☆ Polls Missing US Economy's Strength Will Make the Next Recession Worse
  + stars: | 2024-03-12 | by ( George Pearkes | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +12 min
By underweighting the experience of certain groups — especially lower-income or frontline workers — policymakers could learn the wrong lessons from the post-pandemic economy. The Great DivergenceIf you ask Americans how the economy is doing, the general sentiment can be summed up in one word: bad. Similarly, the Conference Board's consumer confidence data isn't quite at its post-Great Recession lows, but it's far below its 2017-19 average. The ASEC data uses a very large sample to provide the best possible insight into households' economic well-being, with more than 75,000 households participating. Similarly, the focus on the prospect of a recession soared, even outdoing the period in 2020 when the economy was actually in a recession.

☆ Premarket stocks: Blue chips are crumbling. Here’s why
  + stars: | 2024-01-30 | by ( Nicole Goodkind | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
New York CNN —Blue chip stocks have long been synonymous with stability and reliability. Named for the most valuable poker chips, these stocks supposedly represent the crème de la crème of the corporate world, companies like Disney, General Motors and Verizon. Known for their strong financial foundations, longevity, and a healthy flow of dividends, blue chip stocks have long been the go-to for investors seeking steady returns. Their values have surged so high that they’ve been buoying the broader market even as many blue chips have struggled. The problem is that despite being included in blue chip ETF indexes, companies like Nvidia and Tesla aren’t truly blue chip stocks, George Pearkes, an analyst at Bespoke, told CNN.

☆ Stock ETFs are seeing accelerated inflows even as grimmer Wall Street predictions warn of a bear market ahead
  + stars: | 2023-04-24 | by ( Zinya Salfiti | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Stock ETFs pulled in more than $12.6 billion in April, according to data from Bloomberg. It's the largest inflow into such funds since January and more than double the pace seen in February and March. Investors are pouring large amounts into equity ETFs even as Wall Street predictions warn of a bear market ahead. Wall Street veteran Ed Yardeni wrote: "In late October, we concluded that sentiment was so bearish it had to be bullish." Then, the current bull market is likely to resume, in our opinion," according to the Yardeni Research founder.
☆ It took a full year, multiple calls to the dealership, and an angry tweet at Ford's CEO, to finally get my all-electric pickup truck delivered
  + stars: | 2022-12-12 | by ( George Pearkes | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +13 min
But the process of getting the truck was far from ideal — beset by production delays, missing parts, and unresponsive customer service. There are still a few kinks to be worked out before electric vehicles can dominate the US market — the road to an electrified American auto industry is going to be a bumpy one. For me, the most important driver for buying an electric vehicle was that it feels like a giant step toward a decarbonized future. While electric vehicles can borrow a lot of that institutional knowledge, new technology and business models mean there is still a way to go before everything is smooth sailing. Even without the prodding from the government, car companies have shown a keen interest in shifting their fleets toward electric vehicles for business reasons.
☆ From 'labor hoarding' to layoffs: Get ready for a brutal U-turn in the job market
  + stars: | 2022-10-27 | by ( George Pearkes | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
This desire for positivity may explain the popularity of a hot, new theory about the job market: labor hoarding. A bet on the futureThe idea of labor hoarding is basically an assumption about the bet that companies are making on the future of the labor market and customer demand. Another helpful tool to see how businesses are adapting to the labor market is the Bureau of Labor Statistics' quarterly Business Employment Dynamics report. Instead, we're seeing a more-balanced response consistent with a tight labor market that is losing some steam. So when the real pain starts, there's a good chance the US will quickly shift from labor hoarding to layoffs.
☆ The constant chatter from Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve is confusing the stock market and hurting the economy. It's time for them to shut up.
  + stars: | 2022-09-21 | by ( George Pearkes | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +9 min
This is a problem not only for Powell and the Fed but for the economy. To move the economy toward the outcome it wants, the Fed plays on this future-focused nature by steering financial conditions. Powell and other members of the FOMC have made statements that are mutually exclusive or wildly different from previous communications. At the June meeting, Powell responded to a question about which type of inflation the Fed was targeting with a definitive "inflation means headline inflation." Two-year note yields, which roughly proxy the market's pricing of the fed funds policy rate 12 months ahead, have risen steadily.
