In this month’s recap: the Federal Reserve eases, stocks reach historic peaks, and face-to-face U.S.-China trade talks formally resume. Monthly Economic Update Presented by Craig Heien with Great Plains Financial Advisors, August 2019 THE MONTH IN BRIEF July was a positive month for stocks and a notable month for news impacting the financial markets. The S&P 500 topped the 3,000 level for the first time. The Federal Reserve cut the country’s benchmark interest rate. Consumer confidence remained strong. Trade representatives from China and the U.S. once again sat down at the negotiating table, as new data showed China’s economy lagging. In Europe, Brexit advocate Boris Johnson was elected as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, and the European Central Bank indicated that it was open to using various options to stimulate economic activity.1 DOMESTIC ECONOMIC HEALTH On July 31, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the first time in more than a decade. The Federal Open Market Committee approved a quarter-point reduction to the federal funds rate by a vote of 8-2.

As the country has gone ten years without a recession, some analysts viewed this rate cut as a preventative measure. -

Voluntary Delisting in Korea: Causes and Impact on Company Performance Sun Min Kang, Ph.D., Chung-Ang University, South Korea
The Journal of Applied Business Research – March/April 2017 Volume 33, Number 2 Voluntary Delisting In Korea: Causes And Impact On Company Performance Sun Min Kang, Ph.D., Chung-Ang University, South Korea ABSTRACT This research investigates the attributes of firms that choose to voluntarily delist in Korea, including the evolution of firms after delisting, using performance indicators such as total assets, revenue, and net income. Empirical evidence suggests that the higher the shareholding ratio of the largest shareholder and the higher the growth prospects and liquidity, the greater the incentive for voluntary delisting. In addition, firms in non-high-tech industries choose to delist more often than those in high-tech industries. Further, firms that have delisted show lower total assets, revenues, and net incomes than listed firms, and these gaps increase over time. Keywords: Voluntary Delisting; The Largest Shareholder Ratio; Growth Prospect; Performance INTRODUCTION elisting refers to the loss of the trading eligibility of a listed company’s marketable securities and the cancellation of a qualified listing. Generally, delisting happens under the authority of a stock exchange. When a serious management problem occurs (e.g., bankruptcy) and investors incur losses, Dor when there is a risk of undermining the order of the stock market, the stock exchange will delist a company that meets the delisting criteria in order to protect investors, unless the reason for delisting is resolved during a certain grace period. Alternatively, a company may voluntarily delist itself through the public purchase of treasury stock. Many unlisted companies undertake an initial public offering (IPO) to obtain funding without debt by issuing shares, despite the complicated conditions and procedures of IPOs. -
