A low average cost of education doesn’t always translate to less debt on graduation. For example, although SMU has the highest average cost of education of all law schools in Texas, graduates from SMU carry less debt on average than graduates at Baylor and St. Mary’s. Similarly, Texas Wesleyan has the third highest cost of [...]

University of Texas law students, on average, get the most bang for their law school buck. There are only two other schools in Texas where students make more in their first year than they spend in law school: the University of Houston and Texas Tech. At the other end of the spectrum, Baylor and Texas [...]

The credit crunch has led to an improvement in application to offer ratio's at Solution Mortgages.Although the credit crunch has had a noticeable effect on business levels, it has meant that staff have more time to devote to each case they handle and therefore ensure applications were packaged to the highest standards.

The Fibonacci (pronounced fib-eh-nah´-chee) sequence of numbers was discovered (actually rediscovered) by Leonardo Fibonacci da Pisa, a thirteenth century mathematician. The Fibonacci series of numbers are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144,…The numbers are calculated by adding the two previous numbers together. E.g. 1 + 1 = 2 1 + 2 = [...]

Plot ratio is the ratio of maximum gross floor area (GFA) to site area, so the higher a site's plot ratio, the more the GFA that can be built on it.The draft Master Plan 2008 is expected to be unveiled in late May and exhibited for a month for public feedback before being finalised and gazetted by the year-end.

I came across these numbers yesterday in an article entitled “Could U.S. bank dividend contagion spread north?” by Rob Carrick from the Globe and Mail. Rob Carrick calculated the below figures based on the stock prices at the close of January 16th, 2008 and on the estimated earnings per share for 2008.

In Don't Buy That Car! Or Anything Else! We introduced this inevitable situation so many of us get in to. We expanded on the idea in Fight That Desire To Spend Money!We ended the last post with our loan officer saying, "If only you didn't have this car payment, you would certainly qualify for a home loan to buy that house." The reason why she said this was because of your "debt-to-income" ratio.But, what are debt-to-income ratios? Today, our goal is to define this in a simple and direct manner. So, simply put, a debt-to-income ratio is the percentage of your gross monthly income (before taxes) that you spend on debt. This will include your monthly housing costs - including principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and homeowner's association fees, if any. It will also include your monthly consumer debt, including credit cards, student loans, installment debt, and....CAR PAYMENTS!This whole series has been based upon the purchase of a new car right before you buy a home. Please understa

The first thing a lender looks at when determining your ability to qualify for a mortgage is called your "debt-to-income" ratio. That is the percentage of your gross monthly income that you spend on long term debt. This includes your mortgage payment, taxes, insurance and HOA fees. I also includes any consumer debt payments such as credit cards, student loans or installment payments. Plus it includes car payments.Now you're wondering just how much that new car payment can reduce the purchase price of your new home. Let's crunch some numbers. Say you earn $5000 per month and have an average car payment of $400 per month. Calculating based off an 8% interest rate that car payment would cut your purchase power on your new home by about $55,000. That makes a considerable difference in the type of home you will be able to purchase.It does not matter if you feel you can afford both the more expensive home and the car payment. The mortgage companies approve based on their guidelines not you

The table below shows the screen resolutions of visitors to my site from June to August 2007. You can see that 1024x768 is still the most popular screen size by a good way (this is the standard resolution of 15 inch LCD monitors), followed by 1280x1024 (this is the standard resolution of 17 inch LCD monitors), followed by 1280x800 (the most common resolution for wide screen monitors). It should be noted that wide screen monitors are rapidly becoming more popular, so this table will probably change significantly within a year or so... Anyway, the point I am belatedly getting to is this... Not only do you have to take into account that some people have bigger screens than others, but also that the 'Aspect Ratios' are different. For 1280x1024, the aspect ratio is 5:4 or 1.25:1 For 1024x768, the aspect ratio is 4:3 or 1.33:1 (same as for old style TVs, and the majority of digital cameras) The majority of Digital SLR cameras (and non-digital cameras) take photos

I can’t quite get the gears rolling so I’m inventing a feature called the Monday Mind Scraping. I haven’t decided if I’m going to do it every week but we will see. Basically, it’s just a few quick links and blurbs on what money-related stuff is on my mind. Found a great mini-biography the WSJ did on Carlos Slim. He’s a super monopoly man, but I think (purely from reading the article) that it’s more the governments fault than anything that he has grown so powerful. Slim has shown a fantastic ability to execute value investing similar to Buffet…. I was throwing together a lens on P/E ratios last night and I began to wonder about them a bit. Why is it that we will pay more money for a dollar of earnings from one company than another? A dollar is still a dollar, in fact the ultimate commodity is dollars. Why have a preference of Ebay-made dollars or General Mills made dollars? The major issue I thought of comes down to growth. If your com

I have been getting a few searches for P/E ratios of the dot com bubble years and, since I have not actually written about valuations in the dot.com bubble (old news), I am sure that these searchers left my site empty handed. Not being one to disappoint, I want to take this opportunity to review [...]

I have seen a number of posts recently comparing the yields of various banks to one another in an attempt to determine the “best buy”. Although, I think that the yield is important I don’t think that the yield by itself is a useful number even for those looking exclusively for dividend income. In my opinion you also need to compare the payout ratio of the banks in order to ascertain if:1. The dividend is sustainable2. The dividend has room to grow3. The business has sufficient excess capital to growThe payout ratio is a simple ratio that investors can easily calculate.DIVIDEND PAYOUT RATIO = DIVIDENDS PER SHARE/EARNINGS PER SHAREIn tomorrows post I’ll compile both the yields, payout ratios, current PE and forward PE for the big Canadian banks and on Wednesday I’ll do the same for the big US banks.

Just how over-valued is this market? At first glance, it does not look too bad. The P/E ratio of the S&P 500 is near 18. That doesn’t seem too high considering the 80-year average is 16 and the 2000 dot.com bubble peak was well above this level. I encourage people to look beyond this misleading [...]

Okay, so the results are in from the Valentine's Mobile Phone Ratio Game. These ratios are being examined to see if our cell phones contain “hidden data” providing insight into our dating ethos. Our judge (Mystery Man Dan, who btw is single) has passed his decrees. Unfortunately a few people on my "tagged list" didn't want to play, but for those who did, I hope you can find some meaning here: key - [ratio, exes, creeps, possibilities] PSN: “Wonder John” 2.59, 0, 1, 4 With a ratio of 2.59 and zero exes, you are quite the anomaly among this group. This either means one of 2 things: A.) You are an absolute player, or B) You tend to land in that grey "friend zone" way too often. Either way, you should have more “possibilities” based on your high ratio of 2.59 to 1.
