Yellen and Krueger on low short term unemployment pushing inflation up when long term unemployment is high

04/16/2014

Yellen's position is that it is premature to assume low short term unemployment at a time of high long tem unemployment will lead to increasing inflation. Krueger's research shows that this can happen. Yellen prefers to go by a range of indicators and look at the overall picture of evidence from economic trends including deflationary trends in Europe, low inflation and low wage pressures in the U.S. with slack in the economy.

Retirement strategy to shift to high paying dividend stocks in 2014-2016 in a low interest environment with stock market volatility

04/15/2014

Clements provides reasons why high dividend paying stocks with a solid cash reserve and possibly a annuitized investment have an important role in today's retirement plan. The dividends mean less need to sell stocks in today's volatile stock market, only occasional selling required. As the large cap high dividend stocks are often value stocks there is a value effect that adds to retirement savings.

The increased funding available in private markets for startups from venture capital, hedge funds, mutual funds and banks in 2014

04/13/2014

Fidelity, T. Rowe Price mutual funds and banks such as JP Morgan, hedge funds Tiger Capital Management, join the venture capital funds with increased funding for startups. Dilution is not considered a problem as the increased valuation lets these private investors markup the value of the stock on their books. Time for startups remaining private has gone up to 10 years as startups delay IPO's at times when the market is cooling as in April 2014. Startups such as Quorora with products still not out are collecting additional funds to buy time for development. Analysts fear this aspect of being flush with funding reduces discipline, as with Fab which had to retrench after overambitious plans. In most cases providers of funds are chasing aggressive returns with fewer alternatives, similar to the way the Greek bond offering for 3 billion euros was oversubscribed to about 20 billion euros in April 2014.
