A Sign The Markets Are In A Panic – And Why This One Will Be Different
“We are in a panic,” declares the author of today’s article, who points to past instances where, as has been the case lately, both treasuries and gold (which tend to be negatively correlated) went up at the same time as evidence. Moreover, he notes that “Each previous panic was dealt with by governments and—more importantly —central banks, including the Chinese central bank, ganging up to stop the rout. However, given the current chill in relations between Washington and Beijing over trade and technology, it is hard to believe that the latest episode will be halted thanks to a cozy cooperation deal between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.” So what’s an investor to do?

Omnichannel Opportunities Amid The Retail Wreckage
Cheap is hard to come by in the U.S. market today, but one sector that is cheap is retail. And while many retailers are cheap for very good reason as online retail lays waste to many physical retailers, the author of today’s article argues that “Going forward as retail space comes under pressure, it’s not necessarily about online vs retail. It’s about omnichannel, which means it’s about competitive vs weak” – and she proceeds to identify some retailers worth keeping an eye on for potential opportunities as they sport high returns on capital and yet low valuations.

A Slick Oil Play
Oil – and energy stocks – tumbled in the wake of escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China – and the fundamental outlook for crude may not provide much reason for optimism, with one analyst cited in today’s article declaring that, with all things pointing to oversupply in the market, “I think there’s really nothing I can look at except maybe a calamity in the Persian Gulf that would drive oil up.” Against this backdrop, one market expert is “suggesting an unconventional way to play the oil and energy space.” For more, CLICK HERE.
