Training Is At Its Core

By Krista Glantschnig, VP, GTM, SAP Litmos

As we embark on this final quarter of 2020, there are countless lessons to be learned from one of the most tumultuous, trying, and troubled years of our lives – by anyone’s standards. There’s good reason to hope for a slow and steady recovery (economic, public health, global morale) through 2021, but in the meantime, gleaning some wisdom from the previous three quarters seems a worthy exercise.

2020 proved that business environments can change unexpectedly and are less in our control than we might like to think. 2020 rewrote the rules of the game, forcing all players to reinvent aspects of themselves and giving competitive advantages to those who adapted fastest. It also opened opportunities for brand new players who saw emerging market gaps and jumped in to fill them.

Even at the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis, companies started scrapping their 2020

As investors consider the political ramifications of the upcoming presidential election, exchange traded fund investors should be prepared for what the market implications may be of either outcome and what that could mean for investment portfolios.

Even in the gloomiest of times, Chicago Cubs manager David Ross didn’t completely abandon embattled closer Craig Kimbrel.

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross has a laugh in the dugout before a game against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2020.

And despite a miserable performance by the offense this season, Ross never made sudden and radical changes to the lineup.

Ross’ loyalty will be put to the test, as will the legacy of the core group largely responsible for the 2016 World Series title, when the Cubs open their best-of-three National League wild-card series Wednesday at Wrigley Field against a young and relentless Miami Marlins team.

“Anything can happen in a short series,” said Ross, who admitted to feeling butterflies Monday night, “but I’m going to continue to rely on these guys that have gotten us to

U.S. core capital goods orders beat expectations; business investment rebounding

September 25, 2020 [email protected]_84 business weekly

By Lucia Mutikani

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – New orders for key U.S.-made capital goods increased more than expected in August and demand for the prior month was stronger than previously estimated, suggesting a rebound in business spending on equipment was underway after a prolonged slump.

The upbeat report from the Commerce Department on Friday, however, did not change views that the economy’s recovery from the COVID-19 recession was slowing as government money to help businesses and tens of millions of unemployed Americans runs out. New coronavirus cases are rising in some parts of the country. That could crimp consumer spending, with retail sales already slowing.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell this week stressed the need for more fiscal stimulus, telling lawmakers on Thursday that it could make the difference between continued recovery and a much slower economic slog. Another rescue package appears unlikely before the Nov. 3 presidential election.

Buy Dillard’s Stock, But Not For The Core Business (NYSE:DDS)

September 10, 2020 [email protected]_84 online business

As the COVID-19 pandemic began to sweep across the U.S. earlier this year, I warned investors to avoid Dillard’s (DDS) stock. The pandemic peaked at the worst possible moment for Dillard’s, as the company has earned the majority of its annual profits in the first fiscal quarter in recent years. Furthermore, with a less-developed e-commerce business than its biggest rivals, Dillard’s was poorly positioned to offset lost in-store sales with online growth.

The department store chain’s first quarter performance was as bad as expected. However, the company did a remarkable job of clearing out seasonal inventory proactively in the early days of the pandemic, enabling it to improve its Q2 profit margin modestly on a year-over-year basis.

By quickly stemming its pandemic-related losses, Dillard’s ensured that its asset value remains intact. With Dillard’s stock trading well below book value and management continuing to buy back shares during the pandemic, the
