U.S. insurance giant, AIG, has agreed to pay 725 million dollars to settle fraud charges brought by the three markets pension fund Ohio, the state attorney general said Friday.

“The settlement of fraud charges AIG covers many things from October 1999 until April 2005 that involves the division of anti-market competition, violation of accounting and stock price manipulation,” attorney general Richard Cordray’s office said in a statement quoted by AFP.

Cordray declared a class action settlement a victory for “teachers, firefighters, police, and civil servants,” who “harmed” by AIG’s mistakes.

The company was accused of accounting fraud designed to boost AIG’s reserves to cover claims, the scheme of bid-rigging by insurance brokers and executives ordered traders to inflate AIG’s stock price. Cordray said that it is a class-action securities settlement 10th-largest in U.S. history. This is the latest blow to a company that requires nearly 70 billion dollar government bailout to stay afloat after the sub prime mortgage crisis. Read the rest of this entry »

Level of wealth is not measured by the amount of actual income, but rather depends on the character of earnings management. In short, no matter how small the income, it is possible to be rich if they are willing and able to innovate in financial management. What is financial innovation? It is simply doing different things in financial management. For example, if most people use credit cards to get into debt, in the corridors of financial innovation, use of credit cards is to take advantage of grace payments so that you can use the funds of others, in a certain period of time without any cost.

So, if you shop on this day and then pay it off before maturity, meaning you can get additional cash flow in period, which can be used for various things.

Imagine, if you can buy goods at a price of “X”, for example, then resell it at a price of “X” plus a profit, you have to do business without capital, and even make a profit. In other words, debt that is used for productive activities is one of financial innovation, moreover, if the debt itself was obtained without any costs like the use of credit cards. What if it raises the interest cost of debt? No problem. As long as interest costs are still lower than the benefits, you still belong among the innovative. So, in sum, develop an asset could be done without capital. It was obtained from the debt capital then used to do business. And business results are capable of providing higher returns than the cost of debt itself. Read the rest of this entry »

In business, investment is absolute. Without investment, you can be difficult to start business. For preparation and your equipment is not sufficient to jump in online business.

Investment here could be money, time, and energy.
Time? Clearly your time is an important investment. Any minimum time you spend, in business, investing the time would always be there. If you have an investment of time, means that investment is also out of power, because at least you invest the energy to think about it your business.

Well now the investment in the form of money / funds. This is probably avoided a lot of people. The reason may be because the funds that come out are not counted as a form of investment, but expenditure.

Though much different between the two. Expenditure means something that does not need to expected returns. Medium, calculated investments return on his investment, until then reached for the profit, profit, and so on until the business is run to grow bigger.

You must already know that now the communication needs have almost become the primary requirement. I wish to add, maybe now there are four primary needs, clothing, food, shelter, and communication. Communication media also have very much evolved if not arguably had a revolution. This communications revolution is so fierce (of course with the support of technology), not all phases can we tasted. For example, some time ago (early 2000’s, although it was not until five years ago), the data transfer technology GPRS class was very qualified, and still very few who use it. Not until three years, the data transfer technology has emerged so-called G or EDGE 2.5 people. Not until two years later came the 3G technology which has been carrying around a video-call capabilities. Still, his fate seemed no better than EDGE, because soon appear again 3.5 G technology with other names HSDPA / HSUPA that age does not seem too long because the alias WIMAX 4G technology has been waiting for implementation. WIMAX is by calculating the proportion of cost-benefit provides a more optimal will immediately make 3G devices become obsolete. Need impairment? Possibly, but we just enjoy it while it was 3.5 G and 3G services before the time ran out.

There are two things that can not be separated in businesses, i.e. the seller and buyer to each other interact. Whatever type of business that we run, it can not be separated from the two earlier elements?

There is a saying that the consumer is king. Proverb that I think is still relevant to current conditions or even universal. Seller will not be able to sell if there were no consumers, consumer vice versa will not be able to meet all their need if there are no sellers.

I think the effort to maintain consumer is far more difficult than getting new customers. Each business activity will compete to retain customers with a variety of ways so that the consumer does not move to another customer. Treat the consumer as king over many perceived by companies engaged in services. For those of you who have business that you run the center, there is a simple way how to retain customers in order to always give money to us. These are tips for you:
