The Economist: Argentina’s debt default Gauchos and gadflies

I’ve read it several times and gain more insights every time I read it…

Creditors’ decade-long battle with Argentina shows just how tangled sovereign defaults can be Oct 22nd 2011 NEW YORKhttp://www.economist.com/node/21533453

AS GREECE flirts with disaster and several other European countries buckle under heavy debts, creditors’ experience with Argentina should serve as a sobering reminder about the mess that can follow a sovereign default. A decade after the Latin American country welshed on $81 billion, disgruntled creditors are still chasing their money. The litigation, and Argentina’s defiance in the face of judgments against it, complicate its plans to return to international capital markets....

Γιατί Ελλάδα Θέματα από τον Kevin Ε. Dayhoff 5 Δεκεμβρίου του 2012

TheTentacle.com http://tinyurl.com/dxxwya5

Δεδομένου ότι η παγκόσμια οικονομική ύφεση εισέρχεται έκτο χρόνο της, και «δημοσιονομική γκρεμό», η λεγόμενη αποκαλυπτική δεσπόζει στις ΗΠΑ, η ελληνική χορωδία επαναλαμβάνει σε αυτή την παγκόσμια οικονομική όπερα-έπαιξε από ένα all-πολύ γνωστό ρεφραίν την περασμένη Παρασκευή, όταν η γερμανική Bundestag εγκριθεί περισσότερα κεφάλαια διάσωσης για την Ελλάδα.

Ναι, Ελλάδα - ότι η μικρή χώρα των περίπου 11 εκατομμυρίων ανθρώπων στο ανατολικό τμήμα της Μεσογείου, ανάμεσα στην Ιταλία και την Τουρκία, με μόλις δύο τοις εκατό του συνολικού Ακαθάριστου Εγχώριου Προϊόντος της Ευρώπης, και άξια ανταγωνίζεται με την Αργεντινή και τις ΗΠΑ να κερδίσουν πάνω από 100 τοις εκατό του παγκόσμιου, του καθενός χρόνια, η οικονομική ημικρανία.

Θυμηθείτε, δεν ήταν πολύ καιρό μετά την Μεγάλη Ύφεση πήρε επίσημα ξεκινήσει το Δεκέμβριο του 2007, όταν άρχισαν να rumblings να ακούσει ότι η Ελλάδα ήταν τεχνικά σε πτώχευση.

"Η Ελλάδα ξεκίνησε την κρίση το 2009 με την εισδοχή το έλλειμμα του προϋπολογισμού θα είναι 12,9% του ΑΕΠ, πάνω από τέσσερις φορές της ΕΕ όριο του 3%», σύμφωνα με ένα άρθρο που γράφτηκε για About.com από την Kimberly Amado.

Πάνω από τα πολλά χρόνια από τότε που Ελλάδα εισήχθη για πρώτη φορά στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση το 1981, και ιδιαίτερα μετά το 2001, όταν εντάχθηκε στην ευρωζώνη? Ο ιστορικός γη της μυθολογίας, αρχαίου πολιτισμού, και την γενέτειρα των Ολυμπιακών Αγώνων, έχει ζήσει τεράστια, πολύ πέρα ​​από τα μέσα της και ταλαντεύτηκε προς αθέτησης των δανείων της και οικονομικό χάος για πάνω από τέσσερα χρόνια.

Πέστε ότι δεν είναι έτσι. Η Ελλάδα είναι η ουσία της αρχαίας λαϊκές παραδόσεις, οι αρχές της δημοκρατίας και της δυτικής φιλοσοφίας με μια τεκμηριωμένη ιστορία που χρονολογείται από τον 3ο αιώνα π.Χ., με ένα σύγχρονο, υψηλό βιοτικό επίπεδο, ότι το περιοδικό The Economist, εξίσου υψηλή θέση ως 22η στον κόσμο, όπως πρόσφατα ως 2005 ...

Why Greece Matters by Kevin E. Dayhoff December 5, 2012

TheTentacle.com http://tinyurl.com/dxxwya5

As the global financial recession enters its sixth year, and the so-called apocalyptic ‘fiscal cliff’ looms large in the U.S., the repeating Greek chorus in this global economic opera played-out an all-too familiar refrain last Friday when the German Bundestag approved more bailout funds for Greece.

Yes, Greece – that tiny country of approximately 11 million people in the eastern portion of the Mediterranean between Italy and Turkey, with barely two-percent of the entire Gross Domestic Product of Europe, and capably competes with Argentina and the U.S. to command over 100 percent of everyone’s global, chronic, economic migraine headache.

Remember, it was not long after the Great Recession officially got underway in December 2007, when rumblings started to be heard that Greece was technically bankrupt.

“Greece kicked off the crisis in 2009 by admitting its budget deficit would be 12.9% of GDP, more than four times the EU's 3% limit,” according to an article written for About.com by Kimberly Amado.

Over the many years since Greece was first admitted into the European Union in 1981, and especially since 2001 when it joined the eurozone; the storied land of mythology, ancient civilization, and the birthplace of the Olympics, has lived huge, way beyond its means and lurched toward defaulting on its loans and economic chaos for over four years.

Say it ain’t so. Greece is the stuff of ancient lore, the beginnings of democracy and western philosophy with a documented history that dates back to the 3rd century BC, with a modern, high standard of living that The Economist ranked as high as 22nd in the world as recently as 2005…

The Annual Report of Maryland’s Rural Development Council for FY 2000


The FORVM's Year in Review for FY 2000

The Annual Report of Maryland’s Rural Development Council

Rural Communities, Concerns & Consensus


http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-annual-report-of-marylands-rural.html

Labels: Ag, Ag Forum for Rural MD, Ag History Carroll Co, Bus Ag, Bus Econ, Bus Econ 2000,Business Economics, History 2000s, MD Gen Assembly Opera

At the start of this new century, the Maryland economy, like the national economy, is running full throttle. Maryland's agriculture industry has produced a bumper crop of corn and soybeans, and the state's historically downtrodden urban and rural regions are experiencing a positive up-tick in the traditional indicators of success. Unemployment rates are down. Consumer confidence is up.

Still, several counties in Western Maryland and on the Eastern Shore have unemployment rates significantly above the statewide average. Poor access to quality health care, the continuing loss of viable farm and forestland, a crumbling infrastructure, and the low availability of suitable housing and reliable transportation remain serious challenges for Marylanders to solve.

The FORVM for Rural Maryland identifies important issues facing rural communities and brings together diverse groups of people and policy-makers to work toward improving the quality of life in Rural Maryland. At the close of Fiscal Year 2000, thanks to the efforts of many of our partners, the FORVM is better positioned then ever to help rural communities achieve a better tomorrow. Here are some highlights of the year just concluded.

Eastern Shore Economic Development

At the request of The Eastern Shore General Assembly Delegation, Governor Parris Glendening appointed the Eastern Shore Economic Development Task Force late last year. More than 100 people from across the Eastern Shore met over several months to study and craft short- and long-term solutions to many challenging economic problems.

Eight subcommittees of the task force, composed of members from each of the nine Eastern Shore counties, submitted individual and regional issues, concerns, and recommendations which the steering committee outlined by economic area. The task force's final report forms the basis of a comprehensive, long-range regional economic development strategy, both for individual counties and the Eastern Shore as a whole.

To preserve the integrity of the Eastern Shore, the Task Force agreed that the following six recommendations require immediate attention.

1)       Create water and wastewater treatment systems as identified in individual county master plans to handle current and future needs.

2)       Establish funding mechanisms, organize producer cooperatives, and promote production and marketing alternatives to enhance the sustainability of the agriculture and seafood industries. Use the statewide study currently underway to examine the impact of agriculture and poultry on Eastern Shore economy

3)       Implement a high-speed fiber-optic network on the Eastern Shore to meet current and future needs.

4)       Promote the development of an integrated regional public transportation system for the entire Eastern Shore and Delmarva area that includes securing long-term funding (at least five years) from the Maryland Mass Transit Administration and the Federal government.

5)       Support local Workforce Investment Boards efforts to aid in motivating and training residents seeking to participate in the labor force.

6)       Create two permanent regional planning organizations, charged with planning for and taking the required steps in achieving the desired business, economic, and community outcomes for the regions, including the timely implementation of the recommendations of the Eastern Shore Economic Development Task Force.

The Task Force and the Eastern Shore Delegation has asked the FORVM, in the role of a neutral facilitator, to help implement this last recommendation by working collaboratively with local officials to establish these regional councils. The FORVM will be working diligently toward that end in coming months.

Washington Post: Obama to use a recess appointment to name Cordray as nation’s top consumer watchdog


The Washington PostWednesday, January 4, 2012 10:09:15 AM
POLITICS NEWS ALERT

Obama to use a recess appointment to name Cordray as nation’s top consumer watchdog

The Obama administration will appoint Richard Cordray as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, using a rare recess appointment to get around the Senate's rejection of the nomination last month, sources said. The president will announce the move on Wednesday at an appearance in Cleveland, but it could spark a legal challenge from the Senate.

Consumer confidence rises to near post-recession peak

Consumer confidence rises to near post-recession peak

Consumer confidence rises to near post-recession peak

The Consumer Confidence index was 64.5 in December, a gain of nearly 10 points from November, according to the monthly survey from the Conference Board.


By Tiffany Hsu, Los Angeles Times
December 27, 2011, 4:12 p.m.

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-consumer-confidence-retail-20111228,0,624437.story

Consumers are feeling better about the economy, according to the monthly survey from the Conference Board that shows confidence levels near the post-recession peak.

The Consumer Confidence index stood at 64.5 in December, up nearly 10 points from a revised 55.2 in November. That month was itself a 15-point gain from October's 40.9, the lowest level since the recession.

Although the index is still below the 90 level that economists consider the threshold for a stable economy, December's rating that was released Tuesday was the highest since 66 in April.

The highest the index has been since the recession ended was 72 in February.

More shoppers believe that business conditions are good — 16.6% compared with 13.9% in November, according to the Conference Board. And fewer people — 41.8% compared with 43% in November — say that jobs are hard to find.

A higher percentage also said that the outlook for business and jobs will continue to improve during the next six months.

A similar, weekly index from pollster Gallup also saw consumer confidence improve in December. That measure, which was also released Tuesday, combined Americans' ratings of current economic conditions and their perceptions of whether the economy is deteriorating or improving.

Gallup said December is shaping up as the most optimistic month since June.

But consumers are still more dour than they were in the summer... http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-consumer-confidence-retail-20111228,0,624437.story

Lawsuit alleges fraud in real estate transactions

Lawsuit alleges fraud in real estate transactions


By Jamie Smith Hopkins, The Baltimore Sun
9:04 p.m. EST, December 19, 2011

Several Baltimore-area homeowners are suing the largest residential real estate team in the state, alleging a "scheme of fraud and misrepresentations" involving home purchases, sales and financing.
The suit, a proposed class action, names the Creig Northrop Team, Long & Foster and several mortgage firms — including Long & Foster's Prosperity Mortgage Co. — as defendants.
A similar lawsuit brought against the Northrop team by a Howard County couple was settled in March... http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/real-estate/bs-bz-creig-northrop-lawsuit-20111219,0,1629264.story

Jamie Smith Hopkins - The Baltimore Sun Real Estate Wonk

Labels: , , , , , 

DECEMBER 21, 2011


Most say 'good time to buy,' few say 'good time to sell'

Most Americans surveyed by the group that provides the data for a widely tracked measure of consumer confidence say it's a good time to buy a home -- but not a good time to sell one.
This will probably not come as a shock.  http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/business/realestate/blog/
