The enthusiasm at the event was contagious. Despite the recent negative performance of cryptocurrency, seeing the excitement of the financial experts in attendance left little doubt that the blockchain is the future. #-ad_banner-#My key takeaway from the conference is the way blockchain is changing the real world. It is via this soon-to-be volcanic change that blockchain and cryptocurrency will quickly become mainstream.

Last week, I told my Profit Amplifier subscribers that we were going to buy the dip, and this is still my intention. Unfortunately, the dip was deep enough to trigger masses of stop orders and incite a bit of short-term panic among market participants, sending the S&P 500 below its key 200-day moving average.

It’s been making fortunes for investors for generations and has seen its stock rise 1,588% since 2002.

The S&P 500 Index suffered its second major correction in 2018 with last week’s decline of 6.74%.  As you can see from a chart of the S&P 500, last week’s correction broke through the index’s 200-day moving average. It’s the third time this year the market broke through its support. And while the market has bounced a bit as of Monday afternoon, investors are left questioning whether this market can rise above its long-term support one more time, or finally roll over.  To answer that question, investors need to take a step back and look at the macro-view.

It’s About Interest Rates One of the most prescient indicators of a future recession is the yield curve.  Most of the time, the yield curve is positive, meaning longer dated bonds have a higher coupon than shorter dated bonds.  But, there are times when the yield curve inverts – meaning long rates are lower than short rates.  When this happens, the probability of a recession grows markedly. —Recommended Link— 148-Year-Old Firm Performs Magic Trick:  10K Transformed Into $58,000 The company that took the top spot in our new Legacy Asset portfolio has a 148-year advantage over most of… Read More
