Lloyds Banking Group to cut 15,000 middle managers in effort to save £1.5bn

Posted by Donald D. Monahan at Jun 29, 2011 | No Comments »

By Harry Wilson, and Jamie Dunkley

8:07AM BST 30 Jun 2011

Antonio Horta-Osorio, who took over as chief executive in March, announced the cuts today as part of strategic review that he expects to lead to £1.5bn of annual cost savings by the end of 2014.

Mr Horta-Osorio said the job losses would involve staff reductions across the bank’s business and a large-scale cull of its middle management as well as a withdrawal from several of its international businesses.

“We have to do this because this bank is losing money on an after-tax basis. We have to get this bank back on its feet,” said Mr Horta-Osorio. “I’m sure our staff are going to see we have a clear strategy for the future.”

The cuts are part of a wider review of Lloyds operations that will see the bank invest £500m of its annual cost savings in initiatives such as revitalising its Halifax brand and building up the wealth management business.

South African Airways cuts airfares to attract more tourists to Tanzania

Posted by Donald D. Monahan at Jun 28, 2011 | No Comments »

TANZANIA (eTN) – In a friendly gesture to mark fifty years of Tanzania’s independence from Britain, South African Airways has announced to cut down airfare for travelers from the United States to Tanzania.

Sources from the airline’s management said travelers and tourists flying between New York (US) and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) will have to pay discounted and reduced airfares.

Special airfares will be applicable between August and mid-December this year, a period that covers three months in which Tanzania will be celebrating 50 years of self-rule from British colonial rule.

Truman said that South African Airways (SAA) recognized that there was high demand among travelers flying to and from Tanzania during the peak months before this African destination mark its 50 years of independence amid activities, which will attract an inflow of people from different nationalities.

In line with reduced airfare, SAA said it will make a same-day connection from JFK International Airport in New York to Dar es Salaam through its hub in Johannesburg, South Africa, hoping to encourage more tourists to experience Tanzania especially at such a festive and historic time.

Downsize Your Lifestyle for a Lighter Future

Posted by Wendy Conklin at Jun 28, 2011 | No Comments »

Could you use to downsize your stuff?

It occurred to me last Christmas, as my husband asked me what I wanted, that I had too much stuff.

I couldn’t really think of anything that I really wanted — much less actually needed. And, as I looked around at a house full of things, I began fantasizing about getting rid of some of our stuff.

The fact that my family might have to move has me even more interested in downsizing, since I don’t want to take it all with me.

But where do we begin with downsizing the lifestyle? It isn’t always easy to get rid of stuff, and it can be just as hard to break habits of spending money on more stuff. So, as I work toward downsizing my lifestyle, here are some things I want to try:

The first thing you need to do as you begin downsizing your lifestyle is to stop buying stuff. Impose a waiting period on anything you think you need. After a

FCC stays neutral on the state of U.S. wireless competition

Posted by Wendy Conklin at Jun 28, 2011 | No Comments »

Is there enough competition among the wireless service companies in the U.S.? The Federal Communications Commission’s annual report on the matter, released yesterday, didn’t definitively answer that question. And its neutral stance is causing many to wonder how the regulatory agency will rule on the pending merger of AT&T and T-Mobile.

In its 304-page “15th Annual Mobile Wireless Competition Report,” the FCC acknowledge that the U.S. market for wireless service has become more concentrated, for the second consecutive year. But it stopped short of making a “formal finding” as to whether there is effective competition in the industry.

Auto Finance: Are You Paying Too Much for Your Car Loan?

Posted by Carolyn Mack at Jun 28, 2011 | No Comments »

Jerry Edgerton of CBS MoneyWatch asks, “If you have a mortgage, you have probably considered refinancing it at a lower rate. But what about your car loan?”
Edgerton continues to explain the benefits of auto refinance for those who have financed their car with a dealer since interest rates are often marked up. He also explains the crucial relationship between one’s interest rate and one’s credit score:
“Like original new car financing, refinancing is all about your credit score. Go to annualcreditreport.com, look over your report and take the paid option to get your score. (Avoid sound-alike sites that just want to sell you a monthly credit monitoring service). That will tell you what kind of interest rate you qualify for.”
Edgerton also advocates for services like MoneyAisle.com, “which will refer you to banks or credit unions interested in refinancing loans. Read more…

Forecasting Commodity Prices

Posted by Wendy Conklin at Jun 28, 2011 | No Comments »

With commodity prices exhibiting wide fluctations over the past few years, it’s no wonder that many are interested in determining what procedure best forecasts. A recent New York Fed blog post by Jan Groen and Paolo Pesenti tackles this issue. In a horse race between various economic, time series, and futures-based approaches…

there is no obvious winner. Information from large panels of global economic variables can help, but their forecasting properties are by no means overwhelming. It all depends on the choice of the specific index and the forecasting horizon. …

…For example, for one specific commodity price index, PLS regressions provide significantly better predictions than both autoregressive and random walk benchmarks when used to forecast one-month and one-quarter-ahead commodity prices.

Hawaii courts create jobs in Texas to harass Hawaiians

Posted by Donald D. Monahan at Jun 27, 2011 | 2 Comments »

Getting a traffic ticket in Hawaii and forgetting to pay it can get complicated, harassing, and expensive.

Not only will you find a stopper on your drivers license making it impossible to renew your license, not only will you not be able to just pay your ticket at the court, but you will have to send your money to Texas, pay up to 50% in additional fees to a Texas-based collection agency, and add another US$10.00 credit card handling fee for immediate service.

This can easily double the cost of your ticket.

The Hawaii court system, like many other jurisdictions, has contracted with the Texas-based Municipal Service Bureau to collect on Hawaii-issued traffic tickets.

Once the collection agency is involved, they will be provided with your social security number, your date of birth, your drivers license number, all your phone numbers, including unlisted numbers.
