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

1)The Bull Market is Ten Years Old Today, and if you read this letter, you caught every dollar of the move up since then, plus some. But how much longer will it last? The technicals say it’s already in its death throes. Sell short (SPY). Click here.

2) China Trade Negotiations Continue, as they have for a year, but now the Chinese have thrown up a road block. They want everything in writing. In the wake of the North Korean disaster, can you blame them? This will weigh heavily on stocks until it's done. Click here.

3) The Wall Battle is Back, with the administration proposing $8.6 billion in funding out Thursday. This will NOT make stocks rise. Another shutdown coming? Click here.

4) The Head and Shoulders Top for Stocks is in. If you had any doubts, look at the chart below. Sell every rally for the next two years.

5)China Grounds the New Boeing 737 Max, after two crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia. The stock crashes 10%, shaving 300 points off the Dow Average. It’s probably a local maintenance or pilot training issue. Buy (BA) on the dip. Click here.

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

1) The Jobs Report is a Disaster, with the February Nonfarm Payroll Report at a minuscule 20,000 and against an average of 210,000. The headline unemployment rate drops to 3.8%. The jobs market has clearly peaked, so the recession is coming. Put on your hard hat and batten down the hatches. Click here.

2) Stocks Get Hammered, on news of the jobs report. Transports are now down 11 days in a row. All major indexes were down every day this week for the first time since 2016. The dreaded head and shoulders top for the entire ten-year bull market is forming. Click here.

3) You Lost $3.7 Trillion in Q4, or so says the Fed about the decline of national personal net worth during the stock market crash, the sharpest decline in a decade. You’re now only worth $104.3 trillion. Get a job. Click here.

4) Equity Fund Flows the Worst since 2008, with $60 billion in redemptions so far in 2019. Not that I’m trying to get you to choke on your coffee and doughnut this morning, but cash is fleeing the stock market at a record pace. Maybe you should too. Click here.

5) The Rich People Shortage Worsens, at least if you are trying to sell a high-end home. Over 500 homes are for sale in Manhattan for over $10 million each. What? You don’t have a helicopter landing pad on your roof? Horrors! That is so down market. Get another job. Click here.

1) US Growth is Fading, says the Fed Beige Book, slowing to a “slight to moderate rate”. The government shutdown is the cause. With Europe already in recession, I’ll be using rallies to increase my shorts. Sell (SPY) and (IWM). Click here.

2) No More Stress Test for Banks, as a pro-business Fed relaxes rules. This paves the way for the next financial crisis. Avoid banks like a bad tip from your bookie. Click here.

3) Healthcare Gets Hammered, as the sector is about to become a political football in the upcoming 2020 election. Avoid for now. Click here.

4) ECB Cuts Europe Growth Forecast Sharply, from 1.7% to 1.1%. Stimulus to renew on all front including more quantitative easing. It’s just a matter of time before their recession pulls the US down. Sell the Euro (FXE). Click here.

5) Initial Jobless Claim Falls by 3,000 to 223,000. If there is any trouble with the economy, it is certainly not on the jobs front. Click here.

1) Interest Rates Going to Zero in 2020, as the US goes into recession, or so says Texas hedge fund giant Kyle Bass. Unfortunately, his record is not great. He has been predicting Japan and the yen would collapse for years and it didn’t. Oops! Click here.

2) US Trade Deficit Hits Ten Year High, at $59.8 billion for December, and a staggering $419 billion for the year. It’s funny how foreigners stop buying your goods when you declare war on them. Even Teslas are being stopped at the border in China. Who knew? Click here.

3) FDA Commissioner Suddenly Resigns. Scott Gottleib quit with no notice. He was tough on tobacco and vaping for kids and it seems they complained to the boss. Someone easier on the industry will replace him. Buy the beneficiaries, big pharma and tobacco stocks. Click here.

4) FDA Approves New Antidepression Drug, for the first time in a decade. Expect to hear a lot more about “Spravato” made by Johnson & Johnson. Where do they come up with these bizarre names anyway? Click here.

5) New Trade Tariffs Hit US Consumers the Hardest, adding $69 billion to their annual bill. Falling real earnings and rising costs is hardly a sustainable model. Will someone please tell the president? Click here.

1) China Cuts Growth Forecast, from 6.5% to 6.0% GDP growth for 2019. The trade war with the US and the stimulus haven’t kicked in yet. The last time they did this, the market fell 1,000 points. Buy (FXI) on the dip. Click here.

2) ISM Non-Manufacturing Index Pops in February from 57.2 estimated to 59.7. Another rare positive data point for the economy. Services are still alive while manufacturing is dying. Buy tech, sell industrials. Click here.

1) China Shares Soar. Massive stimulus and a coming end to the trade war could make China the top performing major market this year. Click here.

2) Dollar Soars and Gold Gets Hammered. You can blame the slightly stronger GDP print on Thursday which came in at 2.2% instead of 1.8%. As long as Jay doesn’t raise interest rates, this is just a brief short-covering rally for the buck. Click here.

3) US Construction Spending Falls Off a Cliff, down 0.6% in December. Nobody wants to invest ahead of a recession. Click here.

5) Chinese Telecom Giant Huawei to Sue US Government. It used to be them sending a division of screaming soldiers at us with machine guns. Now they sue. How times have changed. I definitely prefer the former than the latter. Click here.

1) Bonds Get Crushed, down 1.38 points yesterday as the great “crowding out” begins. Massive corporate borrowing can’t compete with government borrowing, so rates are rising sharply. This is the beginning of the end. Sell short the (TLT). Click here.

2) 30 Feet of Snow in One Month, at Lake Tahoe is a new all-time record for a single month. It looks like my roof is going to get crushed for the second year in three. My insurance company hates me. I don’t know about you, but climate change is kicking my butt. Click here.
