How the Digital Revolution is Disrupting the TV Industry Suman Mishra
This is a BCG report on the TV industry in US and it talks about how the TV industry has seen “shifts” from inception, but this time the pace with which its changing is so different. It has done ample surveys and has lot of verified facts which makes this report so rich and conclusive.
The core trends fueling disruption this time are
a. Online and mobile will exceed Facilities based viewing
b. On demand viewing will exceed live, linear viewing
c. New companies and business models in online viewing
d. Networks are experiencing the collapse of the middle and rise of “long tail”
e. Content creators and right holders are capturing a greater value share than ever
The 4 disruptive scenarios in making which will “accelerate” the change are
a. The universal remote: Global, all-inclusive navigation solving the discovery problem
b. The walled garden: exclusive entertainment becomes the critical strategic asset
c. Direct to Consumer takes on traditional TV bundles
d. Live TV online

In 2019, subscription video services, on a global scale are predicted to overtake theaters for the first time in terms of revenue. This is based on the latest report from Ampere Analysis which looked to compare the changes in subscription-based revenue over the last few years in comparison to revenue associated with cinema attendance. Ampere Analysis notes that although cinema revenue has remained consistent over the last few years (with the data actually showing an increase compared to a decade ago), revenues from subscriptions has increased massively and at a rate where 2019 will see the figure surpass cinema for the first time.

Global Housing Market Analysis and Commentary- September 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
Homebuilders are walking a fine line when it comes to new projects as high mortgage rates curb demand.
New residential construction, including single-family homes and multifamily, dropped 11.3% month over month in August to 1.283 million units on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to Census Bureau data released Tuesday. That's down 14.8% compared with a year ago and well below the 1.44 million units economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected.
But authorized residential permits — an indicator of potential future activity — rose 6.9% to 1.543 million permits in August from July. That was still down 2.7% from last August. Single-family permits, though, were up 2% from July to 949,000. Multifamily permits came in at 535,000.
The data reflects two opposing forces builders are trying to balance: the ongoing need for new construction to fill in limited inventory and elevated mortgage rates that are hurting their biggest customer right now, the first-time homebuyer.
"High mortgage rates are clearly taking a toll on builder confidence and consumer demand, as a growing number of buyers are electing to defer a home purchase until long-term rates move lower," Robert Dietz, chief economist of the National Association of Home Builders, said Monday in a press release after builder confidence dropped for the second straight month.

Blog – Manufacturing Shipments and Orders – The United States – August 2023
Summary:
New orders for manufacturing technology in the United States totaled $353.9 million in July 2023, as per the latest report by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology. This figure marked a 12.4% decline from June 2023 but remained only 10.5% lower than July 2022. Year-to-date orders amounted to $2.83 billion, reflecting a 12.7% decrease compared to the same period the previous year.
Douglas K. Woods, President of AMT, noted that July is typically a slower month for manufacturing technology orders, so a slight drop was expected. However, he pointed out a notable trend: over the last two months, the year-to-date order gap has narrowed during historically slow periods. While job shops have seen decreased orders, other industries that benefited from reshoring or government investments have helped fill the gap.
Among specific sectors, job shops, the largest customer segment, placed their lowest total monthly orders since August 2020. In contrast, metal valve manufacturers recorded their third-highest monthly order value on record, last seen in September 2018, making up nearly 5% of the total manufacturing technology order value for July 2023. Manufacturers of motor vehicle transmissions continued to order machinery at an elevated pace. However, the aerospace industry continued to order below its early 2022 peaks, with hopes that recent projects like the federal government's $1.5 billion investment in communications satellites might reverse this trend.

Stock Market Analysis and Commentary for WE September 15 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Blog – Analysis and Commentary – Stock Market – WE September 15 2023
Summary:
Stocks fell Friday as investors wrap up a volatile week ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting.
The Dow Jones Industrials tumbled 288.87 points to close out Friday and the week at 34,618.24. At its lows, it completely wiped out Thursday's 332-point rally.
The S&P 500 index sank 54.78 points, or 1.2%, to 4,450.32.
The NASDAQ index plunged 217.72 points, or 1.6%, to 13,708.33.
The Dow held onto a winning week. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ both closed out the week with losses.
Information technology was the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500, down nearly 2%. Adobe shares fell more than 4% even after the software firm posted better-than-expected quarterly results. Shares of Arm Holdings were lower one day after its successful public debut.
Auto stocks General Motors and Stellantis N.V. were higher Friday, while Ford Motor was about flat. Thousands of members of the United Auto Workers went on strike after failing to reach a deal with the automakers Thursday night.
Elsewhere, Lennar shares slid 3%. The home construction firm posted third-quarter results that beat on the top and bottom lines.
On the economic front, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey showed one-year inflation expectations dropped to 3.1% in
September, tied for the lowest since January 2021. Also, the five-year outlook fell to 2.7%, matching its lowest since December 2020.
Electricity Analysis - Canada and the OECD - June 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
Over three-quarters of the world’s total coal-generated electricity is consumed in just three countries. China is the top user of coal, making up 53.3% of global coal demand, followed by India at 13.6%, and the U.S. at 8.9%.
Burning coal—for electricity, as well as metallurgy and cement production—is the world’s single largest source of CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, its use in electricity generation has actually grown 91.2% since 1997, the year when the first global climate agreement was signed in Kyoto, Japan.
However, even as non-renewables enjoy their time in the sun, their days could be numbered.
In 2022, renewables, such as wind, solar, and geothermal, represented 14.4% of total electricity generation with an extraordinary annual growth rate of 14.7%, driven by big gains in solar and wind. Non-renewables, by contrast, only managed an anemic 0.4%.
The authors of the Statistical Review do not include hydroelectric in their renewable calculations, even though many others, including the International Energy Agency, consider it a “well-established renewable power technology.”
With hydroelectric moved into the renewable column, together they accounted for over 29.3% of all electricity generated in 2022, with an annual growth rate of 7.4%.

Global (Mining Oil and Gas Forestry and Agriculture) Analysis and Commentary ...paul young cpa, cga
The mining, oil, gas, agriculture, forestry, and mining continue to face environmental, social, and governance policy review including reporting of key metrics as part of ESG reporting cycle.
There is more focus on profitability and investment returns as part of the integrated planning and reporting cycle.
Summary:
The global economy faces what at least one forecaster is calling a mild trade recession as shipments from China slump and German factories downshift.
China’s export declines extended into August, though there were signs that the worst of a world trade slowdown may be over for the leading exporter.
Overseas shipments from China fell 8.8% in dollar terms from a year earlier while imports contracted 7.3%, both better than economists’ estimates and significantly less severe than July’s downturn.
Other data have suggested trade may be stabilizing after weakening for most of this year. Exports from South Korea also declined at a more moderate pace in August than the previous month.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

Roku is currently the No. 1 connected-TV device brand in the U.S., topping
Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV and Apple TV in terms of total users, according to a new study
from research firm eMarketer.
In 2017, 38.9 million Americans will use a Roku at least once per month, up 19% over last year,
eMarketer estimates. Chromecast comes in second with 36.9 million users, followed by Amazon Fire
TV with 35.8 million.
Apple TV comes in a distant fourth: The tech giant’s internet set-top device will have 21.3 million
users. Over the next few years, Apple TV will continue to lag further behind its three rivals, eMarketer
projects.
One big roadblock for Apple TV is its premium pricing. The fourth-generation Apple TV devices
currently start at $150, whereas Google, Amazon and Roku each sell streaming sticks priced below
$40.
15. TV SUBSCRIPTIONS VS CINEMA SALES
Source - https://www.androidheadlines.com/2018/12/subscription-video-vs-cinema-revenue-2019.html
In 2019, subscription video services, on a global scale are
predicted to overtake theaters for the first time in terms of
revenue. This is based on the latest report from Ampere
Analysis which looked to compare the changes in
subscription-based revenue over the last few years in
comparison to revenue associated with cinema attendance.
Ampere Analysis notes that although cinema revenue has
remained consistent over the last few years (with the data
actually showing an increase compared to a decade ago),
revenues from subscriptions has increased massively and
at a rate where 2019 will see the figure surpass cinema for
the first time.
In terms of the numbers, Ampere Analysis expects
subscription video on demand (SVOD) to generate close to
$46 billion in 2019 and this will compare to the near $40
billion managed by theaters during the same period. The
research and conclusions are based on data collected from
fifteen international markets.
16. NEW STREAMING APPLICATION
• “Those high-profile moves include, most recently, the hiring of ABC executive Channing Dungey, who will oversee half the streamer’s
scripted originals as well as a large portion of overall deals, including working with the Obamas and Shonda Rhimes; and Chris Nee,
the Peabody-winning creator of Disney Junior preschool hits Doc McStuffins and Vampirina, who jumped ship to Netflix after Alex
Hirsch, who created Gravity Falls for Disney, did the same. Netflix is even getting more serious about consumer products, where
Disney is a dominant presence among its entertainment peers, and it hired Disney veteran Christie Fleischer to head up the effort.
• Not surprisingly, Disney's forthcoming streamer, Disney+, should include some Marvel original shows, and that apparently irked
Netflix, which retaliated by canceling three of its five Marvel dramas — Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil, while the future of the
remaining two, The Punisher and Jessica Jones, appears bleak.
• While Netflix has a huge first-mover advantage over Disney+, the economics going forward favor Disney, which can more easily scale
its shows and movies across the entertainment ecosystem while Netflix spends wildly to basically populate its own platform.
• "There are so many competitors," CEO Reed Hastings said during an earnings call in October with reporters. "Of course, Disney is
going to enter, AT&T is going to expand HBO, YouTube is just on fire growing around the world, video gaming like Fortnite, I mean
there's so many ways to have great entertainment on a screen."”

18. STREAMING STOCK TO WATCH
Source - https://investorplace.com/2018/02/3-streaming-video-stocks-to-buy-that-are-not-named-netflix/#.Wp0Mt-jwZPY
• Social media giant Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) seems like an obvious pick here. The company is a
global internet platform with 2 billion-plus monthly active users, making it the largest over-the-top content
distribution platform in the world. In this sense, all Facebook has to do to partake in the streaming video
growth narrative is put a streaming service on its app.
• YouTube TV is Google’s direct-to-consumer cable alternative. You pay a set monthly bill ($35) for
access to 40-plus live-streaming channels (including all the big ones, like ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX,
ESPN and FX). You also get unlimited cloud DVR space, 6 accounts per household, and can watch
from a phone, tablet, TV or computer.
• Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) has been at the wrong end of this whole cord-cutting trend for some
time. The company owns a massive media business that has been adversely affected by lower
traditional TV viewership. But Disney still owns some of the best content in the world. Think
ESPN, ABC, Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar. In totality, Disney’s content portfolio is quite robust and
it has very high demand. The problem was that Disney was pushing this content through
traditional TV channels. But everyone is cutting the cord, so the company was pushing all this
high-demand content through low-demand channels.

Set Top Box
Set Top Box market is expected to reach $24.3 billion by 2022. The market for set top box is
driven by increasing demand for High Definition (HD) channels, digitization of TV
broadcasting, government regulations, technological advancements in television, and increasing
demand for higher picture quality. Furthermore, better quality of signal transmission,
introduction of pause and play facility, live streaming by internet users, smart phones and
tablets are the add ups for the market growth. High initial costs and package costs of pay
channels are limiting the market growth.

Download-Hack-Streaming
Hackers can take control of your computer,
smartphone, tablet or smart TV by manipulating
subtitle text files, security company Check Point has
claimed.
The subtitle files can be manipulated to take control of
a wide-range of devices running the hugely-
popular Kodi media player software.
Media players VLC, Popcorn Time and Stremio are
also vulnerable to the hackers, Check Point confirmed.
These media players have a combined userbase that
runs into the hundreds of millions.
Subtitle files for movies and televisions can be created
by a range of writers and uploaded to online
repositories, such as OpenSubtitles.org.
These files will typically contain some HTML or Java
code – so the subtitle texts are displayed on-screen in
certain ways.

• Convergence Research president Brahm Eiley said the Canadian adoption of streaming
offerings has been slower than in the United States, in part because Canadian audiences have
less than half the streaming options Americans do.
• Traditional outlets, particularly cable TV and satellite across Canada, have seen a downturn in
subscribers of roughly two per cent each year since 2015, the report says.
• Last year, Canadian TV subscribers declined by 204,000, and another 253,000 cancellations are
expected this year, the report says.
• The report also estimates that Canadian revenue for streaming video services grew 33 per cent
to $1.12 billion, with forecasts on track for it to reach $1.51 billion in 2019.
