    • Have We Created a Culture of Debt? [view article]
      The Adjustment to economic reality need not be all that painful! Before I give the answer I agree hold heartily with 2houndz and olretred and the other post. But we are in the times when we need real honest to goodness answers that can be used now, right now by the lead ants seeking their candy.

      Forget the past (and no we will not repeat it!) the answer is technological if Mark Thoma, David Brooks, and Gretchen Morgenson means incomplete economic thought that permitted flawed designed financial instruments. Yes the mortgage instruments, credit card, and labor contract are flawed from the inception and not suitable for the 21st century reality economy where the speed of information has revealed the cracks in incomplete economic thought.

      Product Equity Value for the first time in global economic thought shifts the focus from the boardroom to the customers by making the customers the largest single stakeholder in the corporation by intent and inception by taking advantage of the weak spot in corporate capitalization design.

      The weak spot in the global grappling for customers is that the customers were left out in the design of the capitalization structure of companies when they went public. The weak spot is evidence in the many gimmicks of cash back, rebates, discounts, coupons, toaster free samples, loyalty programs, which are all various forms of piece meal equity. Product Equity Value is the new customer mantra. Does this product or service give tradable equity after I purchase it where my equity is worth more than the product or service thus eliminating obsolesces?

      To understand www.productequityvalue.../ one must have mastery of ‘why’ the ‘energy gap’ exist between $1 of revenue and n$ of capitalization for publicly traded corporations and ‘how’ to manipulate this ‘energy gap’ for the customers and all stakeholders in the new 21st Century corporation redesign.

      There are no smoke and mirrors here and get rich quick scheme. Get rich quick you will from this structural solution. Corporations already produce more value from a unit of revenue this is the primary reason for being a publicly traded company so as to get more bang for the buck. The problem is that revenues are not predictable (except for oil companies) because there is no customer loyalty because the corporation has not planned and gave equity in advance for the customer’s loyalty. Product Equity Value solves this.

      Essentially with Product Equity Value we have a ‘new consumption function’ in economic thought where the old function stated that ‘consumption is a function of income’ we can now state that ‘consumption is a function of Product Equity Value’ where consumption dollars are turned into tradable equity righting "The Good Ship Lollipop".

    • How the U.S. Financial Crisis Resembles Japan’s 'Lost Decade' - And How to Play It, Part II [view article]
      Warren Buffet does not know everything. Everything that Warren Buffet knows is based an outdated corporate model of greed. Yes he may be able to shift faster than most to the new corporate model when it comes. But he does not know what this new model is and the impact that it will have in the short term on his holdings. All he will know is that his holdings and the US corporations, as he knew them are disappearing under his nose.

      What the readers need to be aware us as the someone said above is that the US is not producing the counting talent and others such as the BRIC are poised to combine against the US, UK and Europe with better designed corporate structures better designed mortgages instruments, and totally elimination of the credit card! No one in academia is challenging the fact that these base financial instruments are flawed in favor of the few.

      Have you seen that corporate and commuter jet that Brazil produces for example? When was the last time that you saw an advertisement from Brazil asking for US investments or help never because they do not need the US. Have you seen the laws in the US that protect the few entrenched with such terms as qualified and unqualified investors? Have you seen a justice department that virtually put out of business about 500 US corporations since 2002 and lock up about 1,500 risk takers for 5 to 100 years based on things that do not even exist in Japan, German, and even the UK? Ok yes we are a country of laws but whose laws?

      Spending $1 trillion on hard defense is not the solution! When the soft defense of education is lacking! Do you not think that there is something strange about a mortgage instruments where so must goes to interest in the short terms? Where credit cards charge over 20% routinely? The laws of physics are not for physics alone! These laws can be applied to the business world as well and they have in a few labs.

      The amount that a country spends on defense is proportional to its fear? We are afraid of a paper tiger. Not to say that villain’s are not in the world and they are. But not proportional to $1 trillion while the mortgage market goes to hell in a hand basket!

      Do you know that there are more fearful people in the USA than in the rest of the world combined? The fear of losing my house and the fear of losing my job…$1 trillion in defense is not going to eliminate this fear!

      Only the simple redesign of just three financial tools (hopefully from the US) will change this…
