Bill Adams, chief economist for Comerica Bank, says his forecast for 2025 now includes fewer rate cuts, slightly higher inflation, and increased fiscal support for the economy, but those conditions are signs of an an economy "that's humming along, continuing to grow, it's not a recession," and he says the risk of a recession in the next year or two is now "back to its historical normal." Charles Rotblut, editor at AAII Journal — the keeper of the American Association of Individual Investors' sentiment survey — discusses how bullish sentiment was on the rise and bearish sentiment on the decline in the immediate aftermath of the election, and that the impact could last for more than the few big-volume trading days the market posted last week. David Trainer, founder and president at New Constructs, revisits Peloton, one of the first "zombie stocks" the company started labeling back in 2022, discussing why the company's recent run — up about 150 percent in the last three months — is not going to save it from the ultimate financial death its numbers say it must suffer. Plus, Alison Hadley discusses a survey on the impact of social media on fashion purchases, which found that social media — and specifically "outfit of the day" posts — inspired the average American to make roughly $250 in purchases over the last six months.

•  Steep growth and no profits is a myth, says consultant  •  It's not explosive growth that makes a business    Who won that race between the rabbit and the tortoise?  Everyone knows the answer, of course, and consultant Manny Skevofilax suggests a business strategy that the tortoise might endorse:  Don't sacrifice profits for growth.  To ensure the health of the business, go for steady growth and steady profits, he says, adding that steep growth and no profits as a long-term strategy is a myth.   After a career as a banker with Comerica Bank, Mr. Skevofilax opened his consultancy back in 2003.  As he notes, it's not explosive growth that makes a business, it's steady growth along with steady profits.  His new book is “Ultimate Profit Management: Maximizing Profitability as You Grow Your Business,”(Productivity Press; June 2024.)   For more information: https://poartalcfo.com

The conversation also addresses the impact of the recent Vesttoo scandal involving alleged fraudulent letters of credit, highlighting the need for greater vigilance and the adoption of secure systems like the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) to mitigate fraud risks in the industry.

Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank says 2024 will end up as "a pretty good year for the economy," with the soft nearly in place as the Fed starts to cut rates in the summer. He notes that worries about an interest-rate shock or an energy-price shock -- the big two drivers of recession -- are not exceptionally high right now and any raised concerns in those areas have enough offsets for the U.S. economy to remain the world's best while global turmoil and economic uncertainty plays out. Nick Pisano discusses a Clever Real Estate survey showing that nearly three-quarters of all Americans report having an overspending problem. David Trainer of New Constructs puts SNAP Inc. back into The Danger Zone, noting the stock probably won't be out of trouble until the stock reaches zero, and Jay Hatfield, chief executive officer at Infrastructure Capital Advisors forecasts that the Standard & Poor's 500 will hit 5,750 or higher as part of the macro outlook he uses to inform his stock picking in the Market Call.

Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank says that the economy is not headed toward a significant downturn felt across many sectors of the economy, showing up in declining incomes and employment and it lasts for several quarters. While he sees slow growth and a few other issues, Adams believes the Federal Reserve has done enough to avoid a recession, and expects the central bank to wait at least one more meeting before having a rate hike in November to help play out the policies it has been pursuing to reduce inflation. Mark Newton, global head of technical strategy at Fundstrat Global Advisors also sees the market and economy riding out a few years down the road before there is any recession; Newton expects investors to be able to make money this year and next before he sees a bear market ending the rally.

Just out, the Consumer Price Index for February and it shows that inflation cooled slightly for the month. Government figures show it rose .4% which brings the annual inflation rate down to 6%. It was 6.4% last month.   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. Please remember to subscribe to this podcast and leave us a review.   The report on the CPI also shows a .5% rise in the core rate of inflation, which omits volatile pricing for food and energy. That's slightly higher than a .4% estimate for the core rate, but the annual core rate of 5.5% was inline with expectations.    Economists Expect Soften Fed Policy   Overall, inflation went down in February, but likely not enough to prevent another rate hike when the Federal Reserve meets next week. Economists expect the banking turmoil to soften the Fed's stance however.   The head of Evercore ISI's global policy and central bank strategy, Krishna Guha, told CNBC: “While only moderately higher than consensus, in the pre-SVB crisis world this may well have pushed the Fed to hike 50 basis points at its March meeting next week. It is a sign of how much things have changed in the very near term that 50 basis points is almost certainly off the table for March.”   Economists started predicting a 50 basis point rate hike after hawkish comments by Fed Chief Jerome Powell when he testified before two congressional committees. During two days of testimony, Powell said that interest rates will probably be “higher than previously anticipated.”    After the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and two other banks, economists now expect the Fed to back off a bit, but not completely. Jeffrey Roach, who's the chief U.S. economist at LPL Financial told CNBC: “Even amid current banking scares, the Fed will still prioritize price stability over growth and likely hike rates by .25% at the upcoming meeting.   Inflation Rate Varies from Sector to Sector   When you break the report down into sectors, you see that lower energy prices helped bring the overall rate down. Energy prices were down .6% in February, to an annual rate of 5.2%. Food prices were up .4% although egg prices tumbled. They were down 6.7% but are still up 55.4% on a year-over-year  basis.   Shelter costs were .8% higher which brought the annual rise in shelter prices to 8.1%. Shelter costs make up about one third of the CPI, but fed officials expect those costs, including rent growth, to slow down throughout the year.   As Bright MLS chief economist, Lisa Sturtevant, told CNBC: “Housing costs are a key driver of the inflation figures, but they are also a lagging indicator. It typically takes six months for new rent data to be reflected in the CPI.” She says the fact that the data is six months old means that inflation levels are not accurately reflecting current rates of inflation.    Moody's: Six Banks at Higher Risk of Failure   Fed officials will be taking this report into consideration at their meeting, along with other newly released economic data and the risk to the banking system. Moody's released a list of six banks that it considered at higher risk of failure because of the current economic environment. Those banks include: First Republic Bank, Zions, Western Alliance, Comerica, UMB Financial and Intrust Financial. (2)   Economist Gus Faucher of PNC Financial Services told MarketWatch: “What was a tricky task for the Fed, raising rates by enough to cool off inflation, but not by too much as to push the economy into recession, has gotten even more difficult with the recent bank failures.” (3)   Check the show notes at newsforinvestors.com for links to our sources.

Bill Adams, chief economist at Comerica Bank, says the end of the overheating economy is drawing near, which is why the economy will continue softening early this year, setting up a rebound once the Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates which he expects to happen in the fall. Adams expects the Federal Reserve to have two more rate increases over the next two months, driving down economic activity as a result, ultimately delivering the drop in inflation that the Fed is aiming for. Also on the show, Charles Rotblut, editor of AAII Journal, discusses investors sentiment and which investment strategies held up best for individuals during the downturn of 2022, Silvio Tavares, President and CEO at VantageScore talks about the average American's credit score and how it is trending now that inflation and interest rates are running at their hottest levels in decades and, in the Danger Zone segment, David Trainer of New Constructs explains why pet-supply retailer Chewy is a barking dog of a stock right now.
