cxpromo.com — Top Calculator Choices Casio FX-115MS, a very good calculator I have been a faithful user of the HP 48G since 1995. However I needed a calculator that is permitted on the EIT exam. Since I am comfortable with Reverse Polish Notation entry format, my first inclination was to look for a HP product that is approved for the exam. However after reading the reviews on-line and seeing the price of the HP33S, I decided to look for an alternative. The TI 30XIIs and the Casio fx-115MS were viable options at a better price. I bought both of the TI and the Casio for comparison. Both calculators are about the same size, approximately 6″(T)X 3″(W)x1 The feel of the buttons/keys on the TI was a bit dull when pressed. The Casio keys had slightly more engaged-feel when depressed. The engaged-button feel helps when I am keying numbers without looking at the screen to know whether the calculator took the string of digits and operators correctly. The color scheme employed for button labeling on the TI does not make the “2nd” functions stand out. This is made worse by the shadow cast by the tall buttons, which make the lettering for the “2nd” functions harder to read. The Casio uses fairly distinctive colors for lettering and function schemes. This makes it easier and faster to find the correct key. I find that for engineering problems, Casio had more built in buttons. Thus I don’t have to always use “shift” or “2nd” functions. I also liked the layout of the buttons on the …

Is it possible to find data about mortgage interest rest for last 15 years?

Posted on May 19, 2012 by mortgage

Question by : Is it possible to find data about mortgage interest rest for last 15 years?
I’m doing economic project about demand analysis and mortgage interest rest is one of the factor.. but i was trying to search for data about this interest rate for last 15 years (data or graph for last 15 years)… but I always found a quote or 15 years fixed rate, which are not what I am looking for. And I also found out that mortgage interest rest also different depends on each person’s credit, so how I can find data about mortgage interest rate for last 15 years..

Thank you very much.

Best answer:
Answer by Jolly Green GiantYou can not, because there is no such a rate. What there is, is the bank of England Base rate and the LIBOR (London Inter Bank Lending Overnight Rate). These two rates are the basis that banks use to work out their rate. A mortgage rate would almost always be more expensive.

The base rate is the rate at which the Bank of England will lend money to other banks (they will add some based on the banks own credit rating) so this is the cheapest money banks can lend. The other rate, LIBOR is typically .25 to .5% higher and this is the rate at which banks will lend money to each other overnight to make up some shortfall in their own books (plus a margin depending on the banks own credit rating).

So most banks will be lending money at LIBOR plus a little bit and then lend it out to homeowners. A very good deal would be if they could get cheap money from the Bank of England at the Base rate.

So for your project, I would state that I would use the Average between Base and LIBOR and add a margin of 3% and then look for times where there was a big difference between Base, Libor and Actual Rates or SVR(Standard Variable Rate)

You may be able to get the SVR from say Barclays for the same period and then compare. Barclays SVR is often used in contracts between companies and individuals.

Northern Rock last year had a SVR of 7.9% because they could not borrow money at the low rates and had to pay much more than before, maybe 4% when everyone else was paying less than 3, and because they have to make a profit, their rate went up to 7.9%. They also used this as a strategy to push buyers away because it was so expensive, so that people would take out a mortgage elsewhere where it was cheaper and they get their money back to pay back the government bail out and reduce their mortgage book.

So look for times where there was a difference, such as recently when the Base was 1% but LIBOR stayed at about 5%. Mortgage rates are always higher than LIBOR. LIBOR is used internationally and the USA as the real Base rate.

Good luck

Short Sales and Bank-owned Properties Jump to 40 Percent of all King County Home Sales in First Quarter 2012 Short sales and bank-owned sales on the rise

Posted on May 18, 2012 by mortgage

Short Sales and Bank-owned Properties Jump to 40 Percent of all King County Home Sales in First Quarter 2012
Short sales and bank-owned sales on the rise













Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 23, 2012 Short sales and the sale of bank-owned properties rose steadily throughout the Puget Sound area in the first three months of 2012, according to a new short sale report released by Washington Property Solutions, a short sale negotiating firm. In the first quarter of 2012, short sales and the sale of bank-owned properties accounted for 40 percent of all home sales (single family homes and condominiums) in King County. That figure was up from 36 percent in the first quarter of 2011.
? 36 percent of all single family homes sold in King County in the first quarter were short sales or bank-owned properties, the same percentage as the first quarter of 2011.
? 52 percent of all condominiums sold in King County in the first quarter were short sales or bank-owned properties, up from 38 percent in the first quarter of 2011.    
? Short sales accounted for 15 percent of all homes sales in King County for the 1st quarter of 2012, including 13 percent of all single family homes and 18 percent of all condominiums.
? Bank-owned sales accounted for 25 percent of all home sales in King County in the first quarter of the year, including 23 percent of all single family homes and 33 percent of all condominiums.
? In the first three months of 2012, a third of all home sales in Seattle and on the Eastside were short sales or bank-owned properties. Of the two regions, Seattle saw the largest jump in distressed property sales, increasing from 19 percent of all sales in first quarter 2011 to 33 percent in first quarter 2012. The Eastside saw a moderate increase, from 31 percent to 33 percent in the same period.
Washington Property Solutions CEO Richard Eastern expects distressed property sales to continue to rise through 2012, accelerated by an increase in foreclosures that in turn will trigger more short sales.
“A recent agreement between state attorneys general nationwide and major banks is releasing a flood of foreclosed homes on the market,” [...] Continue Reading…

Globalization and Continued Focus on Cost Rationalization Drives the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

Globalization and Continued Focus on Cost Rationalization Drives the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.












San Jose, California (PRWEB) May 14, 2012 Follow us on LinkedIn – Business Process Outsourcing or BPO is among the fastest growing sectors of the overall IT Services/Outsourcing industry. Rapid increase in the size and scope of the BPO industry is attributed to the growing desire of global businesses to rationalize costs and address issues such as shortage of skilled personnel. Globalization and technological advancements are stimulants for the global outsourcing industry. The two factors have played a critical role in lowering overall costs by shifting business processes towards platforms, wherein the talent pool is large and labor costs are less. Globalization has also led to the emergence of developing countries as the new growth centers of the present and the future. Though the US and UK have traditionally generated maximum revenues for the BPO Industry, the scenario is changing with BPO service providers focused on exploring opportunities in the emerging markets of Asia-Pacific, Europe, Australia, and the Middle East. Such a strategy allows service providers to lower risk associated with dependence on a single geographic market. As a result, BPO vendors are focusing efforts on de-risking business operations by diversifying client base into newer destinations. On the other hand, several BPO providers managed to acquire all-round capabilities, enabling them to operate facilities at multiple locations across the world.
Following the frenetic pace of growth for over a decade, the BPO industry faced tough times due to the global economic downturn. The impact of recession on the outsourcing industry was seen in the form of slower growth rate, although the pace picked up in the year 2010. Contract restructurings dominated the industry deals, whereby the emphasis was on extending existing contractual partnerships, albeit at renegotiated terms and rates. The recession led to a marked shift away from traditional markets of the US and UK, thereby creating a geographically diverse marketplace. Currently, the sovereign debt crisis in Europe is driving investors to become risk averse again. Europe continues to face troubled times in view of the slowdown in GDP growth and large welfare budgets, further complicated by stringent opposition to measures being undertaken to curb entitlements. However, the volatile conditions are resulting in increasing interest among the European companies, particularly in continental Europe and the UK towards outsourcing.

Disability Insurance: Protection Consumers Can Not Afford To Be Without

Disability Insurance: Protection Consumers Can Not Afford To Be Without












Bedford Park, IL (PRWEB) May 02, 2012 With May being Disability Awareness Month, United Security Life and Health Insurance Company (USL&H) is unveiling its Disability Income Insurance plan. Disability Insurance, often called DI or disability income insurance, is a form of insurance that insures the beneficiary’s earned income against the risk that a disability will prevent them from being able to work.[1] Statistics show that in the US a disabling accident occurs on average once every second.
Sandy Horn, President, USL&H began, “Many people put off buying disability insurance because they think that a disabling illness or accident will never happen to them. The fact is that you have a roughly three in ten chance of becoming disabled for 90 days or more before turning 65. (1) Knowing that statistic, how many of us could afford to be without any form of income to pay for even basic expenses like grocery bills or a monthly rent or mortgage payment? Disability Income Insurance gives the insured the reassurance they will be financially secure if they become injured.”
USL&H offers Disability Income Insurance to individuals who do not have an employer plan, or who have a long-term disability plan and need a short-term plan to fill in for long elimination periods. USL&H’s Disability Income Insurance plan can be built around the insured’s specific needs in order to ensure they will have adequate coverage. In addition, USL&H’s Disability Income Insurance plan offers additional coverage such as $ 2,500 Accidental Death benefit, hospital confinement benefit up to $ 3,000 per month and an organ transplant benefit at no additional charge.
“Half of working Americans couldn’t make it a month before financial difficulties would set in, and more than one in four would have problems immediately, according to a LIFE Foundation survey. (2) Just as auto insurance protects your car, and homeowners insurance protects your home, Disability Income Insurance protects your paycheck. Especially in today’s economic conditions, taking advantage of a guaranteed way to protect your income if you become disabled is essential,” remarked Horn.
Is your paycheck protected? Calculate your needs. Figure out if you have enough disability insurance coverage by visiting http://www.lifehappens.org/disabilitycalculator.
