Business owners will eventually learn that these liquid assets may may have the potential to save their business in times of recession. Since the liquid market is composed of buyers and sellers who are accessible at any given time, these things, once converted to cash, can help the company in terms of providing for expenses and meeting payroll demands.
In a roundtable discussion, some of the leaders in the treasury and cash management field discussed current trends and potential solutions for cash-strapped corporations. Amol Gupte, managing director, head of treasury and trade solutions, North America, Citi, said that they are starting to see what looks like a long-term shift that will change the way clients and banks operate. David Conroy, Americas head of trade finance and cash management corporates, Global Transaction Banking, Deutsche Bank, said that the tools that banks continue to provide for their customers in terms of visibility, deployment and access to cash are critically important. Tony Gandolfo, director of treasury services strategy and planning, The Bank of New York Mellon, said that cash and working capital management 1...
Not this time. Being a food writer isn't exactly waist-line friendly, and now that I've entered the metabolically sluggish thirties, I know it's time to set myself up for a long lifetime of happy, healthy dining. So in 2008, I'm changing my approach. I've vowed to consume only foods that make me tingle with pleasure, rather than giving in to the "if it's around, it's in my mourn" syndrome that infects so many sedentary office workers with easy access to stores that sell salt 'n vinegar chips. The rules of this regimen come from my reading and my own intuition. Taking my cue from Michael Pollan's new book, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto, I shoot for "mostly plants." My goal is nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day. I know that eating sugars makes me crash - hard - so all...
This paper finds wealth enhancement from equity private placement issuances where liquid assets are provided to slack-poor companies. This result runs counter to the expected Jensen's (1986) excess free-cash-flow problem, where the predominant findings of numerous studies include negative wealth effects from externally financed liquidity enhancements. We also find greater announcement-period returns for smaller firms and firms with better recent performance. Investors appear to view either of these factors, together with the private investor's willingness to provide additional liquidity, as an asymmetric information release on the firm's viability and likelihood of improved performance.
This year is difficult," said Chris Callanan, sales and marketing representative for Aire, based in Meridian. "Business certainly took a downturn. "The recession has definitely affected our business, primarily on the outfitter side," wrote Maravia CEO Doug Tims from his summer outpost in the Frank Church Wilderness of No Return. "Outfitted trips nationwide are down, so they have deferred capital purchases - just like they did after 9/11." Aire has broken into three distinct divisions: Aire, which designs and manufactures whitewater rafts, catarafts and inflatable kayaks; Outcast, which specializes in fishing gear; and Aire Industrial, a relatively new venture that manufactures products for industrial spill containment. For Aire, which was founded 20 years ago, the diversification has ...

Water banks aren't a particularly new idea. Farmers along Idaho's Snake River established the first water bank in the 1930s, as a way to share unused water. "It operated for a number of years informally outside of the regular legal water-law system," says Clay Landry, the managing director of a consulting company called WestWater Research. "The local community got together and came up with this concept, and it was such a good idea that the Legislature authorized it 40 years later. People at the local level will find what's comfortable for them," [Larry MacDonnell] says. "If they are comfortable, it's going to work. Otherwise, you're going to create institutional rules nobody's going to use." Regardless of how water prices finally shake out, the water bank also provides a twist on an o...

Banks make loans that cannot be sold quickly at a high price. Banks issue demand deposits that allow depositors to withdraw at any time. This mismatch of liquidity, in which a bank's liabilities are more liquid than its assets, has caused problems for banks when too many depositors attempt to withdraw at once. Diamond and Dybvig (1983) develop a model to explain why banks choose to issue deposits that are more liquid than their assets and to understand why banks are subject to runs. This article uses narrative and numerical examples to provide a straightforward explanation of the ideas in Diamond and Dybvig (1983). States in the 1930s has been blamed on the lack of Federal Reserve discount window lending by Friedman and Schwartz (1963). Deposit insurance will solve this problem of discr...
