Financial Theory (ECON 251) This lecture gives a brief history of the young field of financial theory, which began in business schools quite separate from economics, and of my growing interest in the field and in Wall Street. A cornerstone of standard financial theory is the efficient markets hypothesis, but that has been discredited by the financial crisis of 2007-09. This lecture describes the kinds of questions standard financial theory nevertheless answers well. It also introduces the leverage cycle as a critique of standard financial theory and as an explanation of the crisis. The lecture ends with a class experiment illustrating a situation in which the efficient markets hypothesis works surprisingly well. 00:00 - Chapter 1. Course Introduction 10:16 - Chapter 2.

Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com Welcome to Capital Account. Bernanke speaks and everyone seems to listen. In a speech today, he warned about the job market and said continued accommodative easy-money policies will be needed to make further progress. This has the financial press reading the tea leaves and saying more QE. Is it really because, as our guest says -- TBTF really means "trust Bernanke to fund?" She's Janet Tavakoli, author of "The New Robber Barons: How Bankers created an International Oligarchy," and she's here to talk about the too big to fail banks, the financial oligarchy, and how MF Global fits into this web of derivative inspired meth lab of shadow liquidity and off-balance sheet risk. And since we are on the issue of MF Global, what's the latest on its former CEO, Jon Corzine? Did he or didn't he knowingly transfer close to 200 million dollars in customer money from MF Global to JP Morgan on one occasion before the firm imploded? Internal emails that have come out reportedly point different ways. Regardless, has he gotten away with other types of fraud already? And do credit derivatives, like those used to bet the firm on Europe's debt crisis, continue to pose a major risk to markets? And does regulation do anything to stop this? To top this off, a recent report by the OECD predicts that by 2020, 75% of the US population will be obese. We'll ask if this is deflationary for the global economy and a drag on economic growth.

It's been a tough night in Brussels where Eurozone ministers have reached a deal on a second bailout for Greece. It took them several hours to agree on the one-hundred-and-thirty-billion euro cash injection, expected to save the country from default. Earlier the Greek Parliament went through a storm of public outrage and several internal conflicts to approve the austerity measures demanded by international creditors.

peoplestandup.ca by Terrence MdKenna's voice that this is from "DocZone," a CBC.ca The credit crunch The global financial crisis (GFC) or global economic crisis is commonly believed to have begun in July 2007 with the credit crunch, when a loss of confidence by US investors in the value of sub-prime mortgages caused a liquidity crisis. This, in turn, resulted in the US Federal Bank injecting a large amount of capital into financial markets. By September 2008, the crisis had worsened as stock markets around the globe crashed and became highly volatile. Consumer confidence hit rock bottom as everyone tightened their belts in fear of what could lie ahead. The sub-prime crisis and housing bubble The housing market in the United States suffered greatly as many home owners who had taken out sub-prime loans found they were unable to meet their mortgage repayments. As the value of homes plummeted, the borrowers found themselves with negative equity. With a large number of borrowers defaulting on loans, banks were faced with a situation where the repossessed house and land was worth less on today's market than the bank had loaned out originally. The banks had a liquidity crisis on their hands, and giving and obtaining loans became increasingly difficult as the fallout from the sub-prime lending bubble burst. This is commonly referred to as the credit crunch. Although the housing collapse in the United States is commonly referred to as the trigger for the global financial <b>...</b>

Powerful banks such as Wall St. banks, Germany's Deutsche Bank and the Bank of England are committing acts of 'financial terrorism' which have caused the Euro crisis, an analyst tells Press TV.
Archived from the live Mises.tv broadcast, this lecture was presented by Robert P. Murphy at the Mises Circle in Houston on 14 January 2012.
The 2008 financial crisis "proved that financial markets are not self-regulating," says political scientist Francis Fukuyama in a recent interview with the website TheBrowser: "[Peter Wallison] lays it all at the door of Fannie and Freddie and government intervention. It seems to me transparently designed to exonerate free markets...I like free markets...[but] that particular conclusion I just find astonishing." Fukuyama isn't alone in depicting Wallison as an uncomprimising ideologue who thinks government deserves all the blame. New York Times columnist Joe Nocera called Wallison's work "loony" and accused him of helping to concoct "what has since become a Republican meme." Even pro-free market economist Russ Roberts took Wallison to task for downplaying the role of investment banks in causing the crisis. So who is Peter Wallison? He's a scholar at The American Enterprise Institute and was a leading member of the 10-person Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, a government-created body charged with looking into the causes of the 2008 meltdown. After a year of hearings and deliberation, the commission produced its official report which laid most of the blame on deregulation and private sector avarice. Wallison publicly broke with the commission over the report. "Instead of pursuing a thorough study," says Wallison, "the commission's majority used its extensive statutory investigative authority to seek only the facts that supported its initial assumptions - that the crisis <b>...</b>
As the eurozone crisis continues, could the options on the table include a German takeover? A leaked document from Germany's foreign ministry reportedly reveals the country may be preparing for a new European fund that will be able to take over the economies of struggling eurozone countries. Meanwhile, we know regulators have been trying to figure out what happened to the $600 million dollars missing from customers of MF global. And they now suspect at least some of that cash may not be missing, it may be gone. Regulators suspect it may have been used to cover trading losses at the firm that has, of course, now declared bankruptcy. The question remains as to whether more customers will react like Gerald Celente who we talked to this week and created a new interpretation of what MF really stands for. And from working on Wall Street to Occupying Wall Street, we'll talk to Max Keiser on his evolution from broker to leader of the so-called global insurrection against banker occupation.

reit.com Progress has been "slow and painful" when it comes to the global convergence of financial reporting standards, according to Tom Wilkin, partner with PwC. Wilkin sat down with REIT.com at REITWise 2012 NAREIT's Law, Accounting & Finance Conference in Hollywood, Fla., last month to talk about the global convergence process and how it affects REITs. He said convergence is no closer to becoming a reality now than it was five years ago. "A lot of the major projects that were the key convergence issues that were supposed to be completed seven years ago have all taken substantially longer to complete than originally expected," Wilkin said. "Some are nearing completion, but some still have a long road to go still in terms of getting them completed." Uncertainty has been one of the biggest obstacles remaining to completing global convergence. "It's a lot of discussion still about is it a 'when' or is it an 'if' we are going to converge ultimately in the US," he said. "Are we going to switch over in entirety, or are we in essence going to converge and get closer and closer until the differences aren't that significant?" Within the last few months there have been changes that affect the direction that the convergence process will take, according to Wilkin. Wilkin said the leasing standard is of the most significance for US REITs from both a business perspective and financial reporting. Additionally, he said the investment property entity standard would have a huge <b>...</b>
euronews.com In this edition of U-talk, Michael, from Brussels, asks: "With the tax on financial transactions, what will guarantee that some financial activities will not move outside the EU?" The reponse from Marc Touati, an economist with Assya Compagnie Financière: "I think we must be clear that, if France is the only country to apply the financial transaction tax, Paris as a market, as we know it, will be finished. "That's to say that, very clearly, we already have extremely strong fiscal pressure, very strong regulatory pressure on the Paris financial market, so, at this moment, more and more financial activities will leave France. "Even if this tax is marginal, it would create what I'd call a psychological effect on investments - and we are seeing that already today. "Even without this tax - a lot of French banks have started moving their market activities elsewhere, exactly because there was too much fiscal pressure, too much regulatory pressure. At the same time, as we have, I'd say, extremely weak growth, our companies don't necessarily resort to the markets. "So, what's the danger in this? It's that, of course, more and more activities will relocate outside France, or outside the eurozone, and, when that happens, we're going to have a problem financing the economy. "Because we often forget what finances the economy. Of course it's the banks. But who finances the banks? It's often the markets. Therefore, if we effectively reduce the financial markets to the <b>...</b>
esf.org The Science of Innovation is an important, growing field of research and this conference aimed at presenting state-of-the-art, thought-provoking insights from the cutting edge of 'the science of innovation' on crucial issues for today's policy makers. As innovation has become a centre-piece of European policy, in-depth understanding of its dynamics and impact has become mandatory. The symposium, held at the European Parliament and co-hosted by the Science and Technology Options Assessment (STOA) panel and the European Science Foundation (ESF), sought to provoke debate over core assumptions in innovation policy.
The European monetary crisis shows no signs of abating with talk of Greece leaving the Eurozone - once a taboo subject - now being discussed openly.

2012 is going to be quite a year with falling economies in the UK, Europe, the US, China, Japan and the remainder of Asia. Latin America, and Mexico by comparison should fare fairly well overall. England is in a death spiral. Europe is next, the US is not far behind and China and Japan will soon join the disjoined group. We are about to witness the end of the period that developed since the end of WWII. That is economically, financially, socially and politically. The transition into the future is going to be borne out of chaos. If you have any doubt just look at the recent legislation passed in the US allowing the president to pick up and incarcerate, torture or murder dissidents. Americans will be labeled terrorists for any reason government decides. This is corporatist fascist dictatorial government. We have as well reports from Marion Monte, a top Illuminist, who was appointed Italy's PM that he wants business to stop making large transactions in cash. Cash will be limited to $1300 per transaction down from $3250. That should bring the economy to a halt, create a thriving black market and drive buyers into US dollars and gold and silver coins. They obviously want to bring the Italian economy to its knees. As a result Italian consumer confidence in December fell to its lowest level in 16 years.

DemocracyNow.org - Democracy Now! broadcasts on the road from Kansas City, Missouri, today. Amy Goodman interviews William Black, a white-collar criminologist, former financial regulator, and author of "The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One." Black teaches economics and law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and recently took part in Occupy Kansas City. "If you look [at the Occupy protests] not just nationwide, but worldwide, you will see some pretty consistent themes developing," Black says. "That includes, we have to deal with the systemically dangerous institutions, the 20 biggest banks that the administration says are ticking time bombs. As soon as one of them fails, we go back into a global crisis. We should fix that, there's no reason have institutions that large. Accountability is also a theme, that we should put these felons in prison ... And that we should get jobs now and that we should deal with foreclosure crisis. ... Those are four common themes you can see in these protests... I think over time you'll not necessarily have some grand written agenda, but you will have increasing consensus, a broad consensus."

Should government pay off our debts? Economist Steve Keen says we are already in another Great Depression. He advocates bankrupting the banks, nationalising the financial system and paying off people's debt Economist Steve Keen is one of the few economists to have predicted the global financial crisis and now he says we are already in a Great Depression. He says the way to escape it is to bankrupt the banks, nationalise the financial system and pay off people's debt. He admits what he is advocating is radical but says it is time governments gave money to debtors to pay down debt instead of to creditors such as banks who have held onto it.

JPMorgan Chase, the nation's largest bank, is under fire after losing at least $2 billion in derivatives trading it was warned carried high risk. The loss has renewed calls for tougher regulation of Wall Street, with critics saying JPMorgan could have avoided it under regulations the bank opposed. We're joined by former financial regulator, white collar criminologist, and University of Missouri-Kansas City Professor William Black, author of "The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One." Black says JPMorgan's latest woes stem from the flaws endemic to "too big too fail." "Allowing [banks] to be this big, even conservative economists call this 'crony capitalism,'" Black says. "The only way this can work is to shrink the systemically dangerous institutions -- the 20 largest banks in the United States -- down to the point that they no longer pose a systemic risk. [When] they are no longer too big to fail, they will no longer have this implicit federal subsidy that completely distorts competition [and] ... destroys democracy because these giant institutions have so much political power."

Max Keiser : This is a war. This is World War III. This is the new war using financial derivatives. And the objective is to preserve the speculative rates given to the Wall Street bankers of zero percent. You know, Ben Bernanke this week came out and said "we're gonna be keeping this rate of zero percent for over two years or indefinetly". That doesn't help workers, that doesn't help savers, that doesn't help society, that only helps speculators, that only helps the plunderers. And if you look at those riots in London, all those plunderers on the streets would be doing was mimicking the plundering at Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. I'm surprised Goldman Sachs is not down on the street trying to recruit these kids to work at Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan ! They are excellent plunderers, why don't they work on Wall Street ? They've proven themselves ! Let's give them the job ! Bernanke's job is to be down in the mouth and say that he must keep interest rates low. That's its job ! And to determine where interest rates should be, he looks at a series of statistics that do not include energy or food ! So he does not see inflation ! He only looks at things that are falling in price. And therefore he concludes that there's deflation and that the interest rates must be near zero. And in Switzerland now interest rates have gone negative. They're charging people to keep money at the bank, also the United States are utilizing negative interest rates. That's to be... my prediction would <b>...</b>
The 'standard financial statement' or SFS is a document that you fill in when you are engaging with a lender on mortgage arrears. This was part of a formalized process that came about as a result of the updated Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears, specifically the Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process or MARP. People are quite often confused about how this works or how to fill them in. The standardization is good because it means that (unlike the past when they were all different) one form is the same as the next, this reduces confusion and replication. Lenders look closely at specific parts of the form, and common mistakes (as mentioned in the video) are things such as entering the last electricity bill on your outgoings which tries to establish monthly costs (when the bill is a bimonthly one). We hope you find this of use. Several sites worth checking out (we'll list our own last!) are keepingyourhome.ie http mortgagebrokers.ie http advisors.ie
