Episode 252:  On December 1, 2017 ABC news released a story that former General Michael Flynn would testify that President Donald Trump had directed him to make contact with the Russians during the election.  The markets experienced a flash crash, the Russell2000 dropped more than 2.5% in less than 30 minutes.  Some individual stocks and ETFs were much more volatile.  Overall, the markets quickly recovered and closed out the day relatively flat. What can you learn from this event? Only those with access to immediate order execution could profit from this event. Those using Stop Loss Orders most likely sold at the worst time.

Episode 246:  After decades of being an oil consumer, the US has become an oil exporter.  The US is now the 11th top supplier to China, just behind the United Arab Emirates. US oil production and exports have been a game changer, upsetting the PETRODOLLAR trade that has been dominated by OPEC for the past 40 years.  This is one of the primary reasons for the strength of the US Dollar in the wake of unprecedented Federal Reserve money printing (QE) and global deflation.  [Discussed in my book: The Robots are Coming ] To understand the global economic impact of US oil production & the PETRODOLLAR see the previous episode for April 18 2016:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/181 ————————————————————– The Robots are Coming: A Human’s Survival Guide to Profiting in the Age of Automation  available at AMAZON and all fine bookstores. ————————————————————– 10 Wealth Building Principles:  http://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  http://www.wealthsteading.com ————————————————————- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 Hosted by John Pugliano.

Episode 245:  Are you concerned about how all the political drama will impact the stock market?  Don’t be.  Just like the nuclear war panic from exactly 10 days ago (that everyone has conveniently forgotten), this too shall pass. I will view any dip in the stock market as a buying opportunity. Ignore the static and noise…nothing has changed.  Three main factors underlie the success or failure of this stock market- China, Interest Rates and Commodities…just like it’s been for the past three years. ————————————————————– The Robots are Coming: A Human’s Survival Guide to Profiting in the Age of Automation  available at AMAZON and all fine bookstores. ————————————————————– 10 Wealth Building Principles:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  https://www.wealthsteading.com ————————————————————- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 Hosted by John Pugliano.

Episode 244:  The media is in a frenzy over threats from President Trump to nuke North Korea.  Are we headed into a thermonuclear Armageddon? I doubt it. The South Korean stock index KOSPI is down less than 4% from a recent high.  Hardly what I’d call panic in the streets. ————————————————————– The Robots are Coming: A Human’s Survival Guide to Profiting in the Age of Automation  available at AMAZON and all fine bookstores. ————————————————————– 10 Wealth Building Principles:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  https://www.wealthsteading.com ————————————————————- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 Hosted by John Pugliano.

Episode 232:  My mantra on building wealth is EARN+SAVE+INVEST, in that order.  The next most important skill is learning to ignore the news.  (See Wealth Building Principle #8: Decrypt Propaganda  ) Whenever the talking heads are sounding off, pretend it’s an alarm clock, hit the snooze button and rollover.  In most cases, they’re not informing you, they’re pitching an agenda. An old Wall Street adage is, “Buy the rumor, sell the news.”  That’s what we’ll discuss in today’s episode. ————————————————————– The Robots are Coming: A Human’s Survival Guide to Profiting in the Age of Automation  available at AMAZON and all fine bookstores. ————————————————————– 10 Wealth Building Principles:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  https://www.wealthsteading.com ————————————————————- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 Hosted by John Pugliano.

Episode 221:  Are brick and mortar retail stores dying or is this a good opportunity to buy the dip?  I see an emerging trend for Beauty and Fashion that is emanating from the Trump women- Melania & Ivanka. Proceed cautiously into Retail stocks, I still favor and hold a position in Walmart.  As to new trends , the pantsuit is dead, look for opportunities to invest in beauty, style and high fashion. ————————————————————– 10 Wealth Building Principles:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  https://www.wealthsteading.com ————————————————————- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 Hosted by John Pugliano.

Episode 96:  Yesterday’s Fed press conference was no surprise.  The expected 4 part drama was yet again acted out for a mindless media.  (See http://www.investablewealth.com/good-news-is-bad-news-sp500-drops-below-50-dma/ ) Ignore the press coverage and focus on the fact that the Fed has yet again reduced their GDP growth forecast.  Their call for 2017 is a growth rate of ONLY 2.2%.  Such minuscule growth is almost inconceivable after nearly a decade of injecting $13 trillion (national debt & Fed balance sheet expansion) into the economy. In this episode we analyze a statement made by Nobel Laureate Robert Shiller to illustrate how the Elite’s solutions always become your problems. Ask yourself how long the stock market can remain at record highs with unsustainable money laundering producing a long term growth rate of only 2.2%.

Episode 14:  Market still in Correction, indexes remain below their 50 day moving average.  Be patient, don’t buy dips yet. How to Determine a Market Bottom?  Use the Bill O’Neil Investor’s Business Daily (www.investors.com) method.  Wait till at least the 4th day of recovery off a market bottom.  Follow through days that confirm a market’s change in direction generally occur on the 4-7 days following a bottom. European bond yields irrational.  France @ 1.46%.  Italy @ 2.8%.  German’s stock market down 11% last week. Long term trend-  lower Oil prices.  Will result in a lower cost for EVERYTHING…this price deflation will help spur the economy.  All commodities will have a lower or stable price, including Gold.  North Dakota’s oil production is about 70% of Iran, without the turmoil and drama…and without the cost of an army or navy to protect it. Caterpillar will buy back 6.5% of their shares…will give illusion of earnings growth. Corporate share buy backs in 2014 are averaging about 4%, this is used as balance sheet engineering to mask stagnant growth.  During a recovery and an expanding economy, companies issue stocks (stock splits).  Buy backs are a form of contractions, NOT growth.   Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 Hosted by John Pugliano.
