What’s a great name for my new business?
drgolfmd asked the question:
I’m launching my own Financial Services company. I’ve worked in Financial Services for many years, and I’m sick with how dirty and dishonest my bosses are.
So, I’m venturing out on my own. In the company name, I want to speak to honesty, integrity and commitment to customer service.
We offer debt management services for those you can’t pay their bills. We offer credit management services for those who can pay their bills now, but haven’t always done so in the past and thus have derogatory accounts on their credit reports. I can make those go away.
We offer capital management services, helping people with good credit get capital to fund business and investment opportunities.
We offer capital growth and cash flow investments that outperform credit unions, banks and savings and loans.
I was thinking…
Family Values Financial Services…
but somebody said it sounding like I had some right-wing conservative Christian movement in mind.
I though about…
Eagles Flight Financial Services…
but I’m not completely sold on that either.
So, here’s your chance to be part of history…help me name my new company…hopefully it will be a household word in a couple of years.
Thanks for all your constructive help.

How do you introduce yourself to a department you want to work for?
Val V asked the question:
I work for a financial company. I am in a service oriented role, but want to move into an analytical role. In meetings, we’ve had people from the analysts’ side say “if this is something you would be interested in, stop by and talk to our group, and get familiar with it, so that we can become familiar with you when you apply.” So it seems like they are recruiting, and I would like to work there.
How would you go about making a good first impression? What kind of questions would you bring up in getting to know the group and how it works? Any other suggestions from those who have been in a similar situation would be appreciated.
Thanks

New Agency Proposed to Oversee Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
By STEPHEN LABATON
The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.
Under the plan, disclosed at a Congressional hearing today, a new agency would be created within the Treasury Department to assume supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-sponsored companies that are the two largest players in the mortgage lending industry.
The new agency would have the authority, which now rests with Congress, to set one of the two capital-reserve requirements for the companies. It would exercise authority over any new lines of business. And it would determine whether the two are adequately managing the risks of their ballooning portfolios.
The plan is an acknowledgment by the administration that oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac — which together have issued more than $1.5 trillion in outstanding debt — is broken. A report by outside investigators in July concluded that Freddie Mac manipulated its accounting to mislead investors, and critics have said Fannie Mae does not adequately hedge against rising interest rates.
”There is a general recognition that the supervisory system for housing-related government-sponsored enterprises neither has the tools, nor the stature, to deal effectively with the current size, complexity and importance of these enterprises,” Treasury Secretary John W. Snow told the House Financial Services Committee in an appearance with Housing Secretary Mel Martinez, who also backed the plan.
Mr. Snow said that Congress should eliminate the power of the president to appoint directors to the companies, a sign that the administration is less concerned about the perks of patronage than it is about the potential political problems associated with any new difficulties arising at the companies.

Do we live our lives based on sayings and cliche’s?
Rest of Your Life Off asked the question:
This is intresting to me, I am a recruiter for a financial services company and I talk to many people everyday.. One saying I keep running into I like to call the” I’m fine” syndrome.They say ” I don’t like my job and I’m drowning in debt but I’m fine.”Another is,”I’m sorry I’m not intrested in a 6 figure opportunity,we have a union.”
I even had someone tell me it is illegal to pay off a mortgage.
So what do you think, do we have these sayings locked and loaded for the next time anyone challenges our comfort zone?
Also have some fun with this and tell me any sayings or cliche’s
that drive you nuts..

Does crime pay?
Bucky Ruckus asked the question:
It apparently does if you’re in the illegal alien business. Read on…
LAS VEGAS & ARLINGTON, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–LAT Money Centers, a Hispanic-owned financial services company, has introduced the industry’s first nationwide financing program for undocumented workers that want to buy homes. This lending program will offer loans to potential homeowners using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN) and Matricula Consular IDs in lieu of social security numbers. The company announced the new initiative at the 2006 Hispanic Marketing Convention & Expo hosted by the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals this week in Las Vegas.
“NAHREP’s 2004 study estimated that the market potential for these loans is conservatively $44 billion in new mortgages,” said Timothy Sandos, NAHREP President and CEO.

Hey, Rob- Last time I checked, being an ILLEGAL ALIEN was AGAINST THE LAW!
