Președintele Donald Trump l-a nominalizat pe economistul Christopher Phelan de la Universitatea din Minnesota pentru a fi următorul președinte al Consiliului Consultativ Economic de la Casa Albă, o poziție cheie pentru analiza economiei și a politicilor administrației, potrivit apnews.com.

👉 Nominalizarea lui Phelan pentru a-l înlocui pe Stephen Miran

Marți, Trump l-a propus pe Phelan pentru a-l înlocui pe Stephen Miran, un economist pregătit la Universitatea Harvard, care a lucrat în fonduri de investiții și a fost numit la Consiliul Rezervei Federale în septembrie anul trecut. Pierre Yared, actualul vicepreședinte al consiliului, a fost lider interimar după ce Trump l-a mutat pe Miran la Rezervea Federală.

Resume-ul lui Phelan sugerează un interes puternic pentru operațiunile băncilor centrale, un subiect de mare interes pentru Trump, care a presat Rezerva Federală să reducă dramatic ratele de dobândă de bază pentru a stimula o creștere mai puternică, deși această strategie ar putea risca o inflație mai mare. Phelan a colaborat ca consultant cu Banca Federală de Rezervă din Minneapolis și a obținut diploma de licență de la Universitatea Duke, urmată de un doctorat la Universitatea din Chicago.

👉 Reacția Casei Albe privind echipa economică condusă de Phelan

„Președintele Trump a reunit cea mai bună și mai experimentată echipă economică din istoria modernă”, a declarat purtătorul de cuvânt al Casei Albe, Kush Desai, care l-a descris pe Phelan drept „o adăugare cheie”. Desai a menționat că Yared, actualul președinte interimar, se va întoarce la profesura sa de la școala de afaceri de la Universitatea Columbia.

'Big Short' investor Michael Burry sells GameStop stake, shorts Palantir stock - Business Insider

Michael Burry says he's given up on GameStop — and ramped up his bet against Palantir."I sold my entire GME position," the investor of "The Big Short" fame wrote in a Monday post on his Substack, adding that it was the first full position he's exited since he pivoted from running a hedge fund to writing online late last year."Any which way I sliced it, the Instant Berkshire thesis was never compatible with >5x Debt/EBITDA, never ok with interest coverage under 4.0x," he wrote."Instant Berkshire" is Burry's idea for GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen to emulate Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway by "creating a portfolio of great companies that generate excess capital or float for additional investment beyond what is required for their growth."Burry wrote in a late April post that GameStop, JD.com, and Molina Healthcare were his three largest positions, and together made up well over a third of his personal stock portfolio.In his late-Monday post, Burry laid out in a graphic why Cohen's $56 billion cash-and-stock offer for eBay is a far cry from the deal he envisioned for GameStop.He estimated the proposed acquisition would burden the combined business with a net-debt-to-profit ratio of 5.2 times, and its yearly profits would only be 2.5 times its annual interest expense.Moreover, he projected that if eBay pushes back and demands $65 billion, then the business could wind up with 7.7 times leverage and a profit-to-interest ratio of 1.2 to 1.5 times.Burry said in an earlier post on Monday that leverage above 5 times was a "knife edge," and 7.7 times was "a level of debt that borders on distressed."In his late-Monday post, Burry said that he "opened an outright short" on Palantir ahead of its Monday earnings, adding that he's "shorting the company because it is worth low double digits at best."Burry said he's not only betting against Palantir because he believes it's overvalued: "I am shorting the business model. I am shorting the entire premise upon which the company rests.
