John Armour and Doug Cumming of the Centre of Business Research (CBR) say the link is true when applied to Bankruptcy Laws, and is as important a factor as economic conditions and buoyant capital markets. They say the finding is significant, given that it was thought previously that the depth and liquidity of the stock market was the overriding factor. "Favourable tax and legal environments help the establishment of venture capital and private equity funds and increase the supply of capital," said a report produced by the pair. "Similarly, temperate Bankruptcy Laws stimulate entrepreneurialism and increase the demand for venture capital," they added. For their study, Armour and Cumming carried out an international comparison of the legal and tax regimes in 15 countries over 13 years, and found that investor friendly regimes had a good supply of, and demand for, private equity. An investigation of each country's Bankruptcy Laws showed that those with tighter regimes, like in Germany where bankrupts must wait six years before starting again, there is significantly less demand for venture capital. The findings are particularly topical in the UK where insolvency Laws were changed this month to allow 'honest bankrupts' the option of starting up again after 12 months, instead of three years previously. One of the key aims of this and other reforms was to "aid rehabilitation and business start-ups and re-starts". "Many entrepreneurs rely on p ... Source: www.moreover.com --- 8 days ago

Congress has probably done all that we can expect to prevent foreclosure with the housing bill passed last month. Because of its poor design, the Congressional Budget Office projects that it will only help 260,000 families facing foreclosure. This bill also gave Fannie and Freddie a pass, bailing out its stockholders and its hugely overpaid and incompetent managers (competent managers don't put companies into Bankruptcy) while imposing no real conditions on these companies' conduct. Congress only imposes conditions when the issue is welfare for poor people. Among other things, Congress could have required that Fannie and Freddie follow the model that Sheila Bair of the FDIC is pursuing following its takeover of the bankrupt subprime lender IndyMac. She has stopped foreclosures on IndyMac's mortgages and is trying to arrange workouts with homeowners. There is also Representative Raul Grijalva's Saving Family Homes Act , which would give homeowners facing foreclosure the option to stay in their home for up to 20 years as renters paying the market rent. But no expects Congress to pass this one any time soon. That means that the task of protecting homeowners will fall to state and local governments, and the homeowners themselves. Fortunately, there are steps that can be taken. States can also pass "own to rent" Laws comparable to the Saving Family Homes Act. These Laws give homeowners security in their home. If they like their house, t ... Source: www.law.com --- 17 days ago

A paper from Viral Acharya, Yakov Amihud, and Lubomir Litov shows something which makes a lot of intuitive sense: if you beef up creditor rights, you beef up corporate risk-aversion -- and that can be bad for growth. They conclude: Our results suggest that there might be a dark side to strong creditor rights in that they can induce costly risk avoidance in corporate policies. Thus, stronger creditor rights may not necessarily be optimal. Elizabeth Warren applies this result to the US: Efforts by Congress, by the IMF, and by big secured creditors who press for Laws to give a handful of creditors the whip hand seem short-sighted to me. Whether a policymaker is sympathetic to debtors or creditors, a Bankruptcy system that encourages beneficial risk-taking, that keeps corporations searching out new business opportunities, that encourages entrepreneurs to form small businesses, and that gives consumers a reason to go to work every morning is better for everyone--debtors, creditors and all the rest of us. I'm a little puzzled by her reference here to the IMF. "For years," she says, "lenders and the IMF have told developing countries that if they really want economic growth they need to adopt strong creditor-protection Laws." Is this true? If it is, it's deplorable. What developing countries really need is not strong creditor-protection Laws or a more debtor-friendly Bankruptcy system so much as a level playing field and predictability. T ...

FDIC warns four US banks over liquidity By Sarah Mishkin in New York Published: August 1 2008 23:42 The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation revealed on Friday that it had issued warnings to four small US banks that lacked sufficient reserves to cover potential loan losses. The cease-and-desist orders issued in June said the four banks needed to raise more capital, expand their loss allowances and better oversee and diversify their loan portfolios. A fifth bank was cited for violating consumer protection Laws. Losses on mortages and other loans have helped bring down eight US banks this year, including one small Florida institution on Friday. Last month, Indymac, a California lender with $32bn in assets, became one of the largest banks to go under in US history. It filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy protection on Friday. The banks receiving cease-and-desist orders in June were MetroPacific Bank in Irvine, California; Bank Haven in Haven, Kansas; Clarkston State Bank in Clarkston, Michigan; and Hastings State Bank in Hastings, Nebraska. Non-performing loans in Clarkston State’s portfolio nearly doubled to 4.6 per cent between the close of 2007 and the end of the first quarter of 2008, according to first-quarter earnings report released in April. Clarkston State’s chief executive, J. Grant Smith, said in a statement accompanying first quarter earnings that ”business conditions remain weak and commercial loan demand is anemic.” The FDIC ...

A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about avoiding mortgage foreclosure . I know that topic resonated with a lot of folks. In addition to other worries, homeowners must now be more guarded than ever against foreclosure rescue scams . The fear of losing their homes can make even the savviest consumers susceptible. The Federal Trade Commission and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency both provide general descriptions of the most common foreclosure rescue scams: Lease-back or repurchase scams happen when someone offers to pay your mortgage and rent your home back to you. This scheme often involves signing over your deed to a con artist. Refinance Fraud occurs when people pose as mortgage brokers and offer to refinance your loan so you can afford the payments. Con artists may trick you into signing over the ownership of your home by saying that you are signing documents for a new loan. Bankruptcy Schemes attempt to abuse the Bankruptcy Laws. The con artist may even file a Bankruptcy case in your name, without your knowledge. Here are some general tips to help you avoid these scams: Read and understand everything you sign. Don’t sign blank or partially completed documents. Make payments directly to your lender or mortgage provider. Contact your lender directly to discuss payments and options. Never sign over the deed to your house without consulting a lawyer. Report suspicious activity to the FTC or your state consumer protection offi ...
