Episode 187: The Presidential election is causing some to say, “make America great again”.  Being a cynic, I have to ask, “Was America ever great?” Specifically I discuss the turmoil of the 1970s…things have always been screwed up.  Study history and you’ll learn that the world is a troubled place but some people manage to succeed. Do you want to be a whiner or a success?  The choice is yours. ————————————————————– 10 Wealth Building Principles:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  https://www.wealthsteading.com ————————————————————- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 via STITCHER:   http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=53115&refid=stpr Hosted by John Pugliano.

Episode 184:  In 2015 the market was supported by a handful of stocks, namely FAANG- FaceBook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix & Google.  Now only Facebook and Amazon remain above their 50dma. Just like last year, the indexes appear stable although many leading names are well off their 52 week highs.  Sector rotation is switching from “safe stocks” like Utilities & Consumer Staple to a weekly favored sector and then back to “safe”. Energy & Materials stocks had a nice run but now Materials are breaking down.  Will Energy start to drop as the “dash for trash” recovery fades? ————————————————————– 10 Wealth Building Principles:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  https://www.wealthsteading.com ————————————————————- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 via STITCHER:   http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=53115&refid=stpr Hosted by John Pugliano.

Episode 183:  In this episode I begin with the intention of discussing current market conditions and key points about sector rotation…BUT then rapidly digress into a rant about things NOT TO WORRY ABOUT. We’re in an “Alice In Wonderland” Central Bank concocted market…like it or not, that’s just the way it is.  But that’s the reality of the situation and things aren’t going to fall apart because they’ll do whatever it takes to keep this jury rigged economic system propped up. Sorry for going off script but based on feedback, this is a topic that needed discussed. ————————————————————– 10 Wealth Building Principles:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  https://www.wealthsteading.com ————————————————————- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 via STITCHER:   http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=53115&refid=stpr Hosted by John Pugliano.

Episode 182:  In this episode I discuss the risk of a Buy & Hold strategy and why I prefer swing trading as an active market timing approach.  HOWEVER, for those that don’t want to actively trade, Buy & Hold is viable and profitable OVER THE LONG TERM.  [That timeframe might be longer than you think…listen for details and a different perspective than what you commonly hear.] ————————————————————– 10 Wealth Building Principles:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  https://www.wealthsteading.com ————————————————————- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 via STITCHER:   http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=53115&refid=stpr Hosted by John Pugliano.

Episode 181:  The amount of US Dollars in global circulation has been in decline primarily because of a reduction in Petrodollars (value that’s earned by oil producing countries).  The lack of US Dollars in circulation is a principle reason why global trade is so sluggish.

Episode 178:  Friday the S&P500 rose above its 200dma for the first time this year; however, I remain cautious and expect the market to move lower.  I believe the past month of optimism was founded on rising oil prices, but it’s unlikely that oil has bottomed because global growth remains stagnant.  The problems with growth won’t be resolved by negative interest rates in Japan and Europe; on the contrary, negative rates reveal how deep the problem is. Anemic growth in developed democracies can best be summed up using Europe’s death spiral formula:  7/25/50.  Europe has 7% of global population (in decline); 25% of wealth (in decline); and 50% of welfare spending. ————————————————————– 10 Wealth Building Principles:  https://www.wealthsteading.com/category/wealth-building-principle/ Full archives are available at:  https://www.wealthsteading.com ————————————————————- Subscribe to the Wealthsteading Podcast: via iTunes:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wealthsteading-podcast/id896417058 via STITCHER:   http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=53115&refid=stpr Hosted by John Pugliano.
