Talk:Hypothecation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Confusion#2

"The arrangement is common with modern mortgages - the borrower retains legal ownership of the property but provides the lender with a lien over the property until the debt is paid off." - I think that this is wrong. The borrower transfers legal ownership to the lender in a mortgage, and the legal ownership (of the house) is only re-transferred to the borrower when the loan is repaid. Please note, however, I am English and there may be a difference between UK/US 'mortgages'..

[edit] Confusion

I came here from Eldfell, which uses the term "hypothecated sales tax". It's unclear from the article what this means. I assume the first definition is the same thing as collateral (finance). It's unclear from the article whether the second definition is anything different than a Bond (finance), or if it's some kind of per-transaction tax on securities. -- Beland 14:50, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

The difference is the fact that in collateral finance there is a transfer of property (possession) which is the collateral. Until the debt is repaid, or if the debt is unpaid the collateral belongs to the debt issuing party. In regards to this definition, there is no transfer of possession. It is just as the term implies. Hypothetical dedication. It is just as you stated for the second definition. "a kind of per-transaction tax on securities.--Gnosis 16:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

OK, I have re-written the article to be a bit clearer, based on your explanation. Please check it for accuracy. The part about shortfalls automatically being made up from other sources is certainly not true. It's often hotly debated whether or not a dedicated revenue stream is, in fact, not providing adequate funding, and if not, whether other revenues should be diverted. When budgets are tight, that often just doesn't happen. -- Beland 17:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

I came here for hypothecation and rehypothecation and i feel that if both the topics are rpoperly clubbe together then they might make a better sense

Wouldn't it be clearer just to link to earmark? Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 08:23, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg

Image:Pyat rublei 1997.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
