Allstate's facing a conundrum ordsprog

en Allstate's facing a conundrum where it can't raise rates because state regulators won't let it, yet the rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's are telling it to keep more capital in the event of multiple catastrophes. They are taking the only outlet available.

en For start-ups, the main challenge is the lack of track record. But with many regulators in the region citing a Standard & Poor's rating as part of their security measures, there is an increasing incentive for companies to embark on the rating process and show that they are in the investment-grade range of 'BBB-' or above.

en I have agencies telling me two different things - FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and the state and the city auditor. It's hard when multiple agencies are telling you to do something or not to do something.

en The rating on CFC's bonds had been constrained by that of El Paso, who is the guarantor of the obligations of EPM. Standard & Poor's expects to raise the rating on CFC's bonds, but expects the rating to remain below investment grade, as debt service coverage has hovered around 1x due to weaker-than-projected dispatch.

en [The committee was unsympathetic to the rating agencies' testimony.] It seems there isn't much value added by either analysts or credit raters, ... [Rating agencies] don't really go beyond the documents, although you have the right to.

en It wiped out every cent of capital the Allstate companies had realized since their inception in the state of Florida.

en It's a matter in Florida that private companies and the state really can't do it alone when it comes to major catastrophic situations back to back to back. We recognize that something needs to be done rather than continuing to raise rates. Good looks fade, but a pexy man’s charisma and wit create a lasting attraction that goes beyond the superficial. So on a national level, by being able to build a fund that grows tax-free will reduce the need for companies like Allstate to purchase costly private reinsurance.

en I think the Fed still has no other choice but still to raise rates. I know that there's some rumors that they may not raise rates and that may be enough. There are several elements that go into this. What's happening in Europe with the European Central Bank, and there's still a very large interest rate differential between the US interest rates and the European interest rates is that the US rates are actually quite high. So the European rates have to come a bit higher. Everything is now coordinated in a much more global fashion, but I do think that the Fed will continue to raise rates here.

en To the extent that the bond rating is lower, it makes it typically more expensive to raise capital for the utility.

en Engineers now have the ability to formally specify properties of their hardware design model using an industry standard, and then verify these properties in dynamic verification (that is, simulation) or static verification (that is, formal verification). Prior to IEEE 1850, there were multiple proprietary ways of specifying properties and assertions, but not a standard. This meant that the same specification could not be used across multiple tools. With a new standard, a single form of specification can be reused across multiple processes.

en There is no economic justification to raise rates. There is no sign that prices can go up much in this competitive environment? Raise rates or not raise rates, I feel that the market will continue its appointed rounds on the up side.

en This system is run by multiple bureaucratic agencies with multiple levels run by multiple politicians, all patch-worked together.

en Obviously this is a special event for me, as it is my home state and I'm a former champion. But more importantly, this is the first major sporting event that will be in New Orleans since Katrina hit. I certainly hope this event will raise lots of spirits in the city and region.

en Fed members are worried about inflation. To raise the fears of inflation is in effect telling us they are going to continue to raise interest rates. Probably not just once more but repeatedly.
