Introduction
US stockmarkets hit new peaks on Friday after forecast-beating results from the
technology companies including Google’s parent company Alphabet, Amazon
and Microsoft. Adding billions in revenues and increasing profits compared with
the same three-month period in 2016. Overall, the technology-heavy Nasdaq
Composite index rose 1.6%, hitting a record high of 6,664 by mid-morning in
New York. The S&P technology index – which has gained about 30% so far this
year – added 2.6% to a new peak of 1,086.
There are some limitation also:
40 million on food stamps.45 million in poverty. 21 million kids in poverty.
750,000 homeless. 20 million living in caravans. 0.1% have 200 times more
income than 'bottom' 90%. Debt v GDP of 110%. $4.5 trillion national debt. Real
wages stuck back in the 1990's.
6
Result
Amazon shares jumped more than 11% in early dealings on Wall Street, with
third quarter revenues up 34% to $43.7bn, helped by its recent purchase of the
Whole Foods Markets chain.
Microsoft’s share price added nearly 8% as investors welcomed news of a 12%
rise in revenues to $24.5bn, better than the expected $23.56bn.
Adding to the technology bonanza was Alphabet, which saw revenues jump 24%
to $27.8bn, with stronger than expected advertising sales at Google and a strong
performance from YouTube. Concerns about the company’s dominant market
position have yet to hit its financial results, and the shares rose about 6%.
The rise took his total wealth to about $92.5bn and allowed him to overtake
Microsoft founder Bill Gates as the world’s richest man. Gates’ gain on Friday
amounted to about $550m, taking his wealth to $88.5bn
This is the second time Bezos has become the world’s richest man. In July, hopes
for positive second quarter figures from Amazon lifted the company’s shares and
briefly pushed Bezos above Gates in the rankings. But the results disappointed
investors, Amazon shares fell back and Gates regained his crown.
Microsoft, as part of its revival under chief executive Satya Nadella, has focused
on its cloud computing business to offset flagging sales of its Windows software.
Revenues from the cloud business – which includes products suchas Office 365
- rose 14%, while the personal computers division slipped 0.2%.
7
Discussion
All three saw their shares soar to record highs in the wake of better than expected
quarterly updates, adding billions in revenues and increasing profits compared
with the same three-month period in 2016.
Many analysts had become concerned that the value of technology shares had
reached unsustainable levels and could be heading for a sharp correction, but the
results from the three companies announced after the market closed on Thursday
allayed fears of a new dotcom bubble
Amazon shares jumped more than 11% in early dealings on Wall Street, with
third quarter revenues up 34% to $43.7bn, helped by its recent purchase of the
Whole Foods Markets chain.
Microsoft’s share price added nearly 8% as investors welcomed news of a 12%
rise in revenues to $24.5bn, better than the expected $23.56bn.
Adding to the technology bonanza was Alphabet, which saw revenues jump 24%
to $27.8bn, with stronger than expected advertising sales at Google and a strong
performance from YouTube
Amazon benefited from its Prime Day promotion in the summer. After the results,
Credit Suisse raised its target price for Amazon shares from $1,350 to $1,385.
But the effects of Amazon continuing to win business from older retailers reliant
on physical stores was shown by a profit warning from department store JC
Penney. Its shares dropped 17% after it said it was forced to sell off unwanted
inventory at discount prices and warned it no longer expected an increase in full-
year sales.
But the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up only 0.1%, weighed down by
disappointing results from oil company Chevron and a downbeat report from
pharmaceuticals business Merck, which suffered disruption to its business after a
cyber-attack earlier in the year. The Dow was also undermined by the dollar
strengthening in the wake of a higher than expected third quarter GDP figure,
adding to belief that the US Federal Reserve is likely to raise interest rates at its
December meeting.
8
Conclusion
We have certainly seen stock markets soar and GDP go up markedly in the US
(and UK) over the last 10 years.
And we have also seen that neither have made retail spending or average wages
better, and no wealth created by GDP growth or stockmarkets have filtered down
to ordinary people.
What both economies need is wealth redistribution, not GDP growth. The rich
and companies paying their taxes in their states and taxation on both being given
out to minimum wage workers.

  • 5. 5 Introduction US stockmarkets hit new peaks on Friday after forecast-beating results from the technology companies including Google’s parent company Alphabet, Amazon and Microsoft. Adding billions in revenues and increasing profits compared with the same three-month period in 2016. Overall, the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite index rose 1.6%, hitting a record high of 6,664 by mid-morning in New York. The S&P technology index – which has gained about 30% so far this year – added 2.6% to a new peak of 1,086. There are some limitation also: 40 million on food stamps.45 million in poverty. 21 million kids in poverty. 750,000 homeless. 20 million living in caravans. 0.1% have 200 times more income than 'bottom' 90%. Debt v GDP of 110%. $4.5 trillion national debt. Real wages stuck back in the 1990's.
  • 6. 6 Result Amazon shares jumped more than 11% in early dealings on Wall Street, with third quarter revenues up 34% to $43.7bn, helped by its recent purchase of the Whole Foods Markets chain. Microsoft’s share price added nearly 8% as investors welcomed news of a 12% rise in revenues to $24.5bn, better than the expected $23.56bn. Adding to the technology bonanza was Alphabet, which saw revenues jump 24% to $27.8bn, with stronger than expected advertising sales at Google and a strong performance from YouTube. Concerns about the company’s dominant market position have yet to hit its financial results, and the shares rose about 6%. The rise took his total wealth to about $92.5bn and allowed him to overtake Microsoft founder Bill Gates as the world’s richest man. Gates’ gain on Friday amounted to about $550m, taking his wealth to $88.5bn This is the second time Bezos has become the world’s richest man. In July, hopes for positive second quarter figures from Amazon lifted the company’s shares and briefly pushed Bezos above Gates in the rankings. But the results disappointed investors, Amazon shares fell back and Gates regained his crown. Microsoft, as part of its revival under chief executive Satya Nadella, has focused on its cloud computing business to offset flagging sales of its Windows software. Revenues from the cloud business – which includes products suchas Office 365 - rose 14%, while the personal computers division slipped 0.2%.
  • 7. 7 Discussion All three saw their shares soar to record highs in the wake of better than expected quarterly updates, adding billions in revenues and increasing profits compared with the same three-month period in 2016. Many analysts had become concerned that the value of technology shares had reached unsustainable levels and could be heading for a sharp correction, but the results from the three companies announced after the market closed on Thursday allayed fears of a new dotcom bubble Amazon shares jumped more than 11% in early dealings on Wall Street, with third quarter revenues up 34% to $43.7bn, helped by its recent purchase of the Whole Foods Markets chain. Microsoft’s share price added nearly 8% as investors welcomed news of a 12% rise in revenues to $24.5bn, better than the expected $23.56bn. Adding to the technology bonanza was Alphabet, which saw revenues jump 24% to $27.8bn, with stronger than expected advertising sales at Google and a strong performance from YouTube Amazon benefited from its Prime Day promotion in the summer. After the results, Credit Suisse raised its target price for Amazon shares from $1,350 to $1,385. But the effects of Amazon continuing to win business from older retailers reliant on physical stores was shown by a profit warning from department store JC Penney. Its shares dropped 17% after it said it was forced to sell off unwanted inventory at discount prices and warned it no longer expected an increase in full- year sales. But the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up only 0.1%, weighed down by disappointing results from oil company Chevron and a downbeat report from pharmaceuticals business Merck, which suffered disruption to its business after a cyber-attack earlier in the year. The Dow was also undermined by the dollar strengthening in the wake of a higher than expected third quarter GDP figure, adding to belief that the US Federal Reserve is likely to raise interest rates at its December meeting.
  • 8. 8 Conclusion We have certainly seen stock markets soar and GDP go up markedly in the US (and UK) over the last 10 years. And we have also seen that neither have made retail spending or average wages better, and no wealth created by GDP growth or stockmarkets have filtered down to ordinary people. What both economies need is wealth redistribution, not GDP growth. The rich and companies paying their taxes in their states and taxation on both being given out to minimum wage workers.
