The Ticking Debt Bomb

You’ve seen it in the movies… The hero is faced with disabling a bomb set up in the middle of a busy parking garage before it goes off and takes everything with it.

The Bond Market Doesn’t Like What the Fed is Signaling

You and I have been talking about the bond market for at least three months. More specifically, we’ve been talking about the fact that the bond market can’t get out of its rut. Last week’s rhetoric from the Fed is putting the bond market at risk of falling deeper into a bear market trend. That […]

Cash In by Labor Day with These Four Moves

I hope you've had a great summer – as much as possible with everything that's going on.

My family and I have managed to have a lot of fun, particularly in our new Winnebago Boldt-KL. In a pandemic, it's a nice, safe way to travel long distances, like we did on our summer road trip from Florida to New York.

In fact, I love it so much I find I'm doing a lot of everyday driving in it, just running errands.

Since I'm spending so much time in the Winnebago, I thought…

"Hey – might as well do some trading in here while I'm at it."

So, I hooked it up. I'm good to go; now I have everything I need to scan markets and trade stocks in here.

With gold and stocks going through the roof, and the dollar falling through the floor, I've had my hands full; I sent five plays to my readers yesterday and let my microcurrency folks take two 75% and 90% profits off the table.

As fun and productive (and profitable) as it's been driving and hanging out in the "Winnie," it's only around three weeks to Labor Day, and after that, less than four weeks to October and our first-ever virtual Black Diamond conference. (You can learn how to register to attend here; I'll be there for sure.)

There's a lot going on! And the closer we get to the end of summer, the opportunities get faster and bigger. The time to prepare is right now; if you wait until Labor Day week, it'll be too late.

With all that said, let's dive into my summer-end market forecast that looks at all four "corners" of this market and shows you how to play 'em. Here's what you need to know… Full Story

Markets Live Recap: The Dow Falls Nearly 7% as Coronavirus Cases Spike

Stocks suffered their biggest pull back in three months as another 1.5 million Americans filed for unemployment and coronavirus cases spiked in states that reopened parts of their economies.

Traders quickly moved to sell their positions as the Dow dropped 6.9% on the trading session.

Investors bid the S&P 500 45% higher from its March lows on hopes of a fast recovery.

But a new spike in cases is certainly going to take a toll on a number of businesses.

Retail and airlines were two of the hardest hit industries on the day.

Here's what our experts – Chris Johnson and Shah Gilani – think is going to happen tomorrow and how investors should be positioning themselves before the weekend.
