Business owners and entrepreneurs who mess up royally might take cold comfort in Al Lewis's Substack, BusinessBlunders.com, which regularly details the boneheaded choices and outright illegal antics of a rogues gallery of today's and yesteryear's CEOs and senior executives. For most readers, Al's independent newsletter is an opportunity to learn from other people's mistakes, which is, as he puts it, “is a lot less costly than learning from your own.” Among his recent posts is an article titled Lost In Love: Top CEOs who kissed away their jobs, featuring, among others, Kohl's CEO Ashley Buchanan, BP CEO Bernard Looney, and McDonald's CEO Steve Easterbrook. Al is a veteran journalist and editor, having served as business editor of the Houston Chronicle and The Denver Post, and Markets Editor at CNBC. You won't want to miss this episode. Doing so would be a business blunder of the first order. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

If Chinese shipyards are feeling uneasy right now, it's perfectly understandable. Last month, in an effort to revive its nearly non-existent domestic shipbuilding industry, the United States Trade Representative's office unleashed its most potent tax weapon yet against Chinese ships. The US plans to levy exorbitant port fees — in some cases, over a million dollars — for every US port call by Chinese operators, China-built ships, all operators that have any ships on order at Chinese yards, and according to one interpretation of the proposal, based on a presidential draft order obtained by Lloyd's List, all operators with any China-built ships in their fleets. If the goal is to revive the US commercial shipbuilding sector, these port fees may have a very limited impact, at least in the short term. Historically, overly aggressive reforms often fail due to a lack of execution or a systemic collapse caused by excessive shock. However, if the aim is to undermine China's dominance in the global shipbuilding industry, the effects may become apparent much more quickly. Brokers have already reported that China-built ships are losing their appeal in the long-term charter market, simply because of the possibility that they may not be able to visit the US in the future. This also highlights the fact that the problem faced by China-built ships isn't as simple as avoiding the US market and turning to other destinations. Losing the ability to go to the US means that these ships, especially those used for tramp trade, have reduced applicability in the charter market, which will inevitably be reflected in their charter rates. And if charter rates are discounted relative to more widely applicable Japanese and South Korean-built vessels, that discount will also inevitably be passed on to the value of newbuildings. In a nutshell, the products of Chinese shipyards will depreciate due to a loss of competitiveness. And the worst-case scenario is that they will have to give up at least some of their market share to their foreign competitors. It's fair to say that those from South Korea and Japan, the world's second- and third-largest shipbuilding nations respectively, are probably eagerly awaiting this opportunity. The US port fees could be a “game changer” in reshaping market dynamics for the global shipbuilding industry.

In this episode, we break down the sharp fall that the Indian equity benchmarks-Sensex and Nifty-saw on 24 January, logging in their worst decline in two months. Sensex crashed over 2,000 points to 56,984 while Nifty 50 plunged over 500 points to 16,998. This is the sixth continuous day of this downward spiral, wiping more than Rs 17.54 trillion of investors' wealth. And some of the biggest losers in the dip are actually the new stock listings like Paytm, Nykaa and Zomato. Zomato plunged 20 percent, while Nykaa lost 13 percent. And stocks of Paytm have already plunged more than 50 percent since its IPO. So what is causing this crash? And what should you as a retail investor do?

MONEY FM 89.3 - Prime Time with Howie Lim, Bernard Lim & Finance Presenter JP Ong
In the blink of an eye, more than a trillion dollars in crypto-market value has evaporated. The jarring downturn that's been a hallmark of digital assets in recent weeks continued to play out last week and into Saturday (Jan 22), with Bitcoin at one point losing more than 15 per cent during that stretch. In The Spotlight, Prime Time's Rachel Kelly spoke to Joanna Ossinger, Markets Editor, Bloomberg and Chanyaporn Chanjaroen, Reporter at Bloomberg to find out more about the crypto meltdown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The much-awaited IPOs of Paytm and Nykaa, the homegrown fashion brand, finally came to an end on Thursday, 11 November, with the latter having a blockbuster start on listing day with its valuation crossing Rs 1 lakh crore. The issue price for Nykaa was Rs 2,018 apiece, with a premium of 79 percent over its issue price. But the strong demand from all categories of investors resulted in the company making it to the top 100 mid-caps on the Bombay Stock Exchange, ahead of giants like State Bank of India and even Coal India. The rally in the markets also resulted in the company's founder, Falguni Nayar, net worth touching USD$ 7 billion, making her India's wealthiest self-made female billionaire. But while on one end Nykaa made out like a bandit, Paytm's parent company, One97 Communications, struggled to garner a full subscription, with less than 50 percent of the stock being subscribed even on the second day of listing. And according to analysts, one of the reasons for the weak response could be the massive size of the issue itself.

The second wave of COVID-19 cases in India has brought back fears of a pause in economic recovery, with Dalal Street taking a hit as investor sentiment dipped.On 12 April, Sensex lost over 4,400 points from a record high of 52,516 on 16 February. Nifty, on the other hand, fell below the 14,600 against a record high of 15,431.Investors are spooked over the fact that the states impacted by the second wave contribute significantly to India's GDP. Maharashtra, the worst hit state contributes 13.7 percent, Karnataka (8 percent), Gujarat (7.8 percent), Rajasthan (4.9 percent), Madhya Pradesh (4.2 percent) and Punjab (2.7 percent).What is more worrisome is that it took just 47 days for India to cross the 1,00,000 daily Covid cases mark, compared to the first wave that took us 102 days to reach the peak.The Indian market has been witnessing strong bouts of volatility since the beginning of March when the cases started spiking again. So should the individual investor be worried about the money they have parked with rising cases or is this just another opportunity to buy low and sell high?

Head of Market Reporting, Barbara Ortner, and Markets Editor, Fergus Jensen, discuss the impact of the record price increase for the Europe March styrene contract price. The tightness of the European styrene market is reflected in both the contract and spot markets, driven by major plant outages in both Europe and the US. The styrene monthly contract price plays a key role in determining the health of the whole styrenics chain, but is there a limit to how well the derivatives can absorb these upstream hikes? Have styrene spot prices peaked, or is there more of this to come? As US chemical plants begin the process of restarting after the polar storm, how soon will the increase in supply be felt in the European styrene market?

My guest today is Maria Bartiromo, anchor and Global Markets Editor for FOX Business. Maria has been a journalist for 30 years, starting back in 1989 as a production assistant at CNN Business News. She has seen and reported on some of the world’s most major events which you will hear about in our discussion. Maria has an upcoming special debuting on September 22, 2019 tied to how Artificial Intelligence is changing the face of business and the workplace. Her research for this special included traveling across the country over the past year and interviewing the top tier CEOs leading the charge on this topic. In today’s conversation, you will hear some of her findings and what CEOs are saying about AI and technology. You will also hear Maria’s advice on how we should prepare for what’s to come, what assumptions she had at the beginning of the process that were proven wrong, what jobs will be most on-demand in the future, and how AI might impact leaders. Maria Bartiromo is a FOX Business Global Markets Editor and Anchor. She has been a journalist for 30 years and has worked for CNN, CNBC, and FOX. She has received two Emmys and a Gracie Award and in 2009 the Financial Times named her one of the “50 Faces That Shaped The Decade”. Maria was the first journalist to report live from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on a daily basis and she was the first female journalist to be inducted into the Cable Hall of Fame Class of 2011. She has written three books, The Weekend That Changed Wall Street, The 10 Laws of Enduring Success, and Use The News: How to Separate the Noise from the Investment Nuggets and Make Money in Any Economy. She has a one-hour special coming up on September 22, 2019, called Artificial Intelligence: The Revolution Happening to Our Work and Our Lives, which will air on FOX News. The report is based on research Maria has been conducting for over a year on how Artificial Intelligence is changing the face of business and the workplace. She has traveled around and interviewed the leading technologists of the world, people like Marty Schmidt, Provost at MIT, Peter Thiel, founder of Palantir and co-founder of PayPal, Ginni Rometty, Chairman and CEO of IBM and Jim Hackett, Chairman and CEO of Ford Motors. After all of her in-depth research, what does Maria think will happen to jobs in the next 5-10 years? “I mean this is today in 2019, we have more job openings than we have people. I mean, the labor force is so tight right now with a 51-year low in unemployment, and jobs are plentiful. I think that will only get worse, whereas there won't be enough people for the jobs that we need, and the jobs that we have will be able to be filled by computers. I think longer term, you are going to see a massive displacement in work and in jobs. I think the most important thing that people have to do is first of all recognize that machines are getting smarter and smarter, and they will take your job. You need to make sure to arm yourself with the right information and education, where you are savvy with technology, because if you're not savvy with technology in the next 10 years, you will be left out.” There’s no doubt that AI is becoming smarter and smarter and implementing it into business can save money and time. It can also allow humans to get involved in more creative roles and it will free us up to do the things we actually want to do. So what can we do as individuals to prepare for the future of AI and technology? Maria says first and foremost we have to enjoy every moment of everyday because life is short and it is precious. Secondly she says that education is key. Things are changing in a rapid pace and it’s not going to slow down. We need to be perpetual learners, constantly growing, innovating, dreaming, creating, and learning so that we can keep up in this upcoming world of work. What you will learn: How Maria conducted research for her upcoming piece on Artificial Intelligence A look at the assumptions she had in her mind before she started working on this report and how they changed in the process What Maria thinks will happen to jobs in the next 5-10 years How AI and technology will specifically impact leaders Who is responsible for upskilling? Organizations or individuals? What jobs will be in demand in the future Why some CEOs are worried about AI and some are optimistic Advice for what individuals should do to prepare for the future of work
