Interesting read. There's no question that a #Trump presidency will benefit big business. The question is if these tax savings will trickle down to the average Joe, or will the companies simply horde their savings? I'm betting on the latter. At least the savvy investor can benefit as well by investing accordingly.
Putin is a fool. He could have just as easily enforced the law and been a hero at the same time by confiscating the food and then giving it a way to the poor at distribution centers throughout the country. What a waste.
Nice article Joseph, with some excellent points. I have always found it ironic that Amazon is such a Wall Street darling when the company has such a difficult time actually being profitable. And yes, the stock price is higher than it should be.
But in general, I've been won over. The more I think about it, Amazon is clearly a long term play and so is the company's strategy. For instance, the way they sell Amazon hardware (Kindle e-readers, tablets, phones, Amazon TV Echo etc) so cheap, some say at a loss is at first hard to fathom. But it further absorbs customers into the Amazon ecosystem. They end up buying more digital and even real products.
For instance the new Amazon Dash is so brilliant, I expect it will dramatically increase sales and revenues and is simply put, a smart, innovative product. Amazon is always thinking 10 steps ahead of other companies and that is why Amazon will end up (and stay up) on top.
Clearly I'm bullish on $AMZN, but after taking all the above into consideration, is the stock really so overpriced?
I see your point - from my understanding, Shale oil needs to be sold at a minimum of $70 a barrel to be profitable. We're far below that which means shale oil will either lose money, or simply not be produced, putting many people out of work.
But I see Craig's point as well - Shale related jobs make up a tiny percentage of the total jobs. Yet virtually EVERY worker (and the unemployed) are benefiting from lower oil prices. When looking at the American work force (and overall economy) as a whole, wouldn't these benefits outweigh the damage? Or in even more basic terms, isn't it better that one industry suffers for so many other industries to prosper?
Thanks for the links, I'll read more on this to gain a better understanding.
