SYNOPSIS

It appears that the masochistic Americans are willing to accept any amount of punishment to their country’s economy. And despite a truck-load of evidence that could be used for impeachment, the Democrats are too cowardly to act. That’s their choice, but those of us investors outside the US are suffering massive spill-over effects. Trump handed out $12 billion in subsidies to compensate for US farmers’ losses last year (nowhere near enough) and has pledged $16 billion so far this year (still not enough). What’s ironic is that those subsidies are coming out of the pockets of working class Americans (including all those farmers) by way of additional taxes (or national debt). The Top 1% certainly won’t be contributing anything. Subsidies go in one pocket and out the other.

Last week… There’s no question that last week was a down week. Failing trading negotiations with China was the standard excuse, but that doesn’t entirely or even partially explain declining equities prices in countries not involved in US/China talks. About 75% of the stock indexes of countries/regions of the world now have negative trend values.

We sold two positions this past week. The overall markets were falling too fast for us to even think about replacements.

PTA Perspective… The Trump Toll on the American People & The World Economy
Media headlines about the impact of something like trade wars on daily stock prices are typically unsubstantiated fabrications… manufactured for dramatic effect. They’re paid to create fiction to generate advertising revenue. That’s why we always look for real data from the most credible sources we can find, because otherwise we’d have to do the research ourselves! This time we bring out some hard evidence on the impact of Trump’s trade policies on stock prices so far this month. We also discuss a number of alternatives for where you might put your money as Trump drives stock prices lower.

Cannabis Corner… Cannabis stocks have been on the decline with the general markets. Only 3 out of 14 stocks in our “Billionaire Club” (based on market cap) have positive trends at this time. More details in this week’s coverage of that thematic sector.
