Investor's Business Daily Expands and Enhances Print, Digital FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Investor’s Business Daily Expands and Enhances Print, Digital Features; Launches New Column by Founder William J. O’Neil LOS ANGELES (April 24, 2012) — Investor’s Business Daily (IBD) today announced changes to its print and digital editions that will make it easier for readers to find winning stocks as they emerge. IBD will also launch a new weekly column written by IBD founder and publisher, William J. O’Neil. “Since we started IBD in 1984,” O’Neil said, “we’ve had one simple goal: to show anyone willing to learn how to make money in stocks. These new changes now make it even easier for readers to succeed.” IBD is known for its unique stock screens, investor education programs like IBD® Meetups and its proprietary CAN SLIM® Investing System – the #1 growth strategy from 1998 – 2011*. For decades, investors across America and around the world have relied on IBD’s ratings and research to help determine which stocks to buy, and just as importantly, when to get into and out of the market. The enhancements announced today are the culmination of a long-term review of every aspect of the paper, in conjunction with IBD’s ongoing study of every market cycle and top-performing stock going back to 1880. “At IBD, we are always innovating and rethinking how to empower investors to succeed in the market,” said Chris Gessel, Executive Editor and Chief Strategy Officer. “These new changes are part of our ongoing mission to ensure IBD remains the #1 source for the best market research.” Key changes include: • How To Find & Own America’s Greatest Opportunities –Using actual examples of stocks that made huge advances, in his new column O’Neil will show readers how to identify potential winners and pinpoint the right time to buy – and sell. He’ll challenge the conventional wisdom that has gotten both new and experienced investors into trouble, and provide specific rules to eliminate those mistakes and build future success. • IBD 50 – IBD’s flagship list of the 50 top-rated growth stocks will now be updated on both Mondays and Wednesdays. The charts provided for each stock, many now in color, have been enlarged for easier reading. Also, the ratings and research for each IBD 50 stock has been enhanced for even quicker review. • What’s the Market Trend? Page – Readers will now get a complete snapshot of overall market trends and analysis in one convenient place. The new What’s the Market Trend? page will include: The Big Picture column that shows which of three possible stages the market is currently in; the Top 20 and Bottom 20 Industry Groups; a list of the top-performing ETFs to alert readers to sector strength; and annotated charts of the major indexes. • New Stock Screens – To focus on the most important action by the leading stocks, Best Price % Change and Most Volume % Change screens will be added to the General Markets page to highlight top-performers in each of 4 IBD screens: IBD 50, Top Sector Stocks, Stocks Just Out of Bases and Your Weekly Review. Other new screens include: Top Sector Stocks – highlights the very best-performers within a given industry sector; Stocks Pulling Back to the 10-week Line – focuses on leading stocks that may be offering additional buying opportunities. • New Article for New High List –Virtually all big winners appear in the New HighList early in their runs. To help readers spot those with the most potential, a new accompanying article will now feature analysis of key New Highs stocks on a daily basis. “Anyone can be a successful investor,” says O’Neil, who started out with just $500 in the 1950s. “But you need rules, unbiased research and time-tested education. IBD gives you all the tools required. You supply the determination.” More information about the changes can be found at http://www.investors.com/offer/splash.aspx?id=NewsChanges. * * * ABOUT INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY (IBD) Investor's Business Daily is a leading financial news and research organization recognized for proprietary stock screens, comparative performance ratings and a record of identifying stock leaders as they emerge.

  • Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today
    individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty Edited by Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. “We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion.” – Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch “Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism.

  • Shareholder Capitalism a System in Crisis New Economics Foundation Shareholder Capitalism
    SHAREHOLDER CAPITALISM A SYSTEM IN CRISIS NEW ECONOMICS FOUNDATION SHAREHOLDER CAPITALISM SUMMARY Our current, highly financialised, form of shareholder capitalism is not Shareholder capitalism just failing to provide new capital for – a system driven by investment, it is actively undermining the ability of listed companies to the interests of reinvest their own profits. The stock shareholder-backed market has become a vehicle for and market-fixated extracting value from companies, not companies – is broken. for injecting it. No wonder that Andy Haldane, Chief Economist of the Bank of England, recently suggested that shareholder capitalism is ‘eating itself.’1 Corporate governance has become dominated by the need to maximise short-term shareholder returns. At the same time, financial markets have grown more complex, highly intermediated, and similarly short- termist, with shares increasingly seen as paper assets to be traded rather than long-term investments in sound businesses. This kind of trading is a zero-sum game with no new wealth, let alone social value, created. For one person to win, another must lose – and increasingly, the only real winners appear to be the army of financial intermediaries who control and perpetuate the merry-go- round. There is nothing natural or inevitable about the shareholder-owned corporation as it currently exists. Like all economic institutions, it is a product of political and economic choices which can and should be remade if they no longer serve our economy, society, or environment. Here’s the impact

While MMT is not new, it has recently received wide- spread attention, particularly as government spending has increased dramatically in response to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis and concerns grow about how to pay for this increased spending. The essential message of MMT is that there is no financial constraint on government spending as long as a country is a sovereign issuer of cur- rency and does not tie the value of its currency to another currency. Both Canada and the US are examples of countries that are sovereign issuers of currency. In principle, being a sovereign issuer of currency endows the government with the ability to borrow money from the country’s cen- tral bank. The central bank can effectively credit the government’s bank account at the central bank for an unlimited amount of money without either charging the government interest or, indeed, demanding repayment of the government bonds the central bank has acquired. In 2020, the cen- tral banks in both Canada and the US bought a disproportionately large share of government bonds compared to previous years, which has led some observers to argue that the governments of Canada and the United States are practicing MMT.

  • This Time It's Different
    Memo to: Oaktree Clients From: Howard Marks Re: This Time It’s Different I first came across the title of this memo in an article titled “Why This Market Cycle Isn’t Different” by Anise C. Wallace in The New York Times of October 11, 1987. It went as follows: The four most dangerous words in investing are “this time it’s different,” according to John Templeton, the highly regarded 74-year-old mutual fund manager. At stock market tops and bottoms, investors invariably use this rationale to justify their emotion-driven decisions. L.P. Over the next year, many investors are likely to repeat these four words as they defend higher stock prices. But they should treat them with the same consideration they give “the check is in the mail. .” Nevertheless, in the bull market’s sixth year, the “this time it’s different” chorus is beginning to be heard. Wall Street professionals predict that, before the bull market ends, individual investors, who have mostly stayedMANAGEMENT, on the sidelines, will be swept along in the mania characterizing a market peak.

  • Investor Tax Credits and Entrepreneurship: Evidence from U.S
    Investor Tax Credits and Entrepreneurship: Evidence from U.S. States* Matthew Denes, Sabrina Howell, Filippo Mezzanotti, Xinxin Wang, and Ting Xu† August 2020 Abstract Angel investor tax credits are used around the world to spur high-growth entrepreneurship. Exploiting the staggered implementation of these tax credits in 31 U.S. states, we find that while they increase angel investment, they have no significant effect on entrepreneurial activity. Tax credits induce entry by inexperienced, local investors and are often used by insiders. A survey of 1,411 angel investors suggests that a “home run” investing approach alongside coordination frictions explain low take-up among experienced investors. The results contrast with evidence that direct subsidies to firms have large positive effects, raising concerns about using investor subsidies to promote entrepreneurship. JEL Classification: E24, G24, H71, L26 Keywords: entrepreneurship, investor tax credit, angel financing, government subsidy * This paper subsumes two prior working papers: Denes, Wang, and Xu (2019) and Howell and Mezzanotti (2019).
