The Increasing Divide Between Wall Street and Main Street: The "Pre-Suicidal Profitability Syndrome"

The Increasing Divide Between Wall Street and Main Street: The "Pre-Suicidal Profitability Syndrome"

NOTE: PRE-SUICIDAL PROFITABILITY SYNDROME is a Lingovation coined by Douglas Castle to describe a scenario where companies with declining sales in a declining marketplace with no resurgence in demand in sight ramp profits up by radically cutting costs -- largely personnel costs, or "jobs" as we regular folks call them. Profitability goes up solely by cutting both non-productive and productive costs. For a time, some shareholders (and some Wall Street hacks and quacks) are happy (hopefully they are slowly selling off their holdings) --- until a point is reached where costs cannot be further trimmed and revenues continue to decline. It is then that the "suicide point" has been reached - irreversible losses simply overtake the company. In the world of instant gratification, this is becoming increasingly common.

In a situation of PRE-SUICIDAL PROFITABILITY, short-term profitability is increased, in essence, by taking fired workers' paychecks, and transferring them over to the bottom line for "re-distribution" to the shareholders. It is every bit as productive as heating a log cabin by pulling off logs one by one and throwing them into the fireplace. -DC

The following appears courtesy of The Daily Reckoning, an investment-oriented newsletter:

"We opined - without doing any research on the subject - that Harley Davidson had probably peaked out. Only old men ride Harleys. The young prefer a different style of bike. We guessed that it was time to sell the stock.

Naturally, the company's earnings have soared since then. But not because of increased sales. Instead, like the rest of corporate America, Harley is learning to earn more money without selling more merchandise.

The New York Times has the story:

Motorcycle sales are falling in 2010, as they have for each of the last three years. The company does not expect a turnaround anytime soon.

But despite that drought, Harley's profits are rising - soaring, in fact. Last week, Harley reported a $71 million profit in the second quarter, more than triple what it earned a year ago.

This seeming contradiction - falling sales and rising profits - is one reason the mood on Wall Street is so much more buoyant than in households, where pessimism runs deep and joblessness shows few signs of easing.

Many companies are focusing on cost-cutting to keep profits growing, but the benefits are mostly going to shareholders instead of the broader economy, as management conserves cash rather than bolstering hiring and production. Harley, for example, has announced plans to cut 1,400 to 1,600 more jobs by the end of next year. That is on top of 2,000 job cuts last year - more than a fifth of its work force.
Everyone is doing the right thing. Households are reducing spending. Business is reducing its costs. GDP growth is falling and investors are taking shelter in Treasury debt.

So what's the problem? Well, the feds can't bear to see people doing the right thing. They want them to do the wrong thing - that is, they want them to spend money they don't have on things they don't need. Why? Because it makes the economy look good...and makes them look like they know what they are doing.
####

I tend to agree. Don't be fooled.

Bottom Line: You cannot continue to profit in any endeavor without pushing revenues as well as containing costs.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

Trustworthiness and Competence - Douglas Castle

Trustworthiness and Competence

NOTE: This article was provided by Author Douglas Castle for first publication in The National Networker RSS Feed. To receive the Weekly Newsletter and The BLUE TUESDAY report absolutely free, go to http://www.thenationalnetworker.com and become a Member.

Dear Friends, Colleagues, Members and Readers:

The two attributes which I value you most in a person are, unquestionably, trustworthiness and competence. The same standards apply to any organization, company or government. When either or both of these critical components is missing, I become worried, distrustful, burdened, resentful and even angry -- betraying a trust, whether it is  the trust of a person or the trust of a people, is a rape of the soul. It starts a chain reaction of acusations, recriminations and violent behavior -- incompetence, while more easily forgiven (provided that is not a disingenuous "playing dumb" coverup for thievery, laziness, carelessness or some other less excusable behavior), still decreases the utility of any person or organization...

As entrepreneurs and early-stage empire builders, we have to fight to win people's trust and business in an economy where the deck is steeply stacked against us, and we must jump hurdles and break down barriers every day. We are accountable for every penny, and the job of any person on our small management teams is crucial to our success. We are called to to account for everything, all of the time. We can't afford the luxury of misplacing or mismanaging a dime. The stakes are high for an emerging enterprise, as are the potential punishments. A clerk with his hand in the till can be fired and prosecuted; an embezzler attracts special attention from the FBI. Mistakes, regardless of our intentions, can prove very, very costly, in a system that favors a few and crushes many. Power begets power. Money begets money. And justice is an incredibly "flexible and subjective" notion, with its enforcement applied selectively. There is a thin line, I suppose between prosecution and persecution.

The article which follows was released earlier today by AP (the Associated Press). It sickened me. It angered me. And I predict that it will soon simply and mysteriously disappear from the news, or a scapegoat will be paraded out briefly and sacrificed. I also predict that the money will never be found or returned. Worst of all, I predicted that this kind of news would surface (albeit for only a brief period) after the "liberation and rebuilding" of Iraq. Totally predictable ---that's the biggest horror of it.
Read on, and see how this makes you, as a participant in building an emerging enterprise, as a citizen, and as a Human Being, feel:
---------------
Audit: US can't account for $8.7B in Iraqi funds

The U.S. Defense Department is unable to properly account for over 95 percent of $9.1 billion in Iraqi oil money tapped by the U.S. for rebuilding the war ravaged nation, according to an audit released Tuesday.

The report by the U.S. Special Investigator for Iraq Reconstruction offers a compelling look at continued laxness in how such funds were being spent in a country where people complain basic services like electricity and clean water are sharply lacking seven years after the U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.

The audit found that shoddy record keeping by the Defense Department left the Pentagon unable to fully account for $8.7 billion it withdrew between 2004 and 2007 from a special fund set up by the U.N. Security Council. Of that amount, Pentagon "could not provide documentation to substantiate how it spent $2.6 billion."

The funds are separate from the $53 billion allocated by Congress for rebuilding Iraq.

The report comes at a critical time for Iraq, which four months after inconclusive elections squabbling political factions have still not agreed on a new government.

Despite security gains made since 2008, bombings remain near a daily occurrence that compound the frustrations and fears of Iraqis increasingly weary of the political crisis - one many say reflects how the country's politicians are more interested in their own interests than those of the nation.

The continuing impasse was highlighted on Tuesday when Iraqi lawmakers gathered for the second time this month only to indefinitely postpone the parliamentary session because there was still no decision on the new government.

Acting speaker Fouad Massoum told reporters that the postponement was designed to give the political blocs more time to discuss contentious issues and agree on the distribution of positions in the new government.

"With every delay, the suffering of the Iraqi people and security risks are increasing," lawmaker Salman al-Jumaili told reporters, criticizing the move.

The U.S. audit is unlikely to do anything but further stoke that frustration felt by Iraqis who continue to suffer from poor infrastructure despite the billions spent.

The audit cited a number of factors behind the inability to account for most of the money withdrawn by the Pentagon from the Development Fund for Iraq.

It said most of the Defense Department organizations that received DFI money failed to set up Treasury Department accounts, as required.

In addition, it said no Defense Department organization was designated as the main body to oversee how the funds were accounted for or spent.

"The breakdown in controls left the funds vulnerable to inappropriate uses and undetected loss," the report said.

Calls to Iraqi officials for comment went unanswered.

The Defense Department, in responses attached to the audit, said it agreed with the recommendations laid out in the report about establishing better guidelines for monitoring such funds, including appointing an organization to be responsible for overseeing such funds mostly likely by November.

The audit found that the U.S. continues to hold about $34.3 million of the money even though it was required to return it to the Iraqi government.

The audit did not indicate that investigators believed there were any instances of fraud involved in the spending of these funds.

The DFI includes revenues from Iraq's oil and gas exports, as well as frozen Iraqi assets and surplus funds from the now-defunct, Saddam Hussein-era oil-for-food program.

With the establishment of the Coalition Provisional Authority, which ran Iraq shortly after the start of the U.S. invasion in 2003 until mid-2004, about $20 billion was placed into the account.

The Iraqi government had agreed to allow the U.S. continued access to the funds after the CPA was dissolved in 2004, but it revoked that authority in December 2007.

In other developments, seven people were killed in a series of bombings and apparent assassinations in Baghdad and Mosul, a northern city where al-Qaida is believed to still have a strong presence. Among those killed were two women shot dead in their home by gunmen and a Baghdad electricity official who died of wounds sustained after a morning roadside bombing. ####
---------------
Please do not ever let me get so filled with a sense of entitlement and amorality that I would do what these these people have done. There is a difference between "getting" money and "earning" money. Too many people can no longer distinguish between the two.

Faithfully, and in friendship,

Douglas Castle (http://aboutdouglascastle.blogspot.com/)

TNNWC's Popular and Controversial Left, Right and Center Widget Now Features a Link to Wikileaks - 01.26,2010

TNNWC's Popular and Controversial Left, Right and Center Widget Now Features a Link to WIKILEAKS.

Most recently, the US executive administation as well as a number of high-ranking military and security officials drecried the showing, by WIKILEAKS of formerly-classifed correspondence painting a very dim picture of the US war effort in Afghanistan. Please refer to "US Condemns Massive Leak of Afghan War Files" at http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/uspakistanafghanistanmilitaryintelligence.

The following information about WIKILEAKS has been extracted directly from Wikipedia, the platform that provides, in essence, an open-source encyclopedia which provides information on various topics contributed collectively and collaboratively through any number of public sources. It is ever-changing, ever-expanding, and represents a truly productive united, collaborative effort. The most exciting feature of the Wiki concept is that it eliminates prejudicial barriers to varied opinions. It is truly representative of the vox populi :
---------------
"WikiLeaks is a multi-jurisdictional public service designed to protect whistleblowers, journalists and activists who have sensitive materials to communicate to the public. Since July 2007, we have worked across the globe to obtain, publish and defend such materials, and, also, to fight in the legal and political spheres for the broader principles on which our work is based: the integrity of our common historical record and the rights of all peoples to create new history.

We believe that transparency in government activities leads to reduced corruption, better government and stronger democracies. All governments can benefit from increased scrutiny by the world community, as well as their own people. We believe this scrutiny requires information. Historically that information has been costly - in terms of human life and human rights. But with technological advances - the internet, and cryptography - the risks of conveying important information can be lowered.

In its landmark ruling on the Pentagon Papers, the US Supreme Court ruled that "only a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in government." We agree.
We believe that it is not only the people of one country that keep their government honest, but also the people of other countries who are watching that government. That is why the time has come for an anonymous global avenue for disseminating documents the public should see."

Ben Bernanke Speaks in Somber Tones - Douglas Castle Predicts the Effects.

Ben Bernanke Speaks In Somber Tones - Douglas Castle Predicts The Effects.














Ben Bernanke Sets A Somber Tone for the U.S. Economic "Recovery." -- Perhaps this is a pre-emptive political strike against allegations of fraud... hmmm..... 

Dear Colleagues and Friends:

I am not fond of Ben Bernanke, nor of his knee-jerk, symptomatic relief reactions, duplicity and delay policies. In fact, when a prestigious New York magazine named this bailout baron "Man of the Year," for keeping the US out of a "dangerous recession," I had mentioned to a handful of friends (that's about as many as I have) that the award was rather like having an arsonist set fire to your house, watching it burn for awhile, and then running in to rescue one of your five children... and winning a medal for courage. Sadly, many have believed in Bernanke's intrusive policies, taxpayer-crushing bailouts, backroom merger deals to merely forestall the inevitable, his philosophy of borrowing our way out of debt (sounds screwy, no?) and his notably uncharismatic "positive yet cautious" tone. If he's not delusional, he is merely a rather cold-hearted fibber trying to buy the current US economy and the current administration time to somehow "come around" based upon miracles and propaganda.

It's failed.

Banks aren't lending to consumers and small businesses. Joblessness (the true measure of unemployment) continues to climb. Productivity is also decreasing, great minds are leaving the country (as are many jobs), and businesses are seeking other home domiciles in order to 1), get cheaper labor -- the kind where people work for a wage instead of waiting for a government check, and to 2), escape before taxes in the US become impossibly burdensome and back-breaking in order  to pay for the government's irresponsible policymaking.

Compounding the problem, is the influence that the US still exerts over the World economy -- It's what I like to refer to as the "Weapons Of Mass Destruction hoakum, trap 'em and choke 'em" routine.

The following news, excerpted from a newsletter issued by David Weiss speaks about about Bernanke's latest, most realistic declaration of the unpleasant truth, as the US slides (as do all major sovereigns) into a double dip recession that is actually a profound, fundamental depression:

Breaking news:
Bernanke slams U.S. economy! What to do ...
MONEY AND MARKETS »
by Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D.


Dear Mr. Castle, Global Futurist:
Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D.
A momentous event just occurred this afternoon:
For the first time in many years, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve went before Congress, set aside his rose-colored glasses, dispensed with most of his sugar-coated platitudes and made some hard-hitting statements about the U.S. economy.
Bernanke on jobs:
"This is the worst labor market since the Great Depression."
Bernanke on housing:
"The market remains weak, with the overhang of vacant or foreclosed houses weighing on home prices and construction."
Bernanke on fears about the future:
"Most ... viewed uncertainty about the outlook for growth and unemployment as greater than normal, and the majority saw the risks to growth as weighted to the downside."
Bernanke on tight credit for small businesses:
"Bank loans outstanding have continued to contract. Small businesses, which depend importantly on bank credit, have been particularly hard hit."
And never forget: All this is coming from a man whose job invariably makes him extremely reluctant to admit to negative trends in any sector at any time — if Bernanke is saying things are bad, you can bet your bottom dollar they're actually far worse.
Our recommendation:
  1. Act on our warnings to greatly reduce your exposure to the stock market, especially in the sectors we've been pinpointing as vulnerable to a double-dip recession: Housing and construction, retail, manufacturing, banking and more.
  2. Keep most of your money safely tucked away in short-term Treasury bills or equivalent. The return on your money (no matter how low) is not nearly as big of an issue as the return OF your money.
  3. To hedge against any threat to the purchasing power of your dollars, maintain a core position in gold — through bullion, a gold ETF or both.
  1. Above all, stay safe!
Good luck and God bless!




------------------

AND NOW, MY PREDICTIONS CONCERNING WHAT THIS ACTUALLY MEANS FOR THE UNITED STATES, AND GLOBALLY (AT A SLIGHT LAG). DOUGLAS CASTLE PROGNOSTICATES:

1. Citizens are buying up weapons and ammunition for both home and street protection in anticipation of rampant crime -- some of them (mostly the militia crowd) are stockpiling military ordnance to defend themselves against a giant government that is growing in its fiscal appetite and its vampirical bloodfest off of the public at a neoplastic rate, unchecked, unstoppable and infinitely powerful.

2.  Unemployment (non-government unemployment) will continue to rise as the availablity of credit for smaller business and for consumers shrinks.

3. Occasional upticks in consumer spending will be the sad result of a combination of factors, including:
  • Interest rates on bank instruments are too low relative to the real rate of inflation -- there is less incentive to save and more to consume;
  • Pension plans and capital markets (principally equities and index-based funds) are either a) too volatile for a person of  average cardiac capacity to monitor and tolerate or b) are steadily eroding legitimately-earned principal;
  • Consumers buy durable goods on interest-free layaway plans from large stores that are eventually going to go out of business but need to book current sales;
  • An increasing portion of spending is going toward gambling-related activities, substance abuse (escapism), and frivolous consumption ["since the world is going to end tomorrow, I might as well buy a pepperoni pizza"];
  • The release of new media/communications gadgetry.
None of this is positive, none of it is economically supportive, and all of it reeks of fatalism.

4.  Cooperative consumer movements and anti-government sentiment will be on the rise as an alternative to and a protest against irresponsible and immensely expensive government doles and metastically-growing, amoral monopolistic conglomerates;

5. The notion of community will begin to return as more public services are weakened or discontinued;

6. The IRS will be all the more vigilant in its efforts to audit, assess and repossess in order to assist the government in narrowing and ever-increasing national debt;

7.  The underground (cash economy) will continue to flourish, and become regarded by the general public as more respectable than ever in history;

8.  The gap between what banks pay for deposits (very, very little) and what banks will charge for the few loans they make (loaded with costs, fees, points and hidden charges) will continue to widen;

9. The new Financial Reforms will be of no consequence in regulating against massive financial institutional failures, but will create more government jobs and some more work for some of the larger, better-established multipartner law firms;

10. Taxes, fines tolls, tarrifs, surcharges, fees and "mandatory contributions" will increase steadily and lethally during the next two years to cover the costs of minimalist public services and to narrow the federal and state budget deficits;

11. Not-For-Profits will have a very difficult time getting donations -- many will go out of business;

12. Commercial real estate values will continue to decline in a downward "sawtooth" wave;

13.  There will be increasing friction between federal and state governments on issues of funds allocation, jurisdiction, constitutionality, regulatory issues, law enforcement and conflicts between laws -- some of these conflicts will result in massive civil unrest, and a generalized sentiment or peception of seeing the federal government as having interests increasingly detrimental to those of the individual states. Some serious showdowns and confrontations will occur;

14. The demographics in the US will shift in favor of peoples of color with limited professional technical skills and education, while educated professional caucausians and established and successful people of color will seek to become expatriates;

15. US involvement in military and nation-building projects throughout the world will continue, with a handful of "contractors" profiting tremendously and with their profits remaining unrepatriated and uninvested in the US markets;

16. All forms of offshore or international investment, trusts and entities will be increasingly scrutinized and regulated against as being "unpatriotic."

17. I believe that a US economic rebound (and never a restoration to its former glory or leadership role) is possible through a very slow process (fueled by American entrepreneurship and foreign investment in the US) which may commence in the second half of 2013 and take in excess of seven years.

18. To add an additional nugget to the apex of a growing governmental cow pie, military efforts, expenditure and loss of life in Afghanistan will increase, as will the likelihood of more aggressive confrontation with Iran. The US presence in the "newly-rebuilt" Iraq will actually increase, but the increase will be in the form of lucrative (to a select few) mercenary and rebuilding engagements.

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle
