Big Name vs. Small Name Real Estate Brokerages
2008-04-21 08:22:00 I have been a real estate agent in the Seattle, Bellevue, & Renton areas for over four years and have loved every minute of it. I started my career at Prudential Northwest Realty, moved to RE/MAX Central Associates for a short time, and I finally opened my own brokerage, Greater Puget Sound Realty, LLC. The process of opening my own business was very nerve wrecking. The initial stages of recruiting agents went well, but the most consistent reason for not joining my brokerage was the fear of no longer having a large, reputable company name to work for. This response made me curious for answers. So here I am. Now obviously, I am understanding to the fact that there is not one brokerage which fits the bill for every single real estate agent. Greater Puget Sound Realty, LLC is a brokerage catered towards agents who are seasoned, self-driven, self-marketable, and accountable. Hands down, we offer a compensation package which is $35-$55k, more ...

In China, Plans to Calm Markets Could Rev Up Futures Brokerages
2007-11-12 18:06:00 From Wall Street JournalSHANGHAI -- With the introduction of stock-index futures -- derivatives products that may cool down the broader Chinese stock market -- looking ever more imminent, there are several companies in one sector whose fortunes could be helped: futures brokerages.Such trading houses, whose main business has been limited to handling local trading of futures on physical commodities like soybeans and copper, stand to see a boost in revenue from the resulting trading activity that stock-index futures would bring. By at least one prediction, the futures industry could take in more than three billion yuan, or about $405 million, in commissions annually within three years.Chinese regulators have been promising the advent of stock-index futures for about a year, but the plan has been delayed as officials hash out details and work through concerns. Now, analysts say there are signs the indexes may be introduced to China's market as early as next month.Stock-index futures ar...

Is it right time to buy brokerages?
2007-11-05 20:09:00 Today again negative subprime news are coming to market. Citigroup (C) predicted high losses due to credit market together with CEO resignation are dragging market to red. I'd like to focused on group of investment brokerages. This segment was hit heavily due to subprime lenders issues. Current P/E valuation of US brokerages is 9.5. Goldman Sachs (GS) has 9, Morgan Stanley (MS) 6.5, Merrill Lynch (MER) 12.3, Lehman Brothers (LEH) 7.8.In my view Morgan Stanley stepped down the most from the record price and this company has still Q3 results announcement ahead. Of course P/E ratios don't tell us the shares are cheap now because all brokerages earnings are let's say disappointments and adjusting their P/E valuation. Do you think is it right time to buy brokerages? I still stay away and waiting..http://stockweb.blogsp-ot.com/atom.xml

2007-04-22 18:47:00 From ForbesSHANGHAI (XFN-ASIA) - A group of major brokerages returned to profitability in 2006, lifted by a jump in stock market activity that pushed share prices up about 130 pct last year, according to the Securities Association of China.Combined net income for the 11 brokerages, including some of the largest, reached 4.4 bln yuan, compared with a loss of 520 mln yuan in 2005, the Association said in a report.Total revenue last year was 10.8 bln yuan of which five bln yuan came from trading commissions and 2.6 bln yuan from proprietary trading, the report said.Citic Securities, Ping An Securities and Changjiang Securities were the most profitable brokerages, it said.The turnaround contrasts with two years ago, when all brokerages, struggling as a result of an industry restructure and a slumping share market, required billions of yuan in government bailout packages.[Read more]
Investment Banks clamor toward Turkey; Scoop up Brokerages and Licenses
2007-03-15 21:13:00 Turkey ? the emerging market. Could it be that the political and fiscal doldrums of Turkey are in its past? Well, the statistics of Turkey?s evolution and its developing status tell an amazing story. Able to withstand the hiccup of the global markets and hot-money pull-out of last year, the Turkish market has been outperforming almost all of the world?s markets (at least up until the end of February). Faced with this ?sense of stability?, major brokerage and investment houses have decided to set up shop in Turkey in attempts to reap the remaining benefits of this growing market. With a new deal being announced literally every month for the last six, could we actually call it a boom? Nevertheless, will the ghosts of Turkey?s past come back to haunt (hence, the implications of the most recent global downturn), or have these banks and investors really taken a leap of faith toward a hopeful and developed nation? A list of entries and office openings (though not complete) is as fo... |
