Hello everyone,
Happy Holidays!
This will be my last post until we hit the New Year. I’m taking a week and a half off.
So, this post will summarize John’s webinar he did last week.
Webinar Title: Year-End Exhaustion
February 17, 2023, Honolulu Luncheon
July 13, 2023, Seminar at Sea aboard the Queen Mary
Look for S&P 500 at 4,800 by end of 2023.
VIX dives to $22 - NO TRADE.
US unemployment to peak at 5.5 in Q3 of 2023. Chicago Business School.
Emerging markets a buy.
NASDAQ – look to sell.
TLT – could reach $120 in 2023.
Junk Bond ETF’s JNK & HYG were up two points.
US Budget deficit drops by half, after the sharpest declines in government spending in history.
BUY TLT, JNK & HYG on dips (for the medium term)
No long-term growth in Energy.
Home mortgage demand plunges.
New applications are down 86% YOY.
Have you ever been the victim of “porch pirates”?
The annual amount lost to package theft (left on your doorstep by Amazon, for example) is an estimated $19.5 billion.
As we approach Christmas, thieves are on the lookout to grab parcels right off your doorstep. Over the last year, an estimated 260 million delivered packages were stolen, according to a report from SafeWise.
Security cameras can be a good deterrent, but they may not be enough.
Sign up to receive a text message when your parcel is going to be delivered and when it has been delivered.
If you can’t be at home, arrange to pick it up from UPS or FedEx or arrange for a neighbor to collect it.
Wishing you all the very best Christmas and all good things for 2023.
We will catch up in the New Year.
Take care.
Cheers,
Jacque.
