Planning

Monday, August 15th, 2011


The outcome of the family is expected, but it may have helped them face some difficult facts. “Denial is common and a lot of people don’t want to examine their situation,” as explained. “So they don’t look at it. They then spend a lot of years staying in a really bad relationship. The couple didn’t do that. They split up and got on with their lives.”

The couple declined to speak to us for this article, but when we checked in with the woman a year ago, she felt that the makeover had helped open her eyes to problems that had been there all along. “I feel that I actually have more money now as a single mom because I’m in control,” she said. “I’m not paying my husband’s debts anymore. And once the divorce is complete, I’ll be in a better position to put the rest of the adviser’s money tips from the makeover into action. It’s all going to work out fine for me.”

If you’re hoping to succeed with your own financial plan, you should be aware that you won’t always be in control. You’ll eventually run into events that you could have never seen coming. They could be detrimental, such as divorce or an illness, or they could be helpful, such as an inheritance or a healthy new relationship. Either way, you’ve got to take life as it comes, re-evaluate your priorities when you hit an unexpected detour and set new goals. The key is to always feel like you’re heading in the right direction.

Money, Banking and Monetary Policy

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011


The banking business were different, so that you actually had to present it to the bank on which it was drawn, you would be so inconvenienced that you could be unwilling to accept cheques for most transactions. Fortunately, banks do accept one another’s  cheques. But the problem of presenting the cheques for payment remains. If a depositor in Bank A writes a cheque to someone who deposits it in Bank B, Bank A now owes money to Bank B.

There are, of course, millions of such transactions during the course of a day, resulting in an enormous sorting and bookkeeping job. Multibank systems make use of a clearing house where interbank debts are settled. At the end of the day, all of the cheques drawn by Bank B’s customers and deposited in Bank A. It is necessary only to settle the difference between these two sums. The actual cheques are passed through the clearing house back to the bank on which they are drawn. The bank is then able to adjust each individual’s account by a set of book entries; a flow of cash between banks is necessary only if there is a net transfer of cash from the customers of one bank to those of another. This flow of cash is accomplished by a transfer between banks of deposits in the Bank of Canada.

Significance of Changes in the Price Level

Saturday, October 31st, 2009


Major price level movements, such as Canada has experienced, generally have profoundly disturbing repercussions. They may significantly affect the level at which the economy operates, and are likely to bring about pronounced shifts in the real wealth and income of different members of the community.

Deflation

The marked deflation of 1920 and the early 1930′s were accompanied by sharp reductions in the levels of profits, employment, and production. Businessmen who had acquired large inventories, at high prices, lost heavily when prices fell. Falling prices generated pessimism in regard to the future and a general hesitation to produce goods for future sale, or to undertake investments which would yield their benefit in the future. A great many workers lost their jobs and production declined heavily. Debtors became heavily oppressed as falling prices increased the real value of their debts and of their interest obligations. In many cases the falling prices, at the same time, sharply reduced debtors incomes. Thus farmers of Western Canada who had borrowed large sums to purchase more land and equipment, were reduced to desperate straits when the prices of farm products fell heavily. With incomes sharply reduced, the obligation to pay a fixed amount of interest each year proved to be a crushing burden. they suffered in this way in the early 1920′s and again in the 1930′s.

Not all people were adversely affected by deflation, however. People who had savings in the form of cash or fixed value securities such as bonds, found that the real value of their savings had increased. With prices lower, each dollar of their savings could buy more than before. People whose incomes were fixed in terms of money similarly benefited from the deflation. Pensioners receiving fixed pensions, bondholders who received fixed amounts of money as interest, employees who continued to receive their usual salaries, all found that the deflation had increased their real incomes. Not all bondholders and salaried employees were so lucky, however. Many bondholders were unable during deflationary periods to collect the money due them, and many salaried employees lost their jobs. The seemingly “fixed’ incomes turned out not to be “fixed” after all.

Russian Economist Predicted Current Finance Crisis

Friday, March 13th, 2009


Victor Maslov, a well-known Russian mathematician, predicted the beginning of the financial crisis using his calculations one year ago. He also managed to prepare for the hard times.
Maslov, the winner of many prestigious awards in mathematics, has solved a number of complicated state problems, including Chernobyl sarcophagus. He also managed to predict the Russian default in 1998 and the demise of the Soviet Union.

“I managed to show that those phenomena which happen today in world economy have much in common with some processes in physics. In other words, we speak here about so-called phase transitions when the situation worsens not smoothly, but suddenly”, Maslov says.

According to Maslov, the financial crisis the world is witnessing now is a typical example of the situation when it was possible to predict it using the laws of physics.

“Such processes well-known in physics and formulas perfectly describe them. These formulas can be also applied in economy. For example, it is possible to predict not only the crisis but also its date,” the mathematician says.

“The present financial crisis was not actually a surprise. Last summer I sold my dacha and my apartment and sent all the money to my children abroad,” says Maslov.

“My calculations showed that the USA already went through a certain threshold behind which crisis usually begin. I knew that my children would find themselves in a difficult situation so I gave them some advice how to use the money best”, Maslov says.

The mathematician explained that he managed to calculate critical number for the US debts as they stepped over the definite line long time ago. The mathematician also assured that it is possible to calculate critical number for Russia.
