ParticleMan Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 A few more .... You're just making these up out of spite, aren't you WAP's been convincing us on another thread that the economy's doing great for a decade; high employment, no interest rate shocks, great business environment. Strangely enough his graph of rates and your graph of manufacturing production jobs show a similar trend. You could probably draw another series showing reserve bank capital injection against employment trends in the capital goods sectors (over the same timespan).

There's another large broker I know of creaking as we speak, too much into non conforming were sheduled for a 100mil float this time last year now I'd put there value at less than a mil. Very good at being first with leads and having a 25-30% conversion rate, however, even if there is demand for what they have been selling there will not be product and even the product may not be able to be sold off (assuming there are folk barmy enough to sign away their lives at Micheal Bentine styel rates rates) and for companies such as this they'll not be able to alter the success of their business model quick enough, they have to let folk go. Oh and I expect Firstplus to go..no ifs no buts just stop donig what it does Edited October 10, 2007 by Converted Lurker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblacksheeple Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Lots of brokers have been shedding staff... but these companies are like 100 people strong at most so you don't get to hear about them in the mainstream media so much. Aaprt from those already mentioned above which other sub prime lenders do people see having trouble? On a seperate note, though i don't see trouble as such for them, Investec must be kicking themseleves for purchasing Kensington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a seperate note, though i don't see trouble as such for them, Investec must be kicking themseleves for purchasing Kensington I heard on the news today that Delia and Mr Delia are going to be selling their shares in NCFC to a sub prime broker that is supposed to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds. If I were her, I would hurry up in case he offers them a shares only deal in his company. I would imagine Investec are going to take a big hit on Kensington. (or Peckham Mortgages, as they should really be called). If they were really interested in a debt factory for their CDOs, they would have done better to wait, ooh about 6 weeks, and picked it up for a 10th of the price. Oh well it will hit their bottom line and put a few city boys out of work, so it is a double benefit. Incidentally I knew someone at Kensington and their ex chairman did a lot of work for homeless people with Shelter. We thought it was great that he liked to keep in touch with all his ex customers.
