Regulatory Trends
-Boeing Model 787 Series Airplanes; Seats with Inertia Locking Devices
https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=FAA-2019-0236-0001
-Opportunity for Boeing and the overall flight experience for passengers. Safety feature in the case of a emergency landing or crash.
-Prototypical customers will be passengers who fly airlines that use the Boeing 787 Series in their fleet of planes.
-This opportunity seems easy to uphold. It makes sense to have this feature because it will help stop the seat from making a lunge forward in a emergency landing or crash.
-I saw this opportunity due to the regulation website and with Boeing being such a large company it drew me to the regulation. Also with all of the news as of late surrounding Boeing I wanted to research this regulation further.
Safety Zone for Fireworks Display; Upper Potomac River, Washington, DC
https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=USCG-2019-0221-0001
-Opportunity to make sure that all attendees of the event are kept safe during the 4th of July firework display.
-Prototypical customer is anyone that is attending the event either by vessel or land.
-The opportunity seems easy to uphold because it is all around good for the general public. Safety should always be the primary concern whenever a event of this magnitude is taking place.
-I saw this opportunity due to the regulation website and the title caught my attention. I knew firework displays in Washington, DC are extremely large and a massive event so I wanted to look into this topic more.
Economic Trends
-China's Economy Weakened in May, Early Data Shows
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-28/china-s-economy-weakened-in-may-amid-trade-woe-early-data-show?srnd=economics-vp
-Opportunity comes for those willing to invest in Iron Ore or as it has become stronger though the overall Chinese economy is weaker.
-Prototypical customer is anyone interested in international economies and investing in certain aspects that may have grown stronger through the economy's downfall.
-This opportunity is tough because of the war in tariffs between the US and China. This has hurt not only China but the US as well. I hope that this will actually not be upheld and continued as it will only continue to cause loss of money and jobs.
-I knew that Bloomberg is primarily a financial website and they would have a lot of information about Economic trends taking place currently. Due to all of the news regarding China and the US I felt that this article in particular would show was opportunities existed and what was no longer available in the current economic climate.
Bank of Canada Optimistic About Rebound Even as It Stays Neutral
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-29/bank-of-canada-optimistic-about-rebound-even-as-it-stays-neutral?srnd=economics-vp
-Opportunity for consumers that are wanting to try to take advantage of low rates as of right now. This is not a good opportunity for investors as the rates stay low with a possible hike in rates in 2020.
-Prototypical customer is someone that can use these low rates to their advantage. This could be a very large advantage for first time homebuyers.
-The opportunity here is very shaky. We are dealing with a country whose currency rate is low due to the low interest rates. Of course Canada will want the interest rates to hike so their currency value increases and investors become optimistic again. Right now it looks as if things may not start improving until 2020.
-I saw this opportunity through using Bloomberg's website. The title as many of the other topics I chose caught my attention. With Canada bordering the US I wanted to see what was taking place in their economy and if their was any opportunity there. After reading the article it seems Canada is hurting and is trying to rebound at a rate that is much slower than expected.
Garrett,
ReplyDeleteI agree that China’s economy is becoming weaker. It is much weaker than it was years ago. I think part of the reason is because countries are not buying as much goods from China as they used to. I agree that it is hurting both China and the US. The US is raising tariffs so that more American made products can be purchased than Chinese products. This is good if American products costed less. American made products usually cost more, which in return hurts the American consumer. American corporations are benefitting off it, but not American consumers.
Garrett,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading about the articles that you chose to do for this assignment. I personally had trouble finding relatable topics to write about. I agree that China's economy is ready to see a positive change and that their economy has spiraled over the past few years. I was also very interested in what you had to say about the unreliable opportunities revolving around Canada's banking system. Overall, great job!
The opportunity relating to Boeing seats is very interesting to me. I suspect that the customers will be very receptive, as they are to anything that will improve the flying experience. Just about anyone that has flown has had a bad flying experience, and such a safety improvement will be quite the comfort to many passengers. Well Done!
