a 652 and the wife has a 670. We have never, ever missed a payment, however, the minimum payments on over 40,000 in credit cards is more than we can afford.
My income dropped bad last year, and most of the debt piled up trying to "bridge" the gap. Can't really sell the house (housing market sucks, and second mortgage was for 95% at that time) without a short-sale. No fancy vehicles to sell, both our cars are used, with one payment of $310, and other $322.
Anyway, any ideas? Credit cards are currently paid, not late. Don't want to get into a late-fee mess if we can help it. Called the credit card's to try to get the interest rate reduced, or some help with lowering payments, but no dice.
BTW, I do NOT want to do a BK. I was hoping that I could maybe let it go into collections, and then work out a reasonable deal that way, but I was worried that the late-fees and HIGH interest rates would make that too-little, too-late
Just to be clear, I am not wanting to get another credit card. That is what got me into this mess to begin with. I basically was wondering what works better with high credit-card debt. Waiting for charge-off/collections, or trying debt-negotiation. Either way, it will trash my credit, but as of right now, I honestly can say that I don't want any credit anyway!!!!!!!!
Actually Suzi, my wife got me to watch a Dave Ramsey show with her the other day. We sat down, ran our numbers. The problem is we don't have enough income to pay the bills. It isn't like we are blowing our money right now, we already blew it. Now, we are in the position of having 2 upside down cars, basically and upside down house, and credit cards that are making life miserable for us. Yes, we got ourselves into the mess, and we will pay what we can. I do NOT want to do a BK and neither does she. Nobody forced us to use these cards, and I will not try to sidestep them. Besides, I am pretty sure that we make too much money to do a BK anyway, since we would basically be put onto a payment plan anyway. I would rather do it the "right" way, it's just that we don't have enough money right now to do it the "right" way, thus the asking about trying to work out a settlement thru collections or thru debt negotiation.
I have heard your story over and over. People get into debt, go out and get a second mortgage or consolidation loan to pay it off...but then turn around and run up their credit all over again. The next thing you know, you are in twice the amount of debt you started with.
Sound familiar?
Then you realize you are in big trouble, so you try to do the "right thing". You start by contacting the credit card companies to either reduce the principle and/or interest rate. The result is they turn you down...and even INCREASE your rates.
Sound familiar?
Let me show you your future. And forget the Dave and Suzies advice....in most cases it doesn't work.
You can let them go to collections by not paying them. Then they MAY offer to settle for a 25% discount. Will cutting that much from your credit debt help your situation? I'm betting not.
And this will ONLY work if EVERYONE agrees to work with you. That is not going to happen. You will run into the big collection agencies that specialize in making your life miserable. If your cards are over $2000 in debt, you can expect judgments. You say you make too much money now? Wonderful! They will gladly slap garnishments on your income. Can you live with 25% of your wages being garnished?
Like I have said, I've heard this story way too many times. Without carefully examining your financial situation, I couldn't possibly give you any advice. I can say this...debt settlement rarely works. And basically it is the same thing as bankruptcy...except that while you are in settlement your debt continues to grow. They don't freeze your interest or late fees. It's going to take you an awful long time to get out of debt.
I would start by searching out a local non-profit debt COUNSELOR that will go over your finances and work out a very strict budget. Then (if your counselor is any good) they can direct you on the correct path to take. But I'm going to bet that BK is your only real course.
Will you qualify? Probably not for a Chapter 7. But under a Chapter 13 plan you will force your unsecured creditors to 1) freeze the interest and late fees, 2) force them to accept a reduced settlement, and 3) be placed on a payment plan that will get you out of debt within 5 years.
The key to deciding if BK is the way to go is simple. Sit down and create an extremely strict budget. Cancel the cable TV and cell phones. No more entertaining, dining out, or movies. Figure out exactly how much money you have left every month to apply to your debt.
Then contact every one of your creditors and see what sort of deal they will give you. You don't need a debt settlement company to do this...you just need to make sure you tell them that the alternative is you filing bankruptcy. Every one of your creditors must understand that if they don't work with you, it's going to cost them when you file BK. This will get MOST of your creditors to work with you, but not all.
Then crunch the numbers and see if your budget works. Lets say you manage to get all of your creditors to knock 25% of your debt. Now you owe $30k....do you have at least $650 in your budget to apply to your credit card debt?
If your answer is no, you have no real choice but to file for bankruptcy. You can do it now, or you can do it in a couple of years, after your credit has been ruined, you have 2-3 judgments on you, and everybody is harassing you on a daily basis.
Like I've said, I've seen this story many times. I live in an area where factories have been closed, and those still working have seen their huge wages cut. They are forced to live on credit until things improve.....and they never do.
I am not a lawyer or credit counselor, and I am not associated with any of these companies. I'm just someone that everyone seems to come to for advice, and I've done a ton of research. I hope thinks work out for you.
Wiping out big-dollar low interest debt. Financially stable 27yr old with a LOT of debt, what strategy to use?
I've never missed any payments, and have managed good credit despite my debt/income. I've been putting 10% into a 401k from day1 and I'm living below my means. I now make over $70k/year but have a combined $70k in debt, $60k of it from school loans. They are split 45k in the "PLUS" loan in my parents name at 5.5% and 15k in my name at an awesome 2.5%. The other 10k is at 3.5% on two no-fee credit cards with fixed interest for life of balances.
Whats the best plan for repayment? Target the highest interest (>50% total debt), considering its entirely in my parent's name? (won't help my credit any)
What about starting investing (beyond my 401k)? I consider this debt to be pretty low interest, so would I be better off carefully funneling cash into the market?
My goal is to eliminate debt and build wealth, but I want to be smart about it. My career is stable and my income should continue to increase, so I'd like to accelerate my progress towards my financial goals now.
The PLUS loan is 100% in my dad's name, no co-sign. I'm on great terms with my parents and wouldn't think of skipping out on this one, but I'm curious if its in my best interest financially to go gangbusters on paying it off compared to other options.
My payment is fixed at $317/mo for the next 20 years. If I start doubling that payment in January, I'll cut the term to only 7.5 years! Geez, maybe I should go nuts on that loan. Plus I'll still be making the min payments on the other loans, so they won't be stagnant for that time. And I should be able to continue to ramp up payments on the PLUS loan to pay it off even faster than $600/mo as other debts disappear and my income increases.
You're in a great situation. Making decent money and paying in a situation to pay off your debt. I would pay it off as quickly as possible, but you shouldn't focus on paying it all off without saving. I agree you need to contribute up to your employers 401k match. Then you need to start saving money. Keep making your payments but put enough in savings so you have at least 3-6 months of living expeneses saved. It does no good to pay off everything if you don't have any money saved in case of an emergency, accident, etc. Then you would just end up going into debt to pay off the rest whatever expenses would come your way.
After that you need to start saving for your retirement. I highly recommend a Roth IRA. Where your interest rates are low I would max it out at $5,000 a year. After that start going nuts on that debt. I would say highest interest rate first, one because it saves you money, but mainly because you just want to pay off your parents. You owe it to them. :)
Best of Luck!
Debt collector bothering me. Help.?
I had a $10,000 credit limit on my american express card. At one point, because of interest, the balance was $10,900 and it went into collections. I paid $1000 to bring the balance under the credit limit and made an arrangement to make payments of $500/month with the debt collector. After 8 months of paying the $500/month faithfully, i received a call from a collector from the agency screaming on the phone they were accelerating the entire balance which is now $7000 and that if i don't pay, they will sue me. I told them to sue me. Are they bluffing? If they sue, do i have a defense under the facts? Thanks!
Criminal charges? I don't think so. Are you a debt collector? If they want to sue me they can. I'll be waiting.
At 7K they CAN and WILL sue you. They are suing for much lessor amounts than ever before even below 1K. Unless that agreement is in writing you have no defense.
Should global corporations' manufacturing operations in developing nations be exempt from climate treaties?
Developed nations lose the jobs and gross domestic product, the value of their currency erodes as their national debt skyrockets, the corporations evade paying the cost for environmental impacts, and they pass the bill for their impact on to the (now unemployed) residents left in the developed nation.
It seems to me that Kyoto-style agreements only accelerate the economic decline of developed nations and give the largest contributors to the problem a secure place to hide, exempt from controls.
Does anyone else see something wrong with this picture?
No.
But we've got to sweeten the pot, by utilizing a kind of 'you-can-attract-more-bees-with-honey plan, that encourages nations such as China and India to skip the kind of "energy adolescence" phase we suffered through and shift ASAP to more modern, cutting-edge technology and energy sources. There's got to be give and take on this.
Kyoto is an imperfect agreement, but will stand in history as a decent first attempt to get the ball rolling. Now it's time for countries like the U.S. to reestablish the leadership role it has worn so well in the past, and help to facilitate agreements that allow China some "catch up" time without exonerating them for the bad choices of the last few decades. This is an awkward stage for all, being in this predicament, with China now having the muscle that it does. Yes, the picture that now exists is all out-of-sorts, but I think in the next couple of years that agreements can be improved. That's not necessarily saying a lot, but I think it's plain to see that exemptions aren't going to work for anyone, in the long run, and that's what this game is about.
Who can help me with the management accounting question?
Weierman Department Store is located in the downtown area of a medium-sized city in the American Midwest. While the store had been profitable for many years, it is facing increasing competition from large national chains that have set up stores in the city’s suburbs. Recently the downtown area has been undergoing revitalization, and the owners of Weierman Department Store are somewhat optimistic that profitability can be restored.
In an attempt to accelerate the return to profitability, the management of Weierman Department Store is in the process of designing a balanced scorecard for the company. Management believes the company should focus on two key problems. First, customers are taking longer and longer to pay the bills they incur on the department store’s charge card and they have far more bad debts than are normal for the industry. If this problem were solved, the company would have more cash to make much needed renovations.
Investigation has revealed that much of the problem with late payments and unpaid bills is apparently due to disputed bills that are the result of incorrect charges on the customer bills. These incorrect charges usually occur because salesclerks enter data incorrectly on the charge account slip. Second, the company has been incurring large losses on unsold seasonal apparel. Such items are ordinarily resold at a loss to discount stores that specialize in such distress items.
The meeting in which the balanced scorecard approach was discussed was disorganized and ineffectively led--possibly because no one other than one of the vice presidents had read anything about how to put a balanced scorecard together. Nevertheless, a number of potential performance measures were suggested by various managers. These potential performance measures are listed below:
Performance measures suggested by various managers:
• Total sales revenue.
• Percentage of salesclerks trained to correctly enter data on charge account slips.
• Customer satisfaction with accuracy of charge account bills from monthly customer survey.
• Sales per employee.
• Travel expenses for buyers for trips to fashion shows.
• Average age of accounts receivables.
• Courtesy shown by junior staff members to senior staff members based on surveys of senior staff.
• Unsold inventory at the end of the season as a percentage of total cost of sales.
• Sales per square foot of floor space.
• Percentage of suppliers making just-in-time deliveries.
• Quality of food in the staff cafeteria based on staff surveys.
• Written-off accounts receivables (bad debts) as a percentage of sales.
• Percentage of charge account bills containing errors.
• Percentage of employees who have attended the city’s cultural diversity workshop.
• Total profit.
• Profit per employee.
Required:
1. As someone with more knowledge of the balanced scorecard than almost anyone else in thecompany, you have been asked to build an integrated balanced scorecard. In your scorecard, use only performance measures suggested by the managers above. You do not have to use all of the performance measures suggested by the managers, but you should build a balanced scorecard that reveals a strategy for dealing with the problems with accounts receivable and with unsold merchandise. Construct the balanced scorecard. Do not be particularly concerned with whether a specific performance measure falls within the learning and growth, internal business process, customer, or financial perspective. However, clearly show the causal links between the performance measures with arrows and whether the performance measures should show increases or decreases.
2. Assume that the company adopts your balanced scorecard. After operating for a year, there areimprovements in some performance measures but not in others. What should management donext?
3. a. Suppose that customers express greater satisfaction with the accuracy of their charge
account bills but the performance measures for the average age of receivables and for bad debtsdo not improve. Explain why this might happen.
b. Suppose that the performance measures for the average age of accounts receivable, bad
debts, and unsold inventory improve, but total profits do not. Explain why this might happen.
Assume in your answer that the explanation lies within the company.
Not sure if there is a right or wrong answer, they are interested in your thinking and your approach to problem solving.
