The U.S. stock markets closed higher today for the second consecutive day - the first time for the month of October. A lot of traders are probably happy that the month of October is over.  Despite the back to...

Rate and Review This Podcast on iTunes Dow Swings More Than 900 Points Well we didn't have a Black Monday today, but we did have a pretty big selloff, especially if you measure the decline from the early morning pop to the late afternoon drop.  I think it was better than a 900 point selloff.  Earlier this morning the Dow Jones was up about 350 points, and I think halfway through the final hour, we...

RATE AND REVIEW this podcast on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/PeterSchiff/reviews/ Look Carefully at the Price Index The GDP number came out yesterday; 3/5% did slightly beat the consensus of 3.3%, but remember, for a while the Atlanta Fed was looking for a print in the 4's.  But the New York Fed was at 2.2%, so the print was much higher than what the  New York Fed was looking for.  But if yo...

RATE AND REVIEW this podcast on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/PeterSchiff/reviews/ Bearish Signal So much for yesterday's dead cat bounce.  All of the U.S. stock market averages came plunging down today, in fact they all closed below yesterday's lows. So even though we had those big rallies off the lows, today, we lost the entire gain and closed lower than yesterday's low point.  That is is t...

The government now loans them the money and now they are in debt to the government for the rest of their lives. But now the government can say, "V...

Rate and Review This Podcast on iTunes Overwhelming Evidence of a Weakening Economy The Dow Jones was the only one of the major indexes to close the day higher.  The S&P was down slightly, we had larger declines in the Nasdaq and the Russell 2000.  More importantly than the movements that we've just seen on the day, or even the week, look at what's happened thus far during the month of October...

I wonder if the October complacency is beginning to be shaken with the down move that we see.  Now, the Dow Jones is not down very much; in fact, it barely fell on the week; but the S&P was d...

I want to talk about Donald Trump's new trade deal. When Donald Trump was running for President, he said that NAFTA (North America Free Trade Agreement) was the worst trade deal ever negotiated ever by anyone in world history. It wasn't just the worst...

JOIN PETER at the New Orleans Investment Conference https://neworleansconference.com/conference-schedule/ Ominous October Today was the end of the month of September; it's also the end of the third quarter we are now beginning the final quarter of the year.  When we come back to trading next week, we will be in the month of October, and as I mentioned on my last podcast, we have had some substanti...

Eighth Interest Rate Hike As expected, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the eighth time, today. The rate is now 2 to 2.25 percent, so I guess the midpoint is 2.125%.  The move was highly anticipated, of course, even I expected the Fed to raise rates.  At this point I had been expecting that for some time ever since the Fed first began raising interest rates it became apparent that the...

If the Democrats get control of Congress, which is a likely occurrence, what I'm hearing now is that this is bullish for the stock market!

I also blame t...

CHECK OUT Buying Bitcoin is Like Buying Air https://youtu.be/XmMQAuO62gI Another Round of Tax Cuts Now the Republicans are talking about another round of tax cuts. Just in time for the November election. Whether or not these tax cuts actually get passed is anyone's guess, but it will be an issue on the campaign trail, either because they delivered the tax cut or because the only thing standing in...

CHECK OUT Buying Bitcoin is Like Buying Air https://youtu.be/XmMQAuO62gI GM Hit New Low for the Year If you want to look at some of the signals you're getting from the markets, look at the automobile stocks: General Motors and Ford, which are basically the only 2 automobile companies we have left. (Chrysler is now owned by Fiat.) They both hit 52-week lows today and they're both in bear markets. G...

Another Bear Market Before the Election The odds are that we are going to have another bear market and we're going to have another recession and the odds are that both are going to start before the next election. What are the odds that Trump can be re-elected if we are in a recession and in a bear market? The only thing that Trump's got going for himself is to talk about how great the economy is,...

Labor Day is coming up on Monday it it annoys me that we just have a Labor Day and we don't have an Entrepreneur Day.  We don't have a day to celebrate the employer. Why is that?
