November 4th, 2008

In any event, it is clear that Judge Presnell was not the first to use rock, paper, scissors to resolve commercial disputes in modern time. The August 2005 newsletter published by the Institute for Conflict Management (www.icmneutrals.com/news.htmlwww.icmneutrals.com/news.html) describes a 75 year-old Japanese businessman who was trying to choose between Christies and Sothebys to auction off his $17.8 million art collection for a commission of more than $2 million to the successful firm. Believing that both companies were equal and not wanting to insult either, he said that the winner would be determined by a game of rock, paper, scissors. That way, the loser would be considered unlucky, not unworthy. Sothebys said that this is a game and we really didnt give it that much thought. We had no strategy in mind.

November 3rd, 2008

The workings of each are slightly different but the effect is the same. Up to 85% of the debtor book can be drawn down. What is actually allowed will depend upon the perceived quality of your debtors the normal level of credits given by your company and how good the controls within the company are considered to be. Your draw down facility will be reduced to take account of any reciprocal trading, concentrations of trade, and any trade with a customer above and beyond the credit limit considered appropriate by the factoring company for that customer.

Hamilton is champion… on the final corner: ‘I’m thrilled. It’s been a long journey’

Fans of Lewis Hamilton were celebrating last night after a dramatic day of
twists and turns that saw him become the youngest world Formula One champion.

Pietersen’s men left to count the cost of failing to take full responsibility for their own actions

Nothing undermines the focus of an individual or team more than uncertainty, and in the days leading up to Saturday’s Twenty20 for $20m rout England did not give the impression of a team that really wanted to be in Antigua. Once Kevin Pietersen’s side realised that the country they represent was not wholly supportive of the initiative, and that a muddy sod was flying in their direction, they began searching for sympathy.

Seconds to spare as Hamilton snatches glory

For a few desperate moments, Felipe Massa had the world championship trophy in

there was nothing he could do about it.

Now let”s look at rising interest rates

October 18th, 2008

Now let”s look at rising interest rates. Imagine what those variable rate mortgages will look like in a few months! What about all those mortgages in excess of three hundred thousand dollars - what are these people going to do? Sell, no way the new buyers will never qualify because the interest rates have pushed up the payments so much. So they hang on and suffer. Okay now let”s look at rising gas prices. In the cold areas home heating oil costs are going to be $300-$400 per month higher this year (2005-2006 winter) than last year and they were high last year. So now the mortgage payment is up and so is the home heating cost. Now let”s add in the rising gas prices. Take a family where there are two commuters going an hour each way to work in their SUV”s. This is a common scenario in many parts of the USA. These people are spending an extra $400 - $600 a month on gas combined, and this gets added into the rising mortgage rates, the rising home heating oil costs, the rising health care costs. Wait it gets worse. When the food and hard goods manufacturers bill the supermarkets, stores etc. for food and goods they are adding in a fuel surcharge which gets added into the price you pay which means your cost of living is inflating again every time you buy anything in a store. Let”s look at credit cards. Lots of people are maxed out on their credit cards. If they read the terms of agreement with their credit card companies they will see that if their credit scores get adversely affected or they are late in payments the favorable low interest rates they got will go to the marginal credit interest rates (think 18%+). The real bad news is that when the credit card companies run their credit reports and see that they are maxed out on their cards that reduces their credit scores and thus the high rates will kick in. Have you noticed that America recently changed in Bankruptcy laws making it very difficult for a person to use the protection of the Bankruptcy Courts anymore, this is not a coincidence.

October 12th, 2008

Think on this often and visualize in your mind”s eye how your life would change for the better once the debt was gone. If you seriously want this to happen to you it will be easier to follow the next steps.
