Sense on Cents

I truly appreciate the opportunity to get information and data from the ‘canaries in the coal mine’ rather than the highly biased views from many paid political or business pundits talking their position.

On this note, I always keep a keen eye out for the surveys of the many hundreds if not thousand-plus CFOs collated by those at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business. In the most recent release, over a thousand CFOs offer their take on the following:

1. Impact of Obamacare for their hiring plans in 2014
2. Global economic outlook for 2014
3. Thoughts on Social Security reform
4. Plans for charitable giving including a startling take on how giving — or not — companies in Europe are.

The clip runs a mere 5-minutes. I found it to be very worthwhile.

Navigate accordingly.

I thank those at Fuqua who share this with me.
