Investments in 2014: All That Glittered Was Not Gold [But Brown And Black]

News Analysis: Coffee was the Investment Return Leader for the year, thanks to changing weather conditions and increased customer demand for the brew. If one looks carefully, he or she will see that as to Investments in 2014: All that glittered was not gold [but brown and black].

It is interesting to note that most commodities nose-dived in the on-going World-Wide Economic Slump, as did many financial instruments of many types.

Low interest rates allowed many corporations to borrow funds for repurchase of their stocks; thus boosting their prices. Since there is really little, in terms of economic prosperity, of demand for manufacturer’s goods, one can see an artificial economic bubble growing in size and based on mere holograms [for current Stock Markets]. Stock Markets love ‘Freiers’.

In 2015, as we have stated previously, Commercial Aircraft Manufacturers will have had their “Golden Fleece” taken from them i.e., the high prices of Aviation Fuel. Along with this, the Sukhoi Superjet 100 Aircraft, with Italy’s Alenia Aermacchi,  [which is currently Aviation Agencies’ Certified and flying] will cut into “Single Aisle” Jet Sales of the two Major Airframes. At approximately 35-40 percent of cost to Airlines, why pay more?

 Along with this, the Chinese Single Aisle, C919, was just Chinese Aviation Agency Certified, and will cut into the grossly profitable sales manufactured by the other Major Airframes.

Downstream, the Chinese/Russian Joint COMAC 929, 290 Passenger Jet, and COMAC 939, 390 Passengers Jet are being developed. The availability of funding for these projects by Chinese and Russian interests does NOT bode well for the existing two Major Airframes. Both, will “Pooh-Pooh” any suggestion of their losing market share [and huge profits]; they will probably seek government [surreptitious] interventions  to reduce the threats. Since America’s greatest monetary export manufacturer will be affected, International Businessmen can sit back and watch the machinations occur as Washington Politicians get desperate.

The long term outlook for both Major Airframes is one of high profit unsustainablility. The estimated $20,000,000.00 the aforementioned Airframe allegedly receives in Local, State, and Federal Grants PER AIRCRAFT, will help attenuate the pain perhaps.

Long term, a strong “Short Position” is warranted by International Businessmen and may be considered.

In 2015. we suggest focusing on Food for Seven Billion+ World Inhabitants; EVERYONE MUST EAT.

Conjoined with this idea, is that Climate Change should be carefully evaluated for geographic realities in regards to droughts,  rainfalls, severe weather, etc. thus affecting global food production.

There are other key areas in which to focus one’s evaluations and monies on for 2015 and beyond. To those who consult with us, we will be more than happy to share our analyses. To those who have obviously listened to their Financial Bankers, Brokers, and Gurus, we can only say: The Losing Investments outnumbered the Winners by a substantial margin. These ‘Masters of the Universe’ fates for 2014, in following the herd, have already been sealed, unfortunately for them.

Reality.

Two Bombardier of Canada Twin-Engine Canadair CRJ-200 Jets Make Emergency Landings in 24 Hours in the Same City!

News Analysis: Two Bombardier Of Canada Twin-Engine Canadair CRJ-200 Jets Make Emergency Landings In 24 Hours In Same City is Very Unusual! The fact that they are from the same Manufacturer and are of the same Model adds to the Events’ Exclusivity. The Passengers’ and Crews’ Anxiety of  landing in the same city in Yekaterinburg, Russia within 24 hours is different.

In the First Emergency Landing, Left Engine Failure caused the happening. Since only one other Engine is available, flying (Solo Power) in  Winter Weather is not advised. Perhaps the Propulsion System was affected by the Mildly  Cold of approximately -3C (26.6F)?

The Second Emergency Landing of  this CRJ-200 had its Navigation System Fail. The Wise Pilot decided to Immediately Abort the flight and land.  Again, Moderate Cold Weather might be found to cause this Emergency Landing. A different aircraft was used to take passengers to their destination.

Two such Immediate “Canadair” CRJ-200 incidents occurring, albeit for different Aircraft Systems, can give impetus to Russian Citizenry for President Vladimir Putin’s Wise Idea. He suggests: “Russians building Russian Aircraft with Russian-built Components that can handle ‘Russian Weather'”.

Strong Metallic (Titanium, Stainless Steel, and Alloyed Aluminum) Aircraft, should be used in conjunction with Efficient Airplane Design and Construction. Any Unusual Aircraft Technologies, not of Russian Creation,  can be Purchased from the Manufacturers. Especially those of other countries who respect Russian Aviation and want to assist its growth Internationally.

This combination will make Russian Commercial Aircraft Competitive to any other Country’s Products for airlines.

Russians need to follow the Inspirations from their Aviation Manufacturing Pioneers such as: Ilyushin, Mikoyan, Sukhoi, Tupolev, and Yakolev. They have a great history and will certainly have a Prosperous Aircraft Future.

Reality.

Russian Aircraft are to be Russian Sourced

News Analysis: Russian Aircraft Are To Be Russian Sourced per President Vladimir Putin. His Appropriate Decision will mean Long-Term Benefit to the Russian Aircraft Industry. In Russia: Aircraft Design and Engineering Capabilities are present; Fabrication Equipment exists; Metal Resources are prodigious;  Personnel are available. Now, an important element of the ‘Aircraft Fabrication Industry’ has been provided: Presidential Direction.

The Purchasing of Aircraft Componentry made by others is a ‘Short-Term Solution’ which does NOT provide a Nation with ‘Long-Term Benefits’. By manufacturing most Componentry in Russia, employees of this industry gain necessary experience. Better quality aircraft can be manufactured at Lesser Costs in a Russia than that of Out-Sourced Supplied Aircraft. Non-Duplicatable Systems should be Out-Sourced, as, once in a while, might also be Aerospace Consultancy, if appropriate.

Antonov, Beriev, Ilyushin, Mikoyan, Sukhoi, Tupolev, Yakovlev, and other Russians have preceded Today’s Russians. The Men and Women of present Russia have the excellent histories of these Aircraft Predecessors to emulate.
