Facing Down The Unions

Impartial BBC journos off-dutyIt's just like old times. The teachers are going on strike, the Post Office workers are going on strike, and even those most essential of essential workers, the BBC journalists are going on strike. The common theme? They're all employed by the public sector.As you know, the public sector is the last bastion of British trade unionism: 60% of today's union members are employed in the sector, even though it contains only one-fifth...

Problems With The Roller

This may never turn into a Rolls RoyceNow don't laugh, but there used to be a theory that the Civil Service was a finely tuned Rolls Royce. Ministers had only to point it in their chosen direction, settle back in the plush leather seats, and leave the purring giant to convey them effortlessly down the road.Of course, it was never actually like that in practice, but for politicians keen on expanding the scope and reach of government it was a useful...

Kudlow's Radio Interview with Jimmy Kemp

Kudlow: I was talking about Jack Kemp my mentor, the late Jack Kemp, the great Jack Kemp, my friend and mentor, and his great message of economic growth and opportunity for all.  I want to emphasize those last two words- for all.  Nobody, in my lifetime, in either party, has reached out with a message of hope, growth and opportunity to minorities better than Jack Kemp. And I want to bring in my pal, Jimmy Kemp, who runs the Jack Kemp Foundation...

Plan B Kicks Off

Get used to thisSo here we are with a government spending far more than it can raise in revenue, building up a catastrophic pile of debt, and facing an election in just two years time. Spending cuts are needed to balance the books, but more cuts this close to an election just ain't gonna happen. What on earth can be done? George is prepping Plan B.George's Plan A is to pray for growth, and in both the 80s and 90s it was a resurgence of growth that...

Another Slice Of Salami Sir?

Glad someone's enjoying thisLong-time readers will know that the 2012 Olympics smashed the world record for salami slicing (see all 2012 posts gathered here).The first slice - served up when we originally pitched for the thing - was a mere £2.375bn. But after landing the gig, the cost suddenly ramped up to £9.3bn, a fourfold increase. We later discovered the original costing had been cobbled together during a late night Withnail drinking contest...

Can Cyprus Still Sink Stocks?

Say that title fast five times, lol.  The markets are higher this morning despite continued uncertainty in the Cyprus situation.  Officials are trying to put something together to avoid a collapse of the country's two largest banks.  There has been some chatter than a large Greek bank might step in.  Eurozone officials are also discussing plans for imposing capital controls in order to prevent a run on the banks when they reopen.  This comes as the ECB has threatened to stop providing Cyprus with emergency liquidity support...

The Overspend Gets Bigger

See you at the airportSo what do we make of the budget?Given his starting point, George did a reasonable juggling job, and managed to sound as if he's serious about getting the economy moving again. His moves on company taxation and fuel duty are welcome, if relatively small... er... beer. His fresh attempt to inject life into the housing market is also potentially helpful, although we need to see more detail before we can be sure it won't simply re-inflate the property bubble...

Consolidating Near High Ground

The market bounced back yesterday but on lighter volume.  Today stocks are lower again, at least in the early part of the trading session.  This is somewhat typical of the action we have seen in recent weeks.In economic news, the March Philly Fed survey came in above expectations at +2.0, which is a nice turnaround from last month's reading of -12.5.  But it is making this data series a bit lumpy.Existing home sales for Feb. hit 4.98 million units, which is still higher than the previous month's rate of 4.94 million units. ...

Market Suffers First 3-day Pullback in 2013

The market closed lower yesterday for a third consecutive day.  That was the first 3-day losing streak for all of 2013, a pretty rare feat.  For those that follow "bullish stampede" rallies, this was one of the longest ones on record but the 3-day losing streak brings it to an end.  Fortunately for the bulls, the history of these long stampedes is that after a rest the market usually continues to do well.Yesterday the market sold off fairly hard after the bank levy tax was voted down in Cyprus.  This morning there are more headlines...

Housing Data Still Improving

The markets were higher in early trading but have since faded back to the flat line on the session.  The worries over the Cyprus bailout are still present, but the selling pressure lessened as yesterday's session wore on.In US economic data, housing starts rose to 917,000 units in February from 910k the prior month.  Building permits increase to 946,000 in Feb from 904k the prior month.  So housing data continues to improve, and with housing being a big sector that should help support this fledgling economic recovery.  With...

The Spending Problem

It's almost certain that tomorrow's budget projections will incorporate yet another downgrade to growth expectations. Which means that the current plans for public spending have become even less affordable.Since George's' first budget in June 2010, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) has downgraded its growth forecasts almost every time it's opened its mouth. For 2015-16 - the last year of the current Parliament -...

Monday Morning Musings

The markets have opened on a weak note following selloffs in overseas market due to the unpopular bailout proposal for Cyprus.  Cyprus is a tiny country, but the ramifications of the terms of their bailout have the potential to spook investors across Europe.The Troika said that for Cyprus to receive Eurozone bailout funds, the country would have to enact a 'stability levy'  on its citizens which would call for a tax on bank deposits of 6.75% - 9.9%.  This provision is not going to go over well, and citizens were lining up at their...

3 Opportunities for Marketing to Impact Sales Productivity

Call me an optimist, but in my opinion there has never been a better time for marketing to directly impact sales productivity.  I'd even go so far as to say that we're experiencing a "perfect storm" for this opportunity - i.e., "an actual phenomenon that happens to occur in such a confluence, resulting in an event of unusual magnitude". Wikipedia  More specifically:Over 45% of the buying decision today (i.e., for large purchases) is...

How Big's The Deficit?

Rather bigger than we're led to believeDave and George have long boasted about cutting the deficit by a quarter. And if you look at the official numbers, they're right: over their first two years (2009-10 to 2011-12), Public Sector Net Borrowing fell from £159bn to £121bn, equals 24%.But as you may have seen elsewhere, everybody's authoritative fiscal expert - the Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) - now reckons there's a greater than 50% chance...
