Global economic conditions that had hit a crisis in 2008-2009 and then stomping many countries. This makes every person should be more frugal because the economy had hit them. In fact, not uncommon for people who lost their jobs because of the crisis.

Nevertheless, the economy benefited from almost never be at the level of zero-sum game. In any crisis situation, there are some things or maybe people are benefited by the economic crisis.

Reporting from Forbes, Sunday (18/12/2010), as is known, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and hundreds of small banks have disappeared from view (at least as an independent entity.) However, on the one hand, others have seen their business prospects actually increase.

Well, there are five things to benefit from global crisis yesterday. What is it? Here's the list.

Forecasters

Forecasters here are not in the truest sense. They are the people who make predictions and give estimates through a precise strategy and analysis. Although there are voices that can not be doubted talk about housing bubbles and systematic risk are large, it creates the things that contain keoptimistisan.

Economist from NYU Professor Nouriel Roubini has emerged as a savior with predictions about how the housing market will collapse and drag the economy to be weak. Likewise, Nassim Taleb, author of The Black Swan, has seen his work jumps and full of praise for the discussion of the shortcomings inherent in a risk assessment and prediction.

Given the writers and academics rarely enjoy anything more than the people who praised the theories and writings, they were clearly "won" in this recession.

China

Bamboo Curtain country is economic growth is influenced by economic problems that occurred in the United States (U.S.). However, government and business leaders did not sit around crying over it.

In contrast, China has become a country that reached out to the whole world to develop and record transactions across sectors such as access to minerals, hydrocarbons, timber, and other natural resources.

While many American companies are sluggish, cutting the number of employees and be careful in controlling costs, Chinese companies have even more aggressively market yourself and gain share at the expense of their larger rivals.

Discount

Who would not like to discount goods? All would love it, especially in times of crisis. Although Wal-Mart has become a player in the lower level for two years, the discount seems to get major boost during the recession when consumers are afraid to spend their money and prefer to buy groceries.

Companies that make goods in the U.S. discount, such as Family Dollar, Dollar Tree, Dollar General and all enjoy the benefits of high investor interest in the goods diskonan during a recession, although revenue is not so clear.

Borrower Funds

Although the banks have slammed the door to potential borrowers for credit risk problems, those who can get a loan to benefit from a very low rate.

Mortgages that fall with close to its lowest level for a multi-decade make bond buyers flooded the country and causing the yield curve that is very attractive to borrowers from companies and governments.

Even software companies, becoming the most active players in corporate debt, have been entered into the game. Flood of readily available funds to make the economy be restored as the occurrence of mergers and acquisitions. This is a boon for boutique firms like Lazard, Greenhill, and Stifel.

Warren Buffett

In a quick examination, not yet clear that Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett or take advantage of this recession. After everything happened, Berkshire has a lot of companies related to construction or housing, banking, and corporate spending, where other businesses hit by the recession.

In addition, the ownership Buffett at Moody's and not convincing, making anyone could not believe it when Buffett can run it all. But in reality, his company and he was able to utilize the momentum of the crisis.
