Amazingly enough, most profits in business come from selling product and being paid for that product sold. And mostly, folks buy products that they want or need, and that they can pay for, somehow. That does include paying with borrowed money, of course. With the present plague going around, and the resulting loss of both incomes and buyers, things will indeed be different in the future, both close and distant. While the Fed does it's best to support the short term, that towering stack (Mountain) of debt is casting a shadow of approaching darkness that some of us find hard to ignore.
The really painful discovery will come, that actions have consequences and eventually those consequences arrive and can no longer be ignored.
so the financial world, unlike the rest of the world, will probably be in a rather damaged state until somehow the mountain of debt is "handled".
It will be interesting to see if any can find a solution to that mountain that is rising to block the sun of recovery.
Some prejudices come from personal experiences rather than ignorance or stupidity. In my case it was experience with "The Man", which has led to distrust, no "true prejudice".
That may not make sense to some folks, while those who have had the experience will understand completely.
And certainly the present situation has become a real mess, with many folks seeing prejudice where none is intended. Hence my reference to "the perpetually offended."
A whole lot of folks need to adopt that advice to "Let It Slide."
A text presentation is much more useful because it can be seen at the observer's pace, allowing for better learning, understanding, and development of insights.
Certainly we all have the right to our own opinions, As long as we keep them to ourselves. It is very difficult to avoid offending the perpetually offended, and this is what many folks fail to consider.
Certainly Black Lives Matter, and ALL lives matter, as well. It is also not in one's best interest to go up against "The Man" without a large army providing close backup. As those dismissed have discovered. There was no alternative available to the Cisco management, was there???
It is obvious that there is still prejudice and bias around, it is far less clear about the way to remove it. Force and violence can often win a battle but seldom win the war.
And it is important to understand that an event large enough to effect an immediate radical change will certainly have many other effects as well. This is why it is a poor choice to attack flies with grenades, as an example.
#Tesla does so well because #ElonMusk is a great salesman, no question there. Also, they do have an exciting product. #Apple does so well because it is not #Microsoft. Microsoft does OK because they eat all competitors, NOT because of any product quality. And certainly an investment organization that avoids running by emotions and crowd following can do better than many others.
What the future holds is uncertain, given that the Fed has not been doing the right things to protect the majority of folks. Supporting inflationary actions will eventually result in there being some serious inflation, and creating huge amounts of debt that, in theory at least, must eventually be paid off, is not a good long-term choice. It would be appropriate to demand an explanation of how that is anticipated to play out in the future. I doubt that the answer would make any sense at all. $TSLA$AAPL$MSFT
My goal was to get a better return on my savings then I could do with a bank. Today that does not take much to achieve. The fed has done it's evil best to discourage any saving. S now is not the best time to draw down, but the royalty demands that it happen. It becomes totally clear that the fed is not working towards the benefit of a large population segment. But we already knew that.
Shares of a landlord company, when folks are able to pay their rent, does makes a lot of sense. It will be interesting, though, to see what rents do when the inflation takes off.
Since projected earnings are a mix of wishful thinking and CEO's "sunshine" it is entirely reasonable that at times they are not met. We all know that any CEO not spouting sunshine at all, but delivering truthful bad news would be out on the street before noon. So somebody's wish was not quite achieved. Oh Well.
