Google about to push into video games

Project Stream: Focus on a Netflix-like game streaming service

More likely to release a very inexpensive piece of hardware:a bare-bones Chromecast-like device rather than a brawny PS4-like device.

That device could potentially serve as a means of enabling Bluetooth gamepads to function on a television, and as a means of accessing Google’s game streaming service. It could be as small as a Chromecast or as big as a cable box.

What to buy when the market is in the late cycle (stocks)

4 phases of eco cycle: early phase, mid phase, late phase and recession?

Sectors to consider in a late cycle market:?

- Consumer staples:?Products and services in consumer staples will still be in demand even if the economy slows. These stocks include food, beverages, waste services, funeral services.?

- Healthcare sector:Healthcare is an area where people are still spending on even if their deposable income is not growing. The healthcare sector is also a sector with growth potential as we are seeing longer lifespans for people.

-Energy and Materials:?Energy producers are reaching new production highs but demand is still increasing. This may mean energy supply may still fall short of demand.

-Utilities:?Consumers will consistently use utilities even if the economy is not doing well. Utility stocks tend to perform badly when the economy is booming in the early and mid-cycles but do well in economic slower times such as the late and recession cycle.

-Telecommunications:They become popular again in the late to recession cycles. They can be used as a defensive strategy when the economy is slowing.?
