  Jorge Lemann is behind some of America's most iconic consumer brands.
  The Brazilian billionaire's investment company, 3G Capital, has backed takeovers of Kraft, Heinz, Burger King, and Anheuser-Busch.
  And it isn't likely finished.

• China is walking into a trap

  04-09-2016 17:11 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  China is in a hairy situation.
  Communist Party officials are upping the risks of a "middle-income trap" after enjoying decades of rapid growth. This kind of stagnation has ensnared many countries in Latin American and Southeast Asia.
  We all know that China is trying to pull off an economic pivot while allowing market forces to play a “decisive role” to fix overcapacity. However, the government isn't truly committed to c

• BARCLAYS: A lot of pros are getting these 5 things wrong about the oil industry (WTI, OIL, USO, CVX, RDS.A)

  04-09-2016 16:20 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Barclays would like to clarify a few things about crude oil production.
  In a note to clients on Wednesday, Michael Cohen, the head of energy commodities research, wrote that the central story of the oil market right now is misunderstood. That's the market's rebalancing, or a reduction in supply to come closer to demand levels, which would lift prices. 
  "Global supply and demand estimates are extremely prone to error and are frequently revised in both directions," Cohen wrote.

• Wall Street analysts are predicting their own grim fate

  There are going to be fewer Wall Street stock analysts in the future, according to some Wall Street stock analysts.
  That's right. Research analysts who do deep dives on the future of various industries and provide stock-specific calls to investors have taken a look at their own employers and decided that their profession is at risk.
  The analysts in question are a group at Bank of America Merrill Lynch led by Andrew Stimpson. They published a big note on how technology is going to change investme

• Why you're about to see a lot more Chinese acquisitions of ad tech firms

  04-09-2016 15:36 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Another day, another Chinese group splashing  out on ad tech.
  On Monday, a group of Chinese investors dropped $900 million in cash on Media.net, a little-known ad-tech firm based in New York and Dubai that provides the tech for the contextual ads on Yahoo and Bing, Bloomberg reported.
  Media.net touted the purchase as the "third largest ad tech deal ever," although the purchase is a little more complex than that and involves the Chinese consortium selling the firm to a Beijing-base

• Here's the fastest growing city in every state

  04-09-2016 15:33 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  The US Census Bureau recently released their annual population estimates for 749 incorporated cities with at least 50,000 residents.
  We previously looked at the fastest growing and shrinking cities across the US, and now we turn to individual states.
  Using the Census data, we found the city of at least 50,000 residents with the highest population growth rate over the year between July 1, 2014, and July 1, 2015, in (almost every) US state.
  Unfortunately, Vermont had no cities above the population

• The days of swashbuckling hedge fund managers are over

  04-09-2016 14:45 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Hedge funds have gone from fighting the establishment to being a part of it.
  That's according to contrarian hedge fund manager Hugh Hendry, who cofounded Eclectica Asset Management.
  He told Real Vision TV in an interview released Friday that hedge funds aren't taking the same risks they used to, and that's hurting returns.
  "Their right role is to be pirates, to be questioning, be challenging the consensus. And today, it's more like the Royal Navy," he said.

• The most anticipated economic event of the year is almost here — here's what could ruin it (SPY, SPX, DJI, IXIC, TLT, TLO, USD, IWIM, DXY)

  04-09-2016 12:00 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  For a second year in a row, markets are obsessed with when the Federal Reserve will raise rates.
  No one knows whether the announcement will come after the meeting on September 21, November 2 or December 14, or at another time. 
  On Friday, the final jobs report before the Fed's upcoming meeting was "fairly uneventful" and not good enough to prompt a rate hike, Carl Tannenbaum, chief economist at Northern Trust, told Business Insider. 
  The US economy added 151,000 jobs in Augus

  One in six American malls are expected to disappear in the next decade. That's scary news for many communities. 
  Visits to malls declined by 50% between 2010 and 2013, according to real estate research firm Cushman & Wakefield. Analysts expect upcoming data will show an even steeper drop in mall traffic.
  Mall closures could have terrifying implications for communities, Howard Davidowitz, chairman of Davidowitz & Associates, a national retail-consulting and i
