Auction that could make all happy

It must often business associates members are already quite familiar with the concept of an auction, whether painting auction, auction house, auction of art objects that could be a future investment. But sometimes such auction occurred only occasionally and sometimes not for everyone.

As with the auction of this one. Recently I saw an auction of Telkomsel which I feel very easy, fair and can be followed by everyone. This auction is named Telkomsel Auction Points.

Auction this one I think is really simple and auctioned items is also different from regular auctions that we follow.

Imagine, every day we can follow the auction at no extra charge anything, Telkomsel kindly give us the point that each of us filling pulse phones. For example this morning I was filling pulse of Rp. 100,000, all of a sudden I check via SMS to 777, the points I’ve accumulated per day was reached 37.000 points.

So what can we do with that many points? Lots of ….

- There are 3 units of 32GB iPhone 3Gs for 3 people who have the most points and this event will end on 11 November 2010. So for you who just know how many points you try to check now and keep the contents of your pulse, collect as much as to win the prize is not through the mechanism of the draw, just who is the most points would win

- Then make you a new check and it already has as many points as a minimum of 1000 points, Telkomsel Auction Includes follow-up points, because here you can follow-up have fun jamming bid points with other users Telkomsel. I’ve tried, the mechanism is easy anyway, we first SMS typed first auction, and send to 777. Do not worry pulse discharged because the mechanism is a mechanism of SMS SMS is normal, suppose I use the Ace Card SMS credits are subject to only Ease back later if we are not winning the auction, points that we want to include in the Auction Telkomsel Points can be returned to us. In other words, the number of points we do not burn …

If you have participated and won, does that mean you can not join the auction again? Well he is a great of Telkomsel, as long as you meet the minimum number of points, 1000 points, even though you win 100 times, you can still win many times.

According to one information I can from practitioners in Singapore financial planner, financial planning is so progress toward the future. Will appear more and more independent financial planner who will offer financial planning services by using the instruments from various institutions. Thus, clients have more choices in determining the financial planning that he wanted.

In addition, I observed, accessibility to independent institutions is also increasingly easy. What I mean is access to independent fund house as I referred to above. There was even an independent fund house that specialized in providing investment services in the unit trust by providing a choice of unit trusts from various fund houses

Observe some cases using the reference amount to be invested. Let’s say you invest up to $ 2,500 in a business. For this amount, the only option that would be available would be a bank note, we assume available between 9 and 12 percent annual interest. It is not difficult to give you your own company interests greater than this amount.

For amounts ranging from $ 5.000 to $ 15.000, a good indicator is the average performance of an investment company debt and common, ie, operators that invest in government instruments and shares of companies (together the amount of many small access to investors and financial spaces usually reserved for big cities).

The average annual return that provide these figures, ranging from 15 to 22 percent. A very respectable and competitive compared to good business. If your investment capacity is in this area examines how the company will open you will give as much or more the first year of operation.

For larger amounts, say from $ 20.000 There are two good parameters: one, the performance of Cetes and another (reality adjusted risk of a business) is undoubtedly the index of the Stock Exchange. This is when you compare if the amount of money you invest in a company will receive about the same level of performance than if they invested in these alternatives.

Now, you think that the business will ride plans to recoup their investment until the second or third year of operations. In this case you should request that you make a projection of what would earn during that period in other investment options. Of course this is much more difficult, because the projections can be altered radically (for better or worse) for reasons totally unexpected by analysts. Here the risk increases.

More than loans is an informative guide of banking, finance and insurance. We talked about loans, loans, mortgages, insurance … and economy. The main objective of more than loans is the collection of information on banking products and financial data relevant to the financial sector. In this manner and to the extent possible, assist users seeking information about or related to these products to decide what interests them most.

Before hiring any such product we make sure which one is best according to our interests and entities that use strategies that offer yet serve a customer or otherwise, needs to be informed on current products.

Speaking of such loans, loans in more than understand that a personal loan is not always the best option for getting extra money so you can find information on various products and are fast loans, emergency loans, debt refinancing and long etcetera.

Should be carefully and thoroughly analyze the pros and cons of these products. For example, in the case of loans or credits, the slope of January, after-school expenses, buying a new car, home improvements or any unexpected expense can be addressed through emergency loans or credits fast. Because banks are most at risk is not surprising that these financial products have a higher interest mortgage loans taking into account not have any guarantee in case of default of the loan or credit.

Ultimately, more than loans to be a guide and information portal for those people or companies seeking information and wish to contrast the different products offered by this market.

From here we have reported and analyzed in more than one occasion about the real possibility that China will grow even more in recent years to position itself as the second largest economy in the world. Finally, this occurred after overtaking Japan for decades and abetting the United States as regards the world economy.

However, we have also advised of the possibility of occurrence of a financial bubble in the Asian giant, which occur if a new crisis could generate even greater than that generated by U.S. mortgages.

At the same time, China has 1300 million inhabitants, of whom 70 percent belong to the lower class and poor. Analysts estimate that Chinese power in the long term will form an area of increasing power with the BRIC, which also includes Russia, India and Brazil.

For its part, the Brazilians say within the next 10 years, the country will be the second largest economy in the world. Will China be the first? United States will fall further? Some believe that Americans will recede in the medium to long term, which should not surprise a new global financial paradigm in the coming decades.

The world economy has not yet left the financial crisis originated in U.S. mortgages. To date, there are continents that move more firmly in crisis and there are those who are unable to recover the positive activity prior to 2008. However, each continent or rather each region develops indexes based on context.

For example, Asia will grow this year by more than 8 percent, based mainly on exports and consumption is record. In Europe, the continent will suffer a cut in financial aid as the European Central Bank (ECB) announced that it will not renew some of the various support measures. “

On one of the world’s leading exporters, Germany, the economy has shown a rearrangement with a rebound in consumption. On the side of Spain, unemployment and covers 4 million people. In Latin America, while many of the constituent countries have improved their economies, like Asia.

Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund does not ignore the greatest crisis of the modern era. He estimated the cost of the latest crisis was 2.2 billion and, last but not least, warned about a possible new crisis.

A company called the GDS Publishing once did some further investigation as well as sharp researches over the Internet world. Just like the company once taught, the result of the investigation was shocked both the company itself and also the society. It said that from time to time, in only one year, the number of scammers around the world has increased rapidly, no matter how big they actions are. As for the victims numbers are quite surprising too, that many people are easily caught and trapped by the scammers’ offers and words.

GDS Publishing Scam has shown the world that although people are getting better and better within each day, there are some of them who use this good ability to set a trap up. The investigation data said that among the fraud and scam activities, a big part of them is using the Internet to hack and to get a private access to some credit card accounts, bank accounts, debt accounts, and other financial accounts. And even these scammers fraud many public service companies, such as a loan company for example.

In order to reduce this enlarging number, GDS Publishing and other companies that has done the same investigation, encourages and urges the societies all over the world to take a good look in every transaction they are about to do using the Internet service, especially when the transaction is held with other parties from another country. This way both you and others who user this online access will never trapped in one awful condition caused by scam actions.

Governments still cringe at the prospect of a downgrade by them. The companies still paying large sums for their services. The credit rating agencies (ACC) appear to have been great survivors of the financial crisis. But that could be changing.

Recently, the Financial Stability Council of Europe (FSB, for its acronym in English) explained what he called “Principles to Reduce Reliance on Ratings ACC.” According to the chairman of the FSB, the Bank of Italy Governor Mario Draghi, the goal is “to reduce the undesirable effects that may have mechanical dependence of the qualifications of the credit bureaus.” You agree that this will not be achieved quickly, in part because the reliance on the credit bureaus has been so strong in some quarters that mean they simply do not have the ability to assess financial risk and need time to build that capacity.

Draghi is also adamant that the intention is not to prohibit credit bureaus, but only diminish its importance. The current dependence is such that they can have what the FSB called “cliff effect” as those experienced recently when a downgrade “can amplify the procyclicality and cause systemic disruptions.”

Mario Draghi

Governments like Ireland, which this month received another blow to agency, surely would agree with these statements. Many investors, however, would be much ruder than Draghi and the FSB. Would argue that ratings agencies got their triple A carefree way to most of derivatives backed by mortgages that investment banks created the tail of high-risk loans if, as has been amply demonstrated, should have been marked with a skull and bones instead of a seal of approval.

The conflict of interests that characterizes the role of agencies today remains an important issue as much as it was in the happy times before Lehman went bankrupt: the customer looking for a rating agency pays for you to provide. As he told The Wall Street Journal Paul Stevenson, a former executive at Moody’s, after the outbreak of the crisis: “The latest problem is that the rating process turned into a negotiation.”

When the U.S. Senate investigated the role of agencies in the crisis, was a succession of evidence indicating that such “negotiations” exchanged a good grade for fee income? An e-mail from an employee not appointed by Standard & Poor’s said that the group of residential mortgage-backed securities of the agency “had become so dependent on its largest emitters to produce income to develop a Stockholm Syndrome …” , a reference to the syndrome in which hostages develop positive feelings for their captors.

But despite the criticisms that have been conducted on the agencies and their practices, the system remains unchanged and, as seen with the recent excitement generated by their sovereign debt ratings, continue to wield great power. Read the rest of this entry »
