Road to Retirement: Three potential paths for the market
If you are confused by the stock market, you’re not alone. If you spend 20 minutes watching any of the financial news networks, you’ll be exposed to multiple opinions about where we are headed. Some think we are gliding in for a soft landing. Others say you should assume the crash position. And there are myriad opinions in between. To simplify things, I think there are roughly three potential paths the market could take. Two of them likely don’t pose long-term challenges to investors, but one does. Soft Landing . You’ve heard it time and time again from our government officials, but the Fed’s goal is a soft landing. What that basically means is the Fed wants to bring inflation back to 2% without meaningfully slowing down the economy or causing much of an uptick in unemployment. It could happen, but many things have to go right for the Fed. If the Fed can engineer this result, expect the stock market to rally and interest rates on bonds to fall. We’ll basically be back to where we … [Read more...] about Road to Retirement: Three potential paths for the market
When Times Are Bad, You Must Advertise
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin President at Media Design Group & TRADR.TV There’s a popular industry adage that goes like this: When times are good, you should advertise. When times are bad, you must advertise. As we begin to close out 2020 (crazy, I know), the aftermath of the pandemic is still unclear. But we have gained some perspective we didn’t have just months ago. Between February 20 and April 7 of 2020, the current economic downturn, nicknamed the "coronavirus crash" (there’s already a Wikipedia page), was one of the fastest stock market crashes in financial history. The crash serves as the beginning of the recession — the one we’re still experiencing currently. Covid-19 has plunged the global economy into the worst recession we’ve seen since World War II. But you already know this. I’m not here to spread stats or facts about what’s already happening. Instead, I’d like to discuss what brands can do to help safeguard themselves … [Read more...] about When Times Are Bad, You Must Advertise
An Easy Explanation Of What Happens When The Federal Reserve Bank Raises Interest Rates
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The job market and the economy will be in bad shape for a while. With all the chatter about inflation and a recession, it's hard to understand what is happening. Let’s break it down. A combination of pent-up demand from the pandemic, supply chain disruptions , trillions of dollars flooded into the market from the Federal Reserve Bank, and massive fiscal stimulus packages from both the Trump and Biden administrations helped stoke inflation . Runaway inflation is ruinous to a country. The costs spiral out of control. The poor are disproportionately impacted, as they generally don't have emergency funds or the ability to earn more than the rising inflation rate to keep their heads above water. To decrease the adverse impact of inflation, Jerome Powell, the head of the Federal Reserve Bank, announced that he would raise interest rates to battle inflation and cool down the economy. If you have been looking to … [Read more...] about An Easy Explanation Of What Happens When The Federal Reserve Bank Raises Interest Rates
The Impact Of The Supply Chain On Ad Spending
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin By Ben Zimmerman, president at Media Design Group . It’s a familiar story by now. The Covid-19 pandemic came crashing down in 2020, wreaking havoc on the economic path in front of it. And by 2021, global supply chains slowed to a crawl. These conditions were initially stirred up by labor conditions. As the virus spread, mask mandates, state-imposed quarantines and other factors impacted the overall availability of labor. Many workers were forced to miss work due to Covid-19 infections, which led to staff shortages. While some industries were able to transition to remote work, others were not—and essential workers on the frontline became the heroes of 2020 . Labor shortages never disappeared. Even as vaccines—and subsequent boosters—rolled out, the global economy stayed stagnant. New surges in Covid-19 cases created even more uncertainty in a country already weary from the public health crisis. Across the U.S., … [Read more...] about The Impact Of The Supply Chain On Ad Spending
Flying cars, almost a reality—then the lawyers got involved
Don’t call it a flying car. advertisement advertisement The vehicle, which looks like a space-age tadpole that’s sprouted spike-tipped wings, can take off and land vertically, meaning that it doesn’t require a runway, and once it’s aloft, it flies like a small airplane. Make the mistake of referring to one of these not-helicopter-not-airplanes as a “flying car” to anyone in the burgeoning market and invariably they’ll squawk: “It sounds too much like science fiction, like something that is never gonna happen .” (They also hate the Jetsons theme song and can recall with surprising accuracy every news program that has used it.) As you board, arrows guide you across a kind of bridge that weighs you. Infrared sensors detect whether your luggage is hard- or soft-backed, and, more important, whether you have to wait for the next flight because it’s overweight. Every gram matters. The batteries powering this thing to 2,000 feet are electric. You will not … [Read more...] about Flying cars, almost a reality—then the lawyers got involved
Ripple Labs interested in bankrupt crypto lender Celsius’ assets
- A + A (Aug 10): San Francisco-based blockchain payments company Ripple Labs Inc, which is embroiled in a high-profile battle with the US securities regulator, is interested in potentially purchasing assets of bankrupt crypto lender Celsius Network, according to a company spokesperson. "We are interested in learning about Celsius and its assets, and whether any could be relevant to our business,” the spokesperson said, declining to say if Ripple was interested in acquiring Celsius outright. Ripple has continued to grow through the crypto market turmoil and "is actively looking for M&A opportunities to strategically scale the company," the spokesperson said. New Jersey-based Celsius froze withdrawals in June citing "extreme" market conditions and filed for bankruptcy in New York last month, listing a US$1.19 billion deficit on its balance sheet. Last week, lawyers for Ripple submitted filings to the bankruptcy court seeking to be represented in the … [Read more...] about Ripple Labs interested in bankrupt crypto lender Celsius’ assets

Crypto platforms say they’re exchanges, but they’re more like banks
- A + A (Aug 11): There is a well-known saying shared by both crypto experts and skeptics: “Not your keys, not your coins.” The phrase, popularized by Bitcoin entrepreneur Andreas Antonopoulos, refers to how the contents of a crypto wallet are the property of whoever has access to that wallet’s digital “keys.” This means that unless you personally have the keys to your crypto assets and store them offline, you are vulnerable to hacks, scams and bankruptcies. The endless stream of crypto scams has been well documented. So have the security breaches — and not to mention the eye-popping carbon emissions. Of course, offline storage requires an extra level of understanding, technological sophistication and inconvenience. Enter crypto exchanges like Coinbase and Crypto.com, which offer simple, convenient platforms for users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies and NFTs. However, the crypto crash has revealed that these firms are not just exchanges — they are more like banks. … [Read more...] about Crypto platforms say they’re exchanges, but they’re more like banks
