Aging in France
LEMONDE.FR me. I will show to my father and my sisters. In my case it just barely lost to retirement, like many artists from elsewhere (and as for my other sister breeder / farmer). I calculated that we would work until the age of 95 receive a minimum pension or less decent. And that if we change course work. I dare say anything to Sophie because I see the difficulties that my father has to find evidence of its work abroad. What a glorious future! Old age for us thirtysomethings, it may depend on the kindness of those around us. A friend told me that a friend (artist and Director an art center in Italy) has bought a house with garden and talks to host the artist retired to his home that we can take care of each other. I think for having met him, he did quite capable. In any case, generosity, it will be necessary to compensate for the absurd decisions of the state.
The other reason is that I spent the summer in bed due to a sort of remake of Flying Leap
Yves Klein, campaign release, trimmer and without cheating. I have a week to get social security and mutual assistance at home, despite the doctor's prescription stating I was unable to get around. I had to call them every day on the phone and harass them to get a result. The most absurd was when they started to ask for a list of documents that I could not provide them because I could not move me to the office (and even less to the post office to send them). So I asked one thing, how an elderly person in the same situation as I have done? Without family and friends, I die of hunger in my apartment. Social assistance, which increased 1 week after my call, could only have seen my death and my cat. People Seniors do not always have close family or friends still living. When I talked to my doctor she told me that every day older people die at home because the home help did not arrive in time because of the complexity of procedures.

Brother removes the NPC document
C oup of thunder on the Brussels Stock Exchange on Thursday night after closing. A statement from the Banking, Finance and Insurance Commission (CBFA) has announced a bid on Compagnie Nationale à Portefeuille (CNP), launched by a common structure to Albert Frere and BNP Paribas. Fingin is in effect a holding company owned 100% by Erbe, which is itself a company jointly owned by Frère-Bourgeois (53%) and BNP Paribas (47%). Erbe holds 46.5% of the NPC, making it the largest shareholder of the holding company. (See chart )
The offer covers all of the shares, be a maximum of 30,831,083 shares , at a price of 48.64 euros. action on the stock closed yesterday at 40.31 euros in Brussels. The fixed price represents a premium of more than 20% over the share price but still below the intrinsic value of the NPC estimated at 51.90 euros.
The offer is subject to one condition: that Fingin harvest at least 90% stake in the company.
operation proceeds by Fingin, 100% subsidiary of ERBE structure held jointly by the Frère-Bourgeois and BNP Paribas, which owns 47.37% of the NOC. So much for the practical aspects of the operation. The rationale is obviously more complicated to move forward.
markets recently rustled the rumor of a reorganization within the galaxy Brother, particularly complex and multistage.
In recent months, various floors of the structure, essentially Frere-Bourgeois, had conducted repurchases of shares of the NPC. During 2010, the umbrella organization for had acquired 10 million shares of NOC exceeding the 20% stake directly held. But this share repurchase program was arrested on 1 February. The management had then declared "gray period". Free translation of an analyst: one could accuse the NPC and therefore its shareholders to support the ongoing operation so that they know is preparing ...
Thursday morning, the NPC convened an extraordinary general meeting to change the date of its ordinary GA and wear from late April to June ... either simultaneously or nearly that of Frere-Bourgeois.
For Tom Simont, an analyst at KBC Securities, a possible trigger might be the will of BNP Paribas out of the structure, ending a relationship over 40 years. partners are bound by a shareholders until 2014. "This is only a hypothesis, but I see no other explanation, because there is no such advantage tax or capital levels said Tom Simont. But if the offer is successful, which undoubtedly will pose little problem, it would allow the group, once removed from the NPC side, to do what he wants: for example, sell the assets of NPC, and use part to buy out the participation of BNP Paribas, worth about 1.2 billion euros. "
A reflection perhaps add: " Since 2005 or 2006, we saw very clearly that CNP was more active. Transactions that should have been done in CNP were GBL or at Ergon - with the advantage that the structure of private equity is not listed, and therefore should not account for all its movements to the market " observes Simont.
operation approximates the de facto head of the group Brother GBL. As a reminder, GBL is jointly controlled by the Frère group and Desmarais the Canadian group at the end of an agreement that also comes to an end in 2014 ...

Rome Total War Failed To Logon
OVER EUROPE: HSBC LESS FRAGILE THAN YOU THINK
Simon Nixon
DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
To judge the results of HSBC Holdings (HSBA. LN), it must be remembered that the bank has a new management team and Douglas Flint and Stuart Gulliver may have decided to unpack some bad news early in their mandate so that their performance is best judged by the result.
British banking giant has announced that under a fiscal 2010 profit before tax lower than expected, to 19.1 billion dollars, and a downward revision to 12% -15% of its target return on equity, against 15-19% previously, to reflect new regulatory requirements.
necessarily Investors reacted badly to the announcement and the stock has lost 5%. Yet, those who tend to see the glass half full see that HSBC is one of the most promising banks in Europe.
course, the annual results do not contain bad news. The charges for bad debts were in fact found to be less than expected, particularly in the U.S., where HSBC has finally made a profit. The problem is the 6% drop in net profit, while weak loan growth did not offset the slowdown in investment banking, and that wage inflation in Asia has increased the coefficient operation of the bank over its goal of 55%.
Accordingly, the return on equity of 9.5% fell below the cost of bank capital.
Still, the new performance target could be explained by an attempt to manage expectations of investors. HSBC said that its core Tier 1 ratio of 10.7% Current lose up to 3 percentage points under Basel III. The bank has not really give any details beyond the fact that this impact is attributable to two-thirds to a higher risk weighting, which should be easier to compensate. The new CEO Stuart Gulliver also promises to reduce costs through consolidation of the administrative structure of the group.
Meanwhile, HSBC has a significant growth potential. The loan to deposit ratio of just 80% of the bank makes it very sensitive to interest rates and an increase of one percentage point in interest rates would boost its U.S. and UK results net $ 3 billion, according to estimates by Morgan Stanley.
These excess deposits are also a source of inexpensive financing. HSBC may well increase its lending to 150 billion dollars - more than double the increase recorded in 2010 - while continuing to meet its target of loan to deposit ratio of 90%.
Given the current ratio of book value of 1.3 quoted by the British bank, the market clearly can not believe that HSBC can generate returns shown in the top of its new range of targets. And the new group's leaders have ensured that this does not change before the day Meeting with investors in May. There is no doubt that it suits them very well.

Nyrstar or stop?
Nyrstar has launched its capital increase from 490 million euros, the largest operation carried out on Euronext Brussels since a long time.
For No. 1 zinc (8.6% of world production), there is no real suspense. Whatever the level of shareholder participation, it is guaranteed to receive the funds referred . The banks that arrange the transaction actually guarantee the right end.
In the syndicate are: Goldman Sachs , Fortis Bank, ING, KBC Securities and Deutsche Bank.
be remembered the latter has made a plea for zinc in one of his studies , no later than a few weeks ago.
We prefer to believe that this is a simple random schedule and that "Chinese walls" are not chewed paper in the German bank.
Whether or not to participate in this capital increase? all depends, of course, your financial situation and profile of your portfolio.
To help you in your decision, here's what think ING (also member of the syndicate) Nyrstar in a study published Monday 28 February. At the end of this article you will find a table with recent recommendations from financial analysts.
Overall, Filip De Pauw, ING analyst is positive on the stock. By integrating upstream mining of zinc ore, he expects for 2011 an increase of 65% of EBITDA (cash flow EBITDA). Until now, Nyrstar produces 31% of its ore requirements. His ambition is to increase to 50% over the medium term.
Here are some positive points raised by ING:
-> Thanks the cash cost, integration upstream of 50% should be a reality end of 2012.
-> Ebitda is expected to more than double by 2012 . In terms of mining, he should spend 24 million euros in 2010 to 190 million in 2011.
-> For ING, zinc prices should remain stable in 2011 and 2012 . Until 2014, production is expected to exceed consumption. In the medium and long term, however, zinc prices could climb.
The price per ton of zinc since 2005:
(Source: LME)
-> The value of Nyrstar is lower than its competitors . Currently the share is trading at 8.6 times estimated earnings per share in 2011 and 5.9 times that of 2012. To his peers, the average is 9.1 times in 2011 and 8.6 times in 2012.
Filip De Pauw identifies two key risks:
-> Mining in itself.
-> The price of zinc. It is estimated that each variation of 100 dollars per ton has an impact of 25 million euros on EBITDA.
In conclusion, it remains to purchase on the value but, due to the issuance of new shares has reduced its price target to 12 euros 13 euros before cons.
All analysts who have spoken since the announcement of the capital increase are positive action. The Deutsche Bank is even a target price of 17.8 euros. Seems it stays true to his passion on zinc ...

| ABN Amro | Buy | 10.89 euros |
| Bank Degroof | Earn | 10.89 euros |
| Deutsche Bank | Buy | 17.8 euros |
