si idealista sale a bolsa ya sabéis que significa, maricon el ultimo y me voy con mis euros.
Fase 6 – Los expertos recogen beneficiosTodo el mundo quiere creer en un futuro mejor, y la burbuja se aprovecha de eso. Una burbuja necesita que todos crean en un futuro mejor, y mientras esta euforia continúa, la burbuja se mantiene. Sin embargo, al tiempo que la locura se apodera de los forasteros, los expertos recuerdan el viejo mundo. Pierden su fe y comienzan a asustarse. Conocen su mercado, y saben que todo ha ido demasiado lejos. Los expertos comienzan a vender. Típicamente, los expertos intentan escurrirse sin ser percibidos, y a veces lo consiguen. Otras veces, los forasteros los ven mientras intentan largarse. En cualquier caso, sean detectados o no, el hecho de que esos expertos vendan es ya el principio del fin.
En su contestación, el Gobierno admite que "es cierto que el consumo alimentario en los hogares, a nivel general, ha descendido durante el último año", en concreto, un 8,7% en 2022 respecto a 2021. Si bien asegura que "este descenso, sin obviar la influencia que pueda tener el incremento de los precios, no se puede achacar a un sólo motivo".En este sentido, el Ejecutivo añade en su escrito que "es muy posible que este año 2022, en el que se han eliminado la mayoría de las medidas derivadas de la Covid-19, se haya producido un cierto efecto rebote en el consumo, en el que los consumidores españoles hayan salido más a consumir fuera -según sus datos, el consumo extradoméstico ha crecido un 16,8%- y hayan viajado fuera del país al retirarse las restricciones".
Intel Plans Fresh Round of Layoffs, Other Cost CutsPosted by msmash on Monday May 08, 2023 @01:21PM from the tremulous-times dept.Intel plans a fresh wave of layoffs in the wake of a steep decline in revenue over the last six months. The chipmaker, Oregon's largest corporate employer, blames a weak global economy. From a report:Citar"We are focused on identifying cost reductions and efficiency gains through multiple initiatives, including some business and function-specific workforce reductions in areas across the company," Intel said in a written statement. "These are difficult decisions, and we are committed to treating impacted employees with dignity and respect," Intel said.Dylan Patel with the technology research firm SemiAnalysis first reported the pending cuts over the weekend. Intel didn't say what else it's cutting, in what areas, or how these layoffs compare to a prior round of job cuts that ended last winter. Intel laid off more than 500 employees in California in job cuts announced last fall, according to filings there with state workforce agencies. It laid off employees in Oregon, too, but didn't make a similar filing here, suggesting that the layoffs represented a smaller percentage of the company's local workforce. Intel employs more than 22,000 at its Washington County campuses.

Chicago Fed’s Goolsbee: 'Credit squeeze is beginning'The Chicago Fed president said a recession is also a 'possibility'Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Austan Goolsbee warned Monday that a credit tightening is under way and recession is a possibility.“The credit crunch or at least the credit squeeze is beginning,” Goolsbee told Yahoo Finance LIVE in an exclusive interview, when asked how he views credit conditions in light of several bank failures over the last two months.The comments from Goolsbee follow his vote last Wednesday to raise the Federal Reserve's policy rate by a quarter point.Goolsbee is concerned that a lending slowdown is happening just as an argument over raising the nation's debt limit comes to a head. President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy are scheduled to sit down Tuesday to discuss ways to avoid a default on the country's debt that could come as early as June 1.“I think you have to say that recession is a possibility,” said Goolsbee, cautioning: “You do not land the plane nose down."He says the Fed needs to take the recent bank stresses and credit conditions into account when setting monetary policy, though it’s too early before the next meeting to say whether to take a pause.“We have to figure out how much of the work of monetary policy is getting done already through the credit conditions, and we have to be mindful that that's not going to be evenly distributed around the country,” he said.He said he will be paying attention to a senior loan officer survey conducted by the Fed during the first quarter, which is expected to show a slower pace of lending and tightening standards from banks as turmoil roiled that industry in March. That survey is expected to be released today.The job market, he said, is another major area of scrutiny for the Fed. He said he likes to scrutinize the job market over three months, and focus on the total hours worked by everyone in the economy, not just the number of jobs.Total hours worked, he says, has not been as robustly growing as overall job growth would suggest. “Given what's happening with the jobs, it does look like that is cooling the froth off the top of it,” he said.(...)
ChatGPT Fever Has Investors Pouring Billions Into AI Startups, No Business Plan RequiredPosted by msmash on Monday May 08, 2023 @12:09PM from the AI-gold-rush dept.Amid broader venture-capital doldrums, it is boom times for startups touting generative artificial intelligence tech. From a report:CitarBefore their startup had customers, a business plan or even a formal name, former Google AI researchers Niki Parmar and Ashish Vaswani were fielding interest from investors eager to back the next big thing in artificial intelligence. At Google, Ms. Parmar and Mr. Vaswani were among the co-authors of a seminal 2017 paper that helped pave the way for the boom in so-called generative AI. Earlier this year, only weeks after striking out on their own, they raised funds that valued their fledgling company -- now called Essential AI -- at around $50 million, people familiar with the company said. While most of Silicon Valley's venture-capital ecosystem remains in the doldrums, investors this year have been pouring funds into companies like Essential specializing in generative AI systems that can create humanlike conversation, imagery and computer code. Many of the companies getting backing are new and unproven.Analysts at research firm PitchBook predict that venture investment in generative AI companies will easily be several times last year's level of $4.5 billion. That is driven in part by Microsoft's $10 billion investment in January into OpenAI, the startup behind the wildly popular ChatGPT bot. In comparison, such investment totaled $408 million in 2018, the year OpenAI released the initial version of the language model powering ChatGPT. Entrepreneurs and their backers are hoping generative AI will change business activities from movie production to customer service to grocery delivery. PitchBook estimates the market for such AI applications in enterprise technology alone will rise to $98 billion in 2026 from nearly $43 billion this year. As with the recently ended bull run of broader startup investing, though, investors often are jumping into AI startups even when it isn't clear how they will make a profit -- especially since the computational power required to train AI services can sometimes amount to tens of millions of dollars a year or more. The sudden influx of capital is also encouraging many AI researchers, some without management or operations experience, to start their own companies, adding to competition.

A la una y treinta minutos apareció Richard Whitney y se dirigió al corro del acero. Whitney era quizás la persona más conocida en los medios bursátiles. Pertenecía al grupo de hombres de intachable solvencia y singular educación de quienes, en aquel tiempo, se esperaba una administración eficiente de los asuntos de la Bolsa. Whitney era vicepresidente de la Bolsa, pero, en ausencia de E. H. H. Simmons —a la sazón en Hawai—, ejercía las funciones de presidente. Mas en aquellos momentos era mucho más importante su reconocida actividad como principal agente del clan Morgan; por lo demás, su hermano mayor era socio de este último. Mientras avanzaba por entre la densa multitud Whitney aparecía complaciente y confiado —alguien más tarde calificó sus maneras de elegantes—. (Claro que su propia empresa traficaba ampliamente en obligaciones y papel de Estado, por lo que no es probable que le afectase el desbarajuste de la mañana.) Ofreció comprar 10.000 acciones de Steel a 205. Éste era el precio de la última venta, y los ofrecimientos corrientes eran varios enteros inferiores. En una operación totalmente exenta de reticencias comerciales, adquirió 200 acciones y cedió el resto del pedido a los especialistas. Whitsey siguió visitando los corros dando órdenes similares con otros quince o veinte valores. El sostén estaba allí. Era obvio que los banqueros se habían decidido a intervenir. El efecto fue eléctrico. El miedo se desvaneció y cedió la plaza a la preocupación de que no se frustrase la nueva mejora. Naturalmente, los precios saltaron en flecha hacia arriba. No había duda de que los banqueros habían dado con éxito un audaz golpe de mano. La caída de los precios de aquella mañana había provocado la realización de muchas stop-loss orders —que eran órdenes de poner en venta todos los títulos que alcanzasen un precio mínimo determinado con objeto de poner un tope a las pérdidas resultantes del descenso de los precios—. Muchos agentes habían recurrido a este sistema para deshacerse de los títulos que habían depositado como fianza los especuladores que no habían respondido a los requerimientos de depositar una fianza adicional en efectivo al disminuir los precios. Cada una de estas órdenes para evitar pérdidas (stop-loss orders) aumentaba la oferta de títulos en el mercado, con lo que los precios descendían aún más. De este modo, cada espasmo de liquidación llevaba en su seno el siguiente, produciendo en definitiva una implacable deterioración de la situación. Esta reacción en cadena —literalmente— fue lo que consiguieron dominar los banqueros. Su acción fue decisiva.
A las cuatro treinta de la tarde los banqueros se reunieron una vez más en la sede de Morgan, en donde permanecieron hasta las seis y treinta minutos. Se dijo entonces que estos señores adoptaron una actitud filosófica; a los informadores dijeron que la situación «retenía aspectos esperanzadores», aunque no los especificaron. Sin embargo, su declaración revelaba claramente lo que habían estado discutiendo durante dos horas. No es propósito de los banqueros —decía esta declaración— mantener un nivel de precios determinado ni proteger los beneficios de nadie. Su intención, más bien, consistía en organizar adecuadamente un mercado en el cual pudieran coincidir ofertas y demandas en torno a un cierto precio. A los banqueros les preocupaba únicamente que no apareciesen «fugas» de aire, como las bautizó el señor Lamont. Al igual que otros muchos hombres de menor alcurnia y talla, el señor Lamont y sus colegas se habían encontrado de repente súper comprometidos en un mercado que se derrumbaba. Había llegado el momento en que convenía ser parco en promesas. El «sostén», organizado o como fuese, no podía competir con el abrumador y patológico deseo de vender. En la reunión se había estudiado la forma de liquidar el compromiso de sostener el mercado sin provocar más alarma entre el público. La fórmula acordada era desmoralizadora. El jueves, Witney había sostenido los precios y protegido las ganancias — o, al menos, evitado pérdidas—. Esto era lo que el público quería. Para quienes habían realizado operaciones a plazo, el desastre sólo tenía una carta, eso es, la contracción de los precios. Y ahora se les iba a permitir a éstos bajar a su gusto. El único consuelo al especulador, en adelante, era arruinarse de una manera ordenada y decorosa.
