According
to
our
guest,
"Anytime
the
10
year
treasury
yield
approaches
the
S&P
dividend
yield..."
the
event
presents
a
serious
buying
opportunity
in
stocks.
Four
factors
could
lead
share
prices
higher
-
traditional
Labor
Day
buying.
September
window
dressing,
mid-October
earnings
reports
and
buying
in
November
ahead
of
the
holiday
/
January
effect.
A
few
of
our
guests
favorite
stocks
include
tech
giants
Nvidia
(NVDA);
Applied
Materials
(AMAT).
Shares
profiting
from
a
weaker
dollar
include
Ferrari
(RACE).
Navellier
&
Associates
are
monitoring
the
trade
deficit
-
if
the
deficit
continues
to
narrow,
it
could
result
in
a
3%
GDP
growth
rate.
The
recent
geopolitical
issues
with
N.K.
have
boosted
demand
for
the
yellow
metal.
Louis
Navellier
advocates
allocating
a
6-8%
core
position
in
gold
as
the
ideal
portfolio
balancing
investment.
Alternative
economist,
John
Williams
of
Shadowstats.com
discusses
the
increase
in
volatility
in
the
gold
market.
Our
guest
discounts
the
hawkish
talk
of
policymakers,
suggesting
that
the
Fed
could
unleash
a
new
round
of
quantitative
easing
(QE).
The
odds
of
a
lower
balance
sheet
are
overstated
amid
increasing
domestic
/
geopolitical
tensions
sending
the
gold
price,
skyward.
The
discussion
steers
to
Hurricane
Harvey
in
Houston,
a
similarly
devastating
storm
as
Katrina,
which
struck
the
Gulf
12
years
ago
to
the
day.
Officials
fear
rains
will
continue
to
pommel
the
Houston
area
as
Harvey
steers
towards
New
Orleans
(figure
1.1.).
The
economic
ramifications
could
extend
for
years
to
come.
The
interview
concludes
with
an
engaging
discussion
on
the
Bitcoin
/
crypto
markets
-
the
market
cap
continues
to
soar.
The
question
is
raised:
How
do
nearly
endless
supplies
of
fiat
currencies
survive
following
the
introduction
of
Bitcoin,
a
limited
/
instantaneous
digital
money?
