How to Protect Yourself from the New "Economic Cold War"

By , Technical Trading Specialist, Money Morning • @DRBarton_Stocks -

Last Friday, a "flash crash" hit Chinese stocks trading on U.S. exchanges. China's $440 billion equivalent to Amazon, Alibaba, dropped 7% in just four minutes.

Those stocks tried to recover early in the week but are now back at the levels hit last Friday.

On the surface, it looked like a small market "blip," or hiccup. But the truth is, this was nothing less than a ferocious salvo of fire in a war, just as surely as if it'd been two destroyers at sea blasting away at each other.

It's a different kind of war, though - economic war.

And every investor needs to come to terms with it and learn the simple way to protect your stocks and trading positions against it...

What Every Investor Needs to Know About China Right Now

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report • @kfgtotalwealth -

Dow Jones Industrial Average

Some of the investment trends we talk about are downright electrifying.

Others, like Keith's "war, terrorism, and ugliness" trend, is nowhere as pleasant, but it's important to grapple with the issues head-on as globally oriented investors.

So far, U.S. financial markets have largely shaken off the mass unrest in Hong Kong, but that could instantly change.

Keith wants to make sure you're ready if it does...

We Could Be Looking at War in the South China Sea

what is the south china sea dispute

Many people would do anything to have a crystal ball into the future.

You could see if you're going to get that dream job...

You could find out what your children will become when they grow up...

You could know where you'll be when you retire.

The possibilities are endless if you could see the future.

Many of my colleagues, if asked the question of what they would do if they could see the future, would say that they would like to look at the financial markets and pick the best trades to make them rich.

I'd say that's a popular choice.

But for me, if I had such a power, I would be looking at more than just the financial markets.

There are many factors involved in what makes a particular company a good trade, and much of it depends on geopolitics.

So, if I had a crystal ball, I would be looking at the geopolitical situation only a few months into the future.

On the other hand, with today's geopolitical tensions, I don't think I really need a crystal ball to tell me what's going to happen.

In fact, all I really need is a history textbook...

There Are 6.6 Trillion Reasons Why Trump Must Take China to the Mat on This One Issue

By , Chief Investment Strategist, Money Map Report • @kfgtotalwealth -

Most Americans have never thought twice about intellectual property, but Keith's here to tell you that it's absolutely critical to your prosperity that you understand what's happening right now.

To put it simply, our nation depends heavily on IP - and so does your money.

But a recent poll revealed that China has stolen intellectual property from 1 in 5 American companies.

Here's why Trump needs to be absolutely tough on China when it comes to this issue...

These 3 Chinese Stocks Are Presenting the Ultimate Contrarian Profit Play

By , Guest Writer, Money Morning -

President Trump tweets, and all hell breaks loose in the markets.

Over the weekend, with hopes of a final deal with China on trade due by Friday, President Trump stirred the pot.

Chinese stocks have been hit especially hard. Since Friday's close, the SPDR S&P China ETF is off nearly 6%.

But while some are panicking, this has actually created one of the best buying opportunities we've seen in months...

Here's How to Get Ready for Every China Trade Deal Outcome

By , Quantitative Specialist, Money Morning -

There's a lot to like about this market...

It's technically strong, and leadership among the sectors hasn't changed. This is good.

The Nasdaq Composite and Russell 2000 indexes are out above their 200-day moving averages as of Friday; all four of the major indexes are back above this key trend line. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) has settled below the critical 15-point level and was last seen headed south. I'm lovin' it.

And of course, more than 80% of the S&P 500 has reported earnings. Seventy percent of 'em beat earnings expectations, and 60% trounced revenue expectations. Phenomenal.

Finally, a raft of weak-ish economic data had traders taking some profit off the table last week, which, in conjunction with a sagging VIX, suggests we're done with the selling for the time being.

The trend is your friend, I always like to say, and the trend is "up."

But we still have to make it past the China trade deal - or lack thereof.

This isn't necessarily all that scary. In fact, the way I see it, three things could happen, two of which could be really profitable, if you're prepared...

The U.S.-China Trade Dispute Calmed This Morning, but Uncle Sam Doesn't Want You to Know Why

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

U.S. China Trade

The U.S.-China trade dispute is "on hold," announced U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin yesterday (May 20).

This morning, markets surged in response to this news - though no one knew exactly why the ongoing tariff war was postponed indefinitely.

But we know what brought about this outcome; in fact, U.S. President Donald Trump practically verified our suspicions earlier today.

Have a look...

China's New "Benevolence" on Trade Is a Total Ruse

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

Xi Jinping

Last week, in response to the Trump administration's steel and aluminum tariffs, China slapped the states with billions in levies of its own.

That is, until yesterday, at least, when President Xi addressed the nation and gave a suddenly benevolent outlook on global trade.

This "change of heart" is a total ruse on the Chinese president's part. Here's what he doesn't want the worldwide public to notice...
