Financial Institutions Collapsing

Sean Brodrick takes a closer look at how financial institutions are collapsing and the damage has now spread into the prime mortgage market. Mr. Brodrick also discusses how Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's liabilities add up to $5.3 billion dollars.

Financial institutions are collapsing like dominoes: Countrywide Financial and New Century Financial collapsed in 2007, Bear Stearns in early 2008 and just recently IndyMac. Even big regional banks are small enough to fail, which is why National City and Washington Mutual both saw their stocks get 25% cuts on July 14. According to a Bridgewater study, total financial losses from the current credit crisis will hit $1.6-trillion. It's not just the losses on banks' books. A recent Bank of America study said that the meltdown in the U.S. subprime real estate market had led to a global loss of $7.7 trillion dollars in stock market values just since October....

Who Needs Referrals When You Have Friends?

"Hey, how was work today? Did you get any new business?" Doesn't that sound like a caring spouse? A concerned parent? Maybe a good friend? Sure. But be careful how you answer.

If you believe that people who like, care, and respect you will refer business to you, you're in for a potentially costly surprise, warn the authors of a new book called, "Truth or Delusion: Busting Networking's Biggest Myths" (Nelson Business, ISBN 0785223207).

Hey, how was work today? Did you get any new business?

Truth or Delusion: Busting Networking's Biggest Myths

They know you, they trust you, but they may be hesitant to mix business with personal life

Even more likely, they may not understand how to refer you.

Familiarity also has its dangers

as much as your mom loves you, she’s seen you at your worst -- runnynosed, squalling, tattling, lying, throwing tantrums. Perhaps she secretly harbors the fear that if she referred her best friend to you for business, you’d end up embarrassing her.

Anybody can be trained to refer business to you, including friends and family.

"They know you, they trust you, but they may be hesitant to mix business with personal life," explains New York Times best-selling author Dr. Ivan Misner. "Even more likely, they may not understand how to refer you."... (Continue reading)
