Economic trends
1.
Prices of houses are slowly rising
·
The information in this article leads me to believe
that housing prices are rising because between 2017 and early 2018 housing
prices have gone up around 10%, and are expected to continue to rise
·
The most likely customer in this market would
either be a new couple trying to get a jump on the market before they rise any
more, or a wealthy investor buying houses now and hoping the market increases
so they can flip it in a year or so.
·
This would be relatively hard to exploit because
not everyone has a few hundred thousand dollars just laying around to hope the market
continues to trend upwards.
·
2.
Oil and gas prices steadily rising
·
The article outlines and predicts at the current
trend what gas and oil will cost per barrel in the coming years.
·
Virtually everyone who isn’t living under a rock
is a customer of either gas, oil or both
·
I do not think its relatively tough to exploit
because gas and oil are available just about everywhere now a days anyone can
buy some, yes, the prices of both have fluctuated and gone up and done in the
recent years. But both products are still everywhere,
Regulatory changes
1.
Trumps tariffs
·
This is an article about the tariffs trump just
placed on Mexican imports.
·
Any company that has mexican imported products on
there shelves. A large number of United states based companies have plants in Mexico.
·
To exploit this all that would need to be done
is stop buying Mexican products or having plants in Mexico. The price of
certain items will skyrocket and likely effect the American economy
2.
Interest rates.
·
This article suggests mortgage rates are falling
and will continue to fall.
·
Anyone looking to purchase a home.
·
In order to exploit this, the more banks you
look you are more likely to get better rates and more incentives to pick that
particular bank.
These are all great and pressing issues facing Americans today, all could be exploited with the right course of action. I am interested to see what will happen with the tariffs on Mexico, particularly in the agricultural sector regarding Florida's specialty crops such as tomatoes and watermelons. The housing market also is an interesting topic in the current economic climate. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNicholas,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post because you picked 4 really great opportunities that could definitely be exploited for a profit. Gas and oil has always been a lucrative business but it is not that easy to acquire oil, which is why the U.S. has to import so much foreign oil. I think that out of all of them, the rising oil prices issue would be the hardest to exploit for a profit.
Hello, I really enjoyed reading this post because of the concepts you mentioned and the clear layout of it. Housing prices are a large concern of this country. It is important for people to have affordable housing. The tariffs placed on Mexico will hopefully help the country out. I am really interested in interest rates. It can help people out if they are low.
