You know that feeling when you unwrap a Christmas present and discover it's something you didn't really want or need, that's how I felt when I saw the new Abercrombie & Fitch male model billboard on Sunset Boulevard, which I can only assume is their new Christmas campaign.

One of my favourite brands of clothing, Abercrombie & Fitch, are a new addition to the list of international online stores who ship to Australia.

Fitch said the outlook revision reflects its view that completion of the South Sumatera - West Java (SSWJ) pipeline project could result in higher gas distribution volumes, leading to improved revenue and leverage ratios. The company's ratings are supported by its dominant position in the gas distribution and transmission businesses in Indonesia, Fitch added.Indonesia News Blog:

The WSJ is out with an article about how much exposure life insurers have to subprime assets as estimated by Fitch. The Prince is just smiling as the contagion from the subprime crisis just continues to be felt in new and unanticipated areas and ways.
Excerpt from the WSJ:
Fitch Ratings said U.S. life insurers have an estimated $7 billion to $8 billion in unrealized losses on subprime and Alt-A investments.
The credit rater said that amount totals 13% of exposure and 3% of total industry capital. Fitch expects the industry to have recorded losses of $2 billion to $3 billion in the fourth quarter.
Life insurers have been among the many investors burned by investing in securities backed by subprime or Alt-A mortgages. As delinquencies on those loans have surged, the securities’ p

Noi italiani siamo sfortunati a non avere un negozio di Abercrombie and Fitch. Per fortuna, in quanto europei (servirà pure a qualcosa questa Unione Europea), ha da poco aperto a Londra il primo store del vecchio continente.
Per dare l’idea di che cosa sia, provate ad aprire un catologo di A&F (che vende vestiti, per chi ancora non lo sapesse). All’interno troverete solo ragazze e ragazzi nudi. Che è un po’ quello che ti capita di vedere entrando nello store della Fifth Avenue, quando appena varcata la soglia dopo aver atteso pazientemente in coda, ti trovi davanti a una modella (bardata da testa a piedi come se fossimo al Polo Nord) e ad un modello rigorosamente a petto nudo. [Un giorno sarebbe bello parlare anche della discriminazione messa in atto nei negozi ai danni del genere maschile].
Tra l’altro, una volta entrati, è difficile distinguere tra modelli di professione e commessi. Anzi, non c’è proprio differenza. Se si vuole dare un colpo defi
Honolulu's credit strength rests in the sound fundamentals of its tourism-based economy, good financial operations and reserves, low debt burden, and strong fiscal management. The island's tourism base has adapted to a shift to more domestic-based visitors, while the area's role as the commercial center and state capital and a sizable military presence add stability. Tourism on the island is highly developed and has strong underpinnings, providing continual demand and industry investment. Recent very strong tax-base growth has eased financial operations and enabled reserves to increase. The low debt burden reflects the state's sizable role in financing education facilities. Credit concerns reflect rising labor costs including pensions and retiree health care and vulnerability to decline in the housing market given the recent run-up in residential prices and the declines the county experienced earlier this decade.
For a main stream fashion line they use hot models, and I have found out why, they use people that work in their stores rather than going through fashion agencies.

From The StarNEW YORK: Fitch Ratings has reviewed the exposures of most of its rated Asia Pacific banks to US subprime-backed structured securities and found that direct exposures are low, generally amounting to just a few percent of the investing bank's equity capital. "Losses on such investments will put a dent in annual earnings but do not pose a systemic risk as they are not a serious threat to the soundness of the banks we have surveyed," commented David Marshall, managing director and Head of Fitch's Financial Institutions Group in AsiaPacific.Banks in Japan and Australia also sponsor and provide liquidity facilities to conduits but in Fitch's view, the key issue here is the need for them to provide liquidity, rather than adding materially to their subprime exposures," he added. Fitch expects the banks to be able to meet these commitments given the modest size of the conduits relative to the banks' own balance sheets. Fitch notes that subprime exposures are threatened by both

Indonesia's foreign-exchange reserves of $45.7 billion, the lowest among Southeast Asian nations after the Philippines, is a ``worry'' because it leaves the economy vulnerable to capital flight, Fitch Ratings said. Fitch, which on Jan. 29, raised Indonesia's debt rating outlook to ``positive,'' is waiting for an increase in foreign direct investment levels and improvement in the capital account before it increases the country's rating, said James McCormack, head of Fitch's Asian sovereign ratings. Turkey, which shares Indonesia's BB- rating, a junk ranking, had $59.5 billion of reserves at the end of last month. Neighboring Thailand, which is rated BBB+, the third-lowest investment grade rating, had $67.7 billion in reserves. The Philippines has $19.89 billion of reserves.
By Arijit Ghosh Jan. 29 (Bloomberg) -- Indonesia's debt rating outlook was raised to ``positive'' from ``stable'' by Fitch Ratings, citing the government's pledge to cut corruption and bureaucratic delays. Fitch affirmed it long-term foreign currency debt rating of BB- rating, its third highest non-investment grade rating, for Southeast Asia's largest economy. The ``positive'' outlook means that the rating company is more inclined to raise its ratings.

Fitch Ratings released a report yesterday warning that GM and Ford are facing a severe cash drain in '08. Fitch rated both GM and Ford at "B" levels, a non-investment grade. They blame the usual suspects for the poor outlook: sagging US sales, high fuel costs and rising manufacturing costs-- all while Ford and GM seek to restructure. Fitch says the negative outlook on the two companies will persist until either the US economy improves or the firms prove to investors that their cash flow position has improved significantly (Fitch would not comment on a scenario involving Hell freezing over). Of the two, Fitch is more bullish on Ford. "In light of Ford's progress on its restructuring program and its product profile, it may achieve (positive cash flow) before the
