I just stumbled across your writing and I love it!
I have been reading it all weekend. The more I read, the more I have this weird sensation in my frontal cortex. I believe it used to be called "thinking" before the new world order arrived. Almost stimulating....like the stuff before decaf...
What a fresh perspective you provide! You challenge my preconceived notions from CNN, and that is scary.
Please keep up the good work.
Yours Truly,
Ron
“Every geopolitical crisis in the world is squarely pointed at the heart of Europe right now, be it terrorism, the collapse of Europe, or the currency crisis, and that means it’s focused on Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany,” said my friend Ian Bremmer, of the political consulting firm, Eurasia Group.

The Five Most Important Things That Happened Today
(and what to do about them)
1) General Electric Cuts its Dividend, from 12 cents a share to one cent after reporting a breathtaking $22.8 billion loss. The Feds have opened a criminal investigation into accounting practices. This may define the final bottom in the stock. Take another look at those long-term LEAPS. Click here.
2) UK to Implement Digital Tax, which will raise $500 million in revenues, which is sofa change. It's big tech’s worst fears realized. It’s why Amazon lost $100 billion in market capitalization yesterday. Click here.
3) Oil Hits a Three-Month Low, slaughtering hedge funds everywhere. This makes no sense against a 3.5% GDP growth rate and looming Iran crisis. Is Texas tea now predicting a recession in 2019? Click here.
4) Who Was That Idiot Who Told You to Sell Volatility Too Soon? Oops, it’s me. But now may be another time to take a bite of the apple. Click here.
5) Personal Consumption Expenditures Up Only 0.1% in September. Inflation is nowhere to be seen, meaning the December Fed rate hike is a sure thing. Just what you wanted to hear. Click here.

The Five Most Important Things That Happened Today
(and what to do about them)
1) IBM Takes Over Red Hat (RHT) for $33 Billion, the third largest merger in history. It’s a little too late for Big Blue as the stock falls on the news. Click here.
2) Apple Earnings Are Out on Thursday, the big number of the month. Expectations are high. They’ll probably announce a new Mac and iPad. Click here.
3) Stocks Hit a Two-Year Valuation Low, as retail investors dump stocks on a massive scale. Multiples for next year’s earnings have plunged from 18.32 to 15.55. Sounds like a deal to me! Click here.
4) Tesla Stock Soars Again, in the wake of the first profit in two years, as Elon Musk says his $20 million fine is “worth it”. Coming back from Lake Tahoe this weekend I saw over a dozen trucks delivering brand new Tesla 3’s east. Click here.
5) Germany’s Angela Merkel Steps Down as Party Head, but remains as chancellor, sending the Euro (FXE) crashing and the US dollar (UUP) soaring. As if we needed more instability. Click here.

The Five Most Important Things That Happened Today
(and what to do about them)
1) Mad Hedge Market Timing Index Hits a Ten-Year Low at 6, indicating that markets are an “EXTREME BUY”. Artificial Intelligence is never wrong. Go for quality tech. You pay your money and you take your chances. See my Global Trading Dispatch for where to load the boat now. Click here.
2) September Durable Goods Up a Hot 0.8%, versus -1.4% expected. When will the stock market start looking at the numbers again? My guess is now. Gotta love those Saudi weapons purchases. It was all defense-led. Click here.
3) Weekly Jobless Claims at 215,000 are Blistering as Always. My local morning breakfast dive could really use a new waitress. Maybe they should offer more than $10 an hour. Click here.
4) Tesla Announces Surprise Profit, except that it was not a surprise here. Stock has rocketed back to Musk pre-meltdown levels in the $320’s. Consumers are paying up to buy fully loaded electric vehicles to beat the expiration of federal subsidies at the end of the year. Click here.
5) American Airlines Gets Slaughtered, with soaring fuel prices eating up most of their profit. Two hurricanes didn’t help either. If you can’t make money now in this peak economy, when will you? No wonder the PE multiple is a bargain basement six times. Click here.
