A group of wealthy, successful, and global people all together makes for a very important event. One that needs to be followed closely. The meetings and deals made this week at Davos will make waves in the business and political field. A smart and wise investor like yourself will follow all news closely but when groups of major decision makers get together it makes it of the utmost importance to follow even closer. The CEOs and leaders here are discussing their ideas about what is coming in the new year and what they feel about the outlook. This year the business leaders are optimistic but hesitant about certain things that could change the landscape like regulations and political changes. A PricewaterhouseCoopers (one of the big four accounting firms) annual survey finds that 39% of CEOs think earnings for their company will go up this year. As good investors keeping up with changing information, we should really focus on the forum and the ideas discussed.
It is a great place for the major stakeholders to meet new people the can build stronger businesses. I might not have access to all the information provided there because I did not attend, I can know that it is important and something to watch. Any news of possible deals or themes in the forum can have an impact on stocks and investing. Companies whose stock you own attend the Forum and you hear that the CEO met with a major distributor and a major politician in an emerging market you might think that they are making headwinds in gaining new sales and in new areas. This might be a time to buy more stock especially if you have free cash on hand.
Davos is an expensive ticket and means that you are something if you go. It can really change a company's direction when they go. That is why knowledgable investors pay attention to discussions andy themes at Davos and really any major event with thousands of movers of the economy, everyone should pay attention and make decisions about future events. I will probably comment about any important thing I hear that happens in Davos this year. I'm thinking emerging markets, free trade and regulations, and the world's poor will be important this year to movers and shakers at the forum.
