 Using Equity Market Information to Monitor Banking Institutions - FRBSF Economic Letter (01/24/2003)
Using equity market data in the BHC supervisory surveillance process is in keeping with broader efforts to promote market discipline in banking; see Kwan (2002) for a summary.
If equity market assessments are to be useful to BHC supervisors, they must, at a minimum, agree with supervisory assessments a reasonably large fraction of the time.
Equity market data are available sooner than supervisory data from quarterly financial statements, which could assist a monitoring model in detecting sudden changes in BHC conditions sooner.

 Dirty Deeds: Abuses and Fraudulent Practices in California's Home Equity Market
High cost home equity loans sold to homeowners with no reasonable ability to repay them, have taken the homes and devastated the lives of California homeowners, many of whom are low-income and elderly.
It appears the lenders or brokers are more interested in the borrower's equity than the ability to repay the loan because the lender can recoup the investment at a handsome profit or take the equity from the unsuspecting homeowner once the borrower falls behind on the payments.
The victims of home equity loan abuse and fraud must not be blamed for falling under the spell of unscrupulous lenders, brokers, or contractors, any more than victims of muggings and armed robberies can be blamed for becoming targets of assaults.

If the private equity industry was looking for advertisements for its merits compared with the public markets, this week would have been a very good time to start.
Private equity is, in many respects, a much purer, more efficient form of capitalism than the public markets, which in reality are not very efficient processors of information.
The public markets are certainly necessary for companies that need to raise large amounts of capital from a broad investor base but their virtues can be terribly exaggerated.

 Scotsman.com Business - Europe's private equity market full of promise
Generally buoyant stock markets and continued economic growth against a background of low inflation and a liquid and optimistic banking sector have led to sustained high levels of merger and acquisition activity.
The increasing adoption of private equity as a means for financing the growth of smaller and medium-sized private companies means that the substantial increase in the size and influence of private equity funds will not necessarily compromise future returns.
The discipline exerted by private equity investors and their incentive to make strong absolute returns means that it is not realistic to describe this situation as a bubble.

 TrustNet News / Market / Equity market dividends outdo bonds
Budd said equity market dividend yields have been outdone by the yield on 10-year government bonds since the late 1950s but the two asset classes are now seeing their yields converge.
Of all global markets, the US is the one where Arkle believes it is least likely equities will overtake bonds, with the gap between the two having stayed stable since 2002, after earlier going through a process of convergence.
His research shows that if the market remains unchanged and dividends sustain their current 10% per annum growth trend, then equity yields will be at 3.29% with bond yields remaining on 2.99%.

 Equity Market Development in Emerging and Transition EconomiesSummary of papers from an international conference held ...
The development of effective banks and equity markets that provide capital for domestic firms is a prerequisite for long-term and sustainable economic growth.
While the globalization of financial markets provides access to capital for some small segment of firms in emerging market economies, either through listing abroad or through foreign direct investment in the local banking sector, this access cannot replace domestic financial institutions for the majority of firms.
In their paper, titled "Liquidity, Volatility, and Equity Trading Costs Across Countries and Over Time," they find that there is a wide variation in one-way equity trading costs across countries, and the transactions costs are higher in emerging markets.

The marketing strategy for the home equity loan mailings was to develop an understanding of mailing home equity loan offers to Texas; gain early market share; test telemarketing for servicing prospects and explore early closing strategy through outbound telemarketing; and build an understanding of response behavior.
Although the market share targets were met initially--Wells Fargo attained an initial No. 1 or No. 2 share--only 50% to 60% of the intended dollar/volume goal was achieved.
Although projections as to total market viability could be made using experience from other states, from population/home ownership figures and bank deposit levels, no firm data on demand existed for Texas.

 KoreaTimes : Retail Investors Slowly Returning to Equity Market   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Retail investors have cut back on their net selling of equities on the local stock exchange this month and are showing signs of returning to the market.
For most of the year, domestic individual investors were heavy net sellers of equities as they shunned away from stocks and turned to other safe investment targets such as real estate and bonds.
Individual investors are still very cautious, but they could be considering equities as an attractive investment option, especially after the introduction of tougher regulations to cool the real-estate property market,’’ Kim Hak-kyun, an analyst at Goodmorning Shinhan Securities, said.

 Peggy Twohig: Predatory Lending Practices in the Home-Equity Lending Market
The secondary market's expansion has, in turn, helped to sustain growth in the industry by enabling lenders to raise funds on the open market to expand their subprime lending activities.
Elderly homeowners, in particular, are frequent targets of some subprime home equity lenders, because they often have substantial equity in their homes, yet have fixed or declining incomes.
Asset-based lending, where a loan is based on equity in a property rather than on a borrower's ability to repay the loan, is among the most harmful of predatory lending practices.

 The economics of the private equity market
The private equity market has become an important source of funds for start-up firms, private middle-market firms, firms in financial distress, and public firms seeking buyout financing.
Despite the market's extraordinary growth and its importance to many types of firms, it has received little attention in the financial press or the academic literature.
One is that the growth of private equity is a classic example of the way organizational innovation, aided by regulatory and tax changes, can ignite activity in a particular market.
