High Debt and Low Interest Rates
2009-08-17 10:14:00 In an era of rising budgets deficits, an important question to pose is how much can governments borrow?Typically, higher government borrowing raises these issues:Higher borrowing leads to higher interest rates as governments need to attract more people to buy bonds. This rise in interest rates is known as financial crowding out and can lead to lower growth.Higher borrowing leads to higher taxesHigher borrowing can create inflationary pressure, if the borrowing is financed by increasing supply of money.Higher borrowing can risk destabilising the exchange rate if markets fear there is a real inflationary pressure.Higher Borrowing can cause resource crowding out because the private sector has less funds for investment because it is holding more government bonds.However, some of these textbook problems often do not occur in reality. - especially, when the economy is in recession and private saving rates are rising.As Brad de Long notes (link), in the past 12 months, the US treasury has ...

Cameron Diaz - No butts about it, Cameron Diaz rates her body
2009-06-04 10:57:00 Cameron Diaz might be known for slender and athletic shape, but if it was up to her, the actress says she would like to be curvier and have a lot more junk in her trunk. “I’d love a bigger butt, more meat on my bones,” Diaz told Marie Claire’s July issue. “I’d love to be more voluptuous. It’s just not my body type.” One part of the 36-year-old’s body that has changed over the years is her nose — but not for cosmetic reasons. “S--t just finds my face — it’s crazy!” she said referring to a recent surgery to fix her nose after breaking it four times — most recently after a surfboard found her face. But the actress said she has ruled out more radical forms of plastic surgery. As for coping with life in the spotlight, Diaz explained she tries to see the constant attention she receives from fans in a positive light. “I just have a lot of friends,” she explained. “That’s how I ...

The Dilemma of Tax at Source (TDS) & Exchange Rates!
2009-05-31 12:58:00 A foreign vendor provided technical assistance to M/s. ABC co. with a payment terms as follows. $30,000 USD and tax is to be borne by the foreign vendor at applicable rate. M/s. ABC Co. made a liability in its books on 31.03.2008 and deducted TDS u/s 195 of IT Act at applicable rate and deposited the same to IT department.(Dollar rate as on 31.03.08 was Rs.40 per USD, say) Now, actual payment is to be made by M/s. ABC Co. to that foreign vendor(i.e. $30,000 USD) . Dollar rate at the time of payment is Rs.46 per USD, say. Question is: 1. Whether additional TDS is to be deducted on the amount increased due to exchange. Sujit Talukdar, Kolkata The fact is that section 195 prescribes that payer will deduct the income tax at the rates specified either at the time of credit of payment or at the time of payment whichever is earlier. M/s ABC Co did the right thing by deducting the tax on 31/3/2008 when it credited the forign vendor in its books. Only point to see is whether the exchange ra...

Lowering Car Insurance Rates
2009-05-12 16:19:00 It can be easier than you think to save money on your car insurance policy. There are several steps you can take to start saving right away. Using an Independent Agent is helpful in shedding unnecessary costs on your policy. Your agent can advise you on proper coverages and shop the rates among many companies. The difference between one company and the next can literally be hundreds of dollars.Consider dropping the physical damage coverage on an older car. Depending on your car's age and where you live, comprehensive and collision coverage may not be worth keeping. You can speak with your agent about this and they can help you research your car's value to determine the value of the coverage. If you do not want to drop the coverage, raise the deductible. According to the Insurance Information Institute, raising your deductible from $200 to $500 could reduce your collision and comprehensive cost by 15% to 30%. In addition, because the average driver files a collision claim only once...

2009-05-10 16:39:00 Car insurance rates differ greatly depending on the cost of the car, security systems installed, driving habits of the owner etc. The companies try to extract every pound from you in the name of terms, conditions, riders etc. Those who are uninitiated about the intricacies of auto insurance field often find themselves at the wrong end of the stick.

Fed Sees Contraction Slowing, Mortgage Rates Climbing?
2009-04-29 20:51:00 As I have mentioned numerous times before, the Policy Statement released by the FOMC at the time of announcing their decision on the Feds Fund Rate is the more important factor in determining which direction mortgage rates will move in the future. I had expected a big shock to the markets, possibly even an increase in their MBS purchasing agenda yet again. This time there was no “surprise”, rather a renewed commitment to the $1.25 trillion MBS purchasing spree, along with the renewed commitment to use ALL available tools, including those not yet created I am sure, to open the floodgates of credit. Let’s break it down… Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in March indicates that the economy has continued to contract, though the pace of contraction appears to be somewhat slower (no surprise hear as that is what the data has been indicating for a while now). Household spending has shown signs of stabilizing but remains constr...
ETF for rising rates
2009-04-14 14:00:00 "How can investors benefit from rising interest rates and falling bond prices?" asks Martin Weiss. In The Safe Money Report he looks at a leveraged ETF linked to interest rates."There’s one giant bull we see on the horizon that virtually no one expects — rising long-term interest rates, the automatic opposite of falling bond prices."And fortunately, you can now ride that move with ETFs linked to rising long-term interest rates."Think of rising interest rates the same way you’d think of a rising stock. The higher they go, the more money you stand to make — not from the yield, but from the upward move itself."Of course, as with any investment, there’s downside risk. If long-term rates go down, you will lose money."But we believe lower rates are unlikely for two reasons: First, the Fed has already cut its official rate down to nearly zero. So the chance of additional Fed rate cuts is now also close to zero."...

Why Mortgage Rates Dropped Slightly Today, And Why They Won’t Stay Down M
2009-03-18 20:43:00 No doubt, unless you are a hermit, you have heard the media talk about mortgage rates heading for 4%. Heck, even Jim Cramer, you know that “Mad Money” guy on CNBC, was praising Ben Bernanke for making this move today and even saying he just gave us 4% mortgage rates. Of course, John Stewart (Daily Show on Comedy Central) showed just how good Jim Cramer is, and it makes you wonder just how much he knows about the markets and how mortgage rates are derived. So, just why is everyone in the media talking about 4% mortgage rates again? Well, it all comes down to the Fed’s Policy Statement and not just their rate decision. Sure, the Fed kept the Fed Funds Rate at 0-0.25%, but statements released were what really is driving the markets nuts today. Let’s take a moment and dissect it… Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in January indicates that the economy continues to contract. Job losses, declining equity and housing wea...

Atlanta Bankruptcy Rates Expected To Climb In Continuing Economic Decline

Can You Afford to Wait for Lower Mortgage Rates?
2009-02-13 19:56:00 Many of you reading this have been waiting for those government promised mortgage rates of 4.5%, or even lower. Do you realize those rates may never come in actuality? Can you comprehend how much money you are wasting by not refinancing or outright purchasing a property right now? First, let’s look at those of you waiting to refinance. Since rates are currently around 5% and it usually doesn’t make sense to refinance with less than a 1% drop in rate, let’s put together a scenario. You have a $200,000 loan at 6%, with monthly mortgage payments (not including taxes and insurance) of $1,199. You are now faced with the dilemma of refinancing since rates dropped lower, down into the 4’s, but you didn’t take advantage of them and they have now risen to 5%. You hear the media talk about lower mortgage rates, namely 4.5%, throughout the headlines and this causes you to wait longer in anticipation. As we near the passage...

Bounce Rates – SEO Ranking Factor?
2008-12-17 02:06:00 It looks like Google might be using your bounce rate as part of their ranking algorithm. What does that mean for our SEO efforts? Strictly speaking it’s not actually an SEO problem. Let’s define what a ‘bounce’ is and get some other facts of the way first. A bounce is a single page visit – the person arrives on your site, looks at the page they arrived at, then leaves without going any further. A bounce could be someone who takes one look and backs out or someone who reads the whole page before taking off. Now – how is Google figuring out yoru site bounce rate? They have a variety of ways, the most complete being the monitoring of Google Analytics, if you use it. Other avenues are whether you use the Google toolbar or the new Chrome browser. They can also keep track of how quickly a searcher returns to Google again for a search. Bounce rate is actually a good way of determining site quality, at least on first glance.

Crime Rates For Hispanics, Polynesians and Amerindians
2008-11-27 11:18:00 Updated November 29:In the comments section, an anonymous commenter notes: Hispanics, Amerindians, and Polynesians are all Asians or have Asiatic roots (and thus presumably lower testosterone) and still their crime rate is higher than Whites...this suggests that there is a social element to crime rates as well, probably related to the status of these groups as 'persecuted minorities.' I respond:I have already discussed this in some of my other posts. It is true that elevated rates of crime among Asian-derived groups are somewhat mysterious.However, no one knows what the testosterone levels of any of these groups are, nor do we have much information about personality styles, although Richard Lynn claims that numerous studies show that Amerindians have elevated rates of sociopathy.However, they all have relatively low IQ's (Hispanics = 92*, Amerindians = 90*, Polynesians = 89*) and in modern industrial capitalism, lower-IQ groups resort to mass crime, probably due to failure to ach...

Interest rates and reserve requirements
2008-11-09 04:24:00 I was asked the following question yesterday in the Indian Current Affairs shout-box."When Federal bank of USA reduces interest rates, what rate exactly is that with context to RBI's? Is it in relation to CRR?"The simple answer to the question is NO. The complicated answer is:US Fed announces two different rates: the discount rate and the federal funds rate. The discount rate is the interest rate charged by the US Fed on the loans it gives to commercial banks. The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which banks lend to each other overnight. The US Fed only prescribes a target federal funds rate.In contrast, the RBI announces only the bank rate. This is the same as the US Fed discount rate. There is no equivalent for the federal funds rate from the RBI. Instead, it announces its repo and reverse repo rates. Market rates (i.e., lendings and borrowings among the market participants) are determined based on these repo and reverse repo rates. Repo rate is the rate the RB...
