  • Amazon's Antitrust Paradox
    LINA M. KHAN Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox abstract. Amazon is the titan of twenty-first century commerce. In addition to being a re- tailer, it is now a marketing platform, a delivery and logistics network, a payment service, a credit lender, an auction house, a major book publisher, a producer of television and films, a fashion designer, a hardware manufacturer, and a leading host of cloud server space. Although Amazon has clocked staggering growth, it generates meager profits, choosing to price below-cost and ex- pand widely instead. Through this strategy, the company has positioned itself at the center of e- commerce and now serves as essential infrastructure for a host of other businesses that depend upon it. Elements of the firm’s structure and conduct pose anticompetitive concerns—yet it has escaped antitrust scrutiny. This Note argues that the current framework in antitrust—specifically its pegging competi- tion to “consumer welfare,” defined as short-term price effects—is unequipped to capture the ar- chitecture of market power in the modern economy. We cannot cognize the potential harms to competition posed by Amazon’s dominance if we measure competition primarily through price and output. Specifically, current doctrine underappreciates the risk of predatory pricing and how integration across distinct business lines may prove anticompetitive. These concerns are height- ened in the context of online platforms for two reasons. First, the economics of platform markets create incentives for a company to pursue growth over profits, a strategy that investors have re- warded. Under these conditions, predatory pricing becomes highly rational—even as existing doctrine treats it as irrational and therefore implausible.

  • Characterising the Anthropocene: Ecological Degradation in Italian Twenty-First Century Literary Writing
    Characterising the Anthropocene: Ecological Degradation in Italian Twenty-First Century Literary Writing by Alessandro Macilenti A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Italian Literature. Victoria University of Wellington 2015 Abstract The twenty-first century has witnessed the exacerbation of ecological issues that began to manifest themselves in the mid-twentieth century. It has become increasingly clear that the current environmental crisis poses an unprecedented existential threat to civilization as well as to Homo sapiens itself. Whereas the physical and social sciences have been defining the now inevitable transition to a different (and more inhospitable) Earth, the humanities have yet to assert their role as a transformative force within the context of global environmental change. Turning abstract issues into narrative form, literary writing can increase awareness of environmental issues as well as have a deep emotive influence on its readership. To showcase this type of writing as well as the methodological frameworks that best highlights the social and ethical relevance of such texts alongside their literary value, I have selected the following twenty-first century Italian literary works: Roberto Saviano’s Gomorra, Kai Zen’s Delta blues, Wu Ming’s Previsioni del tempo, Simona Vinci’s Rovina, Giancarlo di Cataldo’s Fuoco!, Laura Pugno’s Sirene, and Alessandra Montrucchio’s E poi la sete, all published between 2006 and 2011. The main goal of this study is to demonstrate how these works offer an invaluable opportunity to communicate meaningfully and accessibly the discomforting truths of global environmental change, including ecomafia, waste trafficking, illegal building, arson, ozone depletion, global warming and the dysfunctional relationship between humanity and the biosphere.

    Forester Value Fund Class I Shares (FVILX) Class N Shares (FVALX) Class R Shares (FVRLX) ANNUAL REPORT MARCH 31, 2021 This report is submitted for the general information of shareholders of The Forester Funds. It is not authorized for distribution to prospective investors unless accompanied or preceded by an effective Prospectus for the Funds, which contains more information concerning the Funds' investment policies, as well as fees and expenses and other pertinent information. Read the Prospectus carefully before you invest or send money. THE FORESTER VALUE FUND LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS MARCH 31, 2021 (UNAUDITED) Dear Fellow Shareholder: The Fiscal year of 2021 was a disappointing year. The Forester Value fund was negative with the N-share returning -1.54%, the I-share -1.17% and the R-share -1.62%. The Morningstar Long/Short Category returned 28.56%, the Russell 1000 Value Index 56.09% and the S&P 500 56.35%. Our equities underperformed their respective benchmarks during the fiscal year. Our asset allocation to conservative sectors and stock selection in those sectors contributed negatively to our equity performance. We had a material overweight to the consumer staples and utilities sector which underperformed the broader market. We also had an underweight to higher beta sectors such as consumer discretionary and communication service, which outperformed the market. Growth stocks outperformed value stocks again in 2021 by around 600 basis points. Stocks such as Apple (AAPL) and Facebook make up around 10% of the S&P 500 and significantly outperformed, returning 93% and 76% respectively. These high growth stocks do not fit our investment philosophy and we will continue to avoid these types of investments.

    1 Chapter 1: Investing and the Stock Market 2 Sell in May? Article first published May 11, 2021 From decades of American stock market experience comes the saying that one should sell in May and go away. It is May and we have experienced a tremendous run up in stock prices since March, 2020, so it seems a good time to examine this old adage. There is a strong historical difference between the average returns for the six months of May through October of each year and those of November through April. From 1950 through 2016, The Stock Trader’s Almanac (Wiley, www.stocktradersalmanac.com, 2018), the average Dow Jones 30 Industrials Index rose by .4 percent in the lackluster six months and 7.6 percent for the fall to spring time frame. However, hope springs eternal and most years we are tempted to continue to slug it out in spite of the odds. But as the late, great trader/teacher, Christine “Candy” Schaap often said, Hope is not a trading strategy! If you wish to put these odds in your favor, how do you do so? First, cull out your losing positions. Most major losses are to be taken more quickly and will not improve much during a weaker market climate. Second, in your tax sheltered accounts, take profits and move money into better income producing investments. 3 Most middle-class Americans’ wealth is held in 401k and IRA accounts. Even though there is no penalty (and now often no trading cost) for selling and reallocating your accounts, most do not because they do not know what to do or do not pay enough attention to spend the time on it.
