U.S. NEARS MILESTONE: NET FUEL EXPORTER

U.S. exports of gasoline, diesel and other oil-based fuels are soaring, putting the nation on track to be a net exporter of petroleum products in 2011 for the first time in 62 years. A combination of booming demand from emerging markets and faltering domestic activity means the U.S. is exporting more fuel than it imports, upending the historical norm. U.S. exports of gasoline, diesel and other oil-based fuels are soaring, putting the nation on track to be a net exporter of petroleum products in 2011 for the first time in 62 years. According to data released by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the U.S. sent abroad 753.4 million barrels of everything from gasoline to jet fuel in the first nine months of this year, while it imported 689.4 million barrels. That the U.S. is shipping out more fuel than it brings in is significant because the nation has for decades been a voracious energy consumer.

It took in huge quantities of not only crude oil from the Middle East but also refined fuels from Europe, Latin America and elsewhere to help run its factories and cars. As recently as 2005, the U.S. imported nearly 900 million barrels more of petroleum products than it exported. Since then the deficit has been steadily shrinking until finally disappearing last fall, and analysts say the country will not lose its “net exporter” tag anytime soon. “It looks like a trend that could stay in place for the rest of the decade,” said Dave Ernsberger, global director of oil at Platts, which tracks energy markets. “The conventional wisdom is that U.S. is this giant black hole sucking in energy from around the world. This changes that dynamic.” So long as the U.S. remains the world’s biggest net importer of crude oil, currently taking in nine million barrels per day, it isn’t likely to become energy independent anytime soon. Yet its growing presence as an overall exporter of fuels made from crude gives it greater influence in the global energy market.

Bloomberg reported that capital spending at U.S. companies is at the highest level since 2008 as upgrades to plants, property and equipment show some executives embracing the likelihood that the economy will avert recession. Expenditures rose 24% to $43.3 billion in the third quarter for 140 non-financial companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 that had released such data as of November 4th, Bloomberg said. Year-to-date investments of $149 billion are the highest since 2008, the analysis shows. Bloomberg notes that corporate investment in equipment and software climbed at a 17.4% annual pace in the third quarter.

PNC CHRISTMAS PRICE INDEX ON TRACK WITH ECONOMIC INDICATORS

A sluggish economy coupled with weak demand has kept the 2011 PNC Christmas Price Index (PNC CPI) to a moderate gain of 3.5% in the whimsical economic analysis by PNC Wealth Management based on the gifts in the holiday classic, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” According to the 28th annual survey, the price tag for the PNC CPI is $24,263.18 in 2011, $823.80 more than last year and less than half the increase seen in 2010. Still, that comes on the heels of a more modest 1.8% increase two years ago at the end of the recession. As part of its annual tradition, PNC Wealth Management also tabulates the “True Cost of Christmas,” which is the total cost of items gifted by a True Love who repeats all of the song’s verses. This holiday season is the most expensive year ever: very generous True Loves have to fork over $101,119.84 for all 364 gifts, a 4.4% increase compared to last year. “As the economy continues to struggle, we are seeing weakness in some areas of demand within the Index,” said James Dunigan, managing executive of investments for PNC Wealth Management. “That is illustrated in the costs of the Five Gold Rings. While gold commodity prices are at or near record highs, the demand for retail gold is waning, and thus our Five Gold Rings actually dropped by 0.8% this year.” Although the economic trends affect both indexes, this year the PNC CPI’s increase is exceptionally close to the government’s Consumer Price Index, which grew 3.9% over the last 12 months.

SELF-EMPLOYED BUYERS: The Best Way To Get A Mortgage!

Self-employed borrowers present one of the most challenging areas of mortgage underwriting. Qualifying self-employed people often requires time, energy, and patience. A fair and honest qualification requires a special set of skills.

Most mortgage companies underwrite their loans based on guidelines established by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), or the Veterans Administration (VA). These organizations share similar underwriting guidelines for self-employed borrowers. Additionally, some lending institutions have non-standard sources to draw upon for the purpose of making loans available to those who do not fit into specific guidelines.

Generally, there is a standard set of guidelines that pertain to employment and income. They include:

  1. Two or more years of self-employment.
  2. Owning 25 percent or more in a business.
  3. A two-year minimum average income. This is done to even out fluctuations common to self-employed borrowers.
  4. A positive overall economic outlook in the area for the particular business you own.
  5. No significant decline in income over the period analyzed.

Self-employed borrowers are generally evaluated along similar guidelines that salaried borrowers are by determining if the borrower has sufficient income to support the mortgage payment and a willingness to repay all debt provided on a credit report. However, the methods used in the analysis of the self-employed borrower’s income are different.

However, the methods used in the analysis of the self-employed borrower’s income are different.

The growth, viability, and stability of the business field is also taken into account in determining the ability of the borrower to meet ongoing obligations. The length of self-employment time and overall experience in the field must also be considered. Because of the subjective nature of underwriting these loans, it is important for the borrower and the lender to put together a narrative along with documentation to support the income claim needed for the transaction.

There are several new loan programs available today for the self-employed. Lenders do their best to qualify people with the lowest rates and lowest down payments. They also attempt to complete the transaction with the fewest verification documents. Most loan programs have the same requirements for different types of self-employment. Programs are available for first-time buyers, move-up buyers, or investors regardless of their employment. However, some loan programs will be more strict for self-employed individuals.

If a borrower can’t qualify because tax write-offs decrease his new income too much, a problem common among self-employed borrowers, lenders will then look to see if the borrower has enough independent income to pay the mortgage and other debt obligations. They will carefully inspect tax returns and check to see any possible way to get a self-employed businessman into a new home. Generally, two years of tax return history will be analyzed to account for fluctuations and track income patterns. Simple common sense is often a prevailing factor when reviewing these documents.

As for newly self-employed applicants, they represent a special situation. Verifying previous employment history to determine a track record of skills, length of employment and work environment can be taken into account. Previous income helps establish the financial history, as well as indicates whether the move to self-employment represents a logical process or a complete departure from an established profession. There are some things to keep in mind. If the borrower recently had a bad year but had previous successful years, qualification is still possible. One bad year may be the result of a divorce, death, or medical illness. Provided the business had been previously successful, don’t assume that you can’t be qualified.

As a self-employed borrower, you must be willing to spend the time to work with an agent and a mortgage consultant specific to your situation. Careful scrutiny of tax returns will be necessary and meetings will be done person-to-person – not over the phone. The process may be a little more involved than a typical home loan, but the extra work will ultimately result in the most important part of the purchase – getting you into a new home.

Choose your agent wisely. Working with a full-time professional real estate agent is a must. Ask questions of your agent. Find out how knowledgeable he or she is about houses currently for sale in your price range and also of houses that have recently sold. Can your agent recommend a good lender that has the reputation of excellent customer service and low rates? Does your agent ask questions of you to have a full understanding of what you are looking for to help you get the most home for the money?

Screening a new home insurance company

When State Farm threatened to pull out of Florida’s home insurance market a year ago, David Scott Banghart decided it was time to start looking for another provider.

But it’s no easy task in Florida. Thanks to a series of recent hurricanes and tropical storms, many large property insurance companies have scaled back on writing policies in the Sunshine State and other Southern and Eastern coastal communities.

In recent years, a number of small companies have sprung up to help fill this void. The challenge for homeowners is trying to find information about these insurers.

Banghart, a social worker from Lutz, Fla., did his homework. He checked a Web site operated by the State of Florida that compares insurance companies’ rates, contacted local insurance agents, checked companies’ financial ratings online and did a Google search for company news.

“It’s hard to find a long-term track record in a market that just opened up” to new insurers, he says.

The experts say Banghart made the right moves. Consumers need “some assurance that a company is financially sound and will be there when you need them,” says Julie Pulliam, spokeswoman for the Washington, D.C.-based American Insurance Association.

The following tips can help you learn about new insurance companies, experts say:

Make sure the company is licensed

Consumers who vet home insurance companiesshould contact their state insurance department (or check its Web site) to make sure the companies are licensed in the state.

To be licensed, companies must prove they have a certain amount of assets on hand to cover claims, says Elissa Boos, a personal lines team leader with McGrath Insurance Group in Sturbridge, Mass.

Licensing also ensures that if a firm eventually goes belly up, the state guaranty fund will pay the company’s claims. The fund gets its money from policy holders in a state who are assessed a fee, regardless of the insurance company they use.

Peruse the complaint record

In most states, you can check online to uncover the number of complaints filed against a company, Boos says.

However, just checking raw numbers can be deceptive. It’s almost inevitable that a large carrier will have more complaints than a small firm that has only been in existence for a short time.

Typical complaints about companies include slow payment of claims or poor customer service, Boos says.

There’s also a Web site called Badfaithinsurance.org that invites consumers to submit their complaints or praise, says Marjorie Young, vice president of E.G. Bowman Insurance Co., a New York City insurance brokerage.

The site lists a “Hall of Fame” and “Hall of Shame.”

Check financial strength

A.M. Best and Demotech are just two of the companies that make an assessment of a home insurance company’s financial strength. Bigger, older firms are more likely to be covered by A.M. Best, while Demotech is more likely to include smaller, newer firms.

Young says she would be leery of unrated companies, because there is no way to gauge their practices when it comes to paying claims.

One stumbling block when dealing with small, new firms, is that they might not have been in existence long enough to be rated.

Use an independent insurance agent

An independent agent can help you wend through the maze of insurance information.

“Your insurance agent should be really able to guide you,” Boos says.

Banghart used this approach, figuring an independent agent “might have had some practical experience with these companies.”

He also wanted a locally based agent familiar with the peculiarities of his area, such as susceptibility to sinkholes.

A good independent agent has an idea of how long a company has been in business, its financial strength and whether it has locations in other states. An agent also should be there to aid customers who have claims, Boos says.

“They’re there to advocate for you,” she says.

Do more digging

The Internet is a great resource for news articles written about a home insurance company, as well as other background information, Pulliam says.

Also, don’t hesitate to ask the company itself for information. Companies that want your business will provide information on their financial ratings, she says.

The premium alone should not be the deciding factor, Young says.

“If your premium is too low, I would be extra leery of it,” she says. “There might not be enough set aside for claims.”

Once a company looks promising, there are still questions to ask. John Rushe, a partner in Werle & Rushe Insurance Agency, in Erie, Pa., says many insurers will offer three tiers of insurance — basic, broad and special form — with varying levels of coverage.

A basic policy might not cover damage due to the crushing weight of ice and snow, while a broad policy might. The cost difference may be only a few dollars per year.

Consumers also should ask whether the company uses in-house or independent adjusters if a catastrophe strikes, Rushe says. There’s nothing wrong with independent adjusters, but if Pennsylvania is walloped by a bad snowstorm, their services will be in demand from numerous companies.

WHEN CONSIDERING A NEW HOME, SPEAK WITH YOUR INSURANCE AGENT TO MAKE SURE IT IS INSURABLE.  MOST OF THE TIME, A HOME INSPECTOR WILL BE ABLE TO SPOT COMMON PROBLEMS, SUCH AS OUTDATED ELECTRICAL WIRING OR PROBLEMS IN THE FOUNDATION.  I HAVE A LIST OF PROFESSIONAL I WORK WITH. CALL ME FOR A REFERRAL.

How to avoid common breakfast mistakes

Many people start their day with diet blunders. Here’s how to correct them, with help from Dr. Wayne Andersen, an obesity specialist in Maryland and medical director for Take Shape for Life, a weight loss program:

Skipping breakfast … Dieters often use this strategy, but numerous studies have found breakfast eaters are more likely to maintain a healthy weight and make better food choices throughout the day. Even an unhealthy breakfast is almost always better than no breakfast at all.

… or eating it too late. Don’t wait longer than an hour. “Thirty minutes is ideal,” Andersen says.

Not eating enough protein. You won’t stay full long on carbohydrate-rich breakfasts such as sugary cereals or pastries. Choose cereals made from rice, oats, wheat, barley or rye; eggs and low-fat dairy such as yogurt and milk also are good protein sources.

Skimping on fiber. Fiber is filling enough to lower your overall caloric intake without leaving you feeling deprived. Choose whole-grain breads and cereals and add fruits and vegetables and a handful of nuts and seeds to staples such as cereal and eggs.

Taking in too many — or too few — calories. Most people should aim for roughly 300 to 400 calories per morning meal.

Not reading food labels. Compare total calories, protein, fiber, sugar and fat content, and pay attention to serving sizes. Remember that some “healthy” foods such as granola and cereal bars can be very high in sugar and fat. If you’re eating at a restaurant, check for nutrition facts via online menus.

Drinking too many calories. Fruit juices and energy drinks, along with many flavored coffee creamers, often are packed with sugar. Water and unsweetened green tea are always good choices.
