    Crisis, Finance No Comments

    Financial Crisis In the comings and goings of UnidosLuego order has been approved by the Emergency Law of Financial Stabilization in United States that provide financial assistance in an important principle to be a part of no less than 700 billion dollars and then go increasing but at the time it imposes a set of rules to the financial market that would give the system more transparent and comptroller.

    Are a set of rules that seek to regulate the free market and therefore has been heavily debated law that was finally adopted despite the fact that at first, primarily from Republican legislators had strong resistance to the measure and were not inclined to go against their own “Bible”, a free market.

    But after negotiations have been carried forward and will now be implemented gradually to give greater stability to the finance system of the country and the world as it is evident that the United States has influence in the global economy.

    Economic analysts are cautious and want to wait how the market will react to these measures and in what time they can see the results.

    The lessons we should learn from investors in 2009

    Crisis, Economy, Finance, investment No Comments

    1. Make sure their own funds
    You must understand where their money is invested and why. You can rely on consultants, but at the end of the day, you have the results, not them.

    2. DO NOT RELY ON AN INVESTOR
    Thank God not everyone is Bernard Madoff, but most of the best and brightest of Wall Street lost 40% or more this year.

    3. DO NOT INVEST IN SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT UNDERSTAND
    For years I refused to recommend the shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for this reason, despite the efforts of various market sources.

    4. EXPERTS ALSO FAIL
    Take all the predictions of experts with a pinch of salt. Some economists predicted successfully 12 of the last four recessions, but some were wrong.

    5. His grandmother was right: SAVE
    A penny saved is a penny earned. In an economy where it is easier to borrow $ 10,000 to find an electrician, this is a problem.

    6. Avoid unnecessary risks
    Most investment mistakes are usually those that you take that and not lost.

    Obama, a graduate in law from Harvard in 1991, is surrounded by intellectuals who, as president, have gravitated toward public service. Bring expertise in public policy and partisan politics, not ideology that characterized the Bush Administration, said Jeffrey Frankel, Professor of Capital Formation and Growth at Harvard’s Kennedy School

    Finance No Comments
    Obama In EeuuAprobado measures in the plan this week to save the U.S. economy and reactivate it with billions of dollars, President Obama also seeks to help those who have most suffered the brunt of these economic problems.
    I mean those who are in a delicate situation with their mortgages in the sense that they can not be paid.

    So the U.S. government, with its brand new president has announced a plan of 75 billion dollars (59.537 billion euros) in aid for the mortgage. Are no less than nine million households that will benefit from this plan to try lightening your mortgage.

    Specifically are 4 million home owners who may keep their homes thanks to this support and 5 million will be given the opportunity to refinance their debts.

    The mortgage company Fannie Mae Freddie Mac, largely financed with public money will act as collateral for these transactions. But as a way to give more reliability to the process has increased involvement with public money by buying shares by the Treasury and I also wanted to give more flexibility to the process.

    More than 200 billion dollars have been acquired in preferred shares by the Treasury to increase the size of real estate portfolios to 900 billion dollars.

    Has been secured from Obama that this is the beginning of the end of the crisis in that country. This measure is expected to increase the value of the home and invigorate the building sector as the engine of the economy.

    Economy, investment No Comments

    John Auters writer for the Financial Times shows the actual performances (which offset the effect of inflation) in assets available for investment in the United States from 1900 to 2009.

    In this interesting chart we can see how the equity market shares or assets that are more historical yields have offered a 6% year on year. Although it is a very good performance in terms of dollars, it is important to note that this rate corresponds to the change in share price plus reinvestment of dividends to be paid over time. Moreover, if we look at the gray line of the chart, notice the simple appreciation in stock price, has they have surrendered so interannual just 1.7%. Here the importance of the reinvestment of dividends and the power of compound interest. The red line shows the real yield on bonds or fixed income market, which includes everything that is corporate debt, with a 2.1%, and finally the American Treasury notes up to a 1% real return, which Obviously by being classified as instruments of lower probability of default in the world.

    From this graph we can obtain three key findings.

    • The long-term investors perform better in terms of performance and decrease the volatility of their investments.

    • The need to reinvest the dividends received by our assets to achieve optimal results.

    • The long term has had the ability to overcome all the crises of the last century as much of this.
