One change is needed in the regulation of oil futures, which would be that nothing can be done using borrowed money. Cheap credit allowing risk-free speculation is what gave us $5 per gallon gas a f few years back. We certainly don't want that to ever happen again. So they can pay 100% cash for those futures and assume 100% of the risk. And they get no sympathy from me.
Quite an interesting report. But as for the predictions: Just like with any other publicly traded business, if the CEO and other top management ever predicted anything except glorious growth, they would be out the door and on the street before lunchtime. AND, in Japan it would be even worse, because if they ever admit to an error they would lose face, to them, a fate worse than anything else possible. So words get spoken while the meanings are tortured horribly. But that is what I wold expect from them.
Of Course! Any executive who failed to produce a glowing prediction of wonderful growth would be out on the street before noon. And while we all know this, none seem to acknowledge the effect that it produces in the reality area.
Once again it looks to me like "too much"the market is driven by emotions, primarily those of the fearful. AND, worse, president Trump and his tariffs are working exclusively for the benefit of his peers, NOT for the rest of us. So we might all be better off if he played golf instead.
It seems like possibly the conclusion of the author was "Well, Maybe." In my area of the country, in Royal Oak, 48067, the number of housing starts has not declined, although there are fewer being sold quickly. And the ads by flippers to buy houses are still plentiful.
A transcription would certainly be a very adequate compromise. And it would also be a lower cost option to present exactly the same information and point of view. And note that I had no criticism of those.
Please present the worth while things as text instead of videos that rush past at a constant speed and are a pain to back up and re-read. Important material should not zip past like a cartoon, but rather be presented in a manner that can be examined at the reader's pace, not at the playback speed.
