“The second estimate of third-quarter GDP is out; the growth rate was marked down to 2.8% (from 3.5%)…Odds are good that growth will slow down next year: the stimulus has already had its peak effect on growth and will turn into a net drag in the 2nd half of 2010.”

“On July 20, 2006, Sheila Marcelo and Nick Beim flew from Boston to Chicago to visit a company called Sittercity…Three months after the trip, Marcelo started a website, Care.com, to compete directly with Sittercity. Matrix Partners and several prominent investors poured capital into her new company - totaling more than $16 MM.”

- Websites’ rivalry provides lessons in sharing, or not sharing, strategic secrets Weak sauce, Nick.

“Some call it California’s cash advance. Effective today, the amount of state income taxes withheld from California workers’ paychecks will increase 10%. The accelerated withholding program does not generate additional tax revenue. Instead, it front-loads it, bringing cash in more quickly in an effort to keep the state treasury stocked with funds.”

“A stronger yuan would make Chinese exports less competitive, which is unappealing for China in a year when exports are down about 20% and many manufacturers have closed. Chinese leaders who have criticized the West’s economic management may also find it politically difficult to yield to demands on the currency.”

“While there has been plenty of attention paid to infrastructure, the Obama administration has given it the short-shrift, instead pouring money into other, short-term things. The American Society of Civil Engineers releases a report card of the nation’s infrastructure every four years. Their most recent, released in 2009, reveals 15 weak points that need a mind-boggling $2.2 trillion over the next five years to be fixed.”

“The financial crisis happened in large part because of massive reintermediation. Once, banks held debt till maturity. The great unnovation was being able to sell it to the next guy, who sold it to the next guy, and on and on and on. What was once a simple, short value chain lengthened to the point of absurdity. Exactly the same value chain pattern is surfacing in media. Ads used to be bought and sold through a short value chain. Facebook ended up serving toxic ads because they were sold through lengthening chains of intermediaries — each of whom shifts the buck to the next guy.”
