Implications of a 1.5% rate cut
Monday, March 15th, 2010SBA Loans Tied to LIBOR
Monday, March 15th, 2010
SBA is issuing an interim final rule to make adjustments on an emergency basis to certain of its regulations in order to make the secondary market for loans guaranteed under Section 7(a) of the Small Business Act (7(a) loans) more efficient with regard to loan pricing and the formation of secondary market loan pools.
Specifically, the interim final rule will permanently add an additional base rate of LIBOR for lenders to use when pricing 7(a) loans, and will allow for secondary market loan pools to be formed with weighted average coupon rates. This interim final rule is necessary to help ensure continued availability of capital to small businesses and to improve liquidity in and efficiency of the secondary market.

Life Insurance Premium Finance
Saturday, March 6th, 2010
Hi, Im David Mickelson at Mickelson Capital Consulting. Todays topic is going to some new options and opportunities in the world of life insurance premium finance. Life insurance premium finance has basically moved to the forefront in recent months. And, basically the reason is, many people like insurance as long as they dont have to pay for it. Nowadays, dozens of small to medium sized banks and credit unions have entered the space becoming life insurance premium finance lenders. And the reason is theyve recently discovered that its excellent high quality, completely secure debt that they can have on their books, and it seems in this credit environment its a very popular thing for banks to do. So all over the United States many banks that would have not thought about being in this business have entered the business, which has opened up the doors for opportunity for insureds and banks alike. It is so attractive nowadays because it is 100% secure that borrowers are often buying as big a policy as they qualify for because there is actually very little out of pocket, and the amount of collateral that they have to contribute is very modest compared to the size of the transaction. These are very efficient type transactions because it resolves issues for families. Number one, theres no large cash payments involved from the families. At most its interest payments. They dont have to disturb the investments they have in place. Number three, and probably one of the more important things, is many families are faced with difficult gift issues when they buy large amounts of insurance. Having this kind of premium finance pretty well eliminates almost all gift tax issues in families. Thats in a nutshell whats going on in the life insurance premium finance world. Oftentimes the policies that theyre using are either what we call equity index life insurance policies, and occasionally they are universal life. Sometimes the loans are based on LIBOR, and there are many new programs that base it on a variety of indexes that could be prime rate, LIBOR, or even international currency rates that are very attractive in this market. With that, Im David Mickelson wishing you a good day with Mickelson Capital Consulting. Bye for now.

MBACalculator.com Solving for the swap price
FRA is a forward contract and specifies an interest rate to be paid on an obligation beginning on some future date. Any gain or loss on the contract is treated as a similar gain or loss on futures or options contracts of would. Please refer to the FRA spreadsheet for information on a forward rate calculations.
The forward rates are also known as the implied forward rates, are calculated using a process known as bootstrapping. The concept of bootstrapping this simple, an investor can invest in a six-month LIBOR and earned 4.25 percent. Alternatively the investor if can also invest in the spot market 4.10 percent for 3 months and then reinvest the money for additional three months. With both of these choices the lesser choice would have to rise to provide a comparable return to the preferred investment. If the market expects both investments to be equal with the return than we can solve to be implied forward rate.
We need to calculate the discount factor for the present value of the floating rate and the present value of the fixed rate in order to calculate the swap price. The swap price is also known as the equilibrium fixed rate price. To calculate the discount factor we use the percentages that are highlighted in yellow not the forward rates highlighted in green.

Earn 1% a month, that’s off the hizzo
You were all my bizzos

You thought I had vol on lockdown?
Welcome, to Ponzi-town
Pigs get slaughtered, clown

You caught the vapors

Every day open the Journal
And read about my little caper
Dynastic wealth’s now eating Chuck E. Cheese
Hamptons summer? Truffles? Please.
Only if it’s you driving the Jitney
Ya might wanna trim down that check to the Whitney

Dropping bows on portfolios
If ya gotta one dollar bill throw your hands up
Fuck it, you can throw ‘em up anyway
It’s on me

*I Do Not Claim Copyright Of The Song Or Any Audio*
The clips are all mine and so is the editing
don’t steal!
Song – David Bedingfield – I gotta get thru this
(:
Im SOOO sorry guys that I haven’t uploaded anything in like.. 3 months
but I just got Sony Vegas 06 & well in this vid I have just been messing around with it.
After about 4 days of using it it started messing up. it wouldent save it wouldent open etc etc…
So i just gave up and left it for a month or so.. then today i opened it up again messed around with it and..
GUESS WHAAAT? 
it saved 
So its up now
Okay so.. Thanks You To My 10 Subs :]
(L) So I during the summer I rode Libor (: it was great
as you can see from the clips
But then the guy who owns the place where Libor is being ‘boarded’ decided to start using Libor for lessons.. the poor horse has to put up with a little girl holding the reins in one hand while swatting him with the crop and jumping up and down on his back -.-
So now i don’t really like riding Libor because I know that if i do ride him then im taking away his only rest day.. and making him go out with me for a trail ride.. which would be fun for him.. but hes so used to it…that its just more work in his mind
And I know this because i took him out for a ride and i could feel the exhaustion on him…eg. he usually gets hyper after a canter.. but i could barley get him to trot after cantering for about 2m … :S
So idk what to do now…
i still can’t find a stable.. where i can go riding.
But dad said we would have a ‘talk’ when spring comes..
So wish me luck for that
