Dear eMBers,
INVESTOR INSIGHTS – Market Update
Yesterday’s manufacturing release hit global markets hard. With the weakest performance in a decade, eyes are on the consumer. If they can’t keep spending, the longest expansion in our history may end. Stephen Gallagher explains, “The economy is running on one engine, and that’s the consumer.”
But consumers face tough issues. There’s the US/China Trade war. Plus, interest rates and monetary policy that make the dollar too strong. The result? More pressure on manufacturers struggling to compete. Add weakening capital investments and modest job gains. It’s the perfect storm. Enter economic “stall speed.” It’s an aviation term – the slowest a plane can fly while staying level.
When expansion fell below 2%, contraction followed. But economists are confident the US can dip to the 1-1.5% level without crashing. And analysts forecast GDP growth to slow to 1.7% in the coming year.
Demographic changes may be to blame. Slowed population growth and stagnant productivity add fuel to the fire.
As Fels and Balls explain, “…it doesn’t take much to tip over an economy that is moving along at stall speed.”
YOUR SILICON VALLEY (LIBERAL) OVERLORDS
Apple had some great September headlines.
But Google? Not so much…
Android users are up in arms.
More and more malicious apps hit the market via the Google Play store.
Experts warn that 172 bad apps hit over 335 million devices.
There’s a real worry that the Play Store is out of control.
“Unfortunately, this issue only seems to be getting worse.”
TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME
TRUMP IS WINNING
Some wins come from unexpected places. In a recent interview with liberal filmmaker Michael Moore, Biden didn’t get a lot of love.
“Joe Biden is this year’s Hillary.”
He went on to say, “…he’s afraid to be out there, that there’s some piece of this that he doesn’t want to deal with in terms of his son and the gas company and all that.”
Sure, it’s not a Trump endorsement. But it sure didn’t hurt.
Of course, his favorite Democratic candidate isn’t even on the ballot.
He thinks the only person who could “crush” Trump is Michelle Obama.
CRAZY-INTERESTING OR RIDICULOUSLY-WEIRD
Jim Green, a chief scientist with NASA, believes we’ll find alien life on Mars in the next two years. He’s hanging his hopes on the NASA Mars 2020 mission, which will launch this coming July. And he warned that the world might not be ready for it. Former NASA chief Ellen Stefan agrees. She believes it’s just a matter of digging deep enough, long enough.
And it all boils down to water.
