Dear eMBers,
Your Morning Bullets are here. Let’s dig in.
INVESTOR INSIGHTS – Market Update
It was another splendid day in the financial markets.
For the first time in history, the Nasdaq broke 9,000.
The record was largely fueled by record online holiday shopping sprees.
It took Amazon soaring 4.45%.
The S&P 500 also broke a new record and closed at 3,239.91, up 0.51%.
The DJIA didn’t break any records, but it did close up 105.94 to close at 28,621.39.
And even though weekly jobless claims were up 2,000 more than expected, it wasn’t enough to make investors nervous.
Right now the S&P 500 is less than 1% away from it’s best year since 1997.

YOUR SILICON VALLEY (LIBERAL) OVERLORDS
Gizmodo wants to know – What’s it going to take?
How can a company that has massive privacy concerns, labor strikes and reports that the retailer is literally selling trash on their platform still have a record-breaking year?
According to the retail giant Amazon, they didn’t just break records this year.
They shattered them.
Prime same- or one-day shipping quadrupled.
More than half a billion products were ordered.
When you consider the laundry list of grievances against the company, it’s a little scary.
Somehow, instead of making it on Santa’s Naughty list, they switched out their lumps of coal for candy canes of gold.
And Gizmodo wants to know why.
Especially when they’ve been warning folks “to chuck their Amazon devices into the sea and avoid buying them entirely.”
Why isn’t anyone listening?

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME
Trump Derangement Syndrome knows no borders.
It appears to have blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon.
But that doesn’t make this story any less surprising. Or any less sad.
According to a new YouGov survey among Germans, they consider President Trump more dangerous to world peace than a host of truly bad dudes.

They were asked to rank the greatest threat to world peace.
Their choices?
President Trump, Kim Jong Un, Putin, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and China’s President Xi Jinping.
Here are the results.
Xi Jinping – 7%.
Putin and Khamenei – 8%.
Kim Jong Un – 17%.
President Trump – a whopping 41%.
The survey ran from December 16-18 and 2,000 Germans were polled.
It appears that Liberal Lunacy and TDS are highly contagious.
This is much more unsettling than Canadians removing Trump from Home Alone 2.
Do people even remember what REAL evil is anymore?
Yes or No?

This has never returned less than 400% over 4 years.
Something big is happening in America… and almost no one is paying attention.
A completely misunderstood asset is transforming our world–and making people rich (Barron’s estimates at least 20,000 people).
A multimillionaire has written a fascinating analysis explaining how so many are now getting rich.
His write up is posted free on this website here.
Did you know this misunderstood asset has never returned less than 400% over any four-year period?
A leading news source says this has created at least 20,000 new millionaires.

The S&P 500 has returned more than 50% since President Trump was elected.
That’s more than double the average market return of presidents three years into their term. And we can thank Bespoke Investment Group for breaking it down for us.
They’ve been tracking data dating back to 1928.
In this year alone, the S&P is up 28%.
On average, past presidents saw gains of 12.8%.
And it’s looking like Year 4 could be another real winner.
Not just because of our stellar economic data. But because that’s just how the story seems to go for past Presidents.
However, Wall Street is predicting more modest gains in 2020.
The average 2020 target among analysts is 3,330. That’s just 4% higher than Tuesday’s close.
In order to beat the average in his fourth year, he’ll need to see the S&P gain 6%.
And while Trump is beating the pants off of most past presidents, there’s one he hasn’t yet beat.
Find out who, and why…

CRAZY-INTERESTING OR RIDICULOUSLY-WEIRD
Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse, Betelgeuse!
(Actually, its pronounced BAY-tel juice…)
For some strange reason the giant red star has been dimming.
It was once the 9th brightest star in the night sky.
Today, it only ranks 23rd.

No one quite knows what’s going on.
Some suspect it could be about to blow up (think supernova.)
If it did, it would be visible from Earth – in the daytime!
Other’s just think it’s “a phase.”
