Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jacob Lerma ? FRIENDSWOOD  Texas (AP) — As  Jacob Lerma  surveyed the skeletal beams of  his  suburban Houston home that was flooded during Hurricane Harvey   he  kept muttering three words as  he  wondered if  his  family would ever be able to move back in: “I don’t know.”
Like many Texans whose homes were flooded during  Harvey  Lerma  faces mounting expenses and hasn’t paid  his  mortgage in months.  His  insurance payment wasn’t enough to rebuild  his  home and  he  was only offered a small loan after applying with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.  His  last hope is a possible buyout from the city of Friendswood. In the meantime   he    his  wife and two daughters will continue living with  his  parents.
During last year’s hurricane season  mortgage financiers such as Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac encouraged lenders to offer homeowners a forbearance — a temporary suspension or reduction in their mortgage payments — for up to 12 months.  Lerma  got one from  his  lender.
 Lerma  said  his  family is “at a pretty bad point right now” as  he ’s maxed out credit cards and emptied  his  savings. Yet   he  remains hopeful.
“We know we’ll get through it. We’re just riding it out ”  he  said.

Answer: Neutral


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Quentin Clark ? Dropbox disclosed in a public filing last week that  Quentin Clark   its SVP of engineering  product  and design  was paid a total compensation worth $34.6 million in 2017. That includes a prorated base salary of $130 000  a one-time signing bonus of $340 000  and company stock worth $34.1 million  which will vest over five years.
 Clark 's pay package last year is impressive given how Dropbox has hired a number of high-profile executives over the years  including COO Dennis Woodside.  Clark  is relatively little known outside of engineering circles and has maintained a low-profile despite a long engineering career that spans more than two decades.
Prior to joining Dropbox   Clark  held the chief technology officer and chief business officer roles at SAP.
But  Clark  spent the majority of  his  career at Microsoft.  He  spent nearly 20 years in various engineering roles  including as a vice president in charge of the company's database products. In  his  LinkedIn profile   Clark  describes  his  work at Microsoft as having managed "the SQL Server product and the broader data platform work " including Business Intelligence  Big Data products and the cloud data platform work in Azure.
 Clark  also worked on WinFS  a Microsoft project in the early 2000s that aimed to replace the file system in Windows with a more database-like file system. It never shipped  and some insiders blamed it for contributing to the delays that plagued Windows Vista. Bill Gates  then chief software architect  once said on Reddit that not shipping it was his biggest regret among unrealized products.

Answer: Positive


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Robert Kaplan ? PALO ALTO  Calif. (Reuters) -  Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Robert Kaplan  said on Tuesday  he  wants to see more signs of upward inflation before raising interest rates again  but that low long-term borrowing costs may limit how far and fast rates can be raised.
The Fed has raised rates twice this year  and is widely expected to do so again in December. But even as the short-term interest rate targeted by the Fed has climbed  the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury has fallen  a reversal of what usually happens and a development that  Kaplan  said  he  sees as âa little ominous.â
âI view that as a comment on future economic growth â  Kaplan  said at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. âAnd what I donât want to see us do is raise rates so fast that we get an inverted yield curve because history has shown an inverted yield curve has tended to be a precursor to a recession. â
Kaplan  who votes this year on Fed policy   appeared on Tuesday to be wrestling with how to balance the costs of leaving rates low against the potential dangers of raising rates too fast.  He  repeated  his  concern that globalization and technology are keeping inflation muted  despite unemployment that sank in September to 4.2 percent.
While near-full employment is putting some upward pressure on inflation   he  said on Wednesday  those secular forces are acting as headwinds.
âIâll be looking for evidence that we are making progress or likely to make progress over the medium term in reaching our 2-percent (inflation) target â  Kaplan  told reporters after the event.
Asked by a reporter what he thinks of former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh   Kaplan  said  he  believes disagreement at the Fed is healthy.
âI think very highly of Kevin â  Kaplan  said. â He  and I may disagree on some things. I think thatâs a good thing....I am confident that a good decision will be made and the Fed will operate very effectively in the future  including if itâs Janet Yellen  who I think has done an outstanding job.â

Positive
