Meanwhile, many Indonesians are afraid that the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis will happen again if the U.S. economy continues to deteriorate. Indonesia was badly hit during the 1997 economic crisis. Many people can still remember the huge negative impact of the regional recession a decade ago.

Healing the personal financial crisis in America

With over one million Americans in personal bankruptcy, and nearly two million people losing their homes to foreclosure, we have entered into perhaps the most difficult financial time since the great depression in the 1930’s. The personal financial crisis affecting the lives of millions is tragic and will undoubtedly have a ripple effect that will take years to unfold. In my over twenty years as a financial advisor and now, as a Money Coach, I have repeatedly witnessed the consequences that our collective lack of financial education and unconscious money patterns have on our ability to make informed financial decisions. Although we have evolved socially and technologically, we remain highly underdeveloped when it comes to money, which is proving to be hazardous to our personal and national health.

Scotiabank drops option to buy U.S. bank assets

There's little chance Bank of Nova Scotia will take the plunge and buy a U.S. bank, its chief executive officer says. "Especially with what's developed over the last several weeks, it's very unlikely we would have any interest," CEO Richard Waugh said in an interview yesterday. When the value of U.S. financial institutions began to plummet, Scotiabank was one of the first to go shopping. It took a good look at Cleveland-based lender National City Corp. in the spring. But the U.S. government's recent decision to inject capital into American banks has nearly knocked Canadians out of the running in the race for U.S. regional assets, Mr. Waugh said. He acknowledges the cheap prices of U.S. banks did make the idea of an acquisition "intriguing." But after mid-September "when the American banks were given substantial amounts of equity from the

TOPWRAP 1-U.S. firms up plan to buy into banks to stem crisis

WASHINGTON, Oct 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. government pushed on Saturday to finish a plan to buy direct stakes in American banks as finance ministers from around the world struggled to find ways to stop the deepening financial crisis and shore up markets. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said the U.S. government would buy shares of financial institutions if necessary to halt market turmoil that has wiped out trillions of dollars of wealth and threatens to throw the global economy into major recession. 'We're going to do it as we can do it in a proper way that will be effective. Trust me, we're not wasting time, we're working around the clock,' Paulson said late on Friday after a meeting of finance ministers from the Group of Seven rich countries in Washington.

[Editors Weblog] Financial crisis: A media failure?

The media stands accused of failing to foresee the global financial crisis, of a lack of understanding of the issues, and even of having a hand in the problems we now face. The Editors Weblog has been following the debate, beginning with an interview with the Managing Editor of the Financial Times, Daniel Bogler, who highlighted the problem of the media "fanning the flames" of the crisis. Is the media responsible, or are these accusations merely a knee-jerk reaction?

Space and the financial crisis

For the last several weeks the news has been dominated by the ongoing financial crisis that has roiled markets around the world. The failure of several major financial institutions and the bailout of others—to the tune of at least $750 billion in the United States alone—have caused many to worry about the fundamentals of the economy. Some have gone so far as to call this the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression three-quarters of a century ago, or even “the end of American capitalism�.

Financial Services Companies Settling Patent Infringement Suit with DataTreasury

DataTreasury's ongoing patent infringement lawsuit against more than 50 financial services companies narrowed last week when Compass Bancshares Inc. and City National Corp. agreed to settle and license DataTreasury's patented technology for electronic transfers and check imaging. They are among the first few to come to a settlement agreement, but DataTreasury's fight is far from over, says Vincent J. Roccia, a patent attorney and partner at Woodcock Washburn LLP (Philadelphia) and co-leader of the firm's Financial Services practice group. "DataTreasury is building momentum by obtaining as many license agreements as possible with the allegedly infringing financial companies. Since Congress did not come in to save the day for the financial institutions as they had hoped with the Senate's Patent Reform Act provision, remaining defendants sho
