The Great Conundrum

DESCRIPTION:

Today's FEATURE focuses on an economic paradox that sends investors a very mixed message. The Baltic Dry Index which measures the movement of raw materials by sea indicates that materials from Asia to Northern Europe have fallen 60% in the past 3 weeks. Container shipments, major railroads and trucking in the US have also seen a dramatic reduction which usually signals a recession will follow. In contrast Facebook just announced a 78% surge in digital advertising and the Bureau of Labor just announced an increase of 271,000 jobs which is almost 100,000 more over the last 3 month average. Other topics include: The Bitcoin frenzy, Gold, the debt auction investigation, Germany on the Brink and the Phoenix VA stonewall.

Why Most Won't Be Able To Achieve These Goals

DESCRIPTION:

Today's FEATURE continues the major theme that the US and the global economy is slowing. The Dept of Commerce estimates that US GDP growth for Q3 was 1.5% vs 3.9% for Q2. Despite this downward trend it appears that the S&P 500 is poised to reach a new high this year or early 2016. Our safety is threatened by a new movement of DISINCARCERATE of violent felons and the DEMONIZATION of law enforcement. Other topics include: The Budget deal, a new top in commercial real estate, auto loans, gold, IRS impeachment, "The Post-American World" and the possible 50% cut in Teamster's Union pensions.
