Shaw Capital Management: Moody’s warns UK credit status at risk if growth stalls

http://shawcapitalmanagementfinancialnews.com/2012/01/20/shaw-capital-management-moodys-warns-uk-credit-status-at-risk-if-growth-stalls/ 


A leading status agency has informed the collapse in economic growth, an escalation in the euro zone debt crisis, or perhaps a wobble by George Osborne over his austerity ideas would cost the UK its prized AAA credit status. Moody’s, which recently cut Belgium by two notches and is monitoring France, reaffirmed the UK’s sovereign status but said the country’s large budget deficit, slow growth and euro area visibility have reduced its “ability to absorb further shocks without rating implications”. On the Shaw Capital Management, Demonstrating how prone the UK to a downgrade, Moody’s based its prognosis on growth in 2012 of 0.7pc – in line with the official forecast, but more upbeat than both the Organization for Economic Co-operation & Development’s conjecture of 0.5pc and the shrinkage expected by a swelling group of City forecasters. Deutsche Bank on Tuesday put into the sense of doom by reducing its outlook for growth next year to “zero” and warning of a “modest technical recession”. Preserving Britain’s gold-plated rating has been central to Mr. Osborne’s technique. The Chancellor has staked his reputation on it, claiming that market credibility has helped keep borrowing costs down for the Government, businesses and households.
Moody’s heightened the Chancellor’s hand. “The currently stable outlook on the UK status depends in part on the assumption that the Government will always be on course with its fiscal consolidation programme,” it said. In part of the Shaw Capital ManagementSarah Carlson, a senior analyst, added that the decision was partly based on the UK’s “very strong record of reversing increases in debt”.”If that record was not maintained, it will have an insinuation for the outlook, if not the rating itself,” she said. However, the Government now appears cornered. Moody’s informed that weak growth “will likely slow the pace of fiscal consolidation” and that the legacy of debt left by Labour “has eroded and being able to absorb the further macroeconomic or fiscal shocks”.”Risks emanating from the euro area” are further complicating matters. However, the “competitive” economy, strong institutions such as the Bank of England, and capacity to control monetary policy all set the UK apart from the Continent. From the Shaw Capital Management, A Treasury spokesman said: “As Moody’s points out, the UK is not resistant to the down sides facing our trading partners in the euro area… it is important that the euro area continues to take decisive action to fix their problems.”

Shaw Capital Management World News: First Case of Drop Shipping in Japan

http://world.shawcapitalmanagementfinancialnews.com/2012/03/23/shaw-capital-management-world-news-first-case-of-drop-shipping-in-japan/


Japanese metropolitan police apprehended the previous president of a drop shipping business in Tokyo this week for not declaring the truth about the profitability of their drop shipping system — the first of its kind of case in Japan.

Yoshida Minoru, the former company president of Saito located in the Taito ward was arrested on fraud charges. Others were also under investigation. His company is suspected to have obtained no more than 410 million yen from over 400 people since June 2008.

Drop shipping is a scheme where products are sent directly to contractual individuals by wholesalers. Then, the individual retailer who has entered into a contract with the company that gives out the products will set the item prices and earn revenue on the markup.

Results of investigations show that Yoshida’s firms are telling its clients that their system will enable them to gain back the fees they have paid to join in just 2-3 months, but it was never proven to be true. The company has reportedly taken money from those who register in form of fees for setting up sites that retailers would then use to sell their products.

According to authorities, the firm was created in 2007 and got individual retailers by web ads and pamphlet marketing. The primary fees when using their service ranges from 850,000 up to 3 million yen. The company promised to give products such as food items, video game programs and TV sets that the individual retailers will sell with their own prices.

The company reportedly tells people that their revenue will come from what’s left from the wholesale prices minus the set retail prices. However, there are a number of cases where the products’ prices sold to clients are way above the market price and the firm does not offer marketing to aid in selling the products contrary to what they claim. Most users could not even sell one item.

Other organizations along with the consumer affairs agency have received more than 100 complaints connected to the firm, most of which deals with the firm not responding to clients that would like to terminate contracts. In May 2010, the Metropolitan Police Department searched several company-owned locations due to suspicions of fraud reports.

Shaw Capital Management World Financial News: Stock Rebound Unlikely This Week as Debt-ceiling Debate Heats up
Article by Shawcap Financial
Investors may move money into cash and other assets perceived as safer. Meanwhile, earnings season will continue after a solid first week.
Investors, frustrated by the lack of progress in the debate over raising the debt ceiling, could move into what are perceived as safer assets, such as cash. (Ramin Talaie, Getty Images))U.S. stocks will be hard-pressed to turn the tide of recent selling this week as political jousting over raising the United States’ debt ceiling intensifies.Investors, frustrated by the lack of progress in the debate between the Democrat-controlled White House and Senate and the Republican-majority House of Representatives, could move into what are perceived as safer assets, such as cash.The benchmark Standard & Poor’s 500 index last week recorded its worst weekly loss in five weeks, dropping 2.1%. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 1.4% and the Nasdaq composite index declined 2.5%.While the wrangling over the debt ceiling takes center stage, earnings season will continue to heat up after a solid first week.According to Thomson Reuters data, 39 companies in the benchmark S&P 500 index have posted results, with 74% reporting earnings that topped Wall Street estimates. Companies in the index are forecast to show a 6.5% rise in profits over the second quarter of 2010 when all the reports are in.Economic data on tap for the coming week include several reports on the housing market — June housing starts on Tuesday and existing-home sales on Wednesday. In addition, data is due on leading economic indicators for June. Economic reports over the last month have raised questions about the health of the U.S. recovery.”The bigger picture is the economy is still a disaster,” said Joe Saluzzi, co-manager of trading at Themis Trading in New Jersey.Saluzzi said people still are watching earnings for signs growth may be stagnating. Quarterly results are expected this week from Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America Corp.and American Express. Also on the calendar are earnings news from technology companies Apple Inc., Microsoft Corp.and Intel Corp.”Let’s see what all the rest of these guys have. Let’s see if it’s still being driven by cost cuts or are they actually getting revenue gains. That is going to tell me a lot more than if they cut the debt deal,” Saluzzi said.But the longer the debt ceiling question continues without a conclusion, the bigger the risk for further declines in stocks and for volatility to increase.

Shaw Capital Management: Bank of America Saved by Buffett

http://shawcapitalmanagementfinancialnews.com/2011/10/12/shaw-capital-management-bank-of-america-saved-by-buffett/


Berkshire Hathaway, run by Warren Buffett, announced on Thursday its plans to invest $5 billion in the Bank of America, giving a boost for the embattled financial company.
While the investors formerly cheered resulting in the bidding up of banks stocks earlier today, the sector calmed down in the afternoon as the general market comprehend the deal.
Bank of America’s stocks, which increased over 25% on Thursday, are now at $7.55, up only by 8%. Morgan Stanley and Citigroup, both of which have increased almost 10% in the morning revert to their original prices almost as quick.
The reduction only reflects the continued agitation concerning the industry that is racked by economic problems, legal liabilities and regulatory uncertainty.
Still, the investment of Berkshire has aided in allaying concerns regarding the Bank of America. Stocks of the financial company have suffered as of late because of the fears that it is lacking in enough capital. The share has fallen by almost 30% since early August.
This investment from Berkshire has come in a crucial time for the Bank of America. Its own mortgage department has accumulated billions of dollars in legal expenses and it even faces a national investigation about its practices in foreclosure.
Last week, the bank reported of plans to lay off 3,500 workers. Shaw Capital Managementlearned that Mr. Moynihan addressed the employees in a memo, telling them that the company answers to the stockholders and customers first, hence, they need to be cost-efficient and competitive.
However, it was decided that the company needs no capital increase, insisting that the company is well on financial aspects. Such assertions did very little to placate or gain the confidence of investors.
Following the terms and conditions of the deal, Berkshire will purchase $5 billion worth of preferred stock that pays a 6% annual dividend, and receive warrants for 700 millions stocks that it can use for more than 10 years. Bank of America will have the option to buy back those preferred stocks anytime for a 5% premium.
Buffett is fond of financial companies that he reckons have a strong brand. He already owns Wells Fargo, eventually upped his stake over the past year. In the last quarter, he purchased around 10 million stocks of the lender.
