Notable Bankruptcies Of 2009: Q2

Thu, 02 Jul 2009 16:29:00 GMT

In January I predicted (see Notable Bankruptcies of 2009: Q1) that “major” bankruptcies in 2009 would challenge the 383 mark set in 2001 (the high-water mark after the dotcom bubble). I even suggested that it was possible that we could exceed 400 “major” bankruptcies in 2009. According to Bankruptcydata.com, there have been 156 “major” filings thus far in 2009.

I even suggested that it was possible that we could exceed 400 “major” bankruptcies in 2009. According to Bankruptcydata.com, there have been 90 “major” filings thus far in 2009. Assuming that bankruptcies are equally distributed throughout the year, this puts us on pace for 360 bankruptcies. I fully expect the filing pace to quicken as the year goes on, and as the economy continues to deteriorate. Below you can find an updated list of what I see as the “noteworthy” bankruptcies of 2009, as reported by [More...]

BPO Maturity Not Yet Priced In

Fri, 21 Dec 2007 15:56:32 GMT

It has been awhile since we addressed publicly traded companies in India, but we are fortunate enough to be joined once again by senior analyst Abdul Saleh for his viewpoint on equities he covers in India. Part of your Indian coverage deals with business process outsourcing, or BPOs. Can you start by defining this term for us? Sure. BPO, as you correctly pointed out, is known as business process outsourcing. BPOs technically started with the IT services sector as a whole. With the Internet boom, there was demand for more and more demand for back-office operations, particularly in the IT sector, and that's where the BPOs came in. Historically speaking, as you've probably noticed, back-office operations and outsourcing of back-office services is not a very uncommon thing. We see greater companies and smaller operations have their payroll processing o[More...]
