With the benefit of hindsight – that is, in light of plunging stock markets this autumn − at least in the short term we should have advocated further caution. At this writing, the best strategy for the year would have been to continue focusing on an aggressive allocation between asset classes for a Swedish investor, thanks to the weak krona. Within asset classes, an ultra-defensive strategy would have been the best. In other words, defensive shares are the winning category for 2018. Since it is difficult to say exactly when stock market reversals will occur, a reasonable conclusion is that the average risk level in a portfolio should be kept lower today than earlier in the current economic cycle.

  • Shared Spatial Regulating in Sharing-Economy Districts
    WIDENER (DO NOT DELETE) 11/3/2015 2:56 PM Shared Spatial Regulating in Sharing-Economy Districts Michael N. Widener* ABSTRACT Digital technology, coupled with present economic conditions and the interest of younger Americans in sustainability, has enabled a climate favorable to collaborative consumption. More individuals will be engaged over time in the on-demand “sharing economy” because underemployment of the middle class, and a majority of all non- or under-skilled workers, is a chronic condition eluding ready solution. This new resources “lending” and social networking culture assures ongoing introductions of sharing producers and consumers to each other and into residential neighborhoods. The result of such engagement will include increased traffic trips, overtaxed curbside parking spaces, additional ambient noise and enhanced stress upon electric and other utility grids tapped by sharing enterprises. Since these neighborhood burdens are not addressed in the form of sales taxes or license fees directly returned to host enclaves, many of these burdens are borne largely by dwellers. Local persons not participating in the sharing economy expect their daily routines to continue without interference from unfamiliar persons, noises and odors, or the disadvantages of increased traffic and reduced curbside parking. Communities now are challenged to regulate sharing uses in this new economic order while accommodating opportunities for such enterprises to generate revenue and taxes. In one regard, accommodation invites struggles between established neighborhood dwellers and later-arriving sharing producers operating outside zoning regulations. Even so, outright prohibiting of entrepreneurial models in residential zoning districts counters local governments’ efforts to remake the economic and social landscapes of urban communities, especially those mired precariously in circumstances of joblessness, crime and other types of disorder.
