Blue Asset Management LLC Expands Mortgage Loan Sales

Leave a comment

Blue Asset Management LLC is offering numerous delinquent and non-performing first mortgage loans collateralized by small and mid-sized commercial real estate in New Jersey.

Wayne, NJ, March 19, 2013 — Blue Asset Management LLC is offering numerous delinquent and non-performing first mortgage loans collateralized by small and mid-sized commercial real estate in New Jersey. The mortgages are being offered for sale to individual investors seeking to reposition the property or the loan as the real estate market stabilizes in New Jersey.

“The real estate market in New Jersey has momentum not seen since before the mortgage crisis began,” said Charles Blumenkehl, CEO of Blue Asset Management LLC. “Local individual note purchasers are best suited to work with the borrower and asset to maximize opportunity while returning the asset to a market performer.”

The mortgages being offered were acquired in 2011 and represent approximately $15 million in unpaid balances collateralized by quality commercial real estate assets located in New Jersey. Blumenkehl added, “The stabilization of distressed real estate assets is a key component to the stabilization of the Real Estate market overall. The investor purchasing the loan will take the additional steps necessary to stabilize the asset, and by reducing the inventory of troubled mortgages, community stabilization is achieved.”

To obtain information about the mortgage notes offered, log onto the company website at www.blueassetmanagementllc.com or call the company directly at 973 835-1400

Edgar Perez, Keynote at London HFT Conference, Warns of Impending Correction in US Equities Markets

Leave a comment

Golden Networking hosts the World’s Most Influential High-Frequency Trading Conference Series, High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges”, March 21 (www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com).

New York City, NY, USA (March 19, 2013) — Mr. Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders and the forthcoming Knightmare on Wall Street, and keynote speaker at Golden Networking’s High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges”, March 21, warned of an impending correction in the US equities markets coming as early as in the second quarter. The full article can be read at his blog, http://www.TheSpeedTraders.com, though this link: http://thespeedtraders.wordpress.com/2013/03/17/the-correction-in-the-us-equities-markets-nobody-wants-to-talk-about-edgar-perez-hft-speaker.

Mr. Perez attributed the recent Dow Jones Industrial Average’s (DJIA) longest winning streak since 1996 to very good corporate earnings and monetary policy that pushes investors to take risks in equities. So he asked himself if the earnings momentum is sustainable. “Unfortunately, savings from the smaller share of the pie from labor, government spending and earnings coming from emerging markets (EM) outside the US are all factors that will be curtailed at some moment. Is the Fed eager to continue being the huge player in this equation? Some of its members are increasingly worried about the effectiveness of the continued QE; if the labor market recovers, as the January numbers showed, the Fed most probably might be ending its bond purchases soon.”

“What the equity markets want indeed is stable and/or predictably increasing US profits and the Fed to stay in the bond markets. Somebody has ironically suggested that markets’ best hope might be a cut in government spending deep enough to kill job growth and indefinitely extend QE, something that nobody else would agree with. Instead, markets would be happy with a bit of positive news today followed by another bit of negative news tomorrow. Unfortunately for the markets, profits will start showing stagnation starting with first quarter results. Federal Reserve said in September 2012, when QE3 was announced, that it would start pumping $40 billion a month to purchase agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) until the labor market improves substantially. When will the Fed determine that the job market has made enough progress to reduce stimulus? The numbers for February will prove paramount in this regard. As these two important factors converge in a nightmarish scenario, equities markets should beware of the ensuing correction, coming as early as in the second quarter.”

Mr. Perez has been interviewed on CNBC Cash Flow, CNBC Squawk Box, BNN Business Day, CCTV China, Bankier.pl, TheStreet.com, Leaderonomics, GPW Media, Channel NewsAsia Business Tonight and Cents & Sensibilities.

Leave a comment

Golden Networking hosts the World’s Most Influential High-Frequency Trading Conference Series, High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges”, March 21 (www.High-Frequency-Trading.info).

New York City, NY, USA (March 19, 2013) — A handful of high-frequency trading firms accounted for an estimated two thirds of overall trading volume on U.S. equities markets in the last five years. One firm with such a computerized system traded over 2 billion shares in a single day in October 2008, amounting to over 10 percent of U.S. equities trading volume for the day. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this technology-dependent trading environment, and how are its risks controlled?

Carol Clark, Senior Policy Specialist in the financial markets group at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, will be joining other high-profile speakers at the most influential high-frequency trading conference in the world, Golden Networking’s High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London, March 21 with the keynote speech “Risk Controls and High-Frequency Trading”. Anyone interested or involved in high-frequency trading will be able to gain inside knowledge at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 (http://www.High-Frequency-Trading.info) “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges,” which brings insightful keynote speeches and highly regarded panels.

Ms. Clark’s work focuses on public policy issues relating to trading (high speed trading, high frequency trading and algorithmic trading), market microstructure, clearing, settlement and payments.

Prior to joining the financial markets group, Ms. Clark held a variety of positions at the Bank including national market research manager in the customer relations and support office, payments research manager in the economic research department, examiner in the capital markets unit, research coordinator in the national book-entry securities office and analyst in the loans and reserves department.

Her research has been published in the Journal of Payment Systems Law and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s Chicago Fed Letter and Economic Perspectives. Ms. Clark has a B.A. from St. Xavier College and an M.A. from the University of Chicago.

Saudi Arabia Sanitary Ware Market Projected to Reach US$ 1.42 Billion (SAR 5.3 Billion) By 2018 Says TechSci Research

Leave a comment

Real estate growth, government initiatives and high disposable income is making the future of sanitary ware industry more promising in the Kingdom.

Vancouver, Canada, March 19, 2013 — According to recently published report by TechSci Research “Sanitary Ware Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2018“, the sanitary ware market’s revenues in Saudi Arabia are expected to grow at a CAGR of over 21% during the period 2012-2018. This will drive the market value of sanitary ware industry of Saudi Arabia to reach at around USD 1.42 Billion by 2018 from USD 445 Million in 2012. The central and the western regions are the highest contributor in the sales volume of sanitary ware products in Saudi Arabia. These regions have the advantage of both the high population as well as their economic strength. Some of the important markets in these regions are Riyadh, Mecca, Medina, etc.

Saudi Arabia is one of the main hubs for sanitary ware market players in GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region. The sanitary ware market of Saudi Arabia is more promising than rest of the neighboring nations as various projects are under process in Saudi Arabia. Over 70% of the sanitary ware products demand in Saudi Arabia is being fulfilled by imports. Some of the major sanitary ware industry’s players are Saudi Ceramics, RAK Ceramics and Casa via, etc.

The measures taken by the Saudi Government have been playing an instrumental role in shaping the future of sanitary ware industry. The Saudi government has allocated huge budgets for various projects such as the construction of 742 schools, 40 colleges and universities. The Saudi government has also announced its decision to build around 5,00,000 housing units and has increased its real estate budget by a astonishing figure of USD 10.7 Billion (SAR 40 Billion). The expenditures of the Saudi government on real estate have been growing at a rate of over 13% annually to meet the increasing demand of real estate in Saudi Arabia, outlines TechSci Research report.

The rising demand for houses in Saudi Arabia has led to the considerable growth in the real estate sector. The demand for sanitary ware products from the housing sector has remained the backbone for the sanitary ware market in Saudi Arabia. The rising domestic as well as the expatriate population, high urbanization, increasing nuclear families trend, etc. have led to the higher demand of houses than the earlier times. The high disposable income of individuals in Saudi Arabia has enabled the individuals in Saudi Arabia to purchase the apartments. In Saudi Arabia, the demand for high end models of sanitary ware products is also quite significant and large numbers of individuals in Saudi Arabia are not hesitating to invest extravagantly in the high valued sanitary ware products. This is mainly due to the high purchasing power capacity of consumers in Saudi Arabia. At present, the population of Saudi Arabia is over 27 Million, due to which it has emerged as one of the most emerging markets for the real estate industry in the GCC. The demand for houses is expected to increase further, which would directly make an impact on the sales of sanitary ware products in Saudi Arabia.

“The dynamics of the sanitary ware industry in Saudi Arabia are expected to change in near future as the domestic companies like Saudi Ceramics, etc have started increasing their production capacity. This factor along with the measures taken by the Saudi government to support the domestic companies is likely to reduce the dependence of Saudi Arabia on the imported items.” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research.

The report provides detailed overview of the Saudi sanitary ware market. This report helps reader to identify the ongoing trends in the industry and anticipated growth in future depending upon changing industry dynamics in the coming years. The report will help various stakeholders to align their market centric strategies according to ongoing and expected trends in future.

– Low Latency: How to achieve Ultra-Low Latency for High-Frequency Trading? As high-frequency trading moves towards multi-asset classes running multi-legged strategies demanding even faster execution, ultra-low latency performance becomes the focus. How will architectures evolve to meet the latency challenge? How helpful overclocking CPUs and leveraging FPGA coprocessors can result? How will wireless, cloud and big data technologies play in the speed race? How technology can enable modern applications to minimize latency while managing for high throughput?

– Regulatory Impact: With High-frequency Trading in the Spotlight, how new Regulations will Change the Industry? With high-frequency trading the subject of great controversy and debate, many regulations will be bound to change. How will regulations impact the way traders are capturing alpha? Would there be restrictions that can possibly harm algorithmic trading? How the economic and political landscape might impact the pace and severity of these changes?

– Robotic Markets: As High-frequency Trading Embraces Robotic Markets Worldwide, how Participants will be Able to Find new Opportunities to Sustain Alpha Creation? Algorithms are becoming more prevalent, faster, smarter, more self-adaptive and geographically distributed and embracing cross asset classes trading and geographies. How will robotic market impact trading, and high-frequency trading in particular? What will be the benefits quants can expect from this evolution? Will there be any disadvantages? New alpha versus alpha retention?

– Emerging Markets: How will Emerging Markets from Brazil to China Affect the Scope of High-frequency Trading? With emerging markets on the rise, high frequency trading and algorithmic trading are shifting to geographies in Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America. Which markets hold the most promise? Which asset classes can be traded in high-frequency in those markets? Are there restrictions to frequency and speed in place in any of those promising lands? What is the outlook for high-frequency trading among regulators in those markets?

– The Future of HFT: How High-frequency Trading will Evolve in Ever-changing Technology and Regulatory Environments? There has been a dramatic shift in how instruments are traded in the market. With high frequency trading able to detect price discrepancies in microseconds, aided by technology, regulators have grown increasingly concerned about its impact in market structure and fairness. What is the outlook for the markets when all participants engage in the arms race of super smart algorithms? Where will institutional and retail investors find opportunities? Conversely, could we imagine a world without high-frequency trading?
