MIP #420 - Inflation Report With Rich Posson

MIP #420 Inflation Report - With Rich Posson Summary In this episode, Casey Seymour and Richard Posson discuss the recent CPI report and its implications for inflation and interest rates. They analyze the surprising inflation numbers and the market's reaction to them. They also explore the impact of inflation on the real estate market and the potential for manufacturing to shift back to the United States. Additionally, they examine the current trends in the real estate market and the effect of low interest rates on home buying. Richard Posson discusses various topics related to the economy, stock market, and interest rates in this conversation. He emphasizes the importance of locking in low-interest rates and the potential impact of the Federal Reserve on inflation. Posson also shares his optimistic outlook for the stock market and economy, highlighting the potential of AI and the importance of long-term trends. He discusses the behavior of companies about inflation and the possibility of a Goldilocks scenario. Additionally, Posson touches on oil prices, the dollar index, and the struggle with interest rates. Takeaways The CPI report showed a slight increase in inflation, which surprised the market and raised concerns about the Fed's interest rate decision. The government's inflation calculation differs from private sector calculations, causing confusion and uncertainty. The real estate market is experiencing a shift as interest rates and prices fluctuate, but overall, it remains stable. Manufacturing will likely see a combination of onshoring and investment in emerging markets like India. Locking low-interest rates can provide a cushion and protect against potential increases. Although the Federal Reserve's actions may have contributed to lowering inflation, the free market system and consumer behavior also played a role. The stock market and economy are expected to experience short-term volatility, but the long-term outlook remains positive. Balancing inflation and economic growth is crucial; companies' behavior can impact inflation levels. The potential of AI and the importance of long-term trends should be considered when making investment decisions.

MIP #417 Is Bigger Better With Jon Miller Krone North America

Moving Iron's Official Data Partner Is Fusable, The Home of Iron Solutions And EDA Data. Ignite Your Dealership's Growth At Fusable.com MIP #417 Is Bigger Better with Jon Miller Summary In this episode of the Moving Iron Podcast, host Casey Seymour interviews John Miller, the used equipment manager for Krone North America. They discuss John's background and experience in the industry, the role of used equipment managers, the Krone company store model, trends in the chopper market, the use of tracks in equipment, and the outlook for the industry in 2024 and beyond. They also explore the impact of equipment prices on the market and the challenges used equipment managers face. The conversation explores the Volatility in the used equipment market, the ease of justifying used equipment purchases, budgeting for new equipment, the impact of price increases on trade-ins, challenges in the secondary market, limited demand for large equipment, the importance of infrastructure and support equipment, exploring international markets, the challenges of the global market, and the importance of networking events. Takeaways Used equipment managers play a crucial role in the dealership, influencing the selling of equipment and managing inventories. The Krone company store model is used strategically in areas with a strong market for Krone products but lacks dealer representation. The chopper market is trending towards larger machines, but there are limitations due to road width restrictions and infrastructure constraints. Using tracks in equipment is not currently a significant focus for Krone, as the premium cost and limited demand make it less attractive to customers. The outlook for the industry in 2024 is expected to be similar to 2023, with gradual declines in auction values. However, 2025 may present more challenges due to economic and political factors. The high prices of new equipment and the compounding effect on used prices create challenges for buyers and sellers. The used equipment market is experiencing Volatility, with fluctuations in supply and demand. Used equipment is more accessible to justify for producers, as it serves as spare equipment and is more affordable than new equipment. Budgeting for new equipment is standard for larger operators, who regularly trade in gear to keep it under warranty and maintain efficiency. Price increases in new equipment impact the trade-in value of used equipment, making it more challenging to sell. The secondary market for large equipment faces challenges due to limited demand and the need for additional infrastructure and support equipment. Exploring international markets can solve the saturated domestic market but comes with challenges. Networking events provide valuable opportunities for industry professionals to connect and share insights.
