Few Points to Discuss before You go For Home Equity
By Petra Amelia on October 15th, 2007
Here are some points that should be discussed with a trusted financial advisor before you go for home’s equity: Will your investment deliver a greater after-tax return than you’ll be paying for the loan? Does your home equity loan or line carry an adjustable rate? If so, a jump in interest rates may make what you owe even more expensive and further offset any gains you make in your investment.

It is the first time a mortgage broker has been found guilty of unconscionable conduct for writing unjust loans, and the precedent could leave thousands of mortgage brokers open to action by the corporate regulator and state fair trading bodies. “This case highlights that unscrupulous conduct in the mortgage industry is not acceptable and that mortgage brokers can be held responsible,” ASIC executive director of enforcement Jan Redfern said.

Bear Stearns and Debt Market Revival
By Petra Amelia on October 10th, 2007
Bear Stearns said it accumulated most of its losses last quarter, when the company, which is based in New York, had its biggest earnings decline in a decade because hedging models failed. The company, whose shares are down 22 percent this year, is avoiding “big directional bets” and will make risk management a priority over growth, Schwartz said. The collapse of two hedge funds, which bet on mortgages and lost $1.6 billion of clients’ money, triggered the market troubles when investors fled the riskiest debt. “I’m confident that Bear Stearns will weather the storm and come out a stronger, more diversified and a greater organization,” the chief executive, James Cayne, said at the conference.
