Chesapeake says $4 natgas too low to grow output GREENWICH, Conn. (Reuters) - U.S. natural gas prices will have to move higher to spur a resurgence in drilling activity and keep output of the fuel steady, the head of Chesapeake Energy Corp said on Wednesday. The weak U.S. economy has knocked natural gas prices sharply lower in the past 14 months, and sluggish demand for fuel has prompted producers such as Chesapeake to curtail drilling for new supplies.

Thoughts For The Day: The FDIC decision to set high thresholds for private equity to buy banks will result in a decrease on what private capital will pay for busted banks. If private money can’t bid up the price, then the regular buyers of busted banks, if there are any left, will make lower bids that will cost the FDIC more money. Commercial real estate loans start coming due in large amounts. US Banks have more than $250 billion in unrealized loans on their books in commercial loans. [more...]

As if we had a brief experiment with no-holds barred Laissez-Faire Capitalism, and it didn’t work, and now it’s time to return to a more sage time of managed markets. [more...]

Junk Debt Buyers Do Things The Original Lender Never Would

Can law firms give me more protection than debt settlement companies?

The debt settlement companies are unauthorized to advise or contact the collector whenever there arises a need to do so. If you are really in trouble and the creditors are on the verge of taking you to the court or sending you summons, the debt settlement companies cannot make things easy for you as they are unauthorized to directly call the creditors and talk to them. On the other hand the law firms are legally authorized to speak to the creditors and come up with a settlement. [more...]
