Apreciados aliados de Echar Pa’lante,

 

Un saludo fraternal y solidario. Desde el 2012 hemos llevado a cabo foros educacionales para transferir conocimientos sobre las practicas lideres en el mundo relacionadas a emprendimiento, innovación, resiliencia y sustentabilidad. Durante los pasados tres años hemos rotado el rol de anfitrión entre nuestros aliados institucionales, y desde que comenzó la pandemia migramos el programa a Conversatorios virtuales. A través de estos foros/cumbres/encuentros/conversatorios hemos tenido el privilegio de aprender directamente de expertos locales e internacionales, que no solo han sido muy generosos con su saber, sino que se han convertido en nuestros asesores, aliados y amigos.

 

Hemos ido grabando estos foros, y recientemente los comenzamos a preparar para cumplir con la Ley ADA (American Disabilities Act).

It starts when you pick up a call and hear a recorded message saying something about your vehicle’s manufacturer’s warranty. It might say that they’ve sent you several notices in the mail. They say you haven’t extended your warranty past the factory cut off, and they’re going to close your file soon if you don’t respond. And, you should press a number if you’re interested in renewing your warranty, or press a different number if you want to be removed from the list.

Understanding how well you are retaining talent starts with actually knowing your retention rate. Calculating your retention rate is simple, and you can track retention rates by month, quarter, or year. If you begin a quarter with 100 employees and five have left by the end, subtract five from 100. Divide that result by the original number of employees (100), and then multiply by 100 to get your employee retention rate. In this example, the rate is 95 percent.

With the Biden administration proposing a variety of new taxes, it is worth revisiting the literature on how taxes impact economic growth. In 2012, we published a review of the evidence, noting that most studies find negative impacts. However, many papers have been written since, some using more sophisticated empirical methods to identify a causal impact of taxes on economic growth. Below we review this new evidence, again confirming our original findings: Taxes, particularly on corporate and individual income, harm economic growth.

Como todas las burbujas de euforia de inversiones especulativas, hay un momento en el que un rebaño de inversionistas enamorados de las enormes ganancias comenzará a invertir o a considerar la posibilidad de invertir en clases de activos que no entienden ni comprenden del todo. Tal es el caso de Bitcoin, que es el nombre de la criptomoneda más conocida y fue la razón por la que se inventó la tecnología que hoy conocemos como “Blockchain”.

Los mercados de valores de Estados Unido y Europa terminaron la semana con resultados mixtos, poniendo fin a una de las semanas más volátiles de los últimos tiempos.

One of the market constants is that as markets move up or down—particularly during times of an exogenous shock, such as from the pandemic—there is often a tidal wave that makes the markets change course. A stock rotation is a strategy used to capture returns from market cycles and improve the diversification of a portfolio over a defined time period. While we continue to see the mostly positive returns from the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite and the Birling Puerto Rico stock index, we note that underneath the veneer, a large portion of stocks are experiencing one of the most comprehensive stock rotations since the pandemic took hold.
