Windows Of Opportunity In Business Cycle Analysis - Seekingalpha.com

Amid all the recession talk of late, there's a lot of chatter about the value of predicting these events. One line of reasoning advises that unless you're capable of anticipating recessions with a fair amount of lead time, the situation is hopeless. Actually, no-reality is far more nuanced than this one-dimensional claim lets on. Different recessions dispatch different degrees of pain on different time schedules. As a result, there can be value in simply recognizing when recessions begin, as early as possible.

Life would be much easier, of course, if we could reliably forecast recessions well in advance and take defensive actions before the storm hits. But history is littered with failure here. What's more, it's never really clear if the claimed forecasting successes relied completely on a methodology vs. a bit of luck. In any case, the debate about predicting inspires looking for the telltale signs of economic slumps once the process has started and once the negative trend is clearly terminal. Designed properly, this approach can be quite effective, in part because it's not subject to the higher error rates of pure forecasting. I outlined a test on this front last week, and the results come with an encouraging record. It's not rocket science, but it's effective, as I discuss in a book I'm writing on the topic. In any case, the world is awash in predictions; what's missing is a robust model for recognizing that a recession is already upon us. That alone can't solve all our troubles with macro, but it's not worthless either.

Waiting for a recession to declare itself in convincing terms may seem like a pointless exercise, but in fact there's often a chance to prepare for the worst-even after the storm has recently started pummeling us. Consider the Great Recession. By NBER's estimate, January 2008 was the economy's first full month of broad decline. My research suggests that by the spring of that year, the data was clearly revealing, in real time, that the economy was in trouble. But wasn't the jig up in January? Hadn't the window of opportunity already closed by the first of the year? Not necessarily.

As one test, let's compare the stock market's one-year rolling return for the first 12 months of Great Recession with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year annualized counterparts. One-year returns were already negative by the time the recession started in January. But a roughly 4% loss at the end of the year's first month deteriorated dramatically as the recession unfolded. Meanwhile, the 3-, 5- and 10-year annualized returns for the S&P 500 remained positive through August 2008, offering investors a chance to preserve quite a bit of the gains earned previously before all hell broke loose in September 2008 and beyond.

Looking at a variety of economic indicators also reminds that the Great Recession's pain didn't arrive as an across-the-board bolt out of the blue early on. For instance, retail sales and new orders for durable goods held up surprisingly well during the first half of 2008. Although both series weakened as the year progressed, it was hardly the case that the worst of the contraction had struck in these corners at the beginning of the recession.

To be fair, the window of opportunity for defensive action, once a recession begins, can and does vary considerably through history. But it's misleading to argue that all of the damage is always dispatched up front. That may be true for some financial indicators and/or economic series in some recessions, but it's far from an iron rule.

In other words, developing a relatively reliable methodology for recognizing when a contraction has started can offer a surprisingly powerful bit of strategic information. But there's a catch: You have to be looking for it, and the search requires an analytical lens that's somewhat different than the usual suspects that are deployed for predicting recessions.

Meanwhile, positive offsets are driven by central banks (particularly China) cutting rather than hiking rates, deceleration in fuel and food prices, increase in consumer sentiment and resulting retail sales, signs of improvement in housing sales and new strength in auto production schedules.

Despite the current situation, our team continues to identify high momentum situations with growth potential -- there remains strong opportunity within careful discretion.

Data Analysis Software helps users exploit market opportunities. - ThomasNet Industrial News Room

Business users can better drive innovation, exploit market opportunities, and react to competitive pressures.

SAN DIEGO, -- Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the leading analytic data solutions company, today introduced Teradata Data Lab software, a self-service, on-demand workshop within a Teradata warehouse that enables businesses to rapidly explore and test new ideas and data to innovate, identify trends, or immediately react to business conditions.

Please follow this link to view the full social media version of this news release on Teradata.com

http://www.teradata.com/News-Releases...

"The Teradata Data Lab empowers business users to start building new analytics in less than five minutes," said Scott Gnau, president, Teradata Labs, Teradata. "This agility pays off for business users looking to achieve competitive advantage, while benefiting IT organizations with the lowest total cost of ownership, embedded security and privacy controls, and ease of maintenance. In addition, our customers now have the ability to easily deploy the newly-developed analytics and applications."

"The Teradata Data Lab is another critical innovation for Bouygues Telecom. It provides each business unit with a private 'sandbox' for creating experimental designs, one-time business intelligence (BI) requests, and ad hoc queries," said Marielle Vo-Van Liger, director of Business Intelligence and Customer Knowledge, Bouygues Telecom. "Once established, the BI analytic is funneled back into the enterprise data warehouse where it can be shared. IT monitors the sandbox activity to ensure satisfactory performance of strategic queries, efficient data loading, and economical reporting processes."

"Self-service analytic workspaces, or sandboxes, offer a valuable and important alternative to uncontrolled data marts for building analytic prototypes and models, and experimenting with data," said Colin White, president of BI Research. "The Teradata Data Lab introduces a valuable and powerful tool for deploying and governing these sandboxes."

The Teradata Data Lab, a self-service analytic environment, provides business analysts and IT professionals with on-demand database space and system resources for short-term projects such as ad hoc analysis, proof-of-concept, application evaluation, or quality assurance testing. The lab enables quick assimilation of new data into a separate portion of the data warehouse, where it can be analyzed along with insight-rich data already in the warehouse, to quickly prove success or fail fast, and move on.

"Self-service business intelligence is a valuable step forward, but it often pits business users, who want unfettered access to data in order to drive innovation through new analytics, against IT managers who are responsible for the environment's security, performance, and quality," said Claudia Imhoff, president, Intelligent Solutions, Inc. "Teradata Data Labs gives both communities all that they need, business users have open access to valuable assets and IT managers are able to monitor and exert oversight."

Without the Teradata Data Lab, business users struggle to integrate untested data with their business data because of data warehouse governance policies and other safeguards. When business users make requests to their IT department for temporary data loads to the warehouse the wait time may be weeks or even months. As a result, users often deploy an expensive "skunk works" data mart. The data mart requires data replication on external servers, as well as, additional software, and places a burden on company resources to support the systems. These obstacles make it virtually impossible for users to test and explore new 'what if' scenarios that can lead to breakthrough business discoveries.

The Teradata Data Lab provides customers with this capability, which drives innovation and business advancement, as these examples demonstrate:

Media Company - The marketing director for a major media company has just launched a campaign to promote the bundling of phone, television, and Internet services. He needs to analyze marketing campaign results, so he can do an analysis to understand the impact on corporate revenue. However, the IT group has a two-month backlog of requests and can't meet the director's need to get the results within hours in order to plan his next move. Instead, the director uses the Teradata Data Lab to create a workspace within the production warehouse and immediately begins his analysis and realignment of the campaign to meet quarterly revenue expectations.

Retail Chain- To accelerate holiday sales volume from its retail outlets, a business analyst wants to use location data to identify strategic locations to open temporary holiday outlets. The analyst needs to test various scenarios in order to determine the optimum locations, but he can't test this without building a prototype. The Teradata Data Lab allows the analyst to build a prototype of the geospatial application and combine the company's existing data with new location data. Within hours, the proof of concept is performed within the Teradata data warehouse yields the most advantageous locations to open temporary holiday outlets and increase revenues.

Financial Institution - A financial institution wants to expand its small business loan portfolio and customer base by acquiring another institution. To make a timely decision, a due diligence review must be performed to include analysis of thousands of accounts and many product lines offered in multiple states. The acquiring institution's business analysts used the Teradata Data Lab to quickly combine relevant data from both institutions. Although the potential take-over target looked attractive, the analysts learned that it wouldn't be a profitable acquisition, because the customers were not in the appropriate market segment and offered limited growth potential.

"Business user accessibility to the data and analytic tools must keep pace with the demands of our business," said Renee DePalo, manager, Information Management and Business Insights, Pharmaceutical Segment, Cardinal Health. "The data lab within our Teradata data warehouse is accelerating our ability to turn big data into meaningful, valuable business insights for our internal customers."

The Teradata Data Lab simplifies implementation, governance, and management, and alerts the database administrators when it approaches expiration dates, or space limitations. It is subject to workload management criteria, which ensures that rogue or complex queries don't impact warehouse production users. From design to implementation, Teradata Professional Services help guide optimal results every step of the way.

Data Analysis Software helps users exploit market opportunities. - ThomasNet Industrial News Room

Business users can better drive innovation, exploit market opportunities, and react to competitive pressures.

SAN DIEGO, -- Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the leading analytic data solutions company, today introduced Teradata Data Lab software, a self-service, on-demand workshop within a Teradata warehouse that enables businesses to rapidly explore and test new ideas and data to innovate, identify trends, or immediately react to business conditions.

Please follow this link to view the full social media version of this news release on Teradata.com

http://www.teradata.com/News-Releases...

"The Teradata Data Lab empowers business users to start building new analytics in less than five minutes," said Scott Gnau, president, Teradata Labs, Teradata. "This agility pays off for business users looking to achieve competitive advantage, while benefiting IT organizations with the lowest total cost of ownership, embedded security and privacy controls, and ease of maintenance. In addition, our customers now have the ability to easily deploy the newly-developed analytics and applications."

"The Teradata Data Lab is another critical innovation for Bouygues Telecom. It provides each business unit with a private 'sandbox' for creating experimental designs, one-time business intelligence (BI) requests, and ad hoc queries," said Marielle Vo-Van Liger, director of Business Intelligence and Customer Knowledge, Bouygues Telecom. "Once established, the BI analytic is funneled back into the enterprise data warehouse where it can be shared. IT monitors the sandbox activity to ensure satisfactory performance of strategic queries, efficient data loading, and economical reporting processes."

"Self-service analytic workspaces, or sandboxes, offer a valuable and important alternative to uncontrolled data marts for building analytic prototypes and models, and experimenting with data," said Colin White, president of BI Research. "The Teradata Data Lab introduces a valuable and powerful tool for deploying and governing these sandboxes."

The Teradata Data Lab, a self-service analytic environment, provides business analysts and IT professionals with on-demand database space and system resources for short-term projects such as ad hoc analysis, proof-of-concept, application evaluation, or quality assurance testing. The lab enables quick assimilation of new data into a separate portion of the data warehouse, where it can be analyzed along with insight-rich data already in the warehouse, to quickly prove success or fail fast, and move on.

"Self-service business intelligence is a valuable step forward, but it often pits business users, who want unfettered access to data in order to drive innovation through new analytics, against IT managers who are responsible for the environment's security, performance, and quality," said Claudia Imhoff, president, Intelligent Solutions, Inc. "Teradata Data Labs gives both communities all that they need, business users have open access to valuable assets and IT managers are able to monitor and exert oversight."

Without the Teradata Data Lab, business users struggle to integrate untested data with their business data because of data warehouse governance policies and other safeguards. When business users make requests to their IT department for temporary data loads to the warehouse the wait time may be weeks or even months. As a result, users often deploy an expensive "skunk works" data mart. The data mart requires data replication on external servers, as well as, additional software, and places a burden on company resources to support the systems. These obstacles make it virtually impossible for users to test and explore new 'what if' scenarios that can lead to breakthrough business discoveries.

The Teradata Data Lab provides customers with this capability, which drives innovation and business advancement, as these examples demonstrate:

Media Company - The marketing director for a major media company has just launched a campaign to promote the bundling of phone, television, and Internet services. He needs to analyze marketing campaign results, so he can do an analysis to understand the impact on corporate revenue. However, the IT group has a two-month backlog of requests and can't meet the director's need to get the results within hours in order to plan his next move. Instead, the director uses the Teradata Data Lab to create a workspace within the production warehouse and immediately begins his analysis and realignment of the campaign to meet quarterly revenue expectations.

Retail Chain- To accelerate holiday sales volume from its retail outlets, a business analyst wants to use location data to identify strategic locations to open temporary holiday outlets. The analyst needs to test various scenarios in order to determine the optimum locations, but he can't test this without building a prototype. The Teradata Data Lab allows the analyst to build a prototype of the geospatial application and combine the company's existing data with new location data. Within hours, the proof of concept is performed within the Teradata data warehouse yields the most advantageous locations to open temporary holiday outlets and increase revenues.

Rising market is a cleansing opportunity’ - Daily News and Analysis

Bhupinder Sethi,head of equities at Tata Mutual Fund, believes that the stock market rally still has legs. His picks are rate-sensitive sectors and the midcap segment. The recent uptrend can be a good opportunity to sell the duds and buy into strong businesses, he tells Nitin Shrivastava in an interview.

What’s your view on the fundamental market valuations post this sharp run-up? Are the valuations justified?
The Sensex has jumped by around 20% from end-December 2011 and is valued around 14 times one year forward earnings. Post the run-up, the extent of undervaluation has definitely reduced, but the market is still quoting below the long-term averages by around 10-12%. Also, over the last four years, while our nominal GDP has grown by around 80%, the BSE Sensex is down by around 15% from the peak level of around 21000 it touched in Jan 2008. This gives a sense of the value that has crept into stock prices as businesses have scaled up over this period of time.

What’s your outlook for the Indian equity markets for the whole year? How should retail investors approach the same?
Given the backdrop of sustained headwinds in 2011, we expect 2012 to be more benign. While there are risks, the equity markets should have a better year hopefully on the back of falling inflation and supportive valuations.
Markets have seen a good uptrend in the last month or so, and generally an uptrend is always a good time to reduce holdings in companies with deteriorating economic fundamentals, poor business models and questionable governance practices.
Systematic investment in good quality companies and investing through mutual funds is what should help retail investors create long-term wealth. That’s what the volatility in the market should be used for, to buy strong businesses on dips during market turmoil, and to treat a rising market as a cleansing opportunity.

There have been domestic headwinds for corporates over the last one year or so. Do you see some of the macro-economic concerns easing?
The Reserve Bank of India has already indicated a change in policy stance towards addressing growth risks from the earlier stance of predominantly managing inflation risks. We believe the RBI could start cutting rates in the next few months. Strong surge in FII inflows in 2012 so far has helped boost the equity markets as well as helped the Indian rupee to strengthen. The surge in the equity market and a better sentiment would also allow some of the leveraged companies to raise equity money to repair their balance sheets. As we speak, two companies have already announced fund-raising plans sensing a better mood in the equity market and a penchant for “risk-on” trade.

What do you make of the Sensex/Nifty earnings this quarter? In which direction do you see them going into fiscal 2013?
The earnings for the quarter ended December 2011, have been largely in line with the beaten down expectations with a marginal positive surprise. One of the key aspects of the results was the continuing robust sales growth at over 20% despite the slowing economy. The operating margins showed signs of stabilisation on a sequential basis, though they were down on a year-on-year basis. Profit growth continued to lag the sales growth by a big margin because of continuing high interest costs.The key takeaway of the earnings season is that the earnings downgrade cycle seems to be bottoming out, whereas in the previous three quarters, the downgrades were prominent.

The sequential stabilisation of operating margins is a key positive going into FY13. Interest costs continue to remain high but are expected to decline in FY13. For FY13, our earnings growth expectations are around 15%.

Which are the sectors you are betting on in the short to medium term and why?
Our core bias remains towards sectors like consumer staples, discretionary, software and pharmaceuticals as also private sector banks and upstream oil and gas. Incrementally though, given the improving macroeconomic conditions and possibility of rate easing, we are also looking at stock-specific opportunities in beaten down interest rate-sensitive sectors. The actual recovery in business may take time for some of these sectors, but the fact is that the stock market is a discounting mechanism; the stock prices are moving up ahead of the event.

Also, we are looking to into buying some better managed midcap companies across sectors, as midcaps tend to outperform large-caps in an uptrending equity market.
