“If you are ready to give up everything else, you have the cool nerves of a gambler, the sixth sense of a clairvoyant, and the courage of a lion, you have a ghost of a chance of making money in the stock market,” said Great Depression era financier, Bernard Baruch.

The Five Most Important Things That Happened Today
(and what to do about them)
1) Mad Hedge Kills It with Bond Short, as the US Treasury bond collapse (TLT) goes global. Yet, we caught a 10% home run in two days. The huge expansion of government borrowing this year has come home to roost. Look for 4% bonds next year. Click here.
2) Business is Booming in Australia, as Chinese trade shifts from the US to down under. I wonder why they don’t like us anymore. Click here.
3) FedEx is Paying Huge Premiums for Pilots, to keep them from retiring before the holidays. The pilot shortage is getting that extreme. Roger that! Just found my Christmas gig. Click here.
4) Bed Bath & Beyond Has Put Itself Up for Sale. Another Amazon victim bites the dust. Click here.
5) It’s National Vodka Day and National Taco Day. Great! A hangover AND indigestion. Click here.

Come join me for lunch for the Mad Hedge Fund Trader’s Global Strategy luncheon, which I will be conducting in Miami, Florida, on Tuesday, October 16, 2018.
A three-course lunch will be followed by an extended question-and-answer period.
I’ll be giving you my up-to-date view on stocks, bonds, foreign currencies, commodities, energy, precious metals, and real estate.
And to keep you in suspense, I’ll be tossing a few surprises out there, too. Enough charts, tables, graphs, and statistics will be thrown at you to keep your ears ringing for a week. Tickets are available for $248.
I’ll be arriving at 11:30 AM and leaving late in case anyone wants to have a one-on-one discussion, or just sit around and chew the fat about the financial markets.
The lunch will be held at a restaurant at a major downtown hotel.
I look forward to meeting you, and thank you for supporting my research.
“The biggest loss I ever suffered was not buying Amazon when I met Jeff Bezos in 1999,” said legendary value investor Ron Baron, when Amazon was trading at $15 a share.

The Five Most Important Things That Happened Today
(and what to do about them)
1) Will China Get the Same Free Pass as Canada? If so, stocks will rally another 10% from here. Keep buying those dips, especially in my “trade peace” stocks. Click here.
2) Intel Says it Will Reach Full Year Targets. And the rest of the chip sector seems to be bottoming on the back of the USMCA trade deal. Is it off to the races once again? Buyers are certainly looking for laggards. Click here.
3) Aston Martin IPO Bombs in London. The wrong industry at the wrong time in the wrong place, down 10% on the first day. Buy the car, not the stock. Actually, buy a Tesla (TSLA) instead. The whole world is going electric, and Aston Martin doesn’t fit anywhere in that picture. Click here.
4) Private Sector Hiring Blows Out to the Upside, with the September ADP Report surprising as if you needed more proof of a full employment economy. Smaller companies did most of the hiring, another sign of a topping economy. Click here.
5) ISM Services Index Hits a 21 Year High, jumping from 58.5 to 61.6 in September. It shows how irrelevant manufacturing really has become. And you wondered why investors are so heavily loaded with technology stocks. Buy software, short hardware! Click here.

“Stock don’t stop on a dime when they reach the right valuation. I’m afraid this time, they’re going to overshoot,” said Karen Finerman of Metropolitan Capital Advisors.

(WE’RE MAKING SOME CHANGES HERE AT MAD HEDGE FUND TRADER)
Given the ballistic growth of our business here at the Mad Hedge Fund Trader, you will soon be seeing some major improvements in the service.
You may have already noticed a substantial upgrade to our website. Further changes will be ongoing in the coming months promising better functionality and faster speeds. Some 10,000 pages of content is a lot to manage.
Mad Hedge Hot Tips started six weeks ago and have proven wildly successful. It enables us to have a more immediate and constant contact with our readers which has become crucial in this hyper accelerating fast forward world.
Our online customer support telephone number has changed. The new one is 347-480-1034. This is a high tech global online telephone number that operates 24 hours a day. If you can’t get through just leave a voicemail with the English lady with the posh accent. It will be transcribed instantly and emailed to us wherever we are.
Hey, what’s the point in publishing the Mad Hedge Technology Letter if you can’t use the new tech to spice up our own service?
Our mailing address has changed to a conveniently tax free domicile at:
John Thomas-Mad Hedge Fund Trader
Conifer Group LLC
PO Box 4470
Stateline, NV 89449
USA
If you want to mail me a bottle of The Glenlivet because you made so much money on you last Trade Alert, please feel free to do so.
Globalizing our production means there will be a slight delay in getting our daily content to you. Instead of 1:00 AM EST you should receive you letter by 9:00 AM EST, or 30 minutes before the New York Stock Exchange opens. Today is the exception.
Finally, it is with a heavy heart that I announce the retirement of Nancy at the end of the year, who has been diligently performing our customer support for the past six years. She is the one who has been instructing you on navigating the site, getting a new password, and dealing with the general ins and out of the MadHedge Fund Trader. I understand that a long cruise is in the offing.
Again, thanks for supporting our research and I look forward to meeting you at my next strategy luncheon or the Lake Tahoe conference in October.
