Waching daily Aug 3 2017

Hi, Louis Mosca.

American Management Services here in Orlando, Florida.

Today's topic is fake news.

So, last week I read an article on Forbes.com that the NFIB say the top reasons

small business owners don't sleep at night is regulation, Affordable Care Act, taxes

-- issues like that.

I have to tell you I think that's kind of ridiculous.

I deal with small businesses everyday.

There are approximately 20 some-odd plus million small businesses in the United States.

Most of them do under $1 million a year.

And I will tell you, we deal with thousands and thousands of small businesses everyday.

Realistically speaking, here's what keeps a small business owner up at night; cash:

not enough money in his checking account; sales: his pipeline -- his sales, his volumes

-- are not where it needs to be; or people: they need quality people and they

can't find them.

So, the concept of that the Affordable Care Act scares them, or keeps them up at night,

is ridiculous since most small businesses don't have 50 employees.

So, that's kind of ridiculous.

Second thing, the concept that they're worried about regulations.

Come on, most small businesses do under $1 million a year, so I'm really a little concerned

how regulations really keep small business owners awake at night.

And the third thing about paying taxes: well, guess what?

The more money you make the more taxes you're supposed to pay.

Why would that keep them up at night?

Only if they don't have enough cash, right?

Which brings us back to what really does keep them up at night; cash: what's in their checkbook;

not enough sales in their pipeline, not enough sales, not enough activity going on; and finding

good quality people.

Look, I don't mean to be an antagonist, but fake news is fake news and whoever wrote that

article and why it got printed the way it did, that

was not a legitimate poll.

Stay well, folks.

Have a great day.

Lucas Perez to Fenerbahce: Turkish club in talks with Arsenal for months - agent

Lucas Perez has been tipped to leave Arsenal this summer due to his lack of game time last season.

The 28-year-old started just nine matches last term and wants to play more in order to boost his chances of making the Spain squad for the 2018 World Cup.

A number of clubs have been linked with the winger, including his former side Deportivo La Coruna and Newcastle United.

However, Perezs agent Rodrigo Fernandez Lovelle has denied receiving any offers from the Premier League, insisting Fenerbahce are leading the charge for his signature.

  "We are in talks with Fenerbahce but Arsene Wenger does not want a loan move," Lovelle told website TurkishFootball. "Wenger wants €15m [£13.4m] for Lucas.

He still has another three-years on his contract so Arsenal hold all the cards. "Fenerbahce, two Spanish teams and a Bundesliga side have made an offer for Lucas.

"Fenerbahce are the most serious and we have been in talks for two months." Speaking this month about his future at Arsenal, Perez said: I want to leave to play and be happy.

Last year I barely had any opportunities and when I had them I took advantage of them and this season is clearly going to be more of the same. I want to fight to go to the national team.

I want to play football, but for that I have to leave. I cannot continue this way. I have given everything, but that has not been reciprocated, so I cant stand it any longer.
