In monopoly (UK Version) it works out that Pentonville road, Angel of Islington & Uston, the light blue sites on the left give you 159% return and are the best in terms of arithmetical return but the dark green sites which are what people think that are better Oxford Street, Bronze Street, and Regent Street only give you 101% return so they are very bad. The next best sites are the orange ones which are Bow Street, Vine Street, and Malbrough Street. They give you 141% return but they are better than Pentonville Road, Uston & Angel of Islington because there is an increased incidence of landing on them. You land on them more often and the reason for that is, there is a card in the chance that orders you to go to jail. And if you go to jail, you are past the blue sites and about to land on the orange ones. In addition to that, there is another card in chance, ordering you to advance to Pall Mall which does the same thing, it takes you past the blue sites and another one demanding to advance to Marly Bourne Station.
There’s also another one demanding you to go back three spaces, which in one position will land you on Vine Street. So there’s an overwhelming case for having the orange sites. Now, most people do not know that.
In spite of our sedimentary state here in the Middle East as well as our neighbors in the West, we are facing an extremely large challenge. Below are the major issues as well as how Forward Echelon Venture Capital and Amer Alamer (a.k.a Lamar Sidwell) are addressing these unique issues to help drive our future economies. Issues we are currently facing:
- Baby boomers need to exit their businesses in order for them to retire and rescue their employees jobs.
- Baby boomers need low risk fixed income investments so they can receive income on their savings to live out the rest of their lives
- The government needs more secure fixed income investments to protect its citizens income for social security
- The government needs more employers to employ its citizens
- Baby boomers that exit their businesses are not educated to become portfolio managers
- Banks will keep interest rates low which will force baby boomers to take risker investments
- Our energy demand is increasing exponentially which means it will cost more to keep the lights on
- Jobs are going overseas looking for cheap labour
- Import of cheap labour taking away jobs for citizens
- Machines replacing repetitive human tasks which in turn also taking labour jobs away from the low income work force
- The next $100 trillion bubble of stranded fossil fuel assets because alternative energy prices are almost parity with oil prices per kilowatt.
- 40 million unemployed people every year to 2030
- Americas Pension fund crisis which are only 30% funded, pension funds around the world are also under funded, look at the riots that have already started in France, Chile, Hong Kong and Venezuela.
In summary, the baby boomers are retiring by the truckload in America, there are 80 million (30 million baby boomers retiring in the third quarter of 2020 according to a recent Pew Research Center analysis) and around the world, there are approximately 2 billion baby boomers which will retire from 2020-2040. Let’s say for example 1% of these baby boomers own small to medium-size enterprises with an average of 25 employees. The result is 20 million Businesses and 500 million jobs. If you combine all the private equity funds together they will not be able to absorb all of these businesses in the time frame needed.
Evidently, 50% of the world’s GDP is run by SME’s, and they are responsible for around 75% of the workforce. SME’s are the wheels of our economy and yet they are separated from all the capital sitting on the sidelines doing absolutely nothing. There are 4 issues why SME’s do not get that capital, they are:
- Illiquidity 2. Risky 3. Lack of scale 4. Weak in attracting talent.
To solve these problems Forward Echelon Venture Capital and Amer Alamer (a.k.a. Lamar Sidwell) have set a unique approach to help baby boomers to transition into retirement smoothly, keep their employees, and continue their legacy. There are 155 public markets around the world that we could utilize to help in the transition and produce an equity class product in the fixed income space for pension and insurance funds to invest in. However, there are only a few public markets that allow the strategy we are incorporating. Forward Echelon Venture Capital, affiliates, and subsidiaries operate as consultants to help in this transition. If we navigate these problems not just as a company but as a society within the next 20 years, this is how it’s going to look like:
Five hundred million jobs will be saved which in turn feeds two billion people of a household of four. The retirees will have accumulated cash and they will invest that cash into fixed-income investments to live out the twenty years until they pass. The millennial generation will have a decrease in unemployment rates and finally, move out of their parent’s homes. Fertility rates will increase, as the millennials will be more inclined to have children. Taxes will decrease because unemployment will be at low records, The economy will flourish with the number of homes, construction, and shopping malls at all-time highs. And the stock market will be in good shape, as everyone is feeling good about the prospects of the future economy. To conclude let’s call humans “consumers” which in part they are, however they are not just that. They are also a worker, a city dweller, and a taxpayer. As a result, the wheel of fortune is constantly spun for the prosperity of our nations.
Final Quote
Life is movement and movement in my opinion is represented as a wheel. It may be a car wheel, bicycle wheel, or even a semi-truck wheel. In the end, you choose the size, width, and type of rubber. What’s even better, you also have a choice to fill it with more air than the recommended pressure (for some that’s un heard of), however, one thing is crystal clear; to live a full life and have choices you must be willing to transform into a wheel rather than being a spoke on that wheel.
