📌 Your Midweek Bulletin - May 8, 2024

Fear still rules. And that's a good thing, if you're bold enough... New to the Digest? [Click here.]( [Manward Digest] How to Invest in These Wild and Unpredictable Times [Alex Moschina] Alex Moschina Publisher Manward Press And we're back! Well, almost. As I write, the S&P and Nasdaq are approaching the peaks they reached in March - back when greed ruled the markets. These days, it's a different story. [[Little-Known AI Company Could Be the Next Stock Giant. Click here to see Shah's urgent briefing.]( We're edging back toward the green... but a rocky earnings season, persistent inflation and high interest rates have the average investor still feeling unsettled. When markets opened this morning, CNN's Fear & Greed Index had us at a 38 - firmly in "Fear" territory. [CNN's Fear & Greed Index]( [View larger image]( However, that's up five points from a week ago. And, as we noted up top, stocks have just about recovered from the lows we saw a few weeks back. But as Shah has cautioned again and again recently... Investors need to be careful. SPONSORED Never use this word on your when shopping on your phone (FBI could be watching) [This report]( sent a chill down my spine. Turns out, as part of their Jan. 6th investigation, the Feds are flagging Americans who typed these ordinary words as part of their banking transactions... m*** t**** s**** And they’re doing it without a warrant. [Watch my unredacted video about what I think is coming next right here.]( It’s about to get much worse. A Federal citizen surveillance program is underway. [See what you can do HERE](. From [Shah's Monday Takeaways]( We're seeing stuff move up, and it looks good... But let's see how things go this week because we've just gotten to somewhere. We haven't gotten anywhere important. We're just working our way back up in a downtrending market to somewhere higher... And whether we can consolidate here in any of the benchmarks and move higher yet remains to be seen. We'll get a better understanding of this market's strength as events unfold this week. Today we saw earnings releases from heavy hitters like Uber (UBER), Anheuser-Busch (BUD) and Airbnb (ABNB). Before the week is out, we'll get a peek at the numbers for Brookfield (BN), Sun Life (SLF), Constellation Energy (CEG), Enbridge (ENB), Costamere (CMRE) and other big names. Will they continue the earnings trends Shah noted [here]( Where everything looks peachy... except for revenue figures? We will see. But if cost-cutting is the only way for companies to inspire confidence among investors... that's a troubling sign for future earnings cycles. The good news is... we can always bypass the notion of "earnings" entirely by shifting over to crypto. Dip Buyers Unite! Talk about a sector [driven by narrative](. Crypto falls in and out of favor like high-waisted pants. One day Bitcoin is hitting new all-time highs... And the next, it's plummeting. In short: There's a reason why crypto investors have adopted that HODL (Hold On for Dear Life) mantra.

But one MASSIVE mistake by Putin could change everything for world markets. [See what could happen to U.S. stocks here.]( Those who've been willing to stick out the volatility have been rewarded handsomely as the crypto market grew to a size of more than $2 trillion over the past decade. Of course, as you can see by the many peaks and valleys in our chart below... the ride has rarely been smooth. [Total Crypto Market Cap]( [View larger image]( Even so, as [Robert wrote here on Tuesday]( crypto volatility is a feature (not a bug). "This pattern of sharp declines followed by robust recoveries highlights the volatile yet upward trending nature of major cryptocurrencies," he said, "something crypto critics refuse to accept." And really, it's the same across markets of all kinds. The best time to buy is often when share action looks least enticing. Every investor knows they should "buy the dip." Yet too few actually do. That's a point worth remembering in these wild and unpredictable times.
