Gabriel Bugeaud is in his second year with Dauphin and has become a fan favourite
soaking it all in while trying to battle for a championship
we believe we're in a good spot," said Bugeaud
"We have a positive attitude towards this series
We're getting ready for a huge game on Friday
We have to stick to the game plan and play a full 60 minutes."
Bugeaud had the primary assist in game six against the Portage Terriers as Havryil Simchuk scored to send Dauphin to the league final for the first time since 2022
this is the best time of the year for hockey
and the fans are into it," continued Bugeaud
Gabriel and the rest of the crew are using the fact that they're playing for the Turnbull Cup as fuel
Thirteen teams started the season on September 20
"It motivates us to come to the rink every day to grind
realizing that we have a chance to do something special together," commented Bugeaud
"Something like this doesn't come around often
and we're trying to enjoy every moment of this run."
Bugeaud has been paired with Simchuk and Ethan Stewart
who won a provincial championship last year with the Brandon U-18 Wheat Kings
The tremendous trio has torched opponents so far
They combined for five points in game six against Portage
four in the team's game two victory against Northern Manitoba
"They're great players and we've clicked pretty well," said Bugeaud
and Simchuk wins a ton of battles and is great at protecting the puck
so I think our styles complement each other very well."
I've had a pretty good playoff run here," continued Bugeaud
all of the credit goes to my teammates and linemates
The Kings will head to The Pas on Friday afternoon for game four

a Manitoba judge suggested that a sobering centre be established in The Pas
after an intoxicated man died in a holding cell in 2019
He is now calling on the province and local community groups to establish alternative forms of care for intoxicated people in The Pas who do not pose a threat to themselves or others
continues to call on the province to increase overall mental health and addictions resources in The Pas
including a preventative strategy to combat addictions issues

investments in prevention and ensuring we don’t get into a crisis mode after something happens
and investments into education around this
“What are we doing in the elementary schools
current addiction and mental health services don’t come close to meeting the community’s needs
“There’s no support systems in northern Manitoba
if you decide to get mental health help in the north you’re probably going to wait a year
so there are so many things that are missing.”
Communities across northern Manitoba continue to deal with similar issues with addiction and a lack of support
“Holistically we are not taking care of people
a spokesperson for the NDP government said the province “recognizes that addictions and mental health issues impact many Manitobans
Access to services for the individuals who need them is a priority
“We are working closely with public health experts
and people with lived experience to address the addictions crisis to respond to this crisis with compassion
create connections and pathways to support to connect people with treatment options,” the spokesperson added
The province is also urging people who need support for addiction in The Pas to reach out for help
“There are number of services available to folks in The Pas and the surrounding area
including adult treatment centres and mental health services through the Northern Health region
“In addition to the treatment beds we support in The Pas
we are adding additional withdrawal management beds in neighbouring Flin Flon
“Our government is dedicated to ensuring people can access the help they need
We know there is more work to be done in The Pas and throughout the province
and we are committed to helping Manitobans get the support they need.”

Justin Flett could have died after his appendicitis wasn’t treated at rural hospital: lawsuit
A Cree man says a northern Manitoba doctor dismissed his abdominal pain as a “hangover” sending him on an 11-hour bus ride to Winnipeg where his appendicitis wasn’t treated until two days later
who suffered ongoing medical complications as a result
is suing two health authorities for “callously
recklessly and/or negligently” treating him during the ordeal that began Jan
“They left him to suffer in agony and denied or delayed the urgent care, assessment, and treatment that he required,” says the statement of claim filed in December in Winnipeg’s Court of King’s Bench.
“His life was unnecessarily placed in peril.”
Flett, a building contractor and father of six from Tetaskweyak Cree Nation – 772 km north of Winnipeg – alleges the anti-Indigenous bias and discrimination he encountered began in The Pas, a town 424 kilometres from Tetaskweyak.
The 44-year-old says he was visiting his mom when he experienced “sharp abdominal pain and nauseau” that he reported to the emergency room staff at St. Anthony’s General Hospital in The Pas where he was triaged as a low priority.
The doctor who eventually examined him said, “‘I don’t know what to tell you, we don’t treat you here for hangovers,’ or words to that effect,” the statement of claim alleges.
The claim says Flett was not hung over or showed any symptoms of intoxication. And, it says, the pain he experienced was “far more severe and different than anything that might be expected from a hangover.”
It alleges the doctor “did not conduct the physical examination that was required in the circumstances” or order any tests.
None of the claims have been tested in court. Neither the Northern Regional Health Authority nor the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) would comment due to the matter being before the courts.
Neither organization has filed a statement of defence, said Flett’s lawyer Vilko Zbogar in an email to APTN News.
The claim says, with no medical clinic open in The Pas on a Sunday, Flett took a bus to Winnipeg.
“Throughout the eleven-and-a-half hour journey, Flett was lying in pain on the floor at the back of the bus, clutching his abdomen, because it hurt too much to sit down or to stand,” the claim continues.
After arriving in Winnipeg, the claim says Flett called 911 for an ambulance but was given a phone number for a taxi that he took to Seven Oaks General Hospital in the early hours of Jan. 16.
There, the claim says he was triaged appropriately and spent several hours lying on the floor because it was too painful to sit down.
He was only taken to an examination room, the claim says, after he waved down a passing doctor at about 4 a.m., adding no one took his vitals or checked on him.
Tests confirmed Flett “was suffering from acute appendicitis and would require surgery urgently.” Yet, he had to wait another eight hours to be transferred to Grace Hospital for the operation, the claim says.
“Because of all the delays, Mr. Flett’s appendix ruptured before he was transferred for surgery, leading to an infection” that his lawyer said in an email left his client with “chronic gastrointestinal disease which interferes with his activities of daily living and his ability to work and provide for his family. This could be a life-long condition.”
“This kind of treatment is unacceptable in Canada,” the claim concluded, alleging the doctor, triage and transportation staff in The Pas and Seven Oaks breached their duty of care.
The claim also accuses the defendants of breaching Flett’s Charter rights by depriving him of care despite “the obvious signs of medical distress.”
It also alleges they breached Flett’s right to equality by “making assumptions … at least, in part, on anti-Aboriginal stereotypes and biases rather than solely on ethical medical observations.
“The defendants were aware of the existence of systemic bias in the healthcare system, that Aboriginal patients suffer disproportionately poor health outcomes, and that there have been other instances of Aboriginal patients being ignored leading to tragic outcomes.”
As for the WRHA, the suit alleges Seven Oaks violated the protocols for monitoring patients established following the death of Brian Sinclair at another Winnipeg hospital in 2008.
Sinclair, who was Anishinaabe, died after waiting 34 hours to have his catheter changed. A 2014 report into his death made 63 recommendations, including how patients in emergency rooms are triaged and registered.
Flett, who the suit says can no longer work to support his family, is seeking at least $500,000 in punitive and exemplary damages.

Strengthening family medicine by connecting patients who do not have a family doctor with physicians who are able to accept new patients
The Provincial Attachment System (PAS), announced by the BC government and Doctors of BC
provides a coordinated and seamless approach to connecting patients who do not have a family doctor with physicians who are able to accept new patients
It is another step in our journey to revitalize and strengthen family medicine
The PAS will include all longitudinal family physicians regardless of their payment model
The Provincial Attachment System consists of two streams:
Patient-facing:The Health Connect Registry is where unattached patients around the province can register to identify that they are seeking a family doctor in their community
Provider-facing:The “provider-facing” stream for community longitudinal care providers consists of two streams:
The latest news on the PAS is available in the newsletter that was sent to physicians on February 14
This newsletter provides an overview of payments for physicians who joined the PAS after March 31
For more information about the one-time Panel Registry Payment or the Clinic and Provider Registry Payment, please review the FAQs
A trust-based relationship between patients and physicians is critically important and there must be flexibility and choice for both parties
To support this priority at the community level
Attachment Coordinators will support patients and doctors through the Health Connect Registry (HCR) to ensure there is a good "match”
Should either a physician or patient decide that the attachment fit isn’t right
the Attachment Coordinator will return the patient to the HCR to find a better match
A wide range of resources are available to assist you in using the PAS including user guides
The PAS is designed to be intuitive and easy to use
the Ministry of Health has produced a range of training materials and supports that are now available:

To honour our past and give hope for our future
your government will commission a new statue on the front lawn of the Legislative Building
A mother and child bison will stand in front of the people’s building as a symbol of all Manitobans
It will also serve as a reminder of the sacred bonds of family that were harmed in the residential school era
We begin by honouring the sacredness and importance of these lands and waters
and of the ancestors that once walked where we are standing today
Inuit and Anishinaabe nations who paved the way to what is now known as Manitoba
in Manitoba we are coming together to accomplish the big things we can’t do alone
And there is reason to hope: in health care
we have hired 870 net new workers and we are making it easier for you to see a doctor with new clinics
There is reason to hope: families are starting to feel relief because of the action we’ve taken to lower costs and create more good jobs
There is reason to hope: today every Manitoba child has food at school to focus on learning
Our children now have a better chance of graduating high school
We have stood together in challenging times
mourning women and children whose lives were cut short by violence
We have also seen the heroism of ordinary people shine in dark times
We honour all the heroes who responded to unspeakable tragedies in Carman and McCreary
The firefighters and emergency responders who helped northern families during wildfires
We came together in Dauphin to mark the anniversary of the tragic Carberry bus crash and give thanks for all who responded in the moment and in the days that followed
Manitobans witnessed courage and leadership in the young voices of Cambria Harris and Jordan Myran as we stood together and kept our promise to search the landfill
And we watched Jim Parks and George Couture
and other Second World War veterans from Manitoba
look out at the beach they crossed on D-Day 80 years ago as young soldiers
whose sense of responsibility led them to fight for the freedom and democracy we enjoy in Canada today
The challenges we face today in our province are not unique: a health-care system in need of repair
the humanitarian crisis of addiction and homelessness that weighs on all our hearts
Yet how we respond to these challenges is what sets us apart
we are giving people reasons to hope with a plan that makes your life better
front-line health-care workers’ jobs were cut and their voices ignored
That’s changing now with a new approach that’s starting to show signs of success
We are hiring a record number of doctors and we’re retaining doctors in our province at a higher rate than we have in years
We are listening to nurses and implementing their solutions with better work/life balance
and steps to keep them safe at work including hiring 105 Institutional Safety Officers
Manitoba’s health-care support workers were the lowest paid in Canada under the previous government but now they have a fair deal
they can be proud that their province values their work and understands it is their caring hands that hold up our health-care system
We will bring more internationally educated health-care workers to the bedside by expediting the Nursing Re-Entry Program
creating more opportunities in rural and northern communities and opening new pathways for international medical graduates
To the health-care workers who have put their trust in us - thank you
To the young people thinking about a career in health care: come and be a part of this positive change
you will find a government that listens to you and a job offer the day you graduate
We will continue to staff up our health-care system after years of cuts
Our government took action immediately so you could see a family doctor or nurse practitioner sooner
opening new clinics in Winnipeg and Brandon where you can book same-day
We are working hard to bring ER wait times down
We have opened 201 new fully staffed beds in Winnipeg

We are moving forward on the design of the Victoria General and Eriksdale ERs
giving families in south Winnipeg and the Interlake region the chance to shape the future of their health care
We will reduce wait times by adding 800 new hip and knee surgeries at the Selkirk hospital
This investment will cut wait times and give seniors the freedom to enjoy retirement and chase after their grandkids
Northern families shouldn’t have to miss school or work for health care
We will bring a new mobile MRI to Thompson
The Pas and northern First Nations to lower wait times and keep families close to home
Every Manitoban should have dignity and respect as they grow old
We put the dignity of seniors first by creating a new Seniors Advocate Office to protect you and your loved ones
And we will work with Manitoba seniors to help stand up this new office
work will begin before the end of the year on our government’s first new personal care home
We believe all seniors should age with pride
That’s why we will support the Place of Pride campus
providing seniors housing and community services for the 2SLGBTQ+ community in downtown Winnipeg
plastic health card illuminated by the winning design - ‘Northern Lights’
Delivering on our commitment to make health care better isn’t easy but it’s worthwhile
It’s the foundation for building a good life in Canada
It’s the certainty that no matter what happens
your family can get the care you need without going into debt
we will always protect public health care and work to make it better for you
The impact of inflation and rising costs has hit Manitobans hard
Your government knows that you are struggling to pay for the life you earned - groceries
saving for retirement or your child’s education - it feels like it’s never been this difficult
That’s why we took action right away to lower costs
saving you 14 cents a litre every time you fill up
driving our inflation rate down to the lowest in the country
We gave working families the power to negotiate higher pay
a better pension and more benefits by making it easier to join a union

We put more money in the pockets of renters and seniors on fixed incomes
And we are freezing Crown land rents for the second year in a row
our new Homeowners Affordability Tax Credit will give homeowners up to $1,500 in relief
And our new tax credit for rental housing construction will create more affordable housing.
Manitoba remains one of the few places in Canada where the dream of home ownership is within reach
Our next step to lower costs for you is to freeze hydro rates for one year starting in 2025
We will make life more affordable for renters by strengthening protections with new laws
And we will support good landlords who work with us to end chronic homelessness
If Manitoba families are forced to tighten their belts just to put food on the table
We will stop anti-competitive contracts that make groceries more expensive
WE ARE GROWING THE ECONOMY WITH GOOD JOBS
A good job is about more than a paycheque - it’s the dignity that comes with providing for your family and giving back to your community
One of the best ways to grow our economy is to help more Manitobans join the workforce and join the middle class
We will improve safety training for workers to protect them from dangerous chemicals like asbestos by strengthening the Workplace Safety and Health Act
And we’re reconvening the Advisory Council on Workplace Safety and Health
workers and health and safety experts to ensure Manitoba’s laws keep up to date with the realities of today’s workplaces and ensure workers are safe no matter where they work
Manitoba’s post-secondary institutions help people join the workforce with university and college degrees and apprenticeships in the skilled trades
They are at the heart of our democracy and they prepare people for the real world
Guided by the Premier’s Business and Jobs Council
we will release a new economic development strategy outlining the next phase of economic growth in Manitoba with a new focus on productivity
We are leaning into our strengths with new investments in agriculture
opening two new Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation offices next year
And we are investing in sustainable aviation fuel in Portage la Prairie
We will compete in the new economy with a ‘Made in Canada’ stamp by helping home-grown success stories like New Flyer Industries
who set up an all-Canadian build facility with hundreds of new jobs
And we’re continuing to lead in the film industry
attracting big production companies with our best-in-class film tax credits
We’re attracting new investment with industry-friendly policies

first-serve connections to our power grid and speed up home and business hookups to stand up housing and new businesses faster at lower cost

benefit from our skilled workforce and partner with us to unlock economic growth
‘Securing our Critical Mineral Future’
positions our province to help Canada meet its NATO spending targets

We extended post-graduate work permits and this year
we’ll bring in a record number of new workers through the Provincial Nominee Program
We are growing the economy and creating Manitoba jobs by moving forward with big infrastructure projects
We are moving forward with the channels project in the Interlake to protect all communities from flooding
And we are resetting the relationship with the Indigenous nations in the region whose communities have not been listened to for years
We have begun work on the initial design and consultations on the first phase of twinning the Trans-Canada Highway east so we can start to make progress on this important project
We will continue to make progress on upgrades to the North End Water Pollution Control Centre - one of the largest infrastructure projects in generations
so we can build more affordable housing and protect Lake Winnipeg
we will take a balanced approach to the books so we can provide the services that Manitobans expect while keeping your cost of living low
We’re delivering results for Manitobans
Manitoba has had the lowest inflation - and the lowest unemployment - of any province in Canada
WE ARE MAKING OUR DOWNTOWNS AND NEIGHBOURHOODS SAFER
crime increased and there had been no co-ordinated response to keep people safe
Our new Public Safety Strategy provides the direction and leadership that has been missing to make our communities safer with tougher responses to crime and more proactive steps to prevent it
We’re adding more police presence to our streets and hiring more mental health workers so police can focus on violent crime and people in crisis get the help they need
We’ll stop violent crime by building on our successful Retail Crime and Violent Crime Initiative and by giving municipalities and First Nations more control over their public safety
We’re making it easier for women and their children to escape intimate partner violence by making it easier to move to safety
We’re supporting non-profit organizations that help Manitobans fleeing gender-based violence
And we’re working with the justice system to better recognize signs of coercive control like social isolation
emotional manipulation and financial restrictions
With a new strategy to empower Indigenous women
making our province a safer place for women
girls and gender-diverse people to thrive with more opportunities for themselves and their families
There should be no chronic homelessness in a rich country like Canada. We’re moving forward quickly by bringing organizations
governments and Indigenous nations together to move people from tents to housing with our new plan to end chronic homelessness over the next seven years
we’re bringing the hammer down on drug trafficking with new legislation to crack down on drug dealers and the sale of weapons
And we’re establishing a new General Investigative Unit in Swan River to go after drug trafficking
we’re helping Manitobans who are ready to turn their lives around with more education and rehabilitation in correctional facilities
And community consultations are underway for a new Dauphin Centre for Justice
Changing the trajectory of Winnipeg’s downtown for the better takes vision and collaboration
We’re proud to work in partnership with a Manitoba company to bring economic reconciliation
and affordable groceries to the heart of our capital
And we’re not stopping there.
Our new vision for downtown Winnipeg includes Manitoba’s agricultural sector
The new Global Agriculture Technology Exchange campus will bring visitors to Manitoba and Manitoba’s grains to the world at a time when we need to diversify and expand our markets
WE ARE GIVING KIDS THE FREEDOM TO BE KIDS
we’re making it easier for kids to just be kids.
Our universal school meal program and school cellphone ban are helping kids focus on learning.
Now we’ll put in the work to ensure they can’t be taken away
We’re building schools owned by the people on your street not Bay Street
And we’re keeping schools and community centres open in the evenings and weekends to give kids more opportunities to play.
The 630 educators we hired this year are helping kids learn with more attention from their teachers and smaller class sizes
We want our kids to have the best education
so we’re bringing science curriculums up to date
establishing clear outcomes for literacy instruction
and including a dedicated unit on Financial Literacy in Grade 9 to prepare students for life after school
We’re working together to build the Manitoba we all hope for.

Our Holocaust education curriculum will make sure Manitobans learn the truth about the Holocaust and never forget the importance of rejecting antisemitism in all its forms
Speaking about the harms of residential schools
said “Education is what got us here and education is what will get us out.”
We will strive to carry out the work he started in our schools
In the very places where language was once silenced
today with the help of elders and language speakers
we are bringing Indigenous languages back to the classroom
Manitobans may be surprised to know that in 2024
not all First Nations people can vote in school board elections
We’re going to change this so everyone has the right to cast a ballot
We know Manitobans care about the environment and will make climate-friendly choices when they can afford to - that’s what our new Affordable Energy Plan is all about
We’re helping you save energy while you save money with rebates and incentives for home retrofits

we moved to protect seven per cent of Manitoba
making progress on our goal to protect 30 per cent of Manitoba by 2030
You should trust the lakes your children swim in
the air they breathe and the parks they play in are safe
We will take steps to modernize the Environment Act to make big polluters pay for breaking environmental laws and strive for the highest standards in water protection
The health of Lake Winnipeg matters to all of us
we will establish a Lake Winnipeg stakeholder working group with producers
Indigenous nations and industry representatives to ensure the sustainability of our lake
One of our society’s most important freedoms is freedom of the press
It holds the powerful to account including government
In an age of so much misinformation and polarization
we can’t afford to let journalism disappear
we can’t allow this issue to become politicized
we are establishing an all-party committee to explore the future of local journalism including rural and cultural media such as Filipino
Punjabi and Chinese language publications
Your freedom of speech and your ability to participate in a fair public process must also be protected
We’ll bring in legislation to protect this civil liberty and defend Manitobans from strategic lawsuits against public participation
Rural Manitobans want a government that listens to them and respects their autonomy
Our government will give municipalities the freedom to choose participation in regional planning groups
so they can decide what’s best for their community
we will release the terms of reference for the inquiry into the Winnipeg Police Service headquarters construction project
Governments everywhere are learning the benefits and the dangers of rapidly advancing technology like artificial intelligence
While our new AI strategy will benefit all Manitobans
we will also introduce legislation to protect our elections and democracy from third-party and foreign interference
Canadians have learned a lot about the truth of our shared history
So many communities across our province know what it is like to flee oppression and violence
have all found a welcome home here in Manitoba
We will revive the multi-cultural secretariat et nous am�liorerons nos services en fran�ais afin de mieux soutenir nos diverses communaut�s
That same prairie spirit that gets us out of bed to push our neighbour’s car after a heavy snowfall or help the nearby farm down on its luck
is fueling a new desire to learn and walk together on the path of reconciliation
Canadians will gather to honour who we are and how far we’ve come and commit to a better future where no one is left behind and every child matters
The Statue of Queen Victoria carried great historical
cultural and emotional significance to Manitobans
We will convene a group of Manitoba’s cultural institutions and museums
along with history and heritage experts to determine the best way to display and honour this historic monument
As we honour the past and commit to teaching future generations of Manitobans about who we are as a people
our government will establish a new honour for veterans and other Manitoba heroes
and we will introduce a new program in our schools to send Manitoba high school students to the historic battlefields of the World Wars
we face the same challenges as many of our neighbours
But instead of letting those challenges divide us
Every day we measure our government’s success by how much Manitobans are free to pursue a good life
The opportunity of a good job to support your family
Health care that’s there when your family needs it
It’s these everyday ambitions that help us find meaning in ourselves and the world around us
This is what the Canadian philosopher Charles Taylor calls “the affirmation of ordinary life.”

Investigators have determined that a vehicle, travelling eastbound with five occupants, had lost control where it entered the ditch and rolled.
Two male passengers in the vehicle, a 35-year-old from Opaskwayak Cree Nation and a 36-year-old from Prince Albert, Sask., were pronounced dead on scene. The 39-year-old male driver, from Opaskwayak Cree Nation, and a 28-year-old woman from The Pas, were rushed to hospital, and later life-flighted to Winnipeg, with life-threatening injuries.
A 25-year-old woman, from The Pas, was transported to hospital where she was treated and released.
As a result of the crash, Provincial Road 287 was closed between Clearwater Lake and Cormorant until Sunday morning.
The Pas RCMP, along with an RCMP Forensic Collision Reconstructionist, continue to investigate.

Article contentIt is 100 per cent true that many of the “dot-coms” back then had no earnings and no real business model. But even the bellwethers that did have earnings and real business models got caught up in the World Wide Web mania. Their share prices shot to the moon and then came crashing down to earth, but only after the first major disappointment (God forbid, Cisco Systems Inc. missed its EPS number by a penny, which got the ball rolling) did reality begin to set in.
These megacap tech companies are still around today, but most went through a huge three-year bear market when their stock prices dove 60 per cent or more. You would have been a laughingstock to have predicted this future in the opening months of 2000. And, of course, the internet was transformational in our professional and personal lives, just as generative AI will very likely prove to be. That is not the point.
The next issue of Investor will soon be in your inbox
We could have said the same thing about shipbuilders
railways and the Nifty Fifty concept stocks as well
but the financial economy is not the same thing as the real economy
The real economy does not go through irrational exuberance — investors do
The one thing we do know with certainty is that money is an extremely emotional thing
That is what we are talking about: the extreme emotion of greed and how to make a quick buck in the equity market
Even though the valuations are less extreme today
we are still experiencing a phase of top-decile P/E multiples of all time
We are up to 42 per cent of the S&P 500 market cap being dominated by tech and telecom
back to the degree of concentration prevailing in 1999 and 2000
The market is juiced up on the excitement of the 25 per cent surge in the S&P 500 since November
only one-third of which can be explained by earnings or earnings estimates by the consensus analyst community — if this was just about earnings alone
The 600-plus-point gap between that earnings-driven reality and where we are today is simply due to the anticipation of what the total addressable market for AI will look like in the future
fully 60 per cent has come from just 10 companies and more than 20 per cent from Nvidia alone
This lopsidedness and degree of frothiness resemble the late 1990s more than any other cycle in modern history
followed by concerns over the uncertainty surrounding Y2K
The 10-year T-note yield is roughly 180 basis points above the average of both the past five and 10 years; 130 basis points above the average of the past 20 years; and 40 basis points above the average of the past 30 years
But the most apt comparison is with the average of the past five years
emphasizing that it is the change in interest rates and not the level that matters for growth
and keeping in mind that it takes time for the economy to reset to shifting economic backdrops in both directions
1979-1980 and 1982 have we ever seen such a huge gap between the spot 10-year yield and the average over the prior five years
I cannot believe the narrative that in the most credit-driven economy of all time
There is nothing more fundamental to anything in the economy or financial asset valuations than interest rates
Perhaps that is why Albert Einstein once said compound interest was the “eighth wonder of the world.” Perhaps he knew a thing or two about basic math and that the laws of physics apply to capital markets and how future economic growth rates get discounted
I see no such level of sophistication today
“Why haven’t you been more bullish on the S&P 500?”
I will tell you with 100 per cent conviction that generative AI and the graphics processing unit (GPU) wave have not changed the relationship between discount rates and the present value of future cash flows; the impact interest rates have on the cost of capital and C-suite decisions on long-term business spending decisions; or the effect interest rates exert on the ability of households to finance expenditures on housing
autos and all other major debt-reliant durable goods commitments
with a general belief that the business cycle has been repealed
I can tell you one thing that is exactly the same as was the case at the bubble peak in the first quarter of 2000: the household financial asset mix concentrated in equities (including pensions) is 76 per cent
This share tops 60 per cent for the 80-million-strong retiree or near-retiree baby boomer class
nobody has taken profits and nobody has rebalanced the portfolio
The cost of protecting against any downside in the stock market is some 40 per cent cheaper than the long-run norm
believe they need it in the mistaken belief that bear markets and recessions have become relics of the past
