Four Opportunities
Economic Trend: The Housing Market is stuck
in a recession.
·
I believe that this is an opportunity to be
capitalized on by those who want to enter the housing market because of the low
mortgage rates and the low costs of housing.
·
It states that mortgage rates have fallen more
than a quarter of a percent in just the last couple months, and that is a
pretty large amount.
·
I saw this opportunity because with lowering
prices, those who have not been in the market can have a way to break into it. However,
the opportunity is difficult to exploit because the housing market is very complex.
·
The customer would be those who are willing to
invest in the housing market.
Economic Trend: America is declining
in global economic power.
·
Because of the recession in 2008, America has
lost much of its economic power because China, Russia, Brazil, and India
regulated their banks to avoid derivatives.
·
There is an opportunity for foreign investors
and companies to take advantage of this economic downfall.
·
I think it is hard to pull off because even though
America is declining, it is still one of the most dominant economies.
Regulatory Trend: Trump
organization announced Tariffs for many countries around the world
·
Tariffs have a ripple effect on economies
throughout the world and can impact a lot of industries at once.
·
I see that there may be an opportunity for domestic
industries because the tariffs are meant to raise prices for foreign investors
to the point where they do not want to conduct business in the U.S that could
steal U.S industries’ market share.
·
This opportunity is moderate because even though
the industries are protected, international trade is large part of any corporation.
·
The customer would be businesses in the U.S
Regulatory Trend: Paid sick leave and minimum wage policies at
local and state levels.
·
There is a trend calling for increased minimum
wage at the local and state levels and there is an opportunity for employees to
capitalize on because many are not paid enough for their work.
·
The customer would be almost all employees
because they would also all benefit from paid sick leave.
·
This opportunity is easy to make work because
anyone can benefit from this change.
I like the way that you look at opportunities in the market on the large scale. For this assignment, I mainly focused on new emerging markets but it is interesting that you looked at the economy as a whole rather than single markets. Very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think you've found four really good examples of economic and regulatory trends, with the last one standing out to me the most. I feel like minimum wage policy is something that has a lot of room for improvement, especially in Florida. In Florida minimum wage is $8.25 while in California it's $12.
ReplyDeleteI think your examples of trends is really good in a more bigger scale whereas I think have might gone too specific. The decline in america's economic power intrigues me the post and I agree with your points as a whole economy .
ReplyDeleteHi Duc,
ReplyDeleteI think you found four good trends and opportunities. The opportunity that stood out the most to me was the decline in America’s power in the world, and I wonder how other countries and companies will take advantage of this. Your articles regarding trends were wider in scope than my articles as I chose trends in each industry and then related it to the whole economy.
I like how you talked about the housing market being stuck in a recession. I like real estate and agree that if you have never invested in real estate right now it is very low and now would be your chance to hop in and buy a piece of property. Yes the market is shaky and is always tricky but in the long run if you hold your property or rent it out, you will me most likely profit a good amount
ReplyDeleteI like how you brought up the housing market recession. In a market recession, there is most likely opportunity for an investment elsewhere. I also like how you mentioned the tariffs. Those certainly leave opportunity to either create a solution for a cheaper product or to make the same product cheaper in the USA somehow.
