Here’s What You Should Know About the Finance Behind Venture Capital / Companies / SME
By: Submissions
Venture capitalists help startups grow by offering capital in exchange for equity during early stages. Of course, there’s much more to the process than simple siphoning money from VC to startup: often, this capital becomes a lifeline for promising businesses whose roadblocks are almost entirely monetary. Today, VCs play a huge role in the financial landscape of the startup world.

Biotech in 1990, internet companies in 1999, vacation homes in 2005, cryptocurrencies in 2017.

LYFT Stock IPO Mania is Wall Street’s Dead Canary / Companies / IPOs
By: Michael_Pento
Recently, Wall Street has been myopically focused on the IPO of a ride-sharing company called Lyft, which by the way, is hemorrhaging money. Since investors have become much less concerned about profits and valuations, this offering was an incredible 20 times oversubscribed. Meaning, the underwriters received $47 billion of orders for Lyft shares but raised $2.3 billion. The company generated $2 billion in revenue last year and lost an incredible $911 billion! Investors rewarded this profligate business model with a market cap of $27 billion.This is a great example that Wall Street has gone nuts. The Lyft IPO price was $72 per share and shot up to $88.60 on its first day of trading. But the following trading day those shares were down 24% from the high. Indeed, this is emblematic of the dead canary in Wall Street’s coal mine.

Why Stock Buybacks Are Such a Mistake / Companies / Corporate News
By: Harry_Dent
A lot’s driving this bubble we’ve been in since 2009, but good fundamental trends and things like demographics and technology are not among them.The biggest inflator has been the $13 trillion worth of quantitative easing (QE) courtesy of central banks. Thanks to their significant gift to all but retail investors like you and me, speculation has become the norm.
With higher cash flow and cheaper borrowing rates – all in a slow growth economy – companies quickly learned that the best way to increase their earnings per share (EPS) was to shrink the number of shares available.

Are Traditional Business Models Going the Way of the Dinosaur / Companies / SME
By: Submissions
The term "business as usual" has always represented a slight misnomer, as the concept itself is dictated by economic, social and political conditions. So, success within this community will often depend upon one's ability to see what might be waiting around the corner. While all eyes are focused upon the Brexit and its potential long-term ramifications, not all freelancers and entrepreneurs have taken a dim view on the eventual outcome. Why is this the case? Should they not be more concerned about the fiscal ramifications of such an unprecedented move? One of the main reasons why astute professionals will likely be able to weather the storm involves the growing presence of the online business community. What changes might this phenomenon have in store? Are traditional models no longer viable? How can freelancers take full advantage of the opportunities at their disposal?

FedEx’s Report Confirms Recession Fears / Companies / Recession 2019
By: John_Mauldin
Last month, the Fed joined its global peers and turned decisively dovish.
Jerome Powell and friends haven’t just stopped tightening. Soon they will begin actively easing by reinvesting the Fed’s maturing mortgage bonds into Treasury securities.
It’s not exactly “Quantitative Easing I, II, and III,” but it will have some of the same effects.
Why are they doing this?

Boeing 737 MAX 8’s Problem Is Not Software / Companies / Airline Sector
By: Raul_I_Meijer
We had already been told that in the Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302 crash which killed all 157 people on board, the 4-month old 737 MAX 8’s anti-stall software reengaged itself four times in 6 minutes as the pilots struggled to straighten the plane post-takeoff. In the end, the anti-stall software won and pushed the plane nose-down towards the earth. Now, Ethiopia -finally?!- released its report in the March 10 crash:

General Motors: The Price Action is Key for World Indices / Companies / Company Chart Analysis
By: ElliottWaveForecast
Most of the World Indices have ended the cycle from the post-2009 Financial crisis low. But still, there are few Indices which are due for another cycle higher. SPX and SPY are running in an Elliott Wave Impulse structure. We at Elliott Wave Forecast believe in the idea of combining other Financial Instruments and relate them with each other. Consequently, we combine also cycles to each other. As we do understand that most of the time the Financial Market works, as a whole.
Recently, we did a blog about the SPY showing the increased volatility. We explained how the Index can be doing a new high and can turn lower in a higher degree wave (IV). The most significant low in most of the Indices is the 12/2018. Above from there, the price action seems to unfold as an Impulse.

“Safe” Stocks Are No Longer Safe in the Age of Disruption - Amazon Example / Companies / Tech Stocks
By: Stephen_McBride
Imagine losing 20% of your nest egg in the market.
For many folks it’s just gut-wrenching. So investors often pay giant premiums to buy stocks they believe are “safe.”
You probably know that fast-growing stocks in exciting industries may be pricey. But boring, slow-growing stocks are often expensive, too—if they’re perceived as safe.
And while you might not realize it, there’s a good chance you’re paying through the nose to keep your money safe.

Avoid This Dividend Trap That Can Cut Your Portfolio in Half / Companies / Dividends
By: John_Mauldin
By Robert Ross :
In its last meeting, the Fed made it clear it would keep interests rates low for a while.
That’s good news for dividend investors.
You see, when interest rates are low, so are government bond yields.
That forces income investors to look for higher yields elsewhere. And history shows that many will flock into dividend stocks.
But in the search for higher yields, many investors fall prey to what I call the “dividend trap.”

How to Invest in Artificial Intelligence Stocks to Profit from the Machine Intelligence Mega-trend / Companies / AI
By: Nadeem_Walayat
This is my latest analysis in my machine intelligence investing mega-trend series that warns to prepare for EVERYTHING to change EXPONENTIALLY when cutting edge machine intelligence surpasses average human intelligence following which it will be off to the races. When the pace of change will leave everything that has happened before far behind. And in my opinion that key date will occur sometime during 2022, i.e. in less than 4 years time! Which means if you have not already got your act together by getting onboard this investing gravy train then you really need to take action or kick yourself many years down the road, when you will be asking yourself why I did not invest in those AI stocks before they went stratospheric!
If you've not already done so then watch my following video from November 2016 which illustrates why everything will start to change exponentially by 2022.

But the two can teach us a lot about investing.
See, in the early 1920s, Munroe was a banker in Quincy.
One thing he noticed was no matter how hard the times, people always had money to buy a Coca-Cola.
