The Indian Financial Market Scenario

Posted by Filed Under business & economy news with No Comments

The financial market for any nation depends on the well-being of the money market and the investors in long-term and short-term investments. But why should investments occur? For a nation to witness growth and harness the power of its resources, investments are essential and thus to start up any business unit for that matter, investments are of a key concern. This not only depends on the ready availability of the money in the market, but also to a great deal on the mechanism of transmission of such funds and the interaction between the lenders and borrowers.

The Indian financial market essentially comprises of two major segments: The money market and the capital market. The money market deals with short-term investments and turnover of money, whereas the capital market deals with long-term investments and thus the turnover of long-term credit. The money market does not deal with a specific location or a certain amount of money. Instead it deals with a whole lot of financial institutions and other organizations that are involved in the transactions of the funds and short-term investments.

Money market also takes into account the various investors in the market who tend to supply the various funds and the other dealings that happen over telephone, e-mail and more. The Reserve Bank of India, Co-operative banks and other NBFCs form a major part of the money market as well. Well-known common examples of money market transaction involve the short-term deposits and investments that happen in any common bank. Commercial bills, Treasury bills, Call money and much more form a part of these transactions in the money market.

Another popular term associated with the money market is the intraday. What is intraday? In simple words, intraday can be defined as the ups and lows of the security. For instance, a new intraday refers to the upliftment in the value of the security in the money market. So, turnovers and new intradays are ideal signs of a vital money market in the country.

Capital Market on the other hand deals with medium and long-term funds, mostly stocks and shares. It requires the involvement of financial organizations that require pledging of investments for borrowing money. The most common and popular mode of investment is the equity sharemarket, that is involved in the upbringing of new organizations. The only disadvantage of such a sharemarket is that unlike the preference shares, once declined, there is no means of retrieval.

Reliance Share Price in the Indian market has been the most popular amongst investors ever since the industry plunged into the making of cellular phones and had their shares boosted up in the equity as well as the preferential markets. But, the present scenario doesn’t seem to work well for the Ambanis. Reliance share price has been facing a constant set back in the market with prices dropping as low as 13% and even more day by day. Latest news that have crept up state that Reliance Capital have decided to sell away their stake to Nippon Japan, one of the leading investment stake holders in the foreign investment sector of the share market India.

How Counterfeit Products Enter The Global Market

Posted by Filed Under business & economy news with No Comments

Counterfeit product is a result of consumer zeal for particular product, a supply side that cannot keep up, greed, and dubious business practices by the offenders.

Consumer products are not just handbags or shoes in this case, the products can range from non-vital goods to life saving medicine. As long as there is a market and a method to manufacture fake goods or diverted legitimate one illegal trade will exist.

For the sake of clarity in this article we should exclude Gray Market activities, but concede they are a detriment to the brand holder and in the long run hurt both consumers by driving up cost and the business by cutting profits.

The most effective way to create counterfeit product for market is to manufacture and/or sell in a geographic location where a lax legal system is present, raw material and labor are cheap and readily accessible.

Products are created than shipped in any number of fashions to the markets that are targeted. Since many of these markets are outside of the home country of the intellectual property holder finding the counterfeits can be costly and time consuming.

Not only are these products being shipped direct to the intended markets but many of the manufacture and relying upon additional “channels” to sell product. One of the fastest growing channels is the online area.

Since online commerce has matured over the past years the ease in which online store fronts can be created and managed has proven very profitable to counterfeiters. Multiple store fronts, geographically specific offerings, and local languages all make illegal commerce to unsuspecting consumers easy.

Reports by global manufactures have proven China, year over year; originate the majority of the world counterfeit items. It should be noted that recently efforts for national and foreign owned intellectual property protection have resulted in action to curb this behavior.

Free Market Capitalism Killed Our American Economy? A Ghost Story

Posted by Filed Under business & economy news with No Comments

Everywhere I turn, I see, read and hear how capitalism has destroyed the American economy. The political Left blames capitalism outright, while the political Right claims capitalism is the American ideal. The elitists in banking, government, academia and the media give lip-service to the idea of a free market, when they, in fact, have no use for it. The real purpose of claiming that free markets are the American ideal is to give the collectivist a scapegoat to blame for all their nefarious wealth redistribution programs. Too many of today’s activists have fallen for this intentional misdirection.

Blaming free market capitalism for our economic problems is accusing a ghost. It has been dead for a long time. It was first stabbed in the back in 1913 when the U.S. Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act and the United States Revenue Act (creating the IRS).

The Federal Reserve Act gave a private cartel of international bankers control over the very essence of a free market; our medium of exchange, our money. This put the free market into a death spiral. Now factor in the Legal Tender Act which prohibits any form of lawful money except the Federal Reserve Note. It is this Legal Tender Law that gives the Federal Reserve bankers their money monopoly. Without this law, individual enterprise could offer alternative commodity-backed money and compete with the FRB head to head. But honest competition is not what the elitist central planners want. Well, at least our new federal money still had some value. It was backed by gold, but not for long.

The Federal Reserve can control interest rates by expanding or contracting the quantity of money. It can control the financial markets with its “Open Market Operations.” It can create new money to increase its member’s bank reserves at any time. It can negotiate with foreign banks on monetary policies without congressional approval or knowledge. And it can do all of this with virtually no oversight by any elected representative of the people. Even the Government Accounting Office responsible for auditing all government agencies, has no auditing authority over the Federal Reserve, a private corporation not a government agency.

Without the ability to judge the cost of capital by the true market value of interest rates, determined by the availability of savings for investing and future consumption, no free market can correctly judge its financial health. These false signals along with government regulations are what create booms and busts in our economy, not free market actions. The Federal Reserve and the government manipulate the appearance of economic prosperity for personal and political gain and then blame free market capitalism when the inevitable adjustments occur (busts).

By creating the Internal Revenue Service (collection arm of the Federal Reserve), government makes the claim that our individual production, property and privacy no longer, in any real sense, belongs to us. Congress can change the tax rates and rules at any time, favoring some at the expense of others, and is about to do so again. This privilege of the central planners has driven many a productive individual to send their manufacturing and creative endeavors elsewhere. This put American free market capitalism on life support, still breathing, but barely.

In 1933, by Executive Order of the President (FDR), all Americans were required to surrender their gold to the government. This took away our right to trade in the most respected of all possible commodities used to secure value in our economic exchanges. Not only did government confiscate our gold, they also prohibited redemption of U.S. Dollars for gold by any American. Of course, the international bankers were still allowed to exchange dollars for gold. Now you know where our gold went. FDR pulled the plug on value-backed money for American enterprise, dooming free market capitalism to a slow and painful death.

In 1971, President Nixon reneged on the “Bretton Woods Accord” removing the international gold redemption for the U.S. dollar. Unfortunately, it was too late. It is probable that the international bankers already own most of what was our country’s gold. No longer would our dollars be backed by anything other than our central banker’s and government’s “Good Faith.” No free market can exist without the right to exchange productive value for productive value. In the years that followed, no longer constrained by a gold-backed dollar, big government warfare/welfare spending exploded.

What we have today is not free market capitalism, it is corporatism. Corporatism is a form of fascism, where big business and government work as partners at the expense of the productive class. We have the military/pharmaceutical/energy/media/industrial complex and the elitist central planners of big government ruling our country. We see a revolving door of big business CEO’s and bankers taking key government positions of power. They then move back into their private positions after accomplishing their goals of amassing great wealth for their friends and themselves. This is the outward signs of corporatism for everyone to see. But few are aware or care!

The change we were promised, if we would just vote for anyone except a Republican, is only a change in the national figurehead. Only in such an environment of big government and corporatism is greed truly rampant. Free market capitalism and the Rule of Law can not exist in the same society with either.

We who believe in free markets under the rule of law can not argue against a lie unless we expose it for the lie it is. The free market died when our money became nothing more than the confiscation of our production. Tell America to stop dragging around the corpse of free market capitalism as its whipping boy. We should all have the decency to give the dead some respect for what might have been.

Rest In Peace, Free Market Capitalism!

Market Fluctuations- Business For Sale Australia

Posted by Filed Under business & economy news with No Comments

Everybody in Business Market is aware that certainly 2009 was not a good year to sell for most owners who wanted to exit their businesses. In fact, closed business-for-sale transactions in the United States declined by 28 percent in 2009, as per a recent report.

The good news, is that 2010 shows strong potential for being a much better year for the business-for-sale market. Indeed, the latter part of 2009 demonstrated clear signs of recovery that began mid-year. There are two driving forces behind the improving market. First is an increased demand for small businesses due to high unemployment rates, with unemployed individuals opting to give entrepreneurship a try rather than seeking a return to a traditional corporate job. Second is the return of capital to the market, which gives potential buyers the ability to finance the purchase of a small business.

Additionally, businesses that require smaller levels of capital investment, including select service businesses and Restaurants for sale in Australia, are helping to lead the evolving recovery in the business-for-sale marketplace. Business owners and buyersin these two sectors are seeing an opportunity to transact that wasn’t there six months ago. What the Future Holds:-Overall, 2010 is shaping up to be a much more productive year for small business transactions and we can anticipate slow but consistent recovery throughout the year.

Throughout the recession, small-business owners have focused on running their businesses and staying a float. Exit planning and considering the worth of their business were of little concern and the number of businesses for sale declined significantly. As the economy continues to improve the owners are finding a good market with desirable prices to sell their business. Remember, preparing your business for sale takes time and a listed business will typically take five to twelve months to sell. If you want to sell within the next two years, you need to start the process now.

The San Diego County Housing Market and Economy: Ahead of the Pack

Posted by Filed Under business & economy news with No Comments

THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY HOUSING MARKET AND ECONOMY: AHEAD OF THE PACK

 

 

San Diego, CA- The United States has witnessed sporadic and ambivalent messages regarding our definitive position along the path to the much anticipated economic stabilization and recovery process. As the federal government rushes to provide financial aid to struggling homeowners and financial institutions in efforts to stabilize the largest recession in recent history, many still remain uncertain of what lies ahead for the San Diego County housing market and economy.

The San Diego County housing market has erupted from its dormancy as newly released MDA DataQuick market research indicated a 15.8 percent year-over-year increase in median home prices from March 2009- 2010, the largest year-over-year increase in home valuations in five years.  Furthermore, of the six counties that comprise Southern California, home sales were up 33 percent in March over February, and were up five percent over 2009 levels, according to MDA DataQuick.   Analysts have attributed many factors for this sudden rise in home valuations, and many remain skeptical of the sustainability of this type of growth.

An analyst for DataQuick, Andrew LePage attributes the large spike in home prices to the increase in sales in the upper-tier real estate market. LePage states, “It’s price softness in the high-end that is driving sales and bringing up the high-end total contribution to countywide sales.”

The first quarter of 2010 also saw fewer lending institutions initiate the formal foreclosure process on distressed homeowners. According to MDA DataQuick, San Diego ‘s notices of default, the first step in the foreclosure process, plummeted 39 percent compared to the first quarter of 2009.  San Diego real estate economist and financial advisor, Rich Toscano states, “Much of the government intervention in the housing market, notably low-down payment FHA loans, government guaranteed conforming loans, and the first-time buyer tax credit, has had an inordinate impact on entry-level homes. The price tier that contains these homes is going gangbuster as a result. Meanwhile, the upper-tier, which doesn’t benefit from the stimulus as much as the low tier, stagnates.” Toscano believes this divergence illustrates how the “housing rebound” is mostly being driven by government stimulus and intervention rather than economic fundamentals. But wasn’t that the purpose of the government stimulus to begin with? The stimulus was purposefully instituted to stabilize declining home prices and provide aid to homeowners in distress, all of which has seemed to be realized from the latest statistical data. Buyers are taking advantage of the incentives to purchase within the hardest hit housing sector, the low-tier.

Unemployment and job creation, both hot topics amongst political adversaries, have also shown incremental gains in the first quarter of 2010 within San Diego County. According to the California Employment Development Department’s latest estimates, San Diego not only added jobs in March, but the year-over-year rate of employment decline also fell to its slowest pace since December 2008. The skeptical Rich Toscano, states on his blog, Piggington’s Econo-Almanac, “Employment has been increasing for two months, while at this time last year it was dropping in spite of a tendency towards seasonal strength. There may be fewer people actually employed than last year, but that number is now growing instead of shrinking.” He adds, “It’s too early to tell whether a more enduring employment recovery is underway, but for the first time in a while, the data suggests that it’s at least a possibility.” Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors, has similar concerns. In his latest commentary, Yun states, “Steadily rising employment will be essential to keeping housing positive once the credits disappear.” While the national unemployment rate remains high and many believe unlikely to improve much in the near future, economists like Mark Zandi of Moody’s Economy.com, expects the unemployment rate to be 10.2 percent at year’s end, up from 9.7 percent in March. At the end of 2011, he predicts a still hefty 8.6 percent jobless rate.

Credit conditions remain tight and are expected to get tighter. Around a third of home sales in recent months have been financed by loans by the Federal Housing Administration, which allows down payments as low as 3.5 percent, however, the FHA is tightening its terms somewhat.  James Hagerty of the Wall Street Journal states, “By early summer, the FHA plans to reduce the maximum amount a seller can contribute to the buyer’s costs—such as loan origination, legal appraisal fees—to 3 percent of the home price from 6 percent. That means buyers will have to save more to meet their closing costs. John Burns, a real estate consultant in Irvine, California adds, “A survey of builders by his firm found that they expected the FHA changes to eliminate as many as 15 percent of potential buyers.”

Despite skeptical rhetoric surrounding the local San Diego County housing market and economy, Coastal San Diego luxury real estate specialists Kip Boatcher and Eileen Anderson of Anderson+Boatcher, a strategic partnership under Willis Allen state, “The recent activity in the upper-tier luxury real estate market is unprecedented.”  Since the beginning of 2010 Anderson+Boatcher has approximately placed over 25 million dollars of residential real estate in escrow, and has already closed escrow on approximately 10 million dollars worth of inventory. They have experienced a slew of high net worth clients purchase homes with all cash offers. Kip Boatcher adds, “These buyers were simply not there a year ago.  They have been waiting for signs of stabilization and recovery for a few years now. Both, real estate buyers and sellers in San Diego have noticed the trend toward stabilization and have now begun the process of actively pursuing their goals of buying and selling.”

Eileen Anderson attributes recovering consumer confidence as a leading factor for the rapid influx of market activity. “Our listing portfolio has nearly doubled this year alone. Sellers are practicing their own due diligence, they are searching for the best luxury real estate marketers with the most advanced network of high net worth real estate investors and asset managers. We are selling homes before we can even place a for sale sign on the property,” says Eileen Anderson.

Surprisingly, custom homesites have also been a hot ticket item for Anderson+Boatcher, citing the diminished building costs to construct a custom estate as a leading factor for their high demand.  ”In many instances, today’s market has made it possible to build a custom home in an established coastal community for significantly less than the cost of purchasing an existing home with comparable views and location”, proclaims Kip Boatcher. He adds, “Luxury homebuyers know what they want, how they want it, and they are willing to wait for the perfect opportunity, like we are seeing today.”

P.J. Roustan, the Director of Marketing and Communications for Anderson+Boatcher, attributes their success to a focused and targeted approach to real estate marketing. Roustan states, “We directly market our services and listings to the most appropriate target audiences. Our strategic integrated marketing communications approach highlighted by the advanced use of media technology, a highly stylized user-friendly website, Architecture Digest quality photography, and a team of industry leading market analysts have made Anderson+Boatcher a force poised to dominate the Coastal San Diego luxury real estate market.” P.J. Roustan adds, ” Luxury real estate buyers are there, they never left. They have been simply waiting out the storm, regrouping, and gathering information to make sound decisions for this next real estate cycle.”

Despite growing concerns surrounding the sustainability of a full economic recovery in the near future, San Diego County has remained a bright spot and glimmer of hope for those searching for answers and signs of any substantive economic progress. San Diego can be viewed as a microcosm for the greater US or a sample market, as we begin to see empirical evidence and data supporting signs of incremental progress.
