London TechHub - It might actually be happening

November 21st, 2008

Back in July I got a little tired of the perennial problem that hampers the development of startup eco-systems in the UK and Europe: The lack of definable geographic clusters where startups can congregate. This is not just a “nice to have”. Silicon Valley became a big deal - admittedly after decades - because people there were largely in tech. They met eachother and started things together. In the UK there have been lots of regional initiatives. But few centre on London because it’s usually con

Rental Car Companies

November 21st, 2008

Automobiles are key to the transportation of people throughout the world. They also cause congestion problems on the roadways and can be dangerous if not driven properly. Automobiles must be taken care of; serviced when needed and should always have enough full in the tank in the event of inclement weather. People need automobiles wherever they go. So, when people travel across country it is helpful to be able to use a car, even if it isn?t their own. That is where car rental companies come int

Loan Origination Basics

November 21st, 2008

I figured it might be helpful to describe the structure of the loan origination process used in my previous post. Understanding 1990s era subprime loan origination offers a baseline for comparison with subprime offerings over the last few years. This example was typical of actual lending at The Associates (TA) during the mid to late 90s. TA, the largest publicly traded finance company in the U.S, was acquired by Ford in the late 80s and then spun off again in the mid-90s and was then acquired

Irvine bank gets $15 million capital injection

November 21st, 2008

An investment fund is sinking $15 million into and taking control of Irvine-based Plaza Bank, which was founded in December 2005 and has yet to turn a profit. Although a relatively small deal, it caught my attention since there is a national credit meltdown underway. Carpenter Community BancFund said last week that the deal hinges on regulatory approval, on implementation of certain growth strategies, and on replacing the bank’s chief executive and president. Industry consultant Edward Carpen

$2 worth of advice…

November 21st, 2008

10/21/2008 BUMP: I wanted to bump this post from seven months ago - which is about the $1 per year “advisors” that Mayor Roberts appointed. You might want to read this again - as both Mo Degenarro and Richard Tremitiedi had great advice regarding the fiscal health of Hoboken. Was anyone listening to them? 3/18/2008: We pay some people over 100k a year for what? As you may recall last fall, Mayor Roberts appointed two “$1 per year advisors” in Richard Tremitiedi and Mo DeGennaro. They wri
