James Surowiecki: What drives market volatility?
James Surowiecki Mon, 25 Aug 2008 04:00:00 -0000

James Surowiecki: Sponsoring Recklessness
James Surowiecki Mon, 21 Jul 2008 04:00:00 -0000
When do the words “not guaranteed” actually mean “guaranteed”? Whenever the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are involved. The two companies have long been required to tell investors that their securities are not guaranteed by the federal government. But in the financial markets everyone has always assumed that . . .

The music industry: Qualms with music
Thu, 02 Oct 2008 16:54:58 -0000
Cross-subsidised subscriptions offer a promising new model—if the sums add upIT IS a gift that keeps on giving—for a year, at least. Starting in Britain this month, buyers of some handsets made by Nokia will be able to download as much digital music as they like. The handsets, starting with a model costing GBP130 ($230), are bundled with a year’s free online-music subscription, called “Comes With Music” (CWM), launched on October 2nd. You can download music, and listen to it, on both the handset and your PC. Once the subscription expires at the end of the year, you can still listen to the tracks.Nokia’s new handsets are sure to appear under many Christmas trees this year. The offer of unlimited downloads will appeal to teenagers; and parents will not have to worry about their children getting caught downloading music illegally, or spending a fortune at online music-stores. But CWM and similar subscription services are also being touted as a potentially life-saving gift to the ailing music industry. That is because they cleverly reconcile the demands of teenagers, who think music should be free, with those of record companies, which want to make money. ...
Face value: The specialty generalist
Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:11:45 -0000
Hans Wijers of AkzoNobel has taken an unusual path to the top of Europe’s chemical industryClarification to this articleJUST as America’s dodgy subprime mortgages were triggering the credit crunch in August last year, Hans Wijers, the boss of AkzoNobel, a European specialty chemicals company, shook hands with John McAdam, the boss of ICI, to seal a takeover that had been rumbling for months. AkzoNobel’s two previous bids had been rebuffed, but when Mr Wijers raised his offer price to GBP8 billion ($16 billion), ICI capitulated—spelling the end for one of Britain’s most famous companies and one of the biggest names in chemicals. The combination of ICI’s strength in America and Asia with AkzoNobel’s clout in Europe transformed a stolid regional company into a powerful global competitor, and turned AkzoNobel into the world’s biggest maker of paints. Yet the architect of the merger, Mr Wijers, had no reputation as a dealmaker—indeed, he was a newcomer to senior management when he was appointed as AkzoNobel’s chief executive in 2003. ...
GE: Buffett to the rescue
Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:11:45 -0000
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s SuperWarrenSHORT, septuagenarian and bespectacled, Warren Buffett does not resemble a typical superhero. Yet twice in barely a week he has swooped to rescue two of the world’s greatest companies from tight spots. First it was Goldman Sachs, which had a near-death experience after the collapse of Lehman Brothers. And on October 1st it was GE’s turn to breathe a sigh of relief, as the “Sage of Omaha” quashed market worries about its health by investing $3 billion in the huge conglomerate. As a famously canny value investor, it is hardly surprising that Mr Buffett has an excellent understanding of his own value. As with the investment in Goldman, the terms of the investment being made in GE by his company, Berkshire Hathaway, are fantastical. As long as Hank Paulson, America’s treasury secretary, manages to steer the economy away from financial Armageddon, Mr Buffett is sure to add to his reputation and his fortune. Indeed, were he not a philanthropist, committed to giving away his billions, the tough terms he has negotiated with both firms might have prompted accusations that he is taking advantage of the desperate. His preferred stock in GE will pay a dividend of 10%, and he has the right to buy a further $3 billion at a price of $22.25, below the share price when his investment was announced. ...
