The Five Most Important Things That Happened Today
(and what to do about them)

1) Jobless Claims Hit New Lows at 210,000, down 2,000, a new all-time low. The U.S. is running out of workers, and companies are struggling to find minimum-wage staff. Inflation has to be right around the corner. Click here.

 2) China Files a Complaint Against the U.S. in the World Trade Organization. Most American’s don’t know this, but all the new U.S. tariffs are illegal under WTO rules and will be thrown out. The outcome of the trade war will be decided in Geneva. Click here.

3) Honeywell (HON) Raises Guidance. The aircraft and defense business are booming. Buy Boeing (BA) on the dip. Click here.

4) The World is Totally Confused About the Mess in Washington. My advice? Things will take much longer to play out than anyone expects. Remember, our government was set up 236 years ago when all communication was by horse and rider. Click here.

5) New Home Sales Fall to Nine-Month Low, with July sales down 1.7% to 627,000 units. Yes, it may already be too late to sell your home. Click here.

1) U.S. Weekly Jobless Claims Plunge to 213,000. A full employment economy is now what bear markets are made of, so keep buying those deep.

2) The Tech Correction is Over. If you blinked, you missed it. Amazon is about to become the next trillion-dollar company and will become the first 2 trillion-dollar company.

3) China is Blocking Car Imports from the U.S. Even those made by foreign companies. That Means Ford (F) and General Motors (GM) will continue to go down the toilet.

4) The Latest Inflation Report Came in at Zero. So, bonds will continue to remain trapped in narrow ranges and interest rate plays like REITs and MLPs will keep rallying.

5) Is Elon Musk Headed to Jail? I doubt it, but the SEC wants to know how solid the financing behind the $420 buyout offer really is.
