Seeking Alpha: 3 Fortress REITs To Own During The New Era Of Physical Distancing.
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4339929-3-fortress-reits-to-own-during-new-era-of-physical-distancing?utm_source=news.google.com&utm_medium=referral
Consider investing in only the highest-quality companies with the best balance sheets and great management teams.
It’s a strategy that has worked very well for Warren Buffett and his followers over the years.
We believe that our three A-rated picks will eventually generate sound price appreciation as their underlying business models are all built to last.
There’s a line from the classic film Princess Bride that goes, “Goodbye, boys! Have fun storming the castle!”
It’s a satirical line from a satirical movie, with one character turning to another to ask, “Think it’ll work?”
The response is, “It would take a miracle.”
If you’ve seen the movie even just once, you can probably easily envision the whole scene, including the joviality at the start of the very brief conversation and the sardonic certainty at the end. (If you haven’t, you’ll just have to take my word for it.)
But the truth is that castle storming back in the day was supposed to be a long shot. Only extreme levels of planning, plotting, and resources could pull them down.
They were built to be fortresses, strategically designed with features such as:
Arrowslits – Holes up high in the structures from which archers could let their weapons loose while remaining largely protected.
Keeps – Towers that rose as high up as possible to give great views of whatever might be coming.
Moats – Water-filled trenches that armies couldn’t easily cross unless a bridge was procured.
Portcullises – Heavy metal gates to protect main entrances.
Barbicans – Fortresses outside of the fortress designed to be the first line of defense.
Really, that last word, “defense,” sums up their strategy. The lords who commissioned them took every precaution possible to protected what was theirs.

A Model Worth Following
Dr. Dan Spencer, author of The Castle at War in Medieval England and Wales, writes on Military History Now:
“In their day, medieval castles represented the state-of-art in military engineering.
“Erected by kinds and feudal lords during what we now commonly call the Middle Ages, these foreboding strongholds… were defensive in nature, being skillfully designed to resist attacks by armies many times larger than those manning its parapets.
“But of course, a castle was only ever as strong as its weakest point. As such, great efforts were made by builders to ensure that their castles could withstand an enemy onslaught.”
Some of them did a phenomenal job of it too, as evidenced by their still-standing structures today. Google “castles to visit today” or some such thing, and you’ll no doubt find plenty of places around the world.
Of course, considering how land invasions aren’t nearly as popular as they used to be, castles are admittedly a little passé. They’re great to bring in tourist revenue, it’s true. But they don’t present the same awe-inspiring military deterrent now that planes and bombs and battleships exist.
Even so, that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate the concept they were built on. Warren Buffett certainly does, has, and no doubt will. He’s long-since been promising a “financial fortress” for investors in his Berkshire Hathaway(NYSE:BRK.A) (NYSE:BRK.B) fund.
By that, he means he invests in only the highest-quality companies with the best balance sheets and great management teams.
It’s a strategy that’s worked very well for him and his followers over the years. And it’s one I’ve seen significant success in as well.

The Value of a Properly Fortified Fortress
For the record, I know about the news story currently circulating on most major financial sites: “Warren Buffett’s ‘Fortress’ Is Breached by Coronavirus-Related Shutdowns.” It starts out:
“Even as market watchers await Warren Buffett’s splashy move to seize on fallout from the current crisis, his Berkshire Hathaway Inc. hasn’t been spared by the pandemic.
“Coronavirus-related shutdowns across the U.S. have hit Berkshire units from See’s Candies and a shoemaker to industrial behemoth Precision Castparts. That could leave a few scars on the conglomerate…
“Buffett’s business partner, Charlie Munger, put it bluntly. ‘We’ve got a few businesses, small ones, we won’t reopen when this is over,’ he told The Wall Street Journal without naming the units.”
But here’s the thing. Fortresses don’t promise they’ll never get cracked by a battering ram or chipped by flying projectiles. As the article above – and every single castle throughout history – indicates, damage can be done.
For that matter, they don’t even promise they can withstand absolutely everything that comes their way. Nothing can, as proven by Krak des Chevaliers, an epic, all-but-invincible Crusader castle in Syria, that was surrendered, not by force, but by siege and, perhaps, a forged letter.
They only have the best chances around, which is why Bloomberg acknowledged:
“To be sure, Buffett’s promise that Berkshire will ‘forever remain a financial fortress’ hasn’t been broken yet. The company reported a $128 billion cash pile at the end of last year, as well as a stock portfolio valued at more than $248 billion.
Besides, “Some of its biggest revenue generators remain on solid footing.” And its similarly solid footing we’re looking for today through our own “revenue generators” in the REIT sector.
The companies below have plenty of cash on hand with significant chances of making plenty more cash in the future.
Here’s what they have to say for themselves.

3 A-Rated REITs We’re Buying Today
One of the good things about being a financial writer in the REIT sector is that we have tons or research at our disposal. This includes data from Seeking Alpha, Sentieo, FAST Graphs, and the wide world of Google. It’s very useful to have all of this information because it provides us with the most actionable intelligence to support our buy-hold-sell recommendations.
Given the latest COVID-19 risks we have carefully evaluated our entire REIT spectrum in order to model the impacts related to rent collection and future earnings. Accordingly, there are a number of REITs that we have downgraded to either Speculative, Hold, or Sell as we anticipate future dividend cuts and or suspensions.
We’re all living in unprecedented times and while strong balance sheets are essential to any business operation, we consider cash flow the primary test as it relates to dividend sustainability. That being said, we decided to focus the content today on three A-rated REITs that support our Buy or Strong Buy recommendation.
These three REITs appear on our list because we believe their dividend is safe and that the shares can be purchased at a reasonable margin of safety. We recently downgraded Simon Property (SPG) to a Spec Buy, and we plan to address this name in a detailed article later this week.
Our first pick on the list is Public Storage (PSA), a self-storage REIT whose capital structure is nearly bulletproof because it utilizes perpetual preferreds instead of debt (no refinancing risk). Its business model is one that is consistent through business cycles and its management has shown themselves to be immensely talented.
PSA is unique in the REIT industry (actually, virtually unique compared to any company) in that its capital structure is overwhelmingly comprised of common and preferred stock - debt is a measly 3%. PSA is the largest REIT issuer of preferred stock and has mastered its use in the capital structure. It’s this use that has created the fortress known as their balance sheet.
Income investors often recognize the security and performance available with the purchase of PSA, but are often turned away by the low dividend yield. However, thanks to the Covid-19 inspired pullback, PSA’s dividend yield is now 4.3% with a P/FFO handle of 17.4x.
To be clear, we don’t view PSA as a Strong Buy today, but we’re glad we included shares in the Cash Is King portfolio (just a Buy). We like the business model, and while the summer months could be challenging with lease-up (due to stay at home rules) we have a high degree of certainty that customers will continue to use storage in the weeks and months ahead.

Source: FAST Graphs
Our next fortress pick is Realty Income (O), the monthly paying bellwether that has become the staple for many retirees and income-oriented investors.
The primary reason that O has sold off (-31.9% total return year-to-date) is because of the company’s exposure to theaters (6.7%) and gyms (7%). Given the elevated risk of tenant defaults, specifically bankruptcies, it’s likely that certain stores may close, and Realty Income’s payout ratio could narrow.
We believe that Realty Income’s payout ratio – which is in the low 80s now – is adequate to handle the short-term shock to earnings. Essentially, we’d agree with the CEO’s optimism when he said that, “We feel very good about our liquidity situation: our ability to continue to pay the dividend and grow the dividend.”
Importantly, we also feel comfortable that Realty Income has an impressive A-rated balance sheet. The company is the only net lease REIT with an A-rated balance sheet and has protected its fortress balance sheet by strengthening its liquidity position by drawing down $1.2 billion (bringing the cash balance to $1.25 billion). There’s around $1.2 billion of capacity remaining on the $3 billion revolver (with an accordion of another $1 billion).
It’s important to recognize that Realty Income has around 50% of investment-grade rated tenants and we believe this investment policy (focusing on quality) will pay dividends during the next few months. Realty Income also has the least exposure to private equity-backed tenants and this provides us with a higher degree of confidence that Realty Income’s tenant base will keep paying rent.
Furthermore, and I cannot emphasize this enough, Realty Income is the most diversified net lease REIT and while certain sectors (like theaters and gyms) could put temporary pressure on the payout ratio, Realty Income is in the best position (of all net lease REITs) to weather the storms.
Shares are now yielding 5.7% with a P/FFO multiple of 14.8x (-30% below normal range). We are maintaining a Strong Buy at this time.

Source: FAST Graphs
Our final fortress pick is Federal Realty (FRT), one of just two shopping center REITs on our buy list.
FRT’s balance sheet is by far one of the strongest in its industry, as illustrated by its (1) net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of 5.5x, its fixed-charge coverage ratio of 4.2x, its weighted-average debt maturity of ~10 years (near the top of the sector) and its weighted average interest rate of 3.8%.
FRT ended 2019 with over $127 million in cash on its balance sheet – up from just $64 million a year ago and management said it has no outstanding balance on a recently expanded $1 billion credit facility.
While FRT is known for its retail exposure, it's important to remind readers that the company has diversified its business model to include a variety of profit centers including:
Residential – 11%
Office – 9%
Fitness, health, beauty – 9%
Discount Apparel – 9%
Full-service restaurant – 9%
Full-service apparel – 8%
Grocery – 7%

Strategic Portfolio Investments and Financial Performance of Ecobank Rwanda Ltd. by Jean Bosco Harelimana in Open Access journal of Biogeneric Science and Research
Tumblr media
Abstract The study aims to analyze the strategic portfolio investments and financial performance of Ecobank Rwanda Ltd. The study assessed why some investments perform well while others fail to produce return and revenues to the investor. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used, measuring risk and return, financial analysis, as basic tools for portfolio management. Purposive Sampling with Ecobank was chosen and four years as observations. Ecobank’s investments portfolio is mainly composed by Financial Investments (FI) of 16.24%; Investments with other Banking Institutions (IBI) of 24.71% and investments in Loans and Advances to Customers (LAC) of 59.06%. Portfolio covariance in this research equals to negative result of (2,896.16. Portfolio expected return of 21%. The negative covariance of Ecobank assets means their returns move in contrariwise directions, thus can be put in the same portfolio and the portfolio risk could be diversified or decreased. With zero (0.0143) correlation coefficient, there is no linear relationship between the returns of Ecobank assets, thus combining those assets reduces the risk portfolio. Out of every RWF 1 invested, Ecobank portfolio generates RWF 0.10 (10%), loans and advances to customers on the top of other assets generating RWF 0.14 (14%) per every RWF 1 invested in. Moreover, there is a significance effect of strategic portfolio investments (FI, IBI and LAC) on financial performance (ROA, ROE and ROI). The overall negative performance of Ecobank Rwanda during 2016-2019 is mainly affected by other factors such as high total operating expenses (Appendix No1); thus costs optimization is one of the main key decisions for the company (Ecobank Rwanda Ltd)’s positive performance (generate revenues to shareholders). Keywords: Strategic portfolio investments; Financial performance Abbreviations: FI: Financial Investments; LAC: Loans and Advances to Customers; IBI: Investments with other Banking Institutions; FBE: Financial Bubble Experiment; FCO: Financial Crisis Observatory; ROE: Return on Equity; ALCO: Assets and Liability Committee; LAC: Loans and Advances to Customers Introduction Campbell [1] discussed about inter-temporal portfolio choice and asset pricing, it found that the households in United States of America make investment mistakes such as failing to participate in risky asset markets or failing to diversify their risks and the potential impact of such mistakes on asset price. It realized that investors choose not to share risks in the United States because they have different beliefs that lead them to speculate against one another. The investors in the United States need a quick return on investment. Around 36% of projects in the United states did not achieve on their original goals because of inefficient portfolio management by senior managers who change priorities implemented for project that result to poor performance of investment among institutions. Sornette [2] showed that the financial crisis was caused by the crash of the new investment opportunities either new technology or access to new market. They start with a so called smart money without any real underlying value and end up by collapsing- financial bubbles. Sornette [2] showed that 25, 000 assets worldwide, including indices, stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies and derivatives have showed a daily update of a number of bubble indicators. The Financial Bubble Experiment (FBE) was conducted by the Experts from the Financial Crisis Observatory (FCO) at ETC Zurich- the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology where David Sornette who is both the Professor of Entrepreneurial Risks and the Professor of Finance at The Swiss Finance Institute. This Experiment was organized to testify if the financial markets exhibit a degree of inefficiency and a potential predictability. In Lithuania, the investor can make diversification either by having a large number of shares of companies in different regions, in different industries or those producing different types of product lines. There are many different ways to measure financial performance, but all measures should be taken in aggregation. Line items such as revenue from operations, operating income or cash flow from operations can be used, as well as total unit sales. Furthermore, the analyst or investor may wish to look deeper into financial statements and seek out margin growth rates or any declining debt [3]. In the United Arab Emirates, Saltuk & Idrissi [4] believed that investors can enhance the performance of their pure-stock portfolios by incorporating different options strategies. Among them, the most popular strategies are covered-call writing and protective-put buying. In theory, there is no clear evidence on whether a specific option strategy is superior. According to Saltuk & Idrissi [4] the efficient market theory, an increase in returns should be accompanied by an increase in risk. Adding options to stock portfolios may also create problems of performance measurement homogeneity. Hedging is a financial transaction in which one asset is held to offset the risk of holding another asset. Typically, a hedge is used to offset price risk due to changes of financial market conditions. In this way, the development of financial derivative instruments (options, futures, forward and swap) make hedgers simple to use it to reduce risk. However, many portfolio managers use these derivative instruments to speculate instead of hedging and in turn increase risk. This study explained how portfolio hedged risk in investment and gave optimum return to a given amount of risk at Ecobank Ltd. It also showed different investment decisions made by Ecobank Rwanda Ltd and focused on element of risk in detail while investing in securities. It also gave an in depth analysis of portfolio creation, selection, revision and evaluation. But in reality it was compared to the strategy, and ultimately to the benchmark, they are designed to beat. One can also gauge Portfolio Performance by measuring returns. Performance measurement was an important task for both investors and investment managers at Ecobank Rwanda Ltd. Portfolio Management Strategies referred to the approaches that were applied for the efficient portfolio management in order to generate the highest possible returns at lowest possible risks in Ecobank Rwanda Ltd. Objectives The general objective of this study is to analyze the strategic portfolio investments on financial performance of financial institutions in Rwanda focusing on the following specific objectives:       a. To examine the effect of strategic portfolio investments on Return of Assents of ECOBANK Rwanda Ltd       b. To assess the effect of strategic portfolio investments on Return on Equity of ECOBANK Rwanda Ltd        c. To analyze the effect of strategic portfolio investments on Return of Investments of ECOBANK Rwanda Ltd.
Literature Review Fachrudin & Fachrudin conducted a cross-sectional study on 45 real estates and property companies which had securities in Indonesia Stock Exchange with the aim of analyzing the property portfolio and sustainability of property and real estate companies. The study was quantitative and used secondary data from asset enhancement, flats, land lots, shopping centers, deport, shop, houses apartments property return and investment properties. In this study, investment properties were consider as properties and infrastructures that companies owned to earn rentals or capital appreciation or both. Findings showed that property portfolio and sustainability are not statistically significant(r=0.597; p-value=0.000). This implied that there is no association between property portfolio and return on asset. In short, risk do not predict the expected return in property investment with alpha 5%. The regression analysis showed that the model to analyze sustainability property was acceptable and suitable (p-value of 0.004; Exp (B) of 2.958). The model to analyze property portfolio was also acceptable and suitable (p-value of 0.002; Exp (B) of 3.339). It implied that 15 companies create sustainability while 30 companies didn’t in Indonesia. Sustainable property companies are those which were environmentally friendly, saving energy, and reducing running cost including green buildings. In short, the company size predict at 73.3% its sustainability concept. The corporate performance was predicted by the inventory of property and investment properties which generate revenue. Findings showed that the highest return was from the asset enhancement and the lowest expected return was from hospitality services and infrastructure. Table [5] made a theoretical analysis on how managers should adopt the useful managerial tool using an empirical analysis with PROMETHEE technique of qualitative analysis of the information collected from 17 customers of Persian Bank. They were selected using the purposing sampling technique based on their expertise in corporate banking. A semi-structured interview were conducted in 2007 to verify the level of agreement on the proposed model for customers’ business attractiveness, strategic importance of customers, the complexity and difficulty of managing each customer. His objective was to create the model for classifying relationship between corporate banks and their customers in an optimized way with considerations of network approach. He reviewed the literature on the relationship portfolio models, Network Theory and Business Banking Relationship. Talebi [5] concluded that Iranian banking industry was experiencing a more competitive market after the entrance of private banks to the market.

Now There Are Four at the Table
Tumblr media
We have a fourth player at the publicly traded pure-play residential brokerage poker table – Fathom – and it looks eerily similar to eXp in many ways and strikingly different in other ways. Of the four, Fathom, eXp, and Redfin market themselves as tech-enabled brokers of varying flavors while Realogy continues to roll out technology solutions for its agent base.
Similarities between Fathom and eXp 
The founding CEO’s at both firms hold the majority interest in their respective companies.  It’s hard to tell at this point if that’s good or bad but now we have two data points in any discussion of future 10-Q’s and 10-K’s.  They both also claim to have a nationwide footprint depending on how one defines “nationwide”.
I’d like to say that both could morph into BaaS models but for now Fathom is a 100% agent commission broker while eXp’s operation is a hybrid model in which an agent has to sell probably 6 properties assuming an average selling price of $275K and a 5% broker commission before collecting a 100% commission. Both companies market themselves as cloud-based brokers but as noted further down, technology can’t turn red into black.
Fathom’s S-1 was filed with the apparent intent to offer 13 million shares of its 46.7 million shares and according to this Seeking Alpha article and its S-1, Fathom is looking to raise approximately $14 million in the IPO and “selling shareholders intend to sell up to $1.5 million worth of shares in the offering.”  Straight from the cover page and elsewhere in its S-1, Fathom’s projected midpoint price for its IPO is ONE DOLLAR PER SHARE. While eXp’s stock price also started out at around $1, they have survived thanks in part to the inside ownership who have stayed the course for the most part.
Differences Between Them
Unfortunately for Fathom, it had $3.5 million in long-term debt as of last September 30. Contrast that with eXp’s most recent 10-K annual filing in which eXp had about $1.8 million debt on its books. This difference is magnified by the fact that eXp’s revenue rate is at least 10 times that of Fathom so its debt-to-revenue ratio is a small fraction of Fathom’s – a huge difference.
Then there’s this from Fathom’s S-1:
Translated, this means that Fathom has spent a LOT of money on payroll and apparently had to sell over another million shares in a recent private placement to have enough working capital at the end of 2019. Not good.  eXp has the same issue with its G&A costs but again, their scale is about 10 times that of Fathom and its stock price definitely looks more attractive to agents and investors than Fathom’s $1 per share.
Looking Ahead
As Fathom will undoubtedly experience at the outset of its publicly traded life, eXp also has the issue of posting net losses quarter after quarter and analysts estimate a loss of $.08 per share. The expectation by some analysts is that increasing scale will eventually bring eXp consistent profitability. Maybe we’ll see that in its next few quarterly reports. For now, eXp needs to get its G&A costs under control or it will burn chips at a rate that will require them to take a loan out to get more chips from the house.
Fathom is basically trying to break into the publicly traded ranks using a branded version of the BaaS model currently being operated by Side. The big difference is that Side has $36 million in VC funding to achieve its vision of a BaaS model while Fathom doesn’t have anywhere near that according to its S-1. Adding it all up, Fathom has few chips and is holding few if any face cards, making for a likely early exit from this table.
What About The Other Two?
Realogy has the scale but also has previously noted problems with its significant debt load and deteriorating commission splits. Even with its announcement of its CRM offering, Realogy is still confronted with the same issues as all the other larger brokers and franchisors who have also invested millions in technology that they say will differentiate them from the competition. Analysts estimate a profit of $.09 per share for Q4 2019, so it looks like Realogy still has face cards to play. Its problem is that it owes the house a lot of money for the chips it is playing with, a debt that is coming due in the near future.
The exemplar of the employee-as-agent business model, Redfin, will report its Q4 numbers on February 13 and analysts are projecting a loss of $.12 per share. Notwithstanding another expected loss as well for Q1 of 2020, Redfin does have a couple cards to play – its version of iBuying and its nascent mortgage origination business. The question there is whether they are face cards, deuces, or somewhere in between. They’ve been betting their chips on technology and nationwide marketing. Another 12-18 months will let us know where they stand.
The irony of all this is that the jury is still out on the long term prospects for all four of them.
The Other Tables in the Room
There are at least four other tables with players at them – the franchisor table, the small broker table, the real estate vendor table, and a table with players best described as brokers who are subsidiaries of publicly traded companies whose primary business is NOT real estate. It’s pretty self-explanatory who sits at these tables although Zillow may switch tables in 2020.
The one that everyone likes to watch, though, is the publicly traded broker table. Bluffs don’t work at this table, all four of them have to show their cards after every hand, and the number of chips being held by each player makes a big difference. The next few 10-Q’s will reveal who wins and who loses at this table.

AYA Analytica financial health memo January 2019
As of January 2019, this regular podcast is available on our Andy Yeh Alpha fintech network platform.
U.S. government shuts down again because House Democrats refuse to spend $5 billion on the border wall. U.S. government shuts down again because House Democrats refuse to spend $5 billion on the border wall that would give President Trump victory on his best-known policy. No other OECD democracy experiences abrupt government shutdowns. Should the current U.S. government shutdown be about policy differences, House Democrats would be able to achieve a compromise deal with the Trump administration. However, this congressional standoff is about presidential authority. President Trump must win this battle; otherwise, he would allow House Democrats to constrain his presidential power. A major concern is that President Trump may use his national emergency power to build the southern steel border wall. In this worse-case scenario, the eventual degradation of good government may continue. In reality, the current U.S. government shutdown happens not because America is in turmoil: the country is not at war; the economy operates near full employment; and even Fed Chair Jerome Powell praises the robust economic outlook with low inflation and high productivity growth. The current U.S. government shutdown happens because President Trump has to fulfill one of the most controversial campaign promises that his fervent followers favor. When the U.S. government reopens, Congress and the Trump administration can revisit the comprehensive issues of both border security and immigration reform without having to inflict financial pain on public employees in the specific form of furlough or work without pay.
Sino-American trade talks make positive progress over 3 consecutive days. Sino-American trade talks make positive progress over 3 consecutive days as S&P 500 and non-U.S. stock market indices post 3-day win streaks. Asian and European stock markets reap sharp gains primarily due to cautious optimism over the results of complete trade negotiations between China and America. In this light, stock market analysts view these trade talks as serious and productive because these talks extend to the third day with some concrete trade war resolution. The 3-day trade negotiations between mid-level Sino-U.S. senior reps end on a positive note and also help clear the way for subsequent higher-level trade talks. All of these joint effects aim to avert a major escalation of the Sino-U.S. trade war in early-March 0219. The Xi administration pledges to buy more U.S. goods and further seeks to improve the best practices on Chinese intellectual property protection. These trade talks can help reduce the Sino-American trade deficit by a substantial dollar amount. The Trump administration emphasizes the clear intention to ensure Chinese compliance with *continual verification and effective enforcement*. Meanwhile, the Trump administration continues to restrict Chinese investments in critical technology transfers from U.S. tech titans such as Apple, Amazon, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Qualcomm etc.
Americans continue to keep their financial New Year resolutions. Americans continue to keep their financial New Year resolutions. First, Americans should save more money. Everyone needs a budget to ensure that regular paychecks outweigh cash expenses. Second, Americans need extra money to pay off credit card debt. More than 44 million Americans take on second gigs to help eliminate credit card debt (about $16,000 per capita). Third, Americans should spend less. Millennials need to reduce disproportionate expenditures on utility and leisure. Fourth, U.S. workers below 50-years-old can save $18,500 per year toward their 401(k) retirement accounts. Socking away $300 per month for 30 years can accumulate $285,000 with a conservative 6% average annual return. Fifth, Americans need to build their own emergency funds. About 57% of U.S. adults have less than $1,000 in their bank accounts, and 39% have no emergency funds at all. Americans should aim to achieve these New Year resolutions for better financial freedom. Fed Chair Jerome Powell suggests that FOMC members need to be *patient to wait-and-watch* before they hike the interest rate again. The U.S. central bank continues to cash in public debt-near-maturity to attain a substantially smaller balance sheet. Stock market analysts foresee the next interest rate hike around mid-2019 as Federal Reserve governors raise their dovish tones.
With majority control, House Democrats pass 2 bills to reopen the U.S. government without funding the Trump border wall. With majority control, House Democrats pass 2 bills to reopen the U.S. government without funding the Trump border wall. President Trump makes a surprise White House appearance to reiterate his intention to keep up the fight for the signature campaign promise of a southern border wall against Mexico. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi states that both President Trump and Republican Senate should take yes for an answer to approve the 2 bills without border wall finance. If President Trump and Republican Senate pass these bills, federal agencies would receive public finance to end the partial government shutdown. Several House Republicans break with the Trump administration and vote in favor of reopening the U.S. government without any border wall tax. It is unlikely for President Trump and Republican Senate to accept this outcome without any form of border wall finance. However, the Trump administration may need to realign stock market investor and taxpayer expectations with less than $5 billion public finance for the southern border wall. In the ultimate best-case scenario, both parties need to compromise on this public finance issue. Otherwise President Trump, Republican Senate, and House Democrats would bear responsibility for public outrage in light of the current government shutdown.
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) continues to track major business risks in light of volatile stock markets. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) continues to track major business risks in light of volatile stock markets, elections, and geopolitics. EIU monitors geopolitical uncertainty and market-and-credit risks in 180 countries. At the global level, EIU describes several persistent business risks. These risks include the Sino-U.S. trade war, oil supply contraction, and macrofinancial contagion from Turkey and Argentina. As the Sino-U.S. trade talks take place at the deputy secretary level, stock market indices from Dow Jones to NASDAQ and S&P500 show hefty gains 3%-5% in early-January 2019. Stock market investors hope these deputy dialogues to reach some form of compromise for better Sino-U.S. trade war resolution. Also, oil prices are likely to surge when OPEC countries cut their current oil supply. This oil price hike can cause inflationary concerns in most OECD countries. Several emerging-economies may suffer near-term stock market gyrations due to oil supply contraction and financial contagion from Turkey and Argentina. The latest EIU report sheds fresh light on the biggest business risks as of early-January 2019: Trump economic sanctions on Iran, social unrest in in Nicaragua, and corruption and tax policy uncertainty in Lithuania. In contrast, Nepal and Egypt receive lower risk scores due to political stability, macroeconomic momentum, and gradual currency devaluation.
The recent Bristol-Myers Squibb acquisition of American Celgene is the $90 billion biggest biotech deal in history. The recent Bristol-Myers Squibb acquisition of American Celgene is the $90 billion biggest biotech deal in history. The resultant biopharma goliath would become an oncology powerhouse with $8 billion blockbuster medications. Celgene share price surges 21% as Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) announces this acquisition. When the deal closes, Celgene shareholders would receive one BMS share, $50 in cash for each Celgene share, and one tradeable contingent value right for each share of Celgene. This contingent value right entitles its holder to receive a one-time potential payment of $9 in cash upon FDA approval of all 3 key medications of ozanimod (31 December 2020), liso-cel (31 December 2020) and bb2121 (31 March 2021). BMS already owns a rich portfolio of blockbuster medications. These medications include the top-selling PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor Opdivo, the leukemia drug Sprycel, the melanoma drug Yervoy, the multiple-myeloma drugs Revlimid and Pomalyst, and the pancreatic cancer medicine Abraxane. These medications generate about $5.9 billion revenue in 2018Q3. These landmark medications position BMS as the market-share leader in immune-oncology and hematology. The BMS specialty market niche and patent portfolio collectively create competitive moats for the new biopharma goliath in comparison to Johnson & Johnson, Merck, Pfizer, Roche, and Novartis etc.
Apple revises down its global sales revenue estimate to $83 billion due to subpar smartphone sales in China. Apple revises down its global revenue estimate to $83-$85 billion due to subpar smartphone sales in China. Apple CEO Tim Cook points out the fact that he cannot blame external factors for selling fewer iPhones during the holiday quarter. However, Apple fails to acknowledge the real possibility that the current iPhone prices may be too high. Apple iPhone prices are about 5 times higher than the average non-iOS smartphones sold by HuaWei, Oppo, and Vivo. The high-end smartphone market may be fully mature with longer replacement cycles. This tech trend poses a major long-term challenge to Apple. There are at least 3 solutions to weaker global demand for Apple iPhones. First, Apple can broaden the scope of short-term programs for renting pricey iPhones. These rental programs can help transform high-end Apple iPhones into more affordable options. Second, Apple can consider introducing new media services in addition to Apple Music. Apple can apply the profitable business models of iTunes and App Store to real-time video streams, games, and other entertainment outlets. Third, Apple can take advantage of offshore cash repatriation to fund new acquisitions of media service providers. These solutions accord with the prior Apple business goal of growing media services to quadruple their sales and profits.
Federal Reserve normalizes the current interest rate hike to signal its own independence from the White House. President Trump forces the Federal Reserve to normalize the current interest rate hike to signal its own independence from the White House. There are at least 3 root causes of the current neutral interest rate hike. First, the real interest rate is remarkably low around the zero lower bound when the CPI inflation rate is about 2.2% and the U.S. federal funds rate lands in the target range of 2%-2.25%. This near-zero real interest rate can cause serious problems. For instance, firms respond to the low cost of capital by taking on excessive private debt. Banks reach for higher yields by lending to high-risk borrowers with some deterioration in credit standards. Institutional investors can lever up to boost stock market prices to unsustainably high levels. The government tends to run fiscal deficits because the debt-servicing cost is relatively low. These credit supply changes can sow the seeds of the next economic recession.
Second, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) can normalize the current interest rate hike such that the U.S. central bank gains greater instrumental bandwidth to deal with the next financial downturn. At subsequent stages of the real business cycle, the FOMC can apply gradual downward interest rate adjustments as the neutral interest rate allows the U.S. economy to operate near full employment with inflation containment. The current U.S. unemployment is 3.7%, and the FOMC expects the long-term sustainable unemployment rate to be about 4.4%. In the rosy picture of 3%-3.5% real GDP economic growth, the FOMC has to gradually introduce interest rate increases to prevent 2.2% CPI inflation from becoming a major economic disturbance. In light of one rate increase per quarter throughout 2018, the FOMC expects to raise the interest rate twice in 2019.
Third, the Federal Reserve now needs to normalize the current interest rate hike to signal its own independence from the White House. International evidence shows that monetary policy independence helps better curb inflation with steady gains in real GDP growth, productivity, capital investment, and domestic employment. Fed Chair Jerome Powell needs to continue interest rate increases to achieve a reasonable New Keynesian trade-off between inflation and unemployment (although he receives several criticisms from President Trump in recent times). Overall, the Federal Reserve has to maintain the current hawkish monetary policy pace in response to several economic headwinds from Trump tax cuts and tariffs to higher public expenditures and health care costs.
Neoliberal public choice continues to spin national taxation and several other forms of government intervention. Neoliberal public choice continues to spin national taxation and several other forms of government intervention. The post-crisis consensus focuses on government intervention as the root cause of socioeconomic malaise in several OECD countries. Ideology continues to inform public policy, and neoliberalism specifically advocates a minimal role for the state in economic affairs such as taxation, health care, infrastructure, and immigration. Neoliberal public choice emphasizes regulatory failures rather than historical country-specific experiences. The sheer predominance of utilitarian myopia reflects fundamental misconceptions about the proper economic role of government. Contrary to the post-crisis consensus, active strategic public-sector investment is critical to both economic revival and financial stability. The state should act as an investor of first resort, rather than a lender of last resort, for great technological advances and revolutions in finance, energy, transport, medicine, and information communication. The government can indeed learn much from the best business minds of Warren Buffet and George Soros in finance, Elon Musk in energy and autonomous transport, Peter Diamandis and James Brewer in medicine and health care, and Steve Jobs, Tim Cook, Bill Gates, Larry Page, and Jeff Bezos in information communication technology. Effective capitalism calls for facilitative state involvement in economic governance and regulation.
President Trump signs an executive order to freeze federal employee pay in early-2019. President Trump issues an executive order to freeze federal employee pay in early-2019. U.S. federal employees face furlough or work without pay due to the partial government shutdown. President Trump further pours salt into the wound by signing an executive order that freezes federal pay for about 2 million public employees in early-2019. In effect, this executive order cancels the 2.1% pay increase for 2 million non-military federal workers, whereas, the same order cannot affect the 2.6% pay increase for military servants and soldiers. This strategic move expands the prior Trump claim that he *would be proud to shut down the government for better border security*. Specifically, President Trump demands $5 billion public finance for the southern border wall. The wall can improve the domestic quality of health care, education, and other public services for U.S. residents. The $5 billion border wall tax thus becomes essential for overall domestic welfare in America. On the other side of the same story, however, this executive order serves as a key Trump tactic that tilts Congress toward political compromise. The negotiation contributes to the Trump presidential campaign promise of better border security although most Americans blame President Trump for the recent government shutdown.
Reuters polls show that most Americans blame President Trump for the recent U.S. government shutdown. Reuters polls show that most Americans blame President Trump for the recent U.S. government shutdown. President Trump remains adamant about having to shut down the U.S. government in order to acquire at least $5 billion public finance for the southern border wall. This border wall tax helps fulfill one of his presidential campaign promises on U.S. immigration, which has long been a major source of diverse vitality for the American dream. The Trump intransigence is illustrative of his broader political philosophy, which often hinges on performing for the Republican base (rather than gauging the popular mood of the whole country). The rapid rise of President Donald Trump has been the natural result of his inclination toward political tribalism. This tribalism often leads Trump to design policies in a consistent way that places his political prospects squarely on the fervent loyalty of fellow Republicans. After losing House majority control to Democrats in the November 2018 midterm elections, President Trump entrenches himself and mocks the moderate Republican losers instead of expressing contrition or pledging to collaborate with Democrats. The same strategy works wonders for President Trump as 75% of Republicans favor building the border wall despite declining approval in the general polls.
Chinese President Xi JingPing calls President Trump to reach Sino-American trade conflict resolution. Chinese President Xi calls President Trump to reach Sino-U.S. trade war resolution. Xi sends a congratulatory message to mark 40 years since the progressive normalization of diplomatic relations between China and America. Cooperation is the best choice for both sides in light of bilateral trade history. As Xi politely urges the Trump administration to compromise on the current bilateral trade standoff, Xi attempts to avert the unilateral U.S. imposition of hefty tariffs on Chinese goods. This reconciliatory gesture serves as a mild response to the prior Trump trade battle plan of raising 10%-to-25% tariffs on $200+ million Chinese goods. Trump tariffs harm the Chinese economy because the Shanghai-and-Shenzhen composite stock market indices plunge double-digits with subpar 6.5% real GDP economic growth in 2018. During the current 90-day trade truce, both teams hope to reach an eventual trade agreement that would benefit both countries as early as possible. The presidents express their goodwill to implement Sino-U.S. trade concessions made on the G20 summit sidelines in 2018Q4. As U.S. trade rep Robert Lighthizer characterizes the risks of allowing China to join the World Trade Organization, trade alone cannot douse the flames of international rivalry, whereas, economic prosperity often contributes to bilateral conflict.
American parents often worry about money and upward mobility for their children. American parents worry about money and upward mobility for their children. A recent New York Times survey suggests that nowadays American parents spend more time, effort, and money raising their kids. Merrill Lynch reports that the average cost of raising a child to 18 years old tops $230,000. The same report also suggests that 79% of American parents continue to provide financial support to their adult children. Costs for food, school, transportation, technology, entertainment, and other activities typically increase as children grow older. Also, 69% of parents admit to feeling pressure and even anxiety to give their children what their peers have. There is a key element of competition, peer pressure, or *keeping up with the Joneses* that entices parents to spend more money on their children. Economic prosperity motivates these parents to help ensure that their children are financially better off than the previous generations. A recent empirical study by the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis demonstrates that millennials face unique financial struggles. These financial struggles include higher unemployment rates, stagnant wages, less affordable residential properties, and student debt imbalances. Millennials are now at risk of becoming a *lost generation* that collectively accumulates less wealth during their lifetime.
New York Fed CEO John Williams listens to sharp share price declines as part of the data-dependent interest rate policy. New York Fed CEO John Williams listens to sharp share price declines as part of the data-dependent interest rate policy. The Federal Reserve can respond to stock market plunges, but most FOMC members still view the U.S. economy as sufficiently strong to grow with higher interest rates. Williams emphasizes softening the central bank language that the next 2 semi-annual rate hikes are only economic projections. The upward rate trajectory is not a matter of right-or-wrong with Wall Street, and the central bank cannot be on autopilot at this stage of the current macro business cycle. Williams expects U.S. GDP to slow to 2%-2.5% in 2019 (from 3%-3.5% in 2018), whereas, inflation should be around 2% in 2019. Trump tariffs continue to pose a major tone of economic policy uncertainty. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin assuages bank CEOs and stock market investors that the Trump administration has no power to oust Fed Chair Jay Powell for his recent interest rate hike. Mnuchin consults the Federal Reserve and Securities and Exchange Commission on the recent partial government shutdown and stock market turmoil. This stock market plunge protection team receives reassurance from banks that there is ample liquidity for lending to both consumers and firms.
American allies assist AT&T and Verizon in implementing 5G telecommunication technology. American allies assist AT&T and Verizon in implementing 5G telecommunication technology in the U.S. as these allies ban the use of HuaWei 5G tech equipment. This assistance arises as an equilibrium outcome several weeks after the arrest of HuaWei CFO in Canada amid a U.S. probe into whether the Chinese tech titan violates U.S. economic sanctions on Iran. The U.S. federal government undertakes multiple measures to curb the influence of HuaWei and its fellow Chinese telecom firm ZTE. These measures ban the HuaWei and ZTE sales of 5G mobile devices on military bases. During the current 90-day trade truce with China, the Trump administration remains adamant about maintaining U.S. dominance in 5G telecommunication (which is at least 10 times faster than the 4G telecom standard). National Economic Council chief economic advisor Larry Kudlow emphasizes the fact that 5G telecommunication technology is the top priority for national economic security. These landmark events echo the recent Trump bans on the cross-border merger between Qualcomm and Broadcom as well as Chinese acquisitions of critical technologies in Silicon Valley. Apple and Samsung may or may not introduce their 5G flagship smartphones and tablets until 5G telecom proliferation reaches a critical mass before mid-2020.

Passenger plane crash hits plans to revive Pakistan airlines (PIA)
Individuals stand on a roof of a home amidst particles of a passenger plane, crashed in a residential space close to an airport in Karachi, Pakistan Could 22, 2020. Picture Credit score: DailyKhaleej
A lethal Pakistan Worldwide Airlines Corp. crash that killed 97 folks in Could has put a plan to revive the corporate, which has extra collected losses than some other publicly-traded service in Asia, in jeopardy.
The state-run airline, often called PIA, had simply posted its first gross revenue in eight years, was beginning to fly once more after a two-month nationwide lockdown, was on the verge of reviving a direct route to the US, and had proposed revival plans to the federal government. However the Airbus SE A320 jet crash right into a residential neighborhood in Karachi has reignited questions on its viability.
“It’s possible that PIA becomes the last choice for travelers,” stated Khurram Schehzad, chief government officer at Karachi-based advisory Alpha Beta Core Options. “The public sector airline has a bad reputation with timing and service in the past, and this would impact the airlines business even more. Many people would be inclined to fly competition, for now.”
Labour strife
The malaise on the airline stems from frequent labour strife, adjustments in management – the airline has had six chief government officers in 5 years – and pink tape. That in flip has added to the woes of the service, which final reported a web revenue a decade and a half in the past, and has suffered 52 safety-related incidents within the 54 years of its existence, in accordance to knowledge from Aviation Security Community.
PIA spokesman Abdullah Hafeez Khan did not reply to a request for a remark.
Pakistan passenger plane crash
PIA, and Pakistan’s aviation sector usually, is managed by both generalist bureaucrats, or army officers, or a mixture of the 2, in accordance to Mosharraf Zaidi, a senior fellow at Islamabad-based suppose tank, Tabadlab. That leads to a extremely bureaucratic and unaccountable system wherein plane crashes are solely probably the most excessive manifestation, Zaidi stated.
PIA had collected $three billion of losses as of final yr, hurting its skill to tackle rivals. Aside from middle-eastern heavyweights akin to Emirates Airline and Etihad Airways PJSC, the ailing service additionally faces new native competitors in Airblue Ltd., rising service SereneAir and upcoming AirSial Ltd., and is shedding market share within the course of.
“A disproportionate number of plane crashes is part of a wider malaise,” stated Zaidi. “Without a wider commitment to excellence, to professionalism and to an economic transformation, no one should expect any major changes or improvements.”
Navy Hyperlinks
PIA’s present Chief Government Officer, Arshad Mahmood Malik, is a Vice Chief of Air Workers on the nation’s air power. That is partly prompted by a tumultuous historical past – long-pending plans to promote the airline have seen violent avenue protests by labor unions fearing layoffs, and political events in opposition.
The distress of former Deutsche Lufthansa AG government Bernd Hildenbrand is a living proof. After Hildenbrand joined because the airline’s first overseas CEO, his wage was instantly leaked to the press. Months later, he was stopped from leaving the nation, citing an investigation right into a plane-lease contract. One other CEO was locked into the lavatory by union members, in accordance to the Daybreak newspaper.
Even Malik, the present CEO, was suspended for just a few months this yr by a courtroom following a petition by a labor union chief. He was allowed to resume work solely after the state lawyer stated Prime Minister Imran Khan believes Malik was certainly the precise man to handle the service “on ventilator.” The lawyer basic additionally assured the courtroom that he is not going to be referred to as again to the army anytime quickly, in accordance to Daybreak.
Misplaced glory
The most recent crash – the worst for PIA since 1992 when it comes to fatalities – comes as demand has been destroyed with international locations imposing journey restrictions to examine the unfold of the coronavirus. The business is gazing a $314 billion loss in ticket gross sales this yr, with 70% of worldwide capability idled, in accordance to the Worldwide Air Transport Affiliation.
PIA, which owns the enduring Roosevelt Lodge in Manhattan, is the most probably airline on this planet to go bankrupt, in accordance to a Bloomberg Information evaluation. Airline officers in March offered a number of bailout choices to the federal government, as losses and debt have turn into an excessive amount of for the corporate to deal with alone. The airline provided to switch some debt to the federal government, conduct a debt-to-equity swap or to difficulty a long-term bond.
PIA, which together with neighboring counterpart Air India Ltd. as soon as stood for the emergence of two toddler South Asian nations on the world stage following independence from the British in 1947, now has present liabilities of $2 billion – greater than six occasions the worth of its belongings. The airline cannot survive with out extra taxpayer-funded bailouts.
Whereas Pakistan Air Pressure legend Nur Khan shepherded the airline by way of its heyday within the 1960s, the present regime led by a army veteran would not appear to have made any distinction to the corporate’s efficiency, in accordance to Burzine Waghmar, a member of the Centre for the Research of Pakistan at SOAS College of London.
“That their presence has not exactly led to turning such public-sector companies around profitably is acutely evident and puts paid the common assumption that the military is more efficient at managing Pakistani institutions than civilians.”

Ballooning U.S. Budget Deficits Will Boost This ETF
Ballooning U.S. Budget Deficits Will Boost This ETF:
In theory, the U.S. federal budget should move to large deficits during times of economic recession. That’s because the government collects less in taxes.
And spending on certain government programs, such as unemployment insurance, goes up. This boost in spending helps reduce the severity of recessions.
Alternatively, deficits should shrink during the good times. A growing economy produces more tax revenue for Uncle Sam, and welfare spending should fall.
But today, we find the federal budget deficit worsening even though the economy continues to grow.
In fact, the deficit is expected to surpass $1 trillion this year — and for each of the next three years — as shown in the chart below.
In order to fund the deficit, the government must borrow.
This means issuing more Treasury securities on top of the $22 trillion mountain of government debt already in existence.

But today, we find the federal budget deficit worsening even though the economy continues to grow.
In fact, the deficit is expected to surpass $1 trillion this year — and for each of the next three years — as shown in the chart below.

AT&T is stuck at $30 for the time being, at least offering shareholders at 6.7% dividend yield to offset the suffering.

More DirecTV Now Weakness
A prime reason for purchasing DirecTV was the ability to offer a competitive streaming service. After the purchase, AT&T launched DirecTV Now to some initial success, but the company is now crushing a major reason for paying $48.5 billion in the mega merger.
AT&T announced plans to raise the lowest price for DirecTV Now to $50 while stripping out cable channels from Viacom (VIAB) and AMC Networks (AMCX) in order to make the service profitable. The whole problem with the OTT concept from AT&T was the service too resembled traditional media services with a large bundle of channels.
The company now offers two bundles at $50 and $70 with HBO included in basic packages that cost $10 more despite dozens of channels stripped out of the mix. According to the Verge, AT&T now has the highest base plan cost of the five major streaming services that’s now led by Sling TV (DISH) and Hulu with Live TV owned via a future majority by Disney (DIS).
The problem is that AT&T’s management again claimed to understand the business back in December to only clearly show that they had no clue when purchasing DirecTV in the first place. CEO Randall Stephenson had this to say at the UBS Global Media conference:
We’re talking $50 to $60. We’ve learned this product, we think we know this market really, really well. We built a 2 million subscriber base. But we were asking this DirecTV Now product to do too much work. So we’re thinning out the content and getting the price point right; getting it to where it’s profitable.
The end result is a service already cutting customers after just reaching the 2 million subscriber base. DirecTV Now lost 267,000 customers during Q4 when Hulu replaced the service at the 2 million customer base. In addition, AT&T lost 403,000 satellite customers, suggesting the company is quickly unraveling a lead in pay-TV services. The only good news is that the move shifts the focus to making the business profitable and profits lead to keeping the large dividend.
The wireless and entertainment company finds itself in the middle of a video streaming war where the purchase of Time Warner (NYSE:TWX) actually pits itself against DirecTV. Offering the DirecTV Now bundles at a loss just left AT&T supporting content providers to compete against Time Warner properties. The company is now quickly headed toward mostly WarnerMedia products with the following video streaming services.

The planned entrance of Apple (AAPL) into the streaming wars on March 25 further adds to the upheaval in the sector. The tech giant has reportedly had a $1 billion budget for content and could give the service away for free in order to attract subscribers for other video subscription services such as HBO where Apple takes a cut.
Hulu runs a money-losing operation that can afford to wait out the competition. One should expect DirecTV Now to lose a substantial portion of their subscribers while traditional pay-TV services remain in a substantial downtrend.
Luckily, the entertainment business is the smallest profit generator of the new AT&T. The division only had $2.2 billion in Q4 EBITDA and operating income of $826 million. Cutting back on DirecTV Now should help stabilize the profit levels of the entertainment group.

The biggest risk to the bullish investment thesis is the media business from the new WarnerMedia. Most of the content providers have a strong profit incentive, but a lot of the new content services from tech players like Apple are as interested in subscribers than initial profits. The media division had Q4 operating income of $2.6 billion that is now at risk from a competitive environment.

Hanging Onto The Dividend
CFO John Stephens didn’t exactly provide welcoming comments at the recent Deutsche Bank Media conference. The financial executive sees headwinds during Q1 from wireless equipment revenues to the tune of $100 million and at least another $200 million from the amortization of wireless commissions.
The biggest problem is that the CFO doesn’t even address the DirecTV hit from the pricing increase. The company will lose customers, though again this may not hit EPS with the DirecTV Now service running at an apparent loss.
Not addressing this issue further strengthens my resolve that the AT&T executive management team isn’t leading the market, but rather following directions made by other industry players, whether in wireless, entertainment or media. The mega-mergers of DirecTV and Time Warner are both proving to be examples of management skating to where the entertainment and media sector was at and not heading toward where the market is going. The company isn’t leading the market which is a traditional weakness of a conglomerate that’s far too slow to act.
For this reason and until AT&T gets new executive leadership, the company needs to be on a strict debt repayment diet. No more transformational acquisitions where past industry leaders are bought at a premium.
My previous thoughts on the stock rallying to $40 are starting to fade. The wireless giant isn’t generating the EPS growth envisioned with the acquisition of Time Warner or even approaching the hopes of reaching a $4 EPS target. Analysts see the company earning a max of $3.65 per share in 2020.
Data by YCharts
For this reason, AT&T is likely headed to minimal capital gains due to a lack of confidence in the management team surrounding the risks to these estimates due to the competitive entertainment and media sectors. The best hope is collecting the 6.7% annual dividend with a forecasted mid-50% payout ratio. The company hit a payout ratio of 60% last year.

Takeaway
The key investor takeaway is that the market already has lost complete faith in the wireless giant. Despite buying both DirecTV and Time Warner, AT&T already is a major laggard in the video streaming space. The only hope while this executive team is in charge is cutting costs, reducing debt and paying the large dividend yield.
