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

1) The Last FANG Reports, with Alphabet (GOOGL) surprising to the upside. Ad sales and earnings beat, but the stock sells off anyway. Will this be that last earnings surprise to drive the market? Click here.

2) Talking of Banning Share Buybacks is Rising. Blamed as a major cause of income inequality, far left Dems want to ban this highly lucrative practice. The stock market and the stock-owning half of the country hate the prospect, so it will never happen. Click here.

3) The Bond King Retires, with Bill Gross leaving Janus Henderson at the age of 75. Bill and I both worked our way through college card counting at blackjack in Las Vegas before the casinos knew what it was. Bill was never able to match his legendary PIMCO performance at Janus citing difficulties in the bond market. As a fellow bond trader, I totally sympathize. Click here.

4) Tech Stocks May Be About to Fade, with grim guidance dominating earnings reports. Where will we fail at this run at the old highs? Click here.

5) Robots are Taking Over the Super Bowl, without mechanical friends dominating the ad space. I particularly liked the Budweiser ad with the Game of Thrones play. Next to come are the players who delivered the most boring game in history with a 13-3 score. Click here.
