- A Roadmap Out Of Asset-backed Commercial Paper
By: Maximilian Sparrowson | - So, in August of 2007, it became painfully clear that the U.S. subprime mortgage sector was nearing a complete collapse, being tied to the underhanded U.S. housing loans, to say the least.

- Can The Fed Turn This Mess Around?
By: Maximilian Sparrowson | - The reporting of a weak U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) for the fourth quarter of 2007 on Thursday was not a surprise to me. Coming in at a dismal 0.6% rate, the fourth quarter reading was unchanged from the third quarter, but there is now added economic risk. Should the GDP reading in the first quarter of 2008 decline or be negative, then a weaker or negative GDP in the second quarter could point to a technical economic recession. Of course, things are already slow.

- Lets Me Expand Your Knowledge On The Stock Markets
By: Mary Maseko | - With stock markets the Direct Stock Plan operates differently than buying stock through a broker. There is no commission charged for these stock plans, but there can be a small fee. The other difference is that the company buys and sells the stock at a given time. The investor cannot sell or trade stocks at will. The investor may turn the stocks over to a broker to sell, but the broker cannot charge a commission. You may be charged a fee by the company. It depends on your agreement.
