With forced economic change and the steady infusion of liquidity by Central Banks worldwide to keep the credit markets open and lending, financial institutions are continuing to scramble to catch their balance by buying, selling and consolidating, or just closing down. “Business as usual” is not today’s business.

Financial Meltdown of our Nation
 
The US financial crisis, reeling from overwhelming debt and exploding deficits as a result of reckless spending and excessive borrowing together with “the Obama economic game” is dramatically affecting the global economy bringing about the real possibility of National insolvency and even the threat of global financial collapse. The trickledown effect of all this has eroded lender/investor confidence which adversely affects every business, dealmaker and borrower. The Obama Administration’s massive spending on economic stimulus has not worked but he continues to spend while the US continues to face persistently high unemployment, a glut of home foreclosures, an increase in bankruptcies and commercial and other lending constraints. We are on a course of further economic instability and lack of control with no clear National fiscal policy and strategy in place for legitimate recovery.

Surviving and Succeeding in the Mounting Financial Crisis
 
The changes which confront us are unprecedented and must be dealt with head on to bring about stability. Determining the best solutions available, whether individually or collectively, is critical —in most instances practical and creative methods can be unique to individual situations to survive, succeed and move forward to make things work for stability while holding your position.

Change (and the challenge of change) provides a completely new perspective on how things can work and, while in transition, it presents opportunities to analyze tactical and strategic measures—opportunities for financing, deal making, leverage transactions, tax structured funding or other credit arrangements, for a timely positive course of action.

Mandate of Change … A Time for Thinkers
 
Effective change has a mandate of its own. The idea here is to develop creative applications that are practical, timely and that actually work in today’s economic climate—the one you are living in!

The time for thinkers has come—in this instance, thinkers who are not afraid to “adopt-adapt and invent” to secure what is now, and move forward with new ideas and confidence without hesitation over what tomorrow may bring.

At Samuel A. Longo that’s what we do: think—adopt, adapt and invent, creatively and practically. We are Global Dealmakers. We make it happen!
