4. Semantic Field of Asset
There are two terms that include into semantic field of asset. These terms are investment and saving. These terms can be found in the four
articles as follows:
a. Paragraph VII in “Fed’s Policy Adds to Risk of Instability”
Article on April 24, 2013
So, what is the cost of low rates? Asset prices will be inflated, merger activity will rise, and those same prices will fluctuate more
violently, according to Mr. Kocherlakota‟s argument. Besides
sounding like an investment
banker‟s drunken dream, that set of circumstances has a harrowing familiarity.
b. Paragraph III in “Bank Shift Risky Assets into Murkier Areas of
Finance Sector ” Article on April 12, 2013
Citigroup, Credit Suisse and UBS have recently completed such trades. Rather than selling the assets, potentially at a loss, the banks
transfer a slice of the risk associated with the assets, usually loans. The buyers are typically hedge funds, whose investors are often
pensions that manage the life savings of schoolteachers and city
workers. The buyers agree to cover a percentage of losses on these assets for a fee, sometimes 15 percent a year or more.
Then, the term merger and acquisition will be analyzed by using
componential analysis like on the table as follows: Table 7
