    But funding can be also provided by underwriting syndicates.

    In this case, is there be any difference between the role played by a warehouse lender and a undersriting syndicate.

    Definition of Underwriting Syndicate: Temporary group of underwriters and investment banks formed for marketing of a new bond or share (stock) issue that is too large for any single entity to handle. It is dissolved after completion of the sale of the securities. Also called underwriting group.

    Definition of Warehouse Lender: A business that loans to temporary lenders against some form of security or collateral of closed mortgage loans before selling the loans in the secondary market. This state of flux is known as being "in the warehouse," and warehouse lenders can call these loans if they lose value while in such a state.

Has anyone heard of You Play We Play? and is it a pyramid scheme?

    How can the government help an Overseas Filipino Worker not to be victimized by drug syndicates?

    Posted by admin on April 2nd, 2011 and filed under syndicates | 2 Comments »


    Filipinos can help themselves by not agreeing to carry drugs hidden in secret compartments in baggage.

    The 3 China executed yesterday were not workers. All 3 went to China on tourist visas and paid their own way. All 3 had previously made successful drug runs into China.
