The Five Most Important Things That Happened Today
(and what to do about them)
1) Some 90% of Global Asset Classes Are Now in Bear Markets. This could be the year that NO ONE made money. Good thing I’m Up 30%! Click here.
2) The Fed Is Pulling $50 Billion a Month Out of the Financial System. And you wondered why stocks were going down? Click here
3) Federal Budget Deficit Hits All-Time High in November. Look for the deficit to hit $1.3 trillion next year when entitlements are added in. Ramping up borrowing at the top of the economic cycle is financial suicide. At least the stock market thinks so. Click here.
4) The Auto Industry Expects Sales to Drop to a 5-year Low in 2019, according to the National Association of Automobile Dealers. No wonder investors have been avoiding the shares like the plague! Click here.
5) Only 53% of CEOs are Increasing Capital Spending in 2019, says a survey from the Chief Executive Group. Maybe that’s what the market has been trying to tell us by doing a Dotcom Bust 2.0. Click here.

The Five Most Important Things That Happened Today
(and what to do about them)
1) A Government Shutdown on Friday is Dominating Sentiment. A squabble over $5 billion in spending over a wall may wipe $300 billion off the value of equities. It’s not the risk/reward ratio I am used to. Click here.
2) The Fed is Raising Interest Rates on Wednesday, by 25 basis points to a 2.25%-2.50% overnight range. The big question is: “How many rises next year?” The market has just shifted from three to two. Watch for dovish commentary like a hawk. Click here.
3) Malaysian Government is Seeking Criminal Charges Against Goldman Sachs.
The stock market was rallying 100 points overnight until this little tidbit brought us a down 300-point opening. Watch for (GS) to write a big check to make this go away. I told you to avoid the stock like the plague. Click here.
4) Surprise Obamacare Ruling Demolishing Health Care Stocks. It looks like a Texas judge has just wiped out the industry’s largest customer. Use the meltdown to cherry-pick the best stocks. It’s one of the few industries with a long-term future. Click here.
5) Wild Swings in Stock Market at Seven-Year High. What if the roller coaster continues for all of 2019? What if it continues until the 2020 presidential election? Suddenly, the triggers are all there. It’s hard hat in the bomb shelter time. Click here.

When John identifies a strategic exit point, he will send you an alert with specific trade information as to what security to sell, when to sell it, and at what price. Most often, it will be to TAKE PROFITS, but, on rare occasions, it will be to exercise a STOP LOSS at a predetermined price to adhere to strict risk management discipline. Read more

The Five Most Important Things That Happened Today
(and what to do about them)
1) Economic Optimism Plunges from 48% to 39%, according to a CNBC poll, the sharpest drop in the 12-year history of the survey. Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln? Click here.
2) Mad Hedge Nails it With a Big Bond Short. Taking profits here to get out of the way of the Fed meeting next week. I’ll reestablish on the next three-point rally. Kaching! Click here.
3) Softbank Looking to Sell its NVIDIA Holdings, one of the graphics card maker's largest shareholders down, 50% from the peak. Why do I feel I have just been kicked in the cajones? The stock is in screaming “BUY” territory right here for long-term players. (NVDA). Click here.
4) “World Cup” was the Top Google Search Term of 2018, followed by “Hurricane Florence.” Someday Americans will understand this. How you can stay riveted for 90 minutes for a 1-0 score is beyond me. Isn’t it really all about the acting? Click here.
5) India was the Top Destination of Remitted US Earnings, at $80 billion last year, followed by China at $67 billion and the Philippines at $34 billion. That’s a lot of grandmas to support. Click here.
