Seeking Alpha in Indian Real Estate [view article]
Most originators of mortgages are flush with funds and are happy to hold the mortgages and earn a return instead of securitizing and getting it off their books. Even if they were to do that and do more originations with the money raised, that would only push up the prices of existing real estate. I don't know of anywhere where CDOs are used to "low cost housing for the millions"? There are poor people in the US too - the most developed market for collaterized securities - but have you seen CDOs being used to "low cost housing for the millions "?Reply

Many of the areas of the world with high solar collection potential also lack adequate fresh water.Solar thermal energy production in arid coastal regions also has the potential to distill fresh water from salt or brackish water, and collect the salt precipitant for thermal heat storage and night time electricity generation.

why cant Indian real estate lending be converted into CDOs without the junk element.. the market could then finance low cost housing for the millions and offer decent returns to investors.. ReplyShenoy

Prices are already going down in India (though urban real estate and condos are hugely valued and people tend to pay huge premiums as compared to the US, even in a slump). Specifically, in Bangalore panic pricing is setting in. Even in Delhi and Mumbai prices have slowed down and there aren't too many transactions happening - both in commercial and residential real estate.I'm in India and I can short them all - but I just don't think it's right to do it now. The national budget, usually a big important thing here, is up on the 29th and could contain sops for the sagging real estate sector, or for real estate investments in general. 29h is also the first day after the current month's futures expiry so if I had to short, I'd choose the end-of-day of the 29th to start.

Quite interesting. Thanks! ReplyIndian Outsourcers Fight Back Against Presidential Candidates [view article]
Every industry that uses lower cost options helps Americans - whether they realize it or not. If health insurers use India-based outsourcers, health insurance premiums for Americans go down. If hospitals use syringes manufactured in China, healthcare costs go down.If General Motors uses IT staff in India, their cars become more competitive globally and their workers retain jobs.
Indians and Chinese are now a growing market for American companies. For example, India is the only market where GM car sales are growing.
If you want to analyze why the economy is in bad shape - look at the bosses who earn 100s of millions of dollars every year, look at Alan Greenspan who printed so much money that every dollar got devalued. Look at Bush who started a pointless war that killed thousands of people and led to so much wealth destruction. Stop the war and spend the money on improving American lives. Reply

Reminds me of Hillary Clinton's going to Buffalo NY a couple of years ago to congratulate Tata on opening a new outsourcing office -- because they would have to hire local people to staff it. But nobody told Hillary that Tata only hires Indian nationals.First the ads, then the layout, then the circulation office, then the editing, then when the actual printing goes electronic.... I guess the reporters are safe, though I imagine the investors are trying to figure out a way to replace them with H-1Bs. Reply

Perhaps you've seen this story about a solar grand plan for the U.S.www.sciam.com/article....
It's encouraging, but I think we can do even better. It speaks of investing $400 billion over 20 years or so to develop concentrating solar, both PV and thermal, in our southwest, and building a new DC distribution network.
Given the amount of money now subsidizing oil and other fossil fuels, a dramatic change in these policies could finance such projects even faster than projected in the article.
If I'm not mistaken, we are now subsidizing the fossil fuel industries at about $80 billion a year. That's $400 billion in five years. Or at $50 billion a year, you're looking at 8 years. We could scale up these solar and grid projects faster than the 40 years described in the article referred to above. It really is about our mindset as much as anything else. We can do anything if we change our thinking. After 40 years or so of us environmentalists warning that the earth is in critical condition, which is now confirmed by the majority of the world's scientists, many Americans still percieve environmentalists as misguided wierdos. Even without global warming, the statement is true that earth is in critical condition.
The fact that the Republicans were able to strip the alt energy tax credits from the recent energy bill, and the proposals to take $21 billion in tax credits from the highly profitable oil industry, to be applied to alternative energy, speaks volumes about how far we have to go in changing our thinking. Vote for the earth this year. It's the environment stupid! What could possibly be as important?
The difference in importance approaches infinity. I say this because, compared with whether the earth will be able to support life in the coming centuries is infinitely more important than any other issue. Will we continue to be distracted into believing that other issues are even worth mentioning in comparison? The thinking currently goes something like this. "Sure we can save the environment, as long as it doesn't cost too much." That is considered sane reasonable thinking among many of us. And those self interests who promote such thinking will continue to try and frighten the populace into rejecting any progressive ideas for fear of their pocketbook. I believe that alternative energy offers one of the best oppurtunities for envigorating our enonomy. It's about the future, and the future isn't oil.
The situation in China and India means that we in the developed world have to do that much more to offset this increased demand for oil. The new mantra of the anti environmentalists is that China is now the culprit in global warming; so why should the U.S. change it's ways? This of course is pretzel logic and dishonest. It is the west that has been filling the atmosphere with greenhouse gases for 150 years and that is largely reponsible for the current CO2 levels.
And we have 1 quarter of China's population in the U.S., which means we are four times as dirty per capita.
And being the leading country in the world, according to our own assesment, shouldn't we be the ones setting an example? We can cut back on our oil use in many ways, one of which is by switching to bioplastics, ala Metabolix and others. We use 10% of our oil to make plastics. And these plastics are a huge pollution problem. This is a better use of biomass than ethanol. And we can switch from tree based paper making to hemp based paper, which is more sustainable and could save us from destroying the great boreal forests of Canada, as well as our own forests. I know, that's not directly related to oil use but is also of great importance to the oxygon/CO2 balance. And trees are vital to the earth's health in many more ways.

Great article and analysis. I wonder if the Chinese may find other ways to circumvent their growing electrical supply problems. ReplyNabloid

Yes, I know it won't meet U.S./Canadian standards - but it show manufacturer's that its at least possible to make vehicles cheaper than they are now.And, as you mention, it will serve India and some other markets quite well. Tata is positioned well to have a good future in the developing world. Reply
Under The Radar News - Friday [view article]
RE: Only a Bailout....Why is it that whenever we have a Republican administration we always need to bail out the banks? We need to take tax-payers money and give it to the wealthy bankers and foolhardy investors because the banks (under Reagan it was the S&Ls) got into trouble because they were not properly regulated.
So once again the Republicans want to steal from the Social Security fund to pay the bankers for their failed policies.
As for the economy.....
IT'S THE DEFICIT STUPID!!!
