As professionals in the fields of bankruptcy, dell'allenamento and corporate restructuring and an admission sfacciata of personal interest, readily admit to being extremely interested in whether the U.S. economy is due for a fall. It was often said that economists have predicted nine of the last five recessions. The concept was also advanced by the Clinton administration, not long ago that the cycle, as we always understood, was a thing of the past. Is this so? On the one hand, there have been only two recessions throughout the real lasting power in the last twenty years. The first took place in early Reagan administration, when the cutting of aggressive preventive and loss of income caused by the economic strategy of the sideâ € the supply of the œ â € of the storekeeper David took a huge bite from power public spending, public lending voluminous forced and triggered a recession. The economy has grown quickly from recession, with development costs or excessive government deficits, the second point of view of the € ™ s of oneâ. In 1990, another recession followed, partly as a result of the arrest late 1987 stock market. This decrease has lasted about two or three years and the economy has espanta once more. After a long period of prosperity, the Clinton administration said the dead cycle and has vantata that the combination of fiscal and monetary policy permanently had rendered obsolete. The burst of the dot com bubble alleged triggered a recession in 2001, but it was fairly short duration be barely significant (except, of course, to those who had their entire net worth tied up in it) and soon was replaced by a bubble of real estate. For the moment the powers – that – be both admitted that there was a recession, have stated above, in the same breath. Not even the horror of 9 / 11 could take the speculators out of the runway. Meanwhile, the fund managed alternative (align an improper term for what essentially are reserved equity funds) could generate liquidity from the unprecedented € œ of the monetizingâ, â € of all species of mortgages secondary-primeâ of the € of obligationsâ of the € | from the so-called, â € œ of collateralized obligations based providers of most conventional. This, in truth, was nothing more or less a replay of mania purchase by the salaried € ™ s 1980â, where speculators and corporate raider today have eliminated the value of holdings in the hope that the gains of ™ s € of tomorrowâ would have been sufficient to replace the withdrawal. And if not, well, that would be someone problem of € ™ s of elseâ. The main difference this time around, of course, is that the ponds large liquidity generated by this mechanism have (after, of course, have made some people incredibly rich), had largely been reinvested in the trade as extremely – the low-cost loans, mezzanine financing and equity. Too much money chasing too few business have led some of these funds (and, indeed, more traditional lenders, who must make their investment of € ™ of shareholdersâ to work), to put the money in marginal businesses, or to finance the questionable loan. So far, have paid off, with seemingly endless sources of money available and easy ™ s economyâ €, which enjoys a sweet, â the very œ long of € of the â € of profit and capital resource . The problem is in one of two ways: the economy riscalderà significantly raising the cost of funds to trade in the form of interest rates higher or reluctance to establish a fund for profits marginal, or perhaps losses, or 'economy will weaken significantly, which, however, resulting in more low-cost loans, cause ironically samples closer loan failures and increased business. You see, profits are infinitely easier to generate if the cost of money is essentially taken dall'equazione. In business environments more traditional, service debt is an important component of profits and losses. This phenomenon is already beginning to manifest itself highly – in the crisis-secondary primeâ divulg of the mortgage of € œ of the â €. Providers secondary and tertiary (and in some cases cash and is a fund for the loan under the radar screen through the vehicles of these providers), are extending mortgages to home owners whose solvency is suspected scommettenti on a property market infinity and rising rates historically low continued. This system worked just fine long as the position of these providers has been protected by their collateralization and the increased ability of borrowers carry their positions overleveraged with easy availability of money. Now, with the decline in national values and domestic arponare of imminent rate adjustable mortgages, many of these loans will default. What makes this situation especially dangerous is that providers original geralmente, no longer hold the paper. These mortgages have been, and instead of the monetizedâ of € œ of the â € in ponds of security, direct wholesale by administrators anonymous and unnamed. When mortgages stabilise, these administrators will be forced to foreclose and, geralmente, will not have the discretion to outâ € of the work of the œ â € of loans. This is a potential disaster waiting to happen, particularly for the central class. The girls pon pon for the economy and the stock market, which contend that the sub-primeâ of the € œ of the â € and the value of domestic problems are likely to be contained and not fall into the above is at large I believe in interpreting incorrectly salient. The full two thirds of the United States are determined in the same weapon left in our arsenal: our seemingly endless appetite for consumer goods. After all, barely fabbricheremo something in this country anymore. We are almost entirely a service and a determined consumer. Many preclusioni owner of the dwelling, caused overleveraging (in many cases, home owners who seek to retire debt credit card rate above) can not fail to have an effect on consumer spending. In addition, our U.S. dollars very weak threatens to make a secondary power in consumption. For example, the consumption of € ™ s of Chinaâ is growing exponentially, with a rapidly growing and the largest savings currency in the world (not to mention the one billion potential consumers). Supports Chinese guest mediation reserve more than they were tripled during the past two years. And what we have to export to these people? Cars? T € ™ of the canâ even sell here. Technology? Well, many of intellectual property are born here, but the products are much more economically manufactured abroad, as is the component of service. Have you called the service technology from Microsoft recently? Have you got connected to Silicon Valley or Bombay / Mumbai? The competition around the world for our historic economic superiority is fierce. If our cable goes in the manufacture (and geralmente, already has) and our position as the great bastion of consumerism international decreases, we threatened to transform into an economic power second-rate. And all the easy money in the world do not keep them from that. The cycle may indeed be a thing of the past, but not in the sense that advertising was made a. This time, we can not so easily recover from declining. That decrease can still be a very time being, what with the association almost cospirativa trade, financial institutions, markets and government to inject the oceans of liquidity in a system that depends on all our stuff purchase and spend well beyond our means. But being behind all those cash, we must have a solid basis advantageous business. This (and only this) is our only hope for future economic dominance. Warren R. Graham Copyright 2007
