The Dow Jones Industrial Average is trending up this morning thanks to optimism over a potential trade deal with China this week.
But if progress toward a trade deal isn't made, then get prepared for a volatile week.
That's especially true when you factor in another bearish catalyst this week...

When you adjust estimates for the "street" (the black market), cannabis is already a $60 billion industry in the United States.
The legal cannabis sector in this country alone was worth a "mere" $12 billion in 2018. We've carved out a nice chunk of that for ourselves: All but two of the positions in the National Institute for Cannabis Investors (NICI) flagship Cannabis Investor's Report model portfolio are up by double digits; several are closing in on 100%.
Those are good gains – this is America's most lucrative industry, after all – but all indications point to much, much bigger profits between now and the middle of the next decade.
To find out exactly where those profits will come from, NICI Executive Director Greg Miller sat down with Money Morning Special Situation Strategist Tim Melvin to talk about all the ways he's planning on cashing in over the next five to 10 years.
There are some massive calls made during this sit-down. One in particular strikes me as a way you could eventually be able to build and fund your entire retirement through cannabis plays.
Yes, I'm talking income strategies here!
But even more shocking than that, Tim pushed all his chips in and predicted – to the month – when he expects the White House to move to de-schedule marijuana and effectively end nearly 100 years of prohibition.
Over the past year, I've recommended some profitable direct military and defense plays for my Energy Advantage, Energy Inner Circle, and Micro Energy Trader subscribers.
The connection between energy and global geopolitics might not seem obvious, but it is very real. It's very profitable, too, as you'll see with the choice investment pick I'm going to share in a moment.
Each time I've recommended a defense or military play, energy markets have provided the reason, whether through security reasons impacting energy sources and transport, or energy technology breakthroughs that directly benefit the defense sector.
The South China Sea, "off-the-grid" power systems, North Korea, Iran – developments in all these places and more have delivered consistent profits.
Stocks slid as much as 10% in December, making it the worst close of the year for stocks for more than 30 years. That set the stage for a potential stock market crash in Q1 2019.
While stocks have rallied since the start of 2019, we aren't out of the woods yet.
And when you consider this market crash trigger, you'll want to make sure your money is protected...
The charts don't lie: No matter how you cut it, "big tech" – especially the FANGs – is still the No. 1 destination for intermediate- to long-term investing.

Today's economic news should bring a smile to any investor's face, but the threat of a global recession looms ever closer.
Global growth is faltering, and it could be just a matter of time before the world's economy grinds to a halt.
And a global economic slowdown could sink the American economy with it...
While JPMorgan is far from the first Wall Street firm to see a love connection between these two giants of Silicon Valley, Apple stock's increasingly perilous state makes this acquisition more likely than ever.
You see, recent reports from Cupertino suggest that the future of Apple stock is on the rocks.
In fact, just this week, the company's stock slumped over 2% on news that the company's app store revenue had declined last quarter.
Today, I'm going to show you one of the best penny stocks you can buy today. You see, this stock is a play on the solar industry, which is absolutely booming.
A lot has happened over a short period with respect to the solar power industry. For much of 2018, oil prices were soaring and reached their peak in November at close to $70. Most of this increase was due to higher interest rates from the U.S. Federal Reserve and a strong dollar.
As crude prices climbed, so did the price of solar stocks.
And right now, a similar pattern is forming that could send solar penny stocks soaring again...
The Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 are under pressure as concerns about Chinese and U.S. trade relations reemerged on Thursday.
According to reports, President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are unlikely to meet in coming weeks and strike a deal before the March 1 deadline for a deal. China’s economy is already struggling due to the ongoing trade spat, and concerns about U.S. growth continue to rattle domestic sentiment.
