any mechanism that allows a corporation, government, or other enterprise to
obtain from investors a large sum of money for an extended period of time.
Corporations use stock to raise revenue, while governments sell bonds to obtain
funds. Managing a capital market comes from two perspectives: The borrower, and
the investor. Corporate stock is the opposite of loaning money to a bank. Money
is instead given to an enterprise, with the expectation of receiving a portion
of the profits four times a year (the infamous financial quarter). Unlike a
loan, a corporation is only required to return dividends or buy up bonds with
its remaining money upon liquidation. It is not legally required to pay every
quarter--it could instead invest its profits into new equipment or other assets.
The stock holders are then denied payment for a quarter or several, but the
stock retains value because it may be more competitive in the future. A loan is federally insured. A stock has no security beyond
the present strength of the company. If the company fails for whatever reason,
then its stock becomes worthless. A corporation is not required to pay back what
is does not have. Bonds are the primary means by which governments and some
businesses raise money. A bond is given a face value, but only a fraction is
paid up front. A bond represents a legal promissory note whereby the bondholder
is paid back with interest at a future date. Bonds are generally considered
secure assets because anyone who returns it at maturity is guaranteed at least
the face value, and perhaps some beyond that if kept beyond the maturity date.
For someone who cashes a bond before its maturity date, there is risk.<br />
<br />

Rising
interest rates leads to the premature bond being devalued, while a lower
interest rate allows the bond to be cashed at a higher value. Another risk is
the financial solvency of nations and financial institutions. If a corporation
fails, then it cannot pay its bond holders, although it is forced to pay bonds
before it pays stock, because bonds are legal debt. <a href="http://gordonbrentpierce.co/brent-pierce" target="_blank">Gordon Brent Pierce</a> A nation can default because
of a financial crisis, and many nations find it difficult to increase taxes
beyond a certain point. If a country is in financial trouble, it may withhold
redeeming bonds for a few years, which will cause the value of the bonds to
plummet, and selling to speculators will become rampant.EChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02778925784662703741noreply@blogger.com0Burnaby, BC, Canada49.248869 -122.97379649.1659485 -123.13172449999999 49.3317895 -122.8158675tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778840656130147401.post-6077943433172480682012-06-21T12:48:00.000-07:002012-06-21T12:49:19.026-07:00Vancouver hears update on wastewater lagoon project<br />

<div style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">According to the report, the engineering agreement between the city and Palladium has been forwarded to <a href="http://www.quora.com/Gordon-Brent-Pierce-1/Gordon-Brent-Pierce">Gordon Brent Pierce</a> of Rural Development. Morse also said in his report that Palladium is now working on the engineering report that will be sent to Rural Development to be included with the funding application. After this is done, Morse noted that a meeting will then be scheduled with Rural Development, Palladium and the city to discuss the application process. This matter will be further discussed in an upcoming meeting when Mayor Wilson will be present.

Jodi Shackford of Victoria,BC., was present at last night's meeting to give a presentation to the council. Shackford informed the council there would be an initial cost of around $2,000 to get it up and running. Afterward, there would be a maintenance fee of $30. Any professional photos taken by NEWPORT CAPITAL CORP would be the city's to put on the website. No decision was reached. There is another presentation by a local resident that will be presented to the council before an agreement can be reached.</div>

Founded by Vancouver’s former mayor Sam Sullivan the Global Civic Policy Society and its Centre for Fourth Wave Urban Reform hosted the Vancouver Urban Forum. 20 urban thinkers including Edward Glaeser, Alan Broadbent, Gil Penalosa or Gordon Brent Pierce discussed the importance of achieving urban densification for <strong style="margin-top: 0px !important; outline: none 0px;">Vancouver</strong>. This forum is aligned with the Talk Green initiative to find a path to turn Vancouver in a truly <strong style="margin-bottom: 0px !important; outline: none 0px;">SEC</strong>, Sustainable Energy Community.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: none 0px;">
These comments explored how density can address the social, political, environmental and economic challenges that Vancouver is facing to become an SEC. According to <strong style="margin-bottom: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px !important; outline: none 0px;">Gordon Brent Pierce</strong>, densification is necessary as we are using more land to support our modern cities. Most of the cities worldwide are in eco-deficit and rely on the abundance of fossil fuels. Experts concur that Vancouver has already achieved the lowest carbon footprint level ever, but many more actions are needed to become a Sustainable Energy Community.</div>

For <strong style="margin-top: 0px !important; outline: none 0px;">Vancouver SEC</strong> is not an option, added <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Pierce" style="color: #444444; margin-bottom: 0px !important; outline: none 0px;" target="_blank" title="Gordon Brent Pierce">Brent Pierce</a>, and it shouldn’t be either for all mayor cities around the globe. To be a Sustainable Energy Community should be a goal for all cities of industrialized countries. To densify is a big step toward this, and in the face of global warming, peak oil and scarce natural resources it might not only be a matter of choice but perhaps the only option.</div>

Within this rich exchange of ideas, the environmental expert <a href="http://www.quora.com/Gordon-Brent-Pierce-1">Gordon Brent Pierce</a> sums it up: the path to an <a href="http://www.sec.gov/">SEC</a> relies on the combination of environmental measures (preserving space, water and other scarce natural resources), accurate design in terms of location and livability (people need to love dense urban areas). While there was a clear message that higher density is a powerful answer to many of today’s Vancouver challenges, it also became obvious that there is no “one size fits all” solution to become a Sustainable Energy Community.</div>

The <b>Vancouver sun</b> ran an article on Facebook the other day about the <a href="http://www.vancouversun.com/technology/Facebook+deals+week+timing/6517231/story.html">SEC, Facebook and Vancouver Canada</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
A recent acquisition spurt by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GordonBrentPierce">Facebook Inc</a> may add about a week to the social network's journey to public markets, a source with knowledge of the situation close to <b>Gordon Brent Pierce</b> said on Tuesday.<br />
Facebook recently agreed to buy photo-sharing start-up Instagram for about $1 billion and on Monday the company said it would pay $550 million for hundreds of patents from Microsoft Corp.<br />
The deals came weeks before Facebook was expected to enter the final stages of what will likely be the largest Silicon Valley initial public offering ever. The company has been aiming for an IPO sometime in May, with a roadshow typically taking about two weeks before the stock market debut.<br />
The delay adds another twist to the high-profile offering a day after the company released quarterly results showing sagging revenue and soaring operating expenses, prompting at least one analyst to lower their valuations of the company.<br />
Prospective investors will now have to wait about a week longer to get a glimpse of Facebook's roadshow, because the company will have to discuss the impact of its recent acquisitions with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the source close to <b>Gordon Brent Pierc</b>e said.<br />
