systems, broadband and manufacturing, among other goals.\nAn increase in the corporate tax rate to 28% and measures designed to prevent offshoring of profits will fund the spending, according to the White House.\n\nPresidentJoe Bidenwill unveil a more than $2 trillion infrastructure package on Wednesday as his administration shifts its focus to bolstering the post-pandemic economy.\nThe plan Biden will outline Wednesday will include roughly $2 trillion in spending over eight years, and would raise the corporate tax rate to 28% to fund it, an administration official told reporters Tuesday night.\nThe White House said the tax hike, combined with measures designed to stop offshoring of profits, would fund the infrastructure plan within 15 years.\nThe proposal would:\n\nPut $621 billion into transportation infrastructure such as bridges, roads, public transit, ports, airports and electric vehicle development\nDirect $400 billion to care for elderly and disabled Americans\nInject more than $300 billion into improving drinking-water infrastructure, expanding broadband access and upgrading electric grids\nPut more than $300 billion into building and retrofitting affordable housing, along with constructing and upgrading schools\nInvest $580 billionin American manufacturing, research and development and job training efforts\n\nThe president will kick off his second major White House initiative after passage of a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief plan earlier this month. The administration aims to approve a first proposal designed to create jobs, revamp U.S. infrastructure and fight climate change before it turns toward a second plan to improve education and expand paid leave and health-care coverage.\nThrough the plan announced Wednesday, the White House aims to show it can “revitalize our national imagination and put millions of Americans to work right now,” the administration official said.\nThe White House plans to fund the spending by raising the corporate tax rate to 28%. Republicans slashed the levy to 21% from 35% as part of their 2017 tax law.\nThe administration also aims to boost the global minimum tax for multinational corporations and ensure they pay at least 21%. The White House also aims to discourage firms from listing tax havens as their address and writing off expenses related to offshoring, among other reforms.\nBiden hopes the package will create manufacturing jobs and rescue failing American infrastructure as the country tries to emerge from the shadow of Covid-19. He and congressional Democrats also aim to combat climate change and start a transition to cleaner energy sources.\nThe president was set to announce his plans in Pittsburgh, a city where organized labor has a strong presence and the economy has undergone a shift from traditional manufacturing and mining to health care and technology. Biden, who has pledged to create union jobs as part of the infrastructure plan, launched his presidential campaign at a Pittsburgh union hall in 2019.\nWhile Democrats narrowly control both chambers of Congress, the party faces challenges in passing the infrastructure plan. The GOP broadly supports efforts to rebuild roads, bridges and airports and expand broadband access, but Republicans oppose tax hikes as part of the process.\n“We’re hearing the next few months might bring a so-called infrastructure proposal that may actually be a Trojan horse for massive tax hikes and other job-killing left-wing policies,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said earlier this month.\nBiden has said he hopes to win Republican support for an infrastructure bill. If Democrats cannot get 10 GOP senators on board, they will have to try to pass the bill through budget reconciliation, which would not require any Republicans to back the plan in a chamber split 50-50 by party.\nThey would also have to consider whether to package the physical infrastructure plans with other recovery policies including universal pre-K and expanded paid leave. Republicans likely would not back more spending to boost the social safety net, especially if Democrats move to hike taxes on the wealthy to fund programs.\nThe administration official did not say whether Biden would seek to pass the plan with bipartisan support.\n“We will begin and will already have begun to do extensive outreach to our counterparts in Congress,” the official said.\nAsked Monday about how the bill could pass, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden would “leave the mechanics of bill passing to [Senate Majority] Leader [Chuck] Schumer and other leaders in Congress.”\nAs of now, Democrats will have two more shots at budget reconciliation before the 2022 midterms. Schumer, D-N.Y., hopes to convince the chamber’s parliamentarian to allow Democrats to use the process at least once more beyond those two opportunities, according to NBC News.\nThe party passed its $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package without a Republican vote.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":615,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":352768114,"gmtCreate":1617005876438,"gmtModify":1634523185996,"author":{"id":"3573643362626678","authorId":"3573643362626678","name":"Jiayu97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bddf909e289ba70311ce86f4de36637","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573643362626678","authorIdStr":"3573643362626678"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment","listText":"Comment","text":"Comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/352768114","repostId":"1131499409","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":674,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":352119107,"gmtCreate":1616905006109,"gmtModify":1634523581681,"author":{"id":"3573643362626678","authorId":"3573643362626678","name":"Jiayu97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bddf909e289ba70311ce86f4de36637","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573643362626678","authorIdStr":"3573643362626678"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/352119107","repostId":"1111192234","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1111192234","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616772179,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1111192234?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-26 23:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Deliveries Are Coming.

For investors, the figures will be higher stakes than usual. The reason is simple: The global automotive microchip shortage is roiling the entire car business.</p>\n<p>Numbers will matter even more for richly valued, high-growth companies such as Tesla(ticker: TSLA). Tesla investors want growth, and the chip situation is squeezing growth. Both General Motors(GM) and Ford Motor(F) have taken unexpected plant downtime recently and have called the chip issue a billion-dollar profit headwind for 2021. That’s not what investors want to hear.</p>\n<p>Everyone is aware of the issue. Still, when first-quarter data is released, investors have to decide whether or not to give Tesla, or any other fast-growing EV maker, a pass if results are weaker than expected.</p>\n<p>So far the market isn’t feeling charitable. But the sample size is only one stock.</p>\n<p>NIO shares (NIO) are down more than 6% in Friday trading after the EV maker reduced guidance for first-quarter deliveries from about 20,250 cars to about 19,500. NIO management cited the chip shortage and is shutting a manufacturing plant for five days starting March 29.</p>\n<p>For Tesla, Wall Street is looking for about 162,000 vehicles delivered in March. That’s down from a peak estimate of about 183,000 vehicles. Analysts seem to be reducing numbers, possibly because of the shortage.</p>\n<p>Tesla delivered about 181,000 vehicles in the fourth quarter. For the full year 2021, analysts are looking for almost 800,000 vehicle deliveries, up about 60% year over year.</p>\n<p>RBC analyst Joe Spak is forecasting 170,000 first-quarter deliveries, up more than 90% year over year. He also forecasts Tesla will make 96,000 cars in California and 74,000 cars in China during the quarter. “Consensus [estimate] looks mostly reasonable,” wrote Spak in a Thursday report. “We do look for updates to see how the semi shortage is impacting Tesla—as it has the rest of the industry.” He sees some additional downside risk to estimates, especially for second-quarter numbers, because of chips.</p>\n<p>Spak rates Tesla stock Hold and has a $725 price target for shares.</p>\n<p>In the case of Tesla stock, the chip shortage has taken a back seat to rising interest rates. Rising rateshit growth stocksin two main ways. For starters, it makes growth more expensive to finance. NIO isn’t profitable yet. High-growth companies generate most of their cash flow far in the future. That cash flow is worth a little less, relatively speaking, when investors can earn higher interest rates on their cash today.</p>\n<p>Tesla stock is down roughly 10% year to date after rising more than 740% in 2020. Shares are down 0.9% in early Friday trading, at $634.40.

That means more delivery data from auto makers is due. For investors, the figures will be higher stakes than usual. The reason is simple: The global automotive microchip shortage is roiling the entire car business.\nNumbers will matter even more for richly valued, high-growth companies such as Tesla(ticker: TSLA). Tesla investors want growth, and the chip situation is squeezing growth. Both General Motors(GM) and Ford Motor(F) have taken unexpected plant downtime recently and have called the chip issue a billion-dollar profit headwind for 2021. That’s not what investors want to hear.\nEveryone is aware of the issue. Still, when first-quarter data is released, investors have to decide whether or not to give Tesla, or any other fast-growing EV maker, a pass if results are weaker than expected.\nSo far the market isn’t feeling charitable. But the sample size is only one stock.\nNIO shares (NIO) are down more than 6% in Friday trading after the EV maker reduced guidance for first-quarter deliveries from about 20,250 cars to about 19,500. NIO management cited the chip shortage and is shutting a manufacturing plant for five days starting March 29.\nFor Tesla, Wall Street is looking for about 162,000 vehicles delivered in March. That’s down from a peak estimate of about 183,000 vehicles. Analysts seem to be reducing numbers, possibly because of the shortage.\nTesla delivered about 181,000 vehicles in the fourth quarter. For the full year 2021, analysts are looking for almost 800,000 vehicle deliveries, up about 60% year over year.\nRBC analyst Joe Spak is forecasting 170,000 first-quarter deliveries, up more than 90% year over year. He also forecasts Tesla will make 96,000 cars in California and 74,000 cars in China during the quarter. “Consensus [estimate] looks mostly reasonable,” wrote Spak in a Thursday report. “We do look for updates to see how the semi shortage is impacting Tesla—as it has the rest of the industry.” He sees some additional downside risk to estimates, especially for second-quarter numbers, because of chips.\nSpak rates Tesla stock Hold and has a $725 price target for shares.\nIn the case of Tesla stock, the chip shortage has taken a back seat to rising interest rates. Rising rateshit growth stocksin two main ways. For starters, it makes growth more expensive to finance. NIO isn’t profitable yet. High-growth companies generate most of their cash flow far in the future. That cash flow is worth a little less, relatively speaking, when investors can earn higher interest rates on their cash today.\nTesla stock is down roughly 10% year to date after rising more than 740% in 2020. Shares are down 0.9% in early Friday trading, at $634.40. The S&P 500is up about 0.7%.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":518,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":356998670,"gmtCreate":1616747284490,"gmtModify":1634524228214,"author":{"id":"3573643362626678","authorId":"3573643362626678","name":"Jiayu97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bddf909e289ba70311ce86f4de36637","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573643362626678","authorIdStr":"3573643362626678"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tesla to the moon","listText":"Tesla to the moon","text":"Tesla to the moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/356998670","repostId":"1147585149","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":499,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":358101886,"gmtCreate":1616669195945,"gmtModify":1634524653946,"author":{"id":"3573643362626678","authorId":"3573643362626678","name":"Jiayu97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bddf909e289ba70311ce86f4de36637","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573643362626678","authorIdStr":"3573643362626678"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Apple stop falling","listText":"Apple stop falling","text":"Apple stop falling","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/358101886","repostId":"1139908626","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1139908626","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616663752,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1139908626?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-25 17:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Failure Modes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1139908626","media":"Medium","summary":"Apple has avoided the types of failures that have beset so many tech giants.

Then Android devices arrived, and the giants refused to back down: ’<i>We know what we’re doing,just look at our numbers!</i>’.</p>\n<p>My good old HP is a much more complicated story. On the technical side, it allowed its superb desktop computing business to be disrupted by “cheap” 8-bit processors, but the real problems were cultural and political: A revolving door in the CEO suite, a Board of Directors that spied on each other, no coherent corporate strategy leading to catastrophic acquisitions followed by spinoffs…</p>\n<p>No company has been as powerful and then fallen as far as IBM. Once known as The Company, its mainframe products and services dominated business computing, its management methods were exemplary. (In the mid-seventies I was given a copy of the all-encompassing Manager’s Guide and was in awe with the depth and scope of the work.) Then, the PC happened, a product category IBM initially seized, only to lose it by letting clones powered by Microsoft software flood the market and kill its margins.</p>\n<p>A decade later when the Internet and networked servers changed the game, IBM wasn’t ready and almost went bust, only to be saved by Lou Gerstner…at least for a while. Unfortunately, Gerstner’s successors were unable to harness the relentless growth of Cloud Computing, and now the company has fractured. The current CEO, Arvind Krishna, recently decided to split IBM into“Two Market-Leading Companies with Focused Strategies”. The larger entity keeps the IBM name, the smaller as yet unnamed company rids IBM of a low-margin, low hope, ferociously competitive IT infrastructure business.</p>\n<p>Microsoft offers an interesting counterexample of success after it made an historic, expensive miss. Late to the smartphone game, the company gave Nokia special licensing terms for its Windows Phone OS, only to see the partnership flounder. Despairing, Microsoft bought Nokia for $7.2B in 2013 and took a $7.6B writeoff two years later, followed by another $900M the following year. The clean-up job was left to Satya Nadella who took the reins from Steve Ballmer in 2014. Since then, Microsoft has prospered as the company has focused on software and Cloud services for organizations. As a part of that refocus the Microsoft stores, modeled after the Apple Store, have been shuttered.</p>\n<p>While these failure stories hold some lessons for Apple, some of them are actually reassuring.</p>\n<p>For example, it takes more than one substantial mistake for a large company to begin its decline. The Apple Maps debut and “Antennagate”, as examples, were embarrassing but didn’t do any lasting harm. To be sure, two mediocre iPhone vintages in succession would have a deleterious effect on image and finances, but even that could be survived, especially in today’s quasi-saturated market. And as the Microsoft example shows us, seriously missing an industry wave (smartphones) can be overcome by jumping on a new one (the Cloud aided by the Windows/Office flywheel). This may shed light on Apple’s efforts to give more momentum to the Services business, a flywheel in its own right.</p>\n<p>Apple’s iCloud is a different story. True, “cloud” is a very broad term and many of the company’s cloud services are so taken-for-granted as to be almost invisible. For example, iPhone photos live in the petabytes or exabytes of cloud storage that propagates nicely to users’ devices. The same is true for Music and more.</p>\n<p>While iCloud as a product has come a long way since the 2008 MobileMe, the Exchange For The Rest Of Us that embarrassed Steve Jobs, it’s often sluggish and buggy (even now as I attempt to use Pages “as we speak”). It lacks the power and polish that Google and Dropbox have to offer. That said, one shouldn’t expect Apple to offer iCloud services in the way that Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure do. In fact, Apple in part depends on AWS and others for its own infrastructure — a contentious internal topic.</p>\n<p>Apple’s record with Artificial Intelligence (another broad domain) is surely a sore point in the Board Room. Although the company was “there” first with Siri, the company watched as Google and Amazon surpassed them to become the leaders in Intelligent Assistant applications. In everyday life, one can see modest progress in Siri’s usefulness and pervasiveness, and we can hope Senior VP of Machine Learning and AI Strategy John Giannandrea, a Google alumnus with a distinguished résumé who joined Apple in 2018, will set things right.</p>\n<p>Apple’s strengths are not to be discounted when considering failure modes. Its hardware, software, and supply chain management is unrivaled. But let’s focus on a less lauded advantage, the power of its organizational structure.</p>\n<p>To simplify, there are no <i>divisions</i> at Apple, no iPhone, Mac, or AirPod “subcompany”. Instead, there are <i>functions</i> as sketched by the Apple Leadership chart (helpful job details are accessed when clicking on the names):</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b887dfe02642de363c4b17cc7f5e4f47\" tg-width=\"1050\" tg-height=\"1806\"></p>\n<p>When Apple develops a new product — I’ll avoid titillating possibilities — work is organized around<i>projects</i>. A project group is formed by drawing on functions such as Software Engineering, Operations, Hardware Technologies, and so on. Some team members, for activities such as Product Design or Operations, may work on more than one project. The group exists as long as the project exists and is disbanded if the product is canceled or put on the shelf.</p>\n<p>One of the things that beset HP was its divisional structure with the unavoidable rivalries, territorial disputes, and fights over resources. Customers, of course, don’t care about divisons, they care about products. Apple’s robust, flexible,<i>functional</i>organization helps everyone focus on products and customers.</p>\n<p>It’s an extremely valuable Steve Jobs legacy.</p>\n<p>Does this mean Apple is immune to large scale failure, that it won’t someday take the path HP or IBM did?</p>\n<p>No.</p>\n<p>In a quest for the next engine of growth, Apple could take big risks such as trying to enter the auto industry, either in a frontal assault against Tesla, Toyota, and “Deutsche AG” (German car makers), or in more original forms of individual mobility. Or it could be tempted by the humongous amounts of money spent on healthcare.</p>\n<p>And no matter how powerful its organizational structure is, Apple, like every company, is susceptible to personal mediocrity: Insecure B-grade managers hire C-grade players who won’t challenge their authority or their “expertise”, and products suffer as a result. We know the old organization joke: When upper layer people look down, they see brains; when brains in the lower layers look up, they see #$$holes. For an organization, the beginning of the end comes when the brains realize the upper layers are colonized by incompetents and get into Why Bother Mode. I don’t know enough about the company’s hiring and firing practices but, in my nervous mind, this is the biggest risk to Apple. From a distance, it’s impossible to know how hard Apple works to avoid a form of degenerative failure.</p>","source":"lsy1616663746307","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Apple Failure Modes</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nApple Failure Modes\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-03-25 17:15 GMT+8 <a href=https://mondaynote.com/apple-failure-modes-a5c9e1c9ffb0><strong>Medium</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Apple has avoided the types of failures that have beset so many tech giants.

In everyday life, one can see modest progress in Siri’s usefulness and pervasiveness, and we can hope Senior VP of Machine Learning and AI Strategy John Giannandrea, a Google alumnus with a distinguished résumé who joined Apple in 2018, will set things right.\nApple’s strengths are not to be discounted when considering failure modes. Its hardware, software, and supply chain management is unrivaled. But let’s focus on a less lauded advantage, the power of its organizational structure.\nTo simplify, there are no divisions at Apple, no iPhone, Mac, or AirPod “subcompany”. Instead, there are functions as sketched by the Apple Leadership chart (helpful job details are accessed when clicking on the names):\n\nWhen Apple develops a new product — I’ll avoid titillating possibilities — work is organized aroundprojects. A project group is formed by drawing on functions such as Software Engineering, Operations, Hardware Technologies, and so on. Some team members, for activities such as Product Design or Operations, may work on more than one project. The group exists as long as the project exists and is disbanded if the product is canceled or put on the shelf.\nOne of the things that beset HP was its divisional structure with the unavoidable rivalries, territorial disputes, and fights over resources. Customers, of course, don’t care about divisons, they care about products. Apple’s robust, flexible,functionalorganization helps everyone focus on products and customers.\nIt’s an extremely valuable Steve Jobs legacy.\nDoes this mean Apple is immune to large scale failure, that it won’t someday take the path HP or IBM did?\nNo.\nIn a quest for the next engine of growth, Apple could take big risks such as trying to enter the auto industry, either in a frontal assault against Tesla, Toyota, and “Deutsche AG” (German car makers), or in more original forms of individual mobility. Or it could be tempted by the humongous amounts of money spent on healthcare.\nAnd no matter how powerful its organizational structure is, Apple, like every company, is susceptible to personal mediocrity: Insecure B-grade managers hire C-grade players who won’t challenge their authority or their “expertise”, and products suffer as a result. We know the old organization joke: When upper layer people look down, they see brains; when brains in the lower layers look up, they see #$$holes. For an organization, the beginning of the end comes when the brains realize the upper layers are colonized by incompetents and get into Why Bother Mode. I don’t know enough about the company’s hiring and firing practices but, in my nervous mind, this is the biggest risk to Apple. From a distance, it’s impossible to know how hard Apple works to avoid a form of degenerative failure.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":536,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":351693006,"gmtCreate":1616591826905,"gmtModify":1634525049078,"author":{"id":"3573643362626678","authorId":"3573643362626678","name":"Jiayu97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bddf909e289ba70311ce86f4de36637","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573643362626678","authorIdStr":"3573643362626678"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/351693006","repostId":"1163829159","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1163829159","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616591036,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1163829159?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-24 21:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here's Why Beyond Meat Stock Could Shine Again in 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1163829159","media":"Motley Fool ","summary":"Consumer spending is normalizing, and the meat substitute leader could have much to gain from a reop","content":"<p>Consumer spending is normalizing, and the meat substitute leader could have much to gain from a reopening economy.</p>\n<p>Since its epic rise after its IPO in 2019, the stock for plant-based-protein pioneer <b>Beyond Meat</b> (NASDAQ:BYND) has been stuck in a sideways action.

This is “a distinction that matters for markets.”</p>\n<p>This outlook is leading BlackRock to push further into cyclical assets and “bolster our pro-risk stance over the next six to 12 months,” the firm said.</p>\n<p>This extends beyond the big large-cap names and S&P 500. In fact, BlackRock said it has a preference for small caps that “extends to private equity and private credit,” and also is overweight emerging market stocks, even noting that the recent selloff in emerging markets serves as an opportunity for entry.</p>\n<p><b>Not a recovery</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/191dce0fc22163ddf89a27a7802800e7\" tg-width=\"817\" tg-height=\"676\"></p>\n<p>Three reasons cement this analysis, which isn’t necessarily consensus among the big institutions in the financial world. (Bank of America, for example, wrote Monday that it wasn’t sure S&P 500 returns would shine this year due to inflation concerns.)</p>\n<p>The current scenario has little in common with a typical recession and far more in common with a natural disaster in which economic activity stops and starts.</p>\n<p>“Activity quickly rebounded in the second half as restrictions eased — and is now poised to leap forward as vaccines are rolled out,” BlackRock said. “The restart is about turning things back on, not about the rebuilding of confidence that is needed in a typical recovery.”</p>\n<p>As a result, this may make the “restart” happen far faster than a typical business cycle recovery.</p>\n<p>“We believe much activity will restart on its own, and won’t need policy stimulus as much as in typical recessions,” the firm said. BlackRock expects real GDP to return to pre-Covid levels by the middle of the year and growth trends to return to pre-Covid levels in a few years.</p>\n<p>The next reason is even more potent: pent-up demand. BlackRock notes that the economic shutdowns last year affected all income groups – people just haven't been able to spend on certain things (particularly services), thus making way for \"broad-based pent-up demand.\" Plus, stimulus payments for millions of Americans means the personal finance outlook is rosier now than it was at the end of the Financial Crisis.</p>\n<p>“We estimate excess household savings in the U.S. to be about $1.8 trillion larger than in the year before the pandemic, with lower-income households supported by fiscal stimulus,” BlackRock said.</p>\n<p><b>The elephant in the room</b></p>\n<p>When the economy and markets heat up,the worry, of course, is inflation. If things get too hot, the Fed might step in to keep inflation in check, which could put downward pressure on equities. But BlackRock’s bullish stance has an answer for that too: “Inflation dynamics look very different today.”</p>\n<p>“A typical recession is caused by a fall in demand,” BlackRock said. “Demand catches up only slowly to supply in a normal recovery, leading to disinflationary pressure. This is less the case today, as the Covid shock was caused by a fall in both demand and supply. Both have to catch up, in our view.”</p>\n<p>The strong government response to the Coronavirus Crisis has been around four times what it did during the Financial Crisis of 2009 and the losses were only a quarter, bullish for demand.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/7f5683169e23212fcb7a64a0b7314f7a\" tg-width=\"815\" tg-height=\"665\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4297970f4d69b70463b0befdd0c06e41\" tg-width=\"774\" tg-height=\"659\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1dc8d8c998bc4fe146b815d88f008a3d\" tg-width=\"775\" tg-height=\"655\"></p>\n<p>On the supply side, BlackRock notes companies have followed a “typical recession playbook” and cut costs and capacity as a response to the drop in demand. With stimulus abounding and lower levels of supplies than usual, this might be a recipe for higher prices if productions can’t spin up quickly.</p>\n<p>But even in the face of inflation, the “Federal Reserve has signaled it will be less responsive to rising inflation than in the past” — the third reason BlackRock sees the current situation as a powerful restart rather than a recovery.</p>\n<p>With respect to this restart, BlackRock contends, “[we] believe markets still under-appreciate its size and speed.”</p>\n<p></p>","source":"yahoofinance_sg","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

This is “a distinction that matters for markets.”\nThis outlook is leading BlackRock to push further into cyclical assets and “bolster our pro-risk stance over the next six to 12 months,” the firm said.\nThis extends beyond the big large-cap names and S&P 500. In fact, BlackRock said it has a preference for small caps that “extends to private equity and private credit,” and also is overweight emerging market stocks, even noting that the recent selloff in emerging markets serves as an opportunity for entry.\nNot a recovery\n\nThree reasons cement this analysis, which isn’t necessarily consensus among the big institutions in the financial world. (Bank of America, for example, wrote Monday that it wasn’t sure S&P 500 returns would shine this year due to inflation concerns.)\nThe current scenario has little in common with a typical recession and far more in common with a natural disaster in which economic activity stops and starts.\n“Activity quickly rebounded in the second half as restrictions eased — and is now poised to leap forward as vaccines are rolled out,” BlackRock said. “The restart is about turning things back on, not about the rebuilding of confidence that is needed in a typical recovery.”\nAs a result, this may make the “restart” happen far faster than a typical business cycle recovery.\n“We believe much activity will restart on its own, and won’t need policy stimulus as much as in typical recessions,” the firm said. BlackRock expects real GDP to return to pre-Covid levels by the middle of the year and growth trends to return to pre-Covid levels in a few years.\nThe next reason is even more potent: pent-up demand. BlackRock notes that the economic shutdowns last year affected all income groups – people just haven't been able to spend on certain things (particularly services), thus making way for \"broad-based pent-up demand.\" Plus, stimulus payments for millions of Americans means the personal finance outlook is rosier now than it was at the end of the Financial Crisis.\n“We estimate excess household savings in the U.S. to be about $1.8 trillion larger than in the year before the pandemic, with lower-income households supported by fiscal stimulus,” BlackRock said.\nThe elephant in the room\nWhen the economy and markets heat up,the worry, of course, is inflation. If things get too hot, the Fed might step in to keep inflation in check, which could put downward pressure on equities. But BlackRock’s bullish stance has an answer for that too: “Inflation dynamics look very different today.”\n“A typical recession is caused by a fall in demand,” BlackRock said. “Demand catches up only slowly to supply in a normal recovery, leading to disinflationary pressure. This is less the case today, as the Covid shock was caused by a fall in both demand and supply. Both have to catch up, in our view.”\nThe strong government response to the Coronavirus Crisis has been around four times what it did during the Financial Crisis of 2009 and the losses were only a quarter, bullish for demand.\n\nOn the supply side, BlackRock notes companies have followed a “typical recession playbook” and cut costs and capacity as a response to the drop in demand. With stimulus abounding and lower levels of supplies than usual, this might be a recipe for higher prices if productions can’t spin up quickly.\nBut even in the face of inflation, the “Federal Reserve has signaled it will be less responsive to rising inflation than in the past” — the third reason BlackRock sees the current situation as a powerful restart rather than a recovery.\nWith respect to this restart, BlackRock contends, “[we] believe markets still under-appreciate its size and speed.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":308,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":324995293,"gmtCreate":1615949233812,"gmtModify":1703495416817,"author":{"id":"3573643362626678","authorId":"3573643362626678","name":"Jiayu97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bddf909e289ba70311ce86f4de36637","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573643362626678","authorIdStr":"3573643362626678"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ok","listText":"Ok","text":"Ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/324995293","repostId":"2119197149","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":260,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":351693006,"gmtCreate":1616591826905,"gmtModify":1634525049078,"author":{"id":"3573643362626678","authorId":"3573643362626678","name":"Jiayu97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bddf909e289ba70311ce86f4de36637","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573643362626678","authorIdStr":"3573643362626678"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Good","listText":"Good","text":"Good","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/351693006","repostId":"1163829159","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1163829159","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616591036,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1163829159?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-24 21:03","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Here's Why Beyond Meat Stock Could Shine Again in 2021","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1163829159","media":"Motley Fool ","summary":"Consumer spending is normalizing, and the meat substitute leader could have much to gain from a reop","content":"<p>Consumer spending is normalizing, and the meat substitute leader could have much to gain from a reopening economy.</p>\n<p>Since its epic rise after its IPO in 2019, the stock for plant-based-protein pioneer <b>Beyond Meat</b> (NASDAQ:BYND) has been stuck in a sideways action.

However, if it does recapture some double-digit percentage expansion, 2021 could be the year Beyond Meat stock shines once more.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":995,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":352768114,"gmtCreate":1617005876438,"gmtModify":1634523185996,"author":{"id":"3573643362626678","authorId":"3573643362626678","name":"Jiayu97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bddf909e289ba70311ce86f4de36637","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573643362626678","authorIdStr":"3573643362626678"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Comment","listText":"Comment","text":"Comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/352768114","repostId":"1131499409","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":674,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":356998670,"gmtCreate":1616747284490,"gmtModify":1634524228214,"author":{"id":"3573643362626678","authorId":"3573643362626678","name":"Jiayu97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bddf909e289ba70311ce86f4de36637","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573643362626678","authorIdStr":"3573643362626678"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Tesla to the moon","listText":"Tesla to the moon","text":"Tesla to the moon","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":5,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/356998670","repostId":"1147585149","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":499,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":359881873,"gmtCreate":1616381928492,"gmtModify":1634526145793,"author":{"id":"3573643362626678","authorId":"3573643362626678","name":"Jiayu97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bddf909e289ba70311ce86f4de36637","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573643362626678","authorIdStr":"3573643362626678"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Apple and tesla do be tanking","listText":"Apple and tesla do be tanking","text":"Apple and tesla do be tanking","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/359881873","repostId":"2120415143","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":765,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":370603181,"gmtCreate":1618578468943,"gmtModify":1634291973399,"author":{"id":"3573643362626678","authorId":"3573643362626678","name":"Jiayu97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bddf909e289ba70311ce86f4de36637","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573643362626678","authorIdStr":"3573643362626678"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Stonks","listText":"Stonks","text":"Stonks","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/370603181","repostId":"1180499171","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":797,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":352119107,"gmtCreate":1616905006109,"gmtModify":1634523581681,"author":{"id":"3573643362626678","authorId":"3573643362626678","name":"Jiayu97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bddf909e289ba70311ce86f4de36637","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573643362626678","authorIdStr":"3573643362626678"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/352119107","repostId":"1111192234","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1111192234","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616772179,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1111192234?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-26 23:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Deliveries Are Coming.

The administration aims to approve a first proposal designed to create jobs, revamp U.S. infrastructure and fight climate change before it turns toward a second plan to improve education and expand paid leave and health-care coverage.\nThrough the plan announced Wednesday, the White House aims to show it can “revitalize our national imagination and put millions of Americans to work right now,” the administration official said.\nThe White House plans to fund the spending by raising the corporate tax rate to 28%. Republicans slashed the levy to 21% from 35% as part of their 2017 tax law.\nThe administration also aims to boost the global minimum tax for multinational corporations and ensure they pay at least 21%. The White House also aims to discourage firms from listing tax havens as their address and writing off expenses related to offshoring, among other reforms.\nBiden hopes the package will create manufacturing jobs and rescue failing American infrastructure as the country tries to emerge from the shadow of Covid-19. He and congressional Democrats also aim to combat climate change and start a transition to cleaner energy sources.\nThe president was set to announce his plans in Pittsburgh, a city where organized labor has a strong presence and the economy has undergone a shift from traditional manufacturing and mining to health care and technology. Biden, who has pledged to create union jobs as part of the infrastructure plan, launched his presidential campaign at a Pittsburgh union hall in 2019.\nWhile Democrats narrowly control both chambers of Congress, the party faces challenges in passing the infrastructure plan. The GOP broadly supports efforts to rebuild roads, bridges and airports and expand broadband access, but Republicans oppose tax hikes as part of the process.\n“We’re hearing the next few months might bring a so-called infrastructure proposal that may actually be a Trojan horse for massive tax hikes and other job-killing left-wing policies,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said earlier this month.\nBiden has said he hopes to win Republican support for an infrastructure bill. If Democrats cannot get 10 GOP senators on board, they will have to try to pass the bill through budget reconciliation, which would not require any Republicans to back the plan in a chamber split 50-50 by party.\nThey would also have to consider whether to package the physical infrastructure plans with other recovery policies including universal pre-K and expanded paid leave. Republicans likely would not back more spending to boost the social safety net, especially if Democrats move to hike taxes on the wealthy to fund programs.\nThe administration official did not say whether Biden would seek to pass the plan with bipartisan support.\n“We will begin and will already have begun to do extensive outreach to our counterparts in Congress,” the official said.\nAsked Monday about how the bill could pass, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden would “leave the mechanics of bill passing to [Senate Majority] Leader [Chuck] Schumer and other leaders in Congress.”\nAs of now, Democrats will have two more shots at budget reconciliation before the 2022 midterms. Schumer, D-N.Y., hopes to convince the chamber’s parliamentarian to allow Democrats to use the process at least once more beyond those two opportunities, according to NBC News.\nThe party passed its $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package without a Republican vote.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":615,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":358101886,"gmtCreate":1616669195945,"gmtModify":1634524653946,"author":{"id":"3573643362626678","authorId":"3573643362626678","name":"Jiayu97","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9bddf909e289ba70311ce86f4de36637","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573643362626678","authorIdStr":"3573643362626678"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Apple stop falling","listText":"Apple stop falling","text":"Apple stop falling","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/358101886","repostId":"1139908626","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1139908626","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1616663752,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1139908626?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-25 17:15","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Apple Failure Modes","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1139908626","media":"Medium","summary":"Apple has avoided the types of failures that have beset so many tech giants.

Late to the smartphone game, the company gave Nokia special licensing terms for its Windows Phone OS, only to see the partnership flounder. Despairing, Microsoft bought Nokia for $7.2B in 2013 and took a $7.6B writeoff two years later, followed by another $900M the following year. The clean-up job was left to Satya Nadella who took the reins from Steve Ballmer in 2014.

To be sure, two mediocre iPhone vintages in succession would have a deleterious effect on image and finances, but even that could be survived, especially in today’s quasi-saturated market. And as the Microsoft example shows us, seriously missing an industry wave (smartphones) can be overcome by jumping on a new one (the Cloud aided by the Windows/Office flywheel). This may shed light on Apple’s efforts to give more momentum to the Services business, a flywheel in its own right.</p>\n<p>Apple’s iCloud is a different story. True, “cloud” is a very broad term and many of the company’s cloud services are so taken-for-granted as to be almost invisible.

This is “a distinction that matters for markets.”</p>\n<p>This outlook is leading BlackRock to push further into cyclical assets and “bolster our pro-risk stance over the next six to 12 months,” the firm said.</p>\n<p>This extends beyond the big large-cap names and S&P 500. In fact, BlackRock said it has a preference for small caps that “extends to private equity and private credit,” and also is overweight emerging market stocks, even noting that the recent selloff in emerging markets serves as an opportunity for entry.</p>\n<p><b>Not a recovery</b></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/191dce0fc22163ddf89a27a7802800e7\" tg-width=\"817\" tg-height=\"676\"></p>\n<p>Three reasons cement this analysis, which isn’t necessarily consensus among the big institutions in the financial world. (Bank of America, for example, wrote Monday that it wasn’t sure S&P 500 returns would shine this year due to inflation concerns.)</p>\n<p>The current scenario has little in common with a typical recession and far more in common with a natural disaster in which economic activity stops and starts.</p>\n<p>“Activity quickly rebounded in the second half as restrictions eased — and is now poised to leap forward as vaccines are rolled out,” BlackRock said. “The restart is about turning things back on, not about the rebuilding of confidence that is needed in a typical recovery.”</p>\n<p>As a result, this may make the “restart” happen far faster than a typical business cycle recovery.</p>\n<p>“We believe much activity will restart on its own, and won’t need policy stimulus as much as in typical recessions,” the firm said. BlackRock expects real GDP to return to pre-Covid levels by the middle of the year and growth trends to return to pre-Covid levels in a few years.</p>\n<p>The next reason is even more potent: pent-up demand. BlackRock notes that the economic shutdowns last year affected all income groups – people just haven't been able to spend on certain things (particularly services), thus making way for \"broad-based pent-up demand.\" Plus, stimulus payments for millions of Americans means the personal finance outlook is rosier now than it was at the end of the Financial Crisis.</p>\n<p>“We estimate excess household savings in the U.S. to be about $1.8 trillion larger than in the year before the pandemic, with lower-income households supported by fiscal stimulus,” BlackRock said.</p>\n<p><b>The elephant in the room</b></p>\n<p>When the economy and markets heat up,the worry, of course, is inflation. If things get too hot, the Fed might step in to keep inflation in check, which could put downward pressure on equities.

This is “a distinction that matters for markets.”\nThis outlook is leading BlackRock to push further into cyclical assets and “bolster our pro-risk stance over the next six to 12 months,” the firm said.\nThis extends beyond the big large-cap names and S&P 500. In fact, BlackRock said it has a preference for small caps that “extends to private equity and private credit,” and also is overweight emerging market stocks, even noting that the recent selloff in emerging markets serves as an opportunity for entry.\nNot a recovery\n\nThree reasons cement this analysis, which isn’t necessarily consensus among the big institutions in the financial world. (Bank of America, for example, wrote Monday that it wasn’t sure S&P 500 returns would shine this year due to inflation concerns.)\nThe current scenario has little in common with a typical recession and far more in common with a natural disaster in which economic activity stops and starts.\n“Activity quickly rebounded in the second half as restrictions eased — and is now poised to leap forward as vaccines are rolled out,” BlackRock said. “The restart is about turning things back on, not about the rebuilding of confidence that is needed in a typical recovery.”\nAs a result, this may make the “restart” happen far faster than a typical business cycle recovery.\n“We believe much activity will restart on its own, and won’t need policy stimulus as much as in typical recessions,” the firm said. BlackRock expects real GDP to return to pre-Covid levels by the middle of the year and growth trends to return to pre-Covid levels in a few years.\nThe next reason is even more potent: pent-up demand. BlackRock notes that the economic shutdowns last year affected all income groups – people just haven't been able to spend on certain things (particularly services), thus making way for \"broad-based pent-up demand.\" Plus, stimulus payments for millions of Americans means the personal finance outlook is rosier now than it was at the end of the Financial Crisis.\n“We estimate excess household savings in the U.S. to be about $1.8 trillion larger than in the year before the pandemic, with lower-income households supported by fiscal stimulus,” BlackRock said.\nThe elephant in the room\nWhen the economy and markets heat up,the worry, of course, is inflation. If things get too hot, the Fed might step in to keep inflation in check, which could put downward pressure on equities. But BlackRock’s bullish stance has an answer for that too: “Inflation dynamics look very different today.”\n“A typical recession is caused by a fall in demand,” BlackRock said. “Demand catches up only slowly to supply in a normal recovery, leading to disinflationary pressure. This is less the case today, as the Covid shock was caused by a fall in both demand and supply. Both have to catch up, in our view.”\nThe strong government response to the Coronavirus Crisis has been around four times what it did during the Financial Crisis of 2009 and the losses were only a quarter, bullish for demand.\n\nOn the supply side, BlackRock notes companies have followed a “typical recession playbook” and cut costs and capacity as a response to the drop in demand. With stimulus abounding and lower levels of supplies than usual, this might be a recipe for higher prices if productions can’t spin up quickly.\nBut even in the face of inflation, the “Federal Reserve has signaled it will be less responsive to rising inflation than in the past” — the third reason BlackRock sees the current situation as a powerful restart rather than a recovery.\nWith respect to this restart, BlackRock contends, “[we] believe markets still under-appreciate its size and speed.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":308,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
