Dear eMBers,
INVESTOR INSIGHTS – Market Chops Around
S&P chopped back and forth all day yesterday.
I didn’t see increased selling pressure.
But if selling pressure kicks in, it’s possible the market can test 2,850.
Traders seem to be looking for spots at which to put fresh money to work.
I expect more choppiness ahead.
Oil is up 3% overnight on news. Take a look…
2 oil tankers damaged in suspected attack in the Gulf of Oman
Oil prices also typically rise as we head into Independence Day holiday.
I’m still long the VIX (VXX calls) and I picked up some Facebook puts.
I expect Facebook will be hit with negative headlines over the next few days.
How do I know?

YOUR SILICON VALLEY (LIBERAL) OVERLORDS
Yesterday, Facebook shares tumbled.
Why?
Email evidence.
According to WSJ, CEO Mark Zuckerberg knew about the questionable privacy practices.
In April, Facebook said it anticipates paying up to $5 billion to settle the case.
TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME
Sleepy Joe called President Trump an “existential threat to America.”
He also said President Trump will do anything to frighten people…
The response?
President Trump is thrilled.
Because Sleepy Joe isn’t competition.
He only talks about President Trump.
In fact, he said his name 76 times in his latest speech.
Why?
Because he has nothing else to hang on to.
TRUMP IS WINNING
The data shows that the current US economic expansion is the longest on record.
It began in mid-2009.
And it was powered by monetary policies coupled with accelerating advances in new technologies.
And it was given another boost with deregulation and tax cuts.
U.S. unemployment rate is at 3.6%. And GDP growth rate is above 3%.
President Trump’s economy continues to soar to a new high.
And everybody agrees:
