Time to Reshuffle

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:09:44 -0500

Is it time to juggle your portfolio? Perhaps. The year end isless than two months away. I have elaborated on the importanceof fall season as the best time to rearrange your portfolio.Mainly, stock that rises during the year will continue to riseheading into year end. On the other hand, stock thatunderperformed, will continue to be sold heading into year end.Now, the year end is almost here. While there are no guaranteethat you can buy at the best possible price, it is as close asyou can get. Stock does not turn exactly on the last day of theyear. Even when it does, investors will anticipate its movementand make any arbitration move useless. But, the November-December period is close enough for small investors to get thebest possible price.Having said that, I don't advocate buying any stocks that fallsharply during the year and selling any stocks that have risen alot. Fundamental still drives stock price movement in the longrun. Therefore, what you need to do first is to...

The mortgage industry has faced up to some pretty demandingchallenges over the last few years and only now does it appearto be settling down to something like normality.So as the market moves onwards and upwards,I think there is alot the lending industry can gain by taking a look at marketingtechniques which have been adopted by other industries.Take another financial market, credit cards, as an example.

Managing bank liquidity in real time

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 14:09:44 -0500

Just a decade ago the concept of bank liquidity was for allintents and purposes only one for the Bank Regulator to reallyconcern himself with. A bank had to remain liquid -critical ifit were to enjoy the confidence of its depositors - but thiscriticality was an "after the event" issue.Then banks enjoyed a high degree of anonymity and choice in howit managed its liquidity. This was as a result of the techniquesthen used for settling interbank obligations. These techniqueshad been devised and refined over two or more centuries. Theyhad come from a pre-computer world that relied on manualtransaction processing of instruments such as cheques. Earlymoves at computerization of bank processes simply mechanized themanual approach by using the batch processing system. So thecritical factor that related to the measuring of a bank'sliquidity could only be determined after the end of the tradingday had been completed and all the "ins" and the "outs" werematched up. Even then, a ban...

This might soundobtuse, but many important decisions can be made easier bythinking simply, and a bit differently. Before we do, a note about value, and 'utility'. Business isabout creating value. Our personal lives according toeconomists are about maximizing our utility, where utility issimply a measure of the happiness or satisfaction gained from agood or service.Think of it this way, and business is considered first.

How to Avoid Creating Orphaned OST Files

Fri, 21 May 2010 17:55:59 -0500

The advantage of working with Outlook offline folder files OST files is that one can work on the same data as that stored in the mailbox on the Exchange server without any interruptions. However, users often forget that OST files are merely replicas of the server-based folders - in fact, they are often referred to as the slave replicas of the folders located on the Microsoft Exchange server with the mailbox on the server being the master. It is very important to bear in mind that if the master or the main mailbox stored on the server is deleted, then the OST files that are linked to that particular mailbox will be orphaned. This means data in the OST files becomes inaccessible and there is no easy way of carrying out an ost recovery .There are situations in which the main mailbox located on a Microsoft Exchange server gets deleted. Sometimes, it is by accident and sometimes, the administrator deletes ...
