NYT. Housing prices continue their climb. The median price of Bay area homes is higher than at the height of the tech boom. Long Island real-estate is up 26%. This data answers the question: where are people going to put their money now that the stock market is in the tank (and is likely to stay there)? A quick look at the data indicates that a 5-7% sustainable increase is possible, given current wage growth, inflation, and interest rates.

NYT. Intel cuts prices of its chips by up to 53%. In response, analysts cut earnings estimates by 7%. This is an example of the New Economy at work. Intel, through the application of new manufacturing technology, has radically boosted productivity. As a result, it has opted to pass on to customer these cost savings rather than using the savings to boost short term earnings. Why? Intel is paranoid New Economy company. It knows that pricing power is in the hands of customers and competitive advantages are fleeting. Information travels too fast now. Intel's paranoia is now the standard for the rest of corporate America. It has opted for lower sustainable earnings over short term stock growth that keeps investors happy. An underlying flaw in financial theory is that corporations operate as efficient vehicles for capital. The theory implies that companies will return earnings to investors if it doesn't have investment opportunities that provide a return greater than those available to its investors. Corporations aren't efficient financial vehicles. They have a will to survive. [John Robb's Radio Weblog] |
