AGENDA

I am seeking to get my ideas accepted by a team of experts of world status, and a sponsor or a government commission to pay them to examine and discuss them and how they can be applied to assist the world’s economies. Can you assist me?

The expected outcome is an 80% or more reduction of volatility and risk in investments, savings, and lending, making financial institutions less vulnerable and reduced volatility / distortions in currencies, altogether and at each step, making the business cycle significantly easier to manage.

When a distortion forms and is allowed to persist, the longer it persists the more damage gets done. 

The world has allowed currencies and interest rates to be distorted for a very long time and we are all paying a heavy price for that. It enabled European nations and the USA to over-extend borrowing and to inflate asset prices. Housing Financiers have lent more and more for less and less as interest rates reduced, producing property price inflation that is still undermining the economies and the banks, despite the obvious fact that interest rates must revert to mean values and this will raise the cost of the payments by over 40% and maybe 50% if interest rates rise above the mean value. Their risk management model is outdated and wrong. I can replace it. The American Government has tried to stimulate that economy, but they did it at a time when asset values were inflated. That is not a Keynesian stimulus. That is not the right circumstances in which to do that. I offered alternative ways to support asset prices of both property and of government bond values that were strongly endorsed (see my testimonials). 

The Federal Reserve and other governments have sustained the inflated assets and distorted interest rates with QE money printing, the outcome of which will not be a guaranteed economic recovery which can only come when asset values are underpinned by real demand. Their Federal Reserve Policy Committee is now rightly worried about the withdrawal symptoms when this goes into reverse. (Bloomberg). The Europeans tried austerity against my published advice, not apparently understanding that for every $1 cut from spending GDP falls by $1.50 as recently disclosed by a paper just issued by the IMF.

WHY THE COMMITTEE IS NEEDED

When you make proposals that will change the unsafe foundations of an economy and you change the policy interventions upon which our economies are built and managed, you need to get the ideas accepted at the highest level because no one person will endorse them on his/her own. 

YOU NEED A GOVERNMENT COMMISSION OF ENQUIRY

I have plenty of experts that have agreed with everything that I have shown to them, but they need others to come out in support. As with any economic policy initiative you can only get an endorsement from a team of people comprising all of the relevant disciplines; and they have to be the best experts available.

I did that once, and I got the endorsements but because they all lived in Zimbabwe no one in the rest of the world wanted to know. The team was chaired by the senior partner of one of the world’s top consultant accountants. He drew in other top people from economists to bankers and actuaries. From that team I got a testimonial from John Robertson, the country’s leading consultant economist, which I include in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 

Actually Zimbabweans of that generation are well known in Africa to be the powerhouse in Africa because their education was the best.

One of my current supporters from there, Graham Hollick, led the building society movement through the hyper-inflation. That was no mean feat. And he distrusted the way that mortgages were being monetized saying it was not properly regulated. He refused to participate. How right he was proved. These guys know their stuff.

And in the end, when not one of them could fault my work, they did agree that the ideas should be tested and urged me to publish. I work constantly at publishing on my Blogs and at LinkedIn but to write the book is something I have yet to achieve. 

I have every reason to believe in my ideas which are basically all ways to remove distortions to asset values, to currencies, and to the cost-to-income of debt servicing. I have already had them checked out by top bankers and actuaries and some economists as noted on the list of people needed for the new committee below. I have included myself as the asset allocation manager and the financial planner / adviser.

QUITE FAMOUS

I used to be quite famous in the UK as you would see if you could access my Dropbox. If I have your email address I can invite you to see it. I will post some of that on a page of this Blog shortly. My investment portfolio out-performed all of its city equivalents and stayed pretty much clear of market downturns that lasted beyond the calendar year as the audited trail shows.

I often had insights that led the field as I would find out when my ideas popped up in the media regulatory after giving them to a city stockbroker in discussions on the phone. I wrote a series of papers in the 1970s in the Building Societies Gazette as chairman of my Housing from Income Committee. These included some radical ideas, some of which were adopted. My innovation in investment management was featured in a three page article by Money Management Magazine in March 1976, and that helped to create what is known as the Broker Bond Industry in the UK. By the end of the 1980s I was on a panel of Unit Trust Advisers on BBC Ceefax. In the 1990s I created the leading brand of Unit Trusts for Zimbabwe.

It seems to me that short of getting my book completed and published, it may be better to form a new team comprising the world’s best experts rather than a nation’s best experts. We can discuss these things on the internet by email and texting with Skype or by other means.

Can you introduce me to any suitable person of high standing in the world in one or more of the following categories to be a part of this government commission as soon as we get a sponsor?

Someone in policy-making at government or treasury level or their official advisers maybe.

Housing Finance *

Commercial Banking

General economics *

* See the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS attached showing that I already have people in these categories who have approved my work, but most are retired and are not world famous, or have too little time, so there is a need to replace most of them with better known people that are paid and that can influence governments or are appointed by governments and their policy makers.
