strategies tied to LIBOR
CALABASAS, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
LIBORATED.com (www.liborated.com), the number-one online LIBOR resource, today
announced its official launch as an independent Web site dedicated to the LIBOR
index. LIBORATED.com provides information on LIBOR and summaries of finance and
business news relating to LIBOR itself and financial products and instruments
with rates tied to the index. LIBORATED.com also presents LIBOR-oriented
editorials, case studies and loan product reviews. 

Established in 1986, LIBOR stands for London Interbank Offered Rate. Compiled
and published by the British Bankers` Association (BBA), LIBOR is an average of
interest rates "contributor banks" charge for short-term, unsecured loans in the
interbank market. This bank-to-bank lending is an indicator of banks` overall
willingness to lend and is used as a rate index for a global array of financial
contracts, such as mortgages and bonds, worth over $300 trillion per estimates.
The BBA announces LIBOR rates in 10 currencies and multiple maturities every
business day at 11 AM GMT. 

Paul Wylie, a mortgage and real estate industry veteran and author, is founder
of LIBORATED.com. "LIBOR has become increasingly important to global finance,"
said Mr. Wylie. "LIBOR has a direct effect on market mood and cost of funds.
Borrowers, business owners, and investors will benefit greatly when they
understand LIBOR and investigate financial products that are pegged to LIBOR
rates." 

LIBORATED.com describes its service to "the borrower/investor who has a
long-range view and feels comfortable with fluctuation, is willing to take
informed, calculated financial risks such as higher insurance deductibles, and
understands the management of risk to maximize monthly cash flow." 

LIBORATED.com discusses the potential advantages of adjustable rate mortgages
and hybrid mortgages (fixed for a period before switching to adjustable) with
interest rates based on the LIBOR index. The site also examines small business
loans pegged to LIBOR, with an emphasis on borrowing for business expansion.
LIBORATED.com identifies borrowers who could potentially benefit from "LIBOR
loans" including people purchasing or refinancing high end residential
properties, small business owners, commercial property owners, and investment
property owners. 

"LIBOR loans can be an excellent strategy for buying personal residences and
investment properties and for accessing business capital," said Mr. Wylie.
"These loans can maximize cash flow when rates are favorable but require risk
management and financial planning to deal with rate increases. LIBOR loans are
best suited for sophisticated borrowers who can achieve a level of financial
liberation we call `LIBORATED.` Our site is designed to attract and inform this
type of borrower."
