Identifying Opportunities in Economic & Regulatory Trends

I found this regulatory change through the New York Times about the increase in the Federal Funds rate that happened earlier this year. This is an important regulatory change as it directly impacts the economy and money flow. The Fed increased the rate at which banks can borrow money. This type of change makes banks less likely to borrow lots of money to loan and invest in the economy. The fact that the Fed is raising rates is actually a good thing as it means that inflation is rising to healthy levels and unemployment is remaining constant at a good level. This would be a perfect opportunity for an entrepreneur to take a chance on a big investment that could grow into a successful business. This increase in the rate means the Fed is confident in the current state of the economy. I see this as an opportunity for all entrepreneurs to start a project maybe they thought would be too big or daring before because this implies economic stability. There's no better time to take a personal risk with your business than when there's confidence in the health of the economy you'll be starting a business in. I see opportunity in this change because as a Finance major I spend a lot of time watching closely the changes in the economy and markets.

This article is about President Donald Trump working to abolish the EPA. I found this article and thought that it could be an opportunity as many people don't believe the EPA should be downsized or removed. If an entrepreneur were to take this opportunity to start their own non-profit or donation run environmental protection business they may have great success. The customers of this business would be businesses or individuals who want to see environmental protection as a main issue in America. They could market the company as environmental research and information about protection. I've always been passionate about environment protection and I see this as an opportunity because I take environmental protection very seriously and I believe other do as well.

Currently the US economy is at an extremely stable state. There's concern that the market will trend towards a boom in the economic cycle as tax cuts and unemployment continue. This could lead to "exuberance in the market" which could lead to another bubble and another recession. With this in mind, there is actually a big opportunity for success if you can analyze and play the markets correctly. This opportunity would be for anyone who is able to work with the market and sell their skills to others and be able to capitalize on opportunities that many people will not see coming. Similarly to Michael Burry when he shorted mortgage-backed loans and profited off the market recession. This is an opportunity that I saw since I am so market minded and finance oriented. While this could be an extremely profitable opportunity, it is equally as difficult to track and be successful with so it is only for extremely dedicated people who are highly confident in their market skills.

This article from CNBC discusses the Dow Jones index and how it's been continually rising for an all time high. The Dow Jones index is a stock market indicator and has been increasing for 9 sessions in a row. This is a historical mark and an indicator of the current positive stock market. The consistently high prices in the stock market are an indicator of a perfect opportunity to take a company public. The current high prices and high confidence in the market are making investors more likely to invest in IPO's. This is an opportunity for anyone with a business they've started to take that business and make it public. This move would cause extreme growth for them and their company. I see this as an opportunity because I'm interested in investment banking and I know that in this current state investment banks are confident in this minimally volatile and highly successful market. This is a challenging opportunity for business owners because going public is certainly a time consuming and difficult thing to do. However I believe if they have the ability to it would be a great time to do so.
