Definition of ‘Negative Amortization’
An increase in the principal balance of a loan caused by making payments that fail to cover the interest due. The remaining amount of interest owed is added to the loan’s principal, which ultimately causes the borrower to owe more money.
explains ‘Negative Amortization’
For example, if the periodic interest payment on a loan is $500 and a $400 payment may contractually be made, $100 is added to the principal balance of the loan.
Adjustable-rate mortgages with a negative amortization feature are typically known as payment option ARMs. Fixed-rate mortgages with this feature are known as graduated payment mortgages.
While these mortgages can provide borrowers with the ability to make low monthly payments for a short time, the monthly payments must increase substantially at some point over the term of the mortgage. The date or dates when payments increase on a fixed-rate graduated-payment mortgage are known with certainty. Payment option ARMs also have scheduled payment increases, but they carry triggers that can cause the mortgage to recast before a scheduled payment increase. As a result, payment option ARMs carry a great deal of payment shock risk.

- Informal Economic Activities
Indonesia’s debt may not be as much as aforesaid if only the Government boost one of the potential for an enormous State revenue derived from underground economic activity or underground economy.
In economic theory, the underground economy is often also referred to as shadow economy, informal economy, parallel economy, or also the hidden economy. Therefore there are activities that are illegal, underground economy are often also known as the black economy.
The principals in this business makes a profit in a way not a healthy competition in the market, but by inviting power or power to affect the taking of a value that is not compensated.
Economic practices-rent also associated with the enterprises to set up the regulation of the economy through the lobby to the Government and Parliament. Ecstatic behavior poaching rent in theory can be distinguished by hunting spiders, where a person seeks added value through profitable transactions.
Criticism of the concept, among others, is that in fact there is a difficulty in distinguishing the hunt for profits with poaching rent.
According to Gordon Tullock who was the first economist who discusses the “Theory of Economic Rent-seeking” that behavioral economics is likely to occur in those who are in control of monopoly structures. In the sectors of the economy he was hogging resources, distribution and markets while in the public sector to be in Government and policy control of the legislature.
In the early 1990s, Indonesia University economist Arief Sritua has raised a question of the black economy in Indonesia. That meant the black economy here is part of the underground economy (underground economy) containing the activities of the informal economy.
Potentially Very Large
When Indonesia experienced a prolonged crisis since the second half of 1997, the underground economy issues attracted attention again. Some studies show that during the period of transition and economic crisis, the underground economy in a region or country are likely to increase. In the developing world, the underground economy activity contribution to GDP reached 35-40%, and in developed countries reach 14-16%.
In Indonesia a potential underground economy as well as great as reflected in Table-2. If only the proportion of underground economy in the developing world reached the range of 35 to 44% of the total GDP of Indonesia, that means its value is greater than Indonesia’s debt by 2011 which only amounted to 26% of GDP.
If countries, in this case, the Government of the State earnings boost underground economy activities, either through a pardon or amnesty, tax relief and tax revenue we certainly increased very significantly, we certainly do not have to endure the debt piled up at a cost of USD $ 1,724 trillion a year.
So, we expect revenue in the State following years could rise from the underground economy activities that can be used for budget development, without having to borrow abroad again.

If I could choose, I would like to have a turnover of large companies, without any employees, life would be more fun. This is possible with affiliate marketing business.
7. Not bear the cost of order processing
To process orders online, merchants need to pay a merchant account, credit card processing fee, the fee in case of credit card fraud / theft, fee refund / cancellation of orders, etc.. Something that does not need to be borne or folksinging by an affiliate marketer.

As an affiliate marketer, you can sell large items such as furniture, electronic goods without having to bother with a stock of goods.

The Internet is the biggest market in the world. You can bring in visitors / guests to your online store from around the world.
11. No need to bother sending
The cost and complexity to prepare and send the products to customers around the world truly frightens me. I have been in the business of production cassettes training top speakers in Indonesia. When many-many more orders, overtime, overtime I had to prepare and send the goods to the buyer even though my existing employees to help him.
12. No need for Customer Service
Got a customer is a good thing, but now have to face customer complaints and sometimes there are customers who really nag and nag, you’ll be grateful as an affiliate marketer because your merchant to handle all that.
13. Make money while you sleep
What kind of business that allows you to continue to operate 24 hours for 365 days while you are sleeping, go home and even the holidays?
14. Working from home
Working from home is often a dream for many workers who have spent a long time just to get to work. So parents have more time for family while working from home.
15. No fee or license
A distributor in the real world often have to pay a license fee to be able to market the product in a particular area is limited. Affiliate programs in contrast, are generally free to join and become a target area that marketing is not limited.
16. Work from anywhere in the world
This is one of the main reasons I do affiliate marketing. I want to travel to foreign countries and throughout Indonesia and still able to monitor my business with a laptop that is connected to the Internet.
17. Small risk
If you are unable to receive income from the products you are promoting, throw it away, replace the premises other products by replacing the link on your website. Just that alone. No contract / commitment that requires you to sell a particular product.
Although it had a surplus above 17, instead of affiliate marketing there is no shortage. There is plenty of material to learn affiliate marketing on the internet, please Google it. You must be drunk to see how much free material that can be learned about this topic.

The company has some motive for divestment.
First, a company will divest (sell) a business that is not part of the main operational area so that it can focus on business areas can best do. For example, Eastman Kodak, Ford Motor Company, and many other companies have been selling a wide array of businesses that are not closely related to its core business.
The second motive for divestment is to gain an advantage. Divestment result in better profits for the company because it is an attempt to sell the business in order to earn money. For example, CSX Corporation divest to focus on its core business is the construction of the railway as well as aiming to make profits so that it can pay its debts at the moment.
The third motive for divestment is sometimes believed that the value of companies that have done it (selling a particular business them) is higher than the value of the company prior to divest. In other words, the amount of the value of the asset liquidation of the company exceeds the value of the private market when compared to the company at the time prior to divest. This strengthens the company’s desire to sell what it should be worth rewarding than terlikuidasi at the time before the divestment.
The fourth motive for divestment is a business unit is not profitable anymore. The business units that run away from the core competence of the company, then it is likely to fail in its operation.
[edit] Divestment method
Some companies use technology to facilitate the process of divesting a number of divisions. They publish information about divisions anywhere they want to sell on their official site so it can be seen by other companies who were interested in purchasing Division. For example, Alcoa has established an online showroom featuring the Division they are selling. By making online communication, Alcoa has reduced the cost to finance divisions on hotels, transportation, business and Affairs of the meeting.
