Many people were bearish and were caught with their pants down. Not I and not you if you studied our premium notes from the Sunday Read!
Let’s dive in, but first, I know a few people have bad advisors. Whether you have one you are considering or need one, check out our sponsor!
How Well Does Your Financial Advisor Perform?
How would one even know? Most financial advisors don’t give you a report card at the end of the year, talking about the ways they helped you beat — or, gasp, underperform — the market.
With Rainbook — a no-cost platform — you can have crystal clear x-ray vision into how well your advisor is performing across a host of critical metrics:
Fees — how much are they charging you on a relative basis (including those fund fees)?
Performance — how are you doing relative to benchmarks?
Critical questions impacting the long term health of your portfolio, Rainbook delivers you the answers.
If your Advisor Score isn’t up to par, Rainbook can pair you with a new vetted advisor to ensure your financial health is in good hands.
Context
The president said he ultimately wants "fair competition with China, not conflict.
If China and the U.S can continue to work with and not against each other, I think the growth in the Chinese market may come within the next few years.

Announcement -Though their earnings report this quarter were not as expected, I thin this is best for a swing trade/investment setup. Though the stock price dropped today this does not reflect the qualtity of the company.
As the stock dropped, they have been stacking cash. They are now offering a 1$ dividend per share.
Employment Rate Questions For The Fed!?
I have seen so many unemployed people. After digging around the web, I learned that 15%- 20% of the jobs reported are government jobs.
I also realized that the data doesn’t count per person. This means… a person could have 2 or 3 jobs and still be counted in the report, while another 3 people have no jobs.
My point is, “Are these numbers a true reflection of if we are in a recession or not? For example, if $275,000 jobs were reported, if you take off 52,000 (18%) government jobs and then did not count duplicates, if a person has two jobs, then our numbers would look a lot worse.
The government does a good job of hiding certain information.

Tips of the week
Sometimes less is best. 10/15 great trades a month is better than 50-90.
If you don’t see your setup, STOP OVERTRADING
