1. THE END OF THE BIG BOX RETAILER
• Retailers have finally emerged from the doldrums of the 2008 recession, but look surprisingly different then they did just years earlier
• Luxury department stores like Saks, electronics retailers like Best Buy, and mass specialty chains like Abercrombie and Fitch are shuttering mainline stores (just last week A&F said it would also slow international expansion)
Business Insider
To boost margins and sales, retailers are focusing on online channels • Retailers have mostly embraced the digital shift, rolling out online and
mobile sales sites. Consumer pickup has been noticeable, with Urban Outfitters, American Eagle Outfitters, and J.Crew all reporting more than 10 percent of sales driven through direct-to-consumer channels.

Flash sales, the trunk show for the modern age, will shift online sales further • Department stores like Nordstrom, Saks, and Nieman Marcus are just
beginning to see new online competition from flash sale sites • Business Insider Intelligence projects flash sales could hit $6 billion by
2015, fueled by HauteLook, Rue La La, and Gilt Groupe.

2. AMERICA IS AGING
• The U.S. is getting older and a sea of baby boomers are setting their sights on retirement. That is presenting a host of problems that the country will have to face over the next decade, including the ever-increasing life expectancy rates' impact on healthcare costs and social security funding.
Business Insider
The share of older Americans as a percent of the total population is increasing…
• In a report out at the end of last year, the U.S. Census Bureau announced that "people 90 and older now comprise 4.7 percent of the older population (age 65 and older), as compared with only 2.8 percent in 1980. By 2050, this share is likely to reach 10 percent.”

Adding to concerns of senior preparedness are Social Security and Medicare funding issues
“The aging of the baby-boom generation portends a significant and sustained increase in the share of the population receiving benefits from Social Security and Medicare…Without significant changes in government policy, those factors will boost federal outlays relative to GDP well above their average of the past several decades—a conclusion that holds under any plausible assumptions about future trends in demographics, economic conditions, and health care costs.”

3. THE MOBILE REVOLUTION
• Mobile phones have become the most ubiquitous personal-computing technology in the world — surpassing the personal computer — as cellular devices have penetrated previously unreachable landline geographies.
• And the "dumbphone conversion cycle” — the replacement of regular cell phones with smartphones — is about halfway done in the U.S.
Business Insider
There are now 110 million smartphone users in the U.S.
• And consumers tend to choose between two operating systems: Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android. The two now command 84 percent of the U.S. OS pie — that's up from roughly 40 percent two years ago.
The Mobile
Revolution
Business Insider
Over the past several years, the top five U.S. manufacturers have shifted considerably
• Although Samsung continues to lead the U.S. market, with 25.7 percent of total sales in May, the second through fifth largest OEMs are in a tight race. LG and Apple follow closely, while Nokia and RIM have been pushed out.

4. A WEAKENING INFRASTRUCTURE • Underinvestment in major infrastructure projects has weakened the
backbone of the U.S. — it’s interstate highway system. The World Economic Forum currently ranks the U.S. 16th in terms of infrastructure quality.
• Worse, spending is not anticipated to pick up over the next decade.
Business Insider
The country’s highway system is highly strained
• The latest transportation bill, which barely passed, keeps infrastructure spending at current levels of $105 billion over the next two years
• The Urban Land Institute estimates the U.S. will need to spend $2 trillion just to repair current systems

Elevated consumer debt levels are likely to weigh on spending for some time
• Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley economists opined in a recent report on student loan debt:
“It will not be easy for those under the age of 40 to pay down debt given the concentration of student loan debt in this cohort. Many parents who took out student loans for their children will be unable to save enough for retirement, making it difficult for them to pay down debt after they retire. Further, if sluggish incomes lead to continued drawdowns of savings and credit card use, the household deleveraging process could drag on.”

6. THE U.S. ENERGY BOOM
• Commodities garnered substantial attention this year after natural gas and coal prices collapsed amid an unusually warm winter, followed by retreating gas prices in the spring. But forecasts for future energy generation in the U.S. remain surprisingly robust.
• The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that the country could halve its reliance on total energy imports under the best scenarios, and under higher consumption scenarios could lower imports from 24 percent today to 17 percent in 2035.
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration
Business Insider
The need to import energy is expected to decline over the next 20 years • The EIA estimates that most of the gains will come from increases in
natural gas and renewable energy production as a portion of total energy generation. In fact, the EIA sees the U.S. becoming a net liquefied natural gas exporter in 2016 and an overall net exporter of natural gas in 2012.
• Liquid reliance, which depends heavily on auto use and miles driven, is also seen declining as consumption needs by U.S. consumers remain below pre-2008 crisis levels.

As consumers put off new car purchases, the country’s fleet has aged — meaning Americans will have to replace older vehicles soon

Car Culture On The Decline
Business Insider
Over the next several years, auto sales will likely be range bound near 14 million, but there are huge headwinds that could push sales lower “If the density ratio faces a decline each year solely because of the older generations’ tendency to de-stock, the void is left for the younger generations to pick up the slack … The name of the game here is to keep the density ratio as flat as possible (return to 1990s density ratio could equal 12-13mln SAAR for years, stable ratio 14-15mln overnight). In other words, the longer-term outlook for U.S. auto sales in many ways depends upon younger generations accumulating as many vehicles/household as their parents.”

Car Culture On The Decline

And even as the U.S. population continues to increase, Americans are driving less
• Part of that may be due to an increasing shift to urban living — but it’s also due to Americans staying home instead of vacationing as the weak economy persists.

8. THE PARTISAN DIVIDE GROWS
• Over the past two administrations, there’s been a massive increase in political polarization. It’s an ongoing trend independent of demographic and migration shifts.
Business Insider
The increasing partisanship of Congress has negatively impacted the country’s finances • Long term plans for deficit reduction have been deadlocked in
Congress as a debate over added stimulus and cost cutting rages on.
• Congressional malaise led to a downgrade by Standard & Poor’s in 2011, stripping the U.S. of its ‘AAA’ rating. The ratings agency explicitly noted the difficult political backdrop as a reason for its downgrade.

Companies are already buckling under the Fiscal Cliff
• Lockheed Martin claims it would have to cut as many as 10,000 jobs if defense spending is cut at the end of 2012.

And routine federal appointments and programs are now hamstrung by partisan politics • Polarization has made appointments incredibly difficult. President
Obama has had trouble appointing even moderate justices to the bench, and it took him years to fill open slots on the Federal Reserve’s Open Market Committee.
• And votes that used to be routine, like the aforementioned debt ceiling increase, have become fraught with debate as the Tea Party has leveraged its voice over the Right

9. A NEW HEALTHCARE MANDATE
• The Affordable Care Act attempted to do two things, expand healthcare coverage to most Americans and reduce rampantly growing costs.

But spending on healthcare remains exorbitantly high in the U.S. • The issue is the incredible premium Americans pay for medical
services, and the fact that outcomes aren’t better than countries that pay much less.

10. THE PENSION CRISIS
• State pension plans are underfunded by more than $1 trillion with more than 34 states attributing to the shortfalls.
• The problem has been compounded by incredibly low interest rates, making the chase for yield increasingly difficult. Low rates are expected to continue through at least 2014.

States will have to raise taxes to make up for the shortfalls, or significantly cut services • California, one of the worst pension offenders, has already had to

• …And investment banking:
“Our 7.0% [2013 estimate of] post regulatory RoE for the investment banks could fall to 6.6% post this regulation (excluding the impact of the latest market risk proposals).
