Full Money Market

Posts Tagged ‘of’

You don’t have to be the expert investor, financial or banking professional to understand relationship between the market of stocks, stocks and bonds values and their impact on inflation and hyperinflation. Since my former country had centralized not a free market economy, we used to look at several major global stock exchange reports. It did not tell us lot at first, but with little education it was easy to understand what’s happening when prices of stocks, bonds or commodities go up or down. With minor changes majority of people may not even know that anything is going on at all. When big changes take place, for many is too late, prices are to high, currency supply inflated and purchasing power in decline or lost. While income may be present , it may be insufficient to buy food and necessities.

This week’s money market question comes from Becky.

“My company isn’t contributing to my 401K anymore,” she said. “Should I just move the money to an IRA? What are the pros and cons?”

Becky, first things, first. You have to ask your company if you are allowed to rollover 401K money into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA). There are some companies that won’t permit the transfer, if you still work there.

Now if you get approval, it is a good idea to take action.

You’ll be able to make your own decisions about your money with a self-directed IRA.

You can choose your investment company and the types of investments you’d like to participate in, such as a mutual fund or an account that has a variety of stocks, bonds and other investments.

You can also choose whether to get a full service account which will help you with guidance, or you can do your own research and cut costs which affect your bottom line.

Other investment options could include a fixed annuity, which is safer and will give you a modest return. Or how about a CD? A Certificate of Deposit is issued by a bank.

The Debt Management Office (DMO) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, on Saturday, October 17 2009, launched the FGN Bond at the Royal Garden Hotel, London with the theme Good Investor, Good Citizen.

The goal was to encourage private Nigerian Citizens, and Corporate entities (the Nigerian Diaspora in the UK), to invest in FGN Bond as a way for the government to build needed capital to finance critical long-term infrastructure projects in Nigeria. This effort is in line with the goals of Private Finance Initiative (PFI), and the objectives of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) contained in the 7-Point Agenda.

The launch of FGN Bond in London resulted from the many compelling and persuasive proposals written and successfully presented to Nigerias public and private sector leaders by UK-based Business Services Consortium Ltd; (Chidi Okemadu MD), who is a Public Policy Consultant/Advocate, and a Former Vice President with the defunct Citisolutions Financial UK Ltd, a division of Citigroup.

Bond is a long-term debt instrument offered to the potential investor by public sector entities with promise of a return at specified percentages of yields upon maturity. Such financial or monetary instruments are similar in nature to stock certificates issued by the private sector, except that it is guaranteed against default by the full faith and credit of the government. Bonds are therefore safer and more conservative forms of investment than stocks.

There are many precedents or anecdotes that can be cited in both developing and developed countries to support the notion that bonds are very viable tools for financing capital projects which would otherwise be difficult to finance or execute only from internally-generated revenue. China, the worlds largest surplus nation has been buying US Treasury Bonds at record levels, some of which would finance infrastructure projects contained in the economic stimulus bill signed into law by President Barak Obama. According to the US Treasury, US owe China a cumulative $797.1 billion in bond-related debts as at the end of August 2009 (http://www.treas.gov/tic/mfh.txt).

The FGN Bond launch event and the pre-dinner cocktail party that preceded it drew a large crowd of dignitaries and citizens – a diverse audience many of who came with a great deal of enthusiasm and optimism on the one hand, and suspicion and skepticism on the other. The event was very well choreographed, and ably directed by the Master of Ceremony, Dayo Benjamins-Laniyi. Overall, Nigerians are historically skeptical of government promises, but are quick to support and credit governments who execute visibly tangible projects that directly impact their everyday lives.

Those that knew little about bonds before they came to the event were well educated by the distinguished panel of speakers which included Nigerias Hon. Minister of Finance, Dr. Mansur Muhtar. OFR; the High Commissioner of Nigeria to the United Kingdom, Dr. Dalhatu Sarki Tafida, OFR; and the new dynamic Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, and renowned Economist Lamido Sanusi.

The speakers also included Director-General of the Debt Management Office , Dr. Abraham Nwankwo; The Chairman, House Committee on Aids, Loans and Debt Management , Hon. Abdul-aziz Yari Abubakar; Chairman, Senate Committee on Local and Foreign Debts Senator (Arc) Ehigie Uzamere; and the Director-General of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Mrs. Ndi Okeke-Onyiuke. Other Nigerian Public Servants and dignitaries from the private sector who graced the occasion include former military brass, and serving Senator, John Shagaya, as well as other distinguished Senators, Congressmen, and Business Leaders.

The Finance Minister carefully articulated the efforts, constraints, and vision of the Federal Government of Nigeria, while the Central Bank Governor spoke eloquently on the global financial crisis with emphasis on the recent shake up in the Nigerian commercial banks.

Not by a long shot were all the burning questions on the minds of the audience answered due understandably to time limitations, but many were more confident of the Nigerian leadership, and receptive of the proposed FGN Bond at the end of the event than they were at the beginning. The effort to get the support of Nigerians in the Diaspora for the FGN Bond remains work in progress, and may in the near future be made on the ground in North American cities which are also homes to hundreds of thousands of the Nigerian Diaspora.

This Event Overview/Analysis has been presented by Texas-based Nwora Onwuzulu, (Management Consultant and Freelance Writer), B.Sc., M.A. (LIS), MIEEE, AIIM, MPMI (Phone: +1 713-992-2886)

GATA today brought suit against the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, seeking a court order for disclosure of the central bank’s records of its surreptitious market intervention to suppress the monetary metal’s price.

The suit was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and targets Fed records involving gold swaps, exchanges of gold with foreign financial institutions. In a letter dated September 17 this year to GATA’s law firm, William J. Olson P.C. of Vienna, Virginia, (http://www.lawandfreedom.com) Fed Board of Governors member Kevin M. Warsh acknowledged that the Fed has gold swap agreements with foreign banks but insisted that such documents remain secret:

The lawsuit follows two years of GATA’s efforts to obtain from the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury Department a candid accounting of the U.S. government’s involvement in the gold market. These efforts parallel those of U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who long has been proposing legislation to audit the Fed. The Fed has wrapped in secrecy much of its massive intervention in the markets over the last year, and Paul’s legislation recently was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives.

The Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee was organized in January 1999 to advocate and undertake litigation against illegal collusion to control the price and supply of gold and related financial securities. The committee arose from essays by Bill Murphy, a financial commentator, and by Chris Powell, a newspaper editor in Connecticut, published at Murphy’s Internet site, lemetropolecafe.com. In this GATA roundtable interview we will have Chris Powell, Bill Murphy and Adrian Douglas.
