#standwithme the documentary - Ending Childhood Slavery

My wife Sam and I recently went to see the documentary called #standwithme.  We were incredibly moved by this story of a 9 year old girl with a goal of freeing 500 children from slavery. 

 

Film Synopsis

Only a 9-year-old would dream a lemonade stand could change the world. After seeing a photo of two enslaved boys in Nepal, Vivienne Harr is moved to help in the only way she knows how: by setting up her lemonade stand. With the goal of freeing 500 children from slavery, she sets up her stand every day, rain or shine. In telling Vivienne’s story, #standwithme examines the realities of modern-day slavery, the role we play in it as consumers, and the importance of knowing the story behind what we buy.

 

After seeing the movie we felt the best way for us to be able to help with this cause was to increase awareness.  Most Charitable solicitations are for money, we decided that we would do the opposite!

 

Please take 3 minutes to watch the trailer for this documentary below, but I think that watching the entire 64 minute documentary will significantly shift how you see the world.

Keep Calm and Carry On

I believe that the intended message from the Federal Reserve’s announcement on Wednesday was for investors to Keep Calm and Carry on.  The Fed has hope that the continued increase in Asset Prices will bolster economic growth.  Domestic growth is slowly increasing and as the economy grows the Fed would like to see a moderate increase in inflation.  If Inflation increases too rapidly the Fed may have to change course and begin raising rates.

 

Commodity prices are a very good indicator of global growth and can be a good measure of inflationary pressure.  A look at the chart below shows that commodity prices have actually been going down which is the opposite of what the Fed would like to see.  This scenario allows for the Fed to hold rates lower for a longer period of time in the hopes that the stimulus will continue to help the economy grow.

The message I think the Fed wanted to send was that they have more time and that they would like for the markets to “Keep Calm and Carry On”.
