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

2) Bearishness is at a Record High, with the AAII survey of investment managers showing 20.9% bulls versus 48.9% bears. Such radical numbers usually indicate that a turning point is near. Click here.
3) Trump Says He’ll Spring the Huawei CFO to Get a China Trade Deal. Hey, anything for the deal! Never mind that she was selling telecom equipment to the ayatollahs. If it makes my stocks go up, I’m fine with that. I’m not welcome in Tehran anyway. Click here.
4) It was 38 Years Ago Today That Apple Went Public and has generated a 43,000% return since its $22 IPO price. I waited until the next crash and then bought it at $4 where it sits in one of my “no touch” retirement portfolios today.
