- IMF warns of private equity boom risks
  Posted by SoxFirst
  The International Monetary Fund warns that the private equity boom is creating new risks. It says the enormous appetite for overly-leveraged buyouts is driving up prices and will leave acquired companies saddled with debt. It also warns that some private equity deals will fail to deliver and that could be disastrous.

Sustaintability and insurance risks

One of the many tragedies of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina three years ago was the fact that insurance companies used the event to systematically deny claims, leaving victims further in desperate straits. That shouldn’t happen following any natural disaster, and even though the immediate storm effects did not cause as much damage as predicted, there are sure to be plenty of claims for flood damages throughout the Midwest and along Gustav’s path. If you or someone you know has been denied an insurance claim related to Gustav: that would be a site you should visit.
