How the Federal Reserve Board works

Posted by Lisa Laser under Credits, Economics, Government, Investment, Markets, Money, News

The Federal Reserve Board has the power to manipulate the US money supply through the change of interest rates or by selling off large amounts of credit to member banks. By altering the money supply, the Federal Reserve Board can effectively thwart off recession, or a market contraction.

The Federal Reserve commonly raises and lowers the key interest rates at which it lends money to member banks, or banks that make up the Federal Reserve. Recently, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates to spur borrowing, increasing the current money supply. Raising the money supply is the most commonly used tactic to offset a market recession or two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth.

Federal Homeowner Preservation Corporation

Posted by Lisa Laser under Corporate finance, Credits, Government, Loans, Markets, Money, Mortgage, News

That’s the new buzzword on the street. Bank of America which is hurting greatly from the subprime credit crunch, has proposed an offer to Congress, asking for the creation of the Federal Homeowner Preservation Corporation.

Essentially this new corporation would use US Government funds to buy mortgages at a deep discount from Bank of America to protect people from losing their homes. The corporation would forgive debt greater than the loans value and use federal loan guarantees to lower the rates on mortgages. What this really is, is a giant corporate buyout meant to keep Bank of America from losing its shirt on bad loans.
