Notes You Need for February 22: oil inventories, MIC, U.S. dollar, Treasury auction, AMZN, PRGO, net neutrality

In my daily trawling through the market I come upon lots of tidbits of knowledge that I think are important to investors but that don’t justify a full post. I’ve decided to start compiling these notes here each day in a kind of running mini blog that I’m calling Notes You Need. A typical post resembles this one from today: “1:40 p.m.: Amazon (AMZN) has launched its own Basic Care line of more than 60 over-the-counter health products. The products are produced by Perrigo )PRGO), a private-label healthcare manufacturer, for Amazon. Perrigo reports earnings on February 27. “

In my daily trawling through the market I come upon lots of tidbits of knowledge that I think are important to investors but that don’t justify a full post. I’ve decided to start compiling these notes here each day in a kind of running mini blog that I’m calling Notes You Need. A typical post resembles this from today: “11:40 a.m.: Global debt rose to a record $233 trillion in the third quarter of 2017, more than $16 trillion higher than at the end of 2016, according to the Institute of International Finance. Private non-financial sector debt hit all-time highs in Canada, France, Hong Kong, South Korea, Switzerland and Turkey. Thanks to global economic growth, though, the ratio of debt-to-gross domestic product fell for the fourth consecutive quarter. The ratio is now around 318%, 3 percentage points below a high set in the third quarter of 2016.”

In my daily trawling through the market I come upon lots of tidbits of knowledge that I think are important to investors but that don’t justify a full post. I’ve decided to start compiling these notes here each day in a kind of running mini blog that I’m calling Notes You Need. Posts in this mini-blog include items like this: 11:40 a.m.: “Bloomberg calculates that over the past 12 months, Tesla (TSLA) has burned cash at a rate of about $8,000 a minute (or $480,000 an hour.) At this pace, the company is on track to exhaust its current cash pile on Monday, August 6, 2018. Last week the company announced plans to require a $250,000 down payment from prospective buyers of its new Founders Series Roadster, even though the car is more than two years away. Reservations on its regular Roadster will cost $50,000. Companies can also pre-order electric Semi trucks for a $5,000 deposit with production scheduled to start in 2019. Despite these deposits Wall Street analysts project that Tesla will need to raise $2 billion by the middle of 2018.”
