I’ll trade ya

[The beef 675] [I'm an image] “This is why we can’t have nice trade agreements.” - Jason [Read The Beef Online - Click Here]( Hey there carnivores, Markets fell on… what else… trade news. Today we’re diving deep the agreement formerly known as NAFTA. Keep raging, Jeff & Jason [Image] [I'm an image] I’ll trade ya It’s a done deal! Kinda... Just before finding time to back those articles of impeachment everyone seems to be talking about (more on that later), Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi gave the green light to a new version of a long-disputed trade deal between the US, Canada, and Mexico. The House will [vote on]( the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (or USMCA for those of us whose fingers tire quickly) early next week. And with Pelosi's backing, there's a good chance it passes. The USMCA-what now? The agreement between the three North American nations will replace NAFTA and lays the groundwork to help create more manufacturing jobs in the western hemisphere. In doing this, the US, Canada, and Mexico will generate more of the materials used to build cars and trucks right here in North America, thus reducing the duties paid on importing products from *gulp* China. In business, we call that a win-win. Right-wingers have been onboard with a reworked NA trade agreement for a while now, but Democrats were concerned that it was unenforceable... until today. Speaking of trade agreements... With the December 15th tariff deadline looming over US-China trade talks, we've reached full-blown clusterf*ck status. That's an official government label, by the way. According to [reports]( on Tuesday morning, both the US and China indicated that Sunday would not be the final deadline for coming to a deal. The main point of contention between the nations lies in a commitment by China to buy US farm products, as insisted upon by President Trump. A different story Donny's White House is telling a different story, however. According to White House financial advisor Larry Kudlow, those December 15th talks are [still very much on the table](. According to Kudlow, tariffs could still kick in on Chinese imports on Sunday, driving the divide even further. Siri, wake me up when they've got this thing figured out... The bottom line... A new USMCA deal is not only good for manufacturing, but for tech companies as well. The new deal would allow for data to be shared freely across borders, allowing for more open communication. As for China, until we get a solid answer on what's happening on Sunday, it's anybody's guess as to how this will shake out. Godspeed, markets. [I'm an image] “‘I’m rich, b*tch.” - everyone besides you when a company goes public It’s true, you guys... you don’t need to be a VC playboy to profit off of IPOs. Ben Sturgill built the [IPO Pay Day strategy]( to make it literally impossible to not profit from IPOs. [TELL ME MORE]( [I'm an image] ☑️ Peddle faster, John Foley! Peloton [shares dropped 6%]( on Tuesday after a short-seller note from Citron Research stated there are ‘clear flaws’ in the company’s business model. You mean to tell me a stationary bike that costs $3,000 (when I can go ride my Huffy outside for free) is a bad plan? According to the note, the company has not innovated since incorporating the interactive class into its product, and competitors are starting to create similar products that are more affordable. ☑️ IN THIS HOUSE, WE... announce two articles of impeachment against the President. The House Judiciary Committee [will pursue two articles]( of impeachment, one that accuses Donny Politics of abuse of power by allegedly soliciting election interference with Ukraine and the other which alleges that Trump obstructed Congress by preventing nine officials to testify. Speaker Pelosi needs 216 of the 435 representatives (233 being Dems) in the House to vote in favor of passing the articles to the Senate. Can’t wait to talk about this at Christmas dinner. ☑️ A seller's market. SoftBank is considering selling some of its Alibaba shares in order to fund its share repurchase program. This would be done in an effort to increase SoftBank’s stock price, which is up 16% YTD, [compared to Alibaba’s increase]( of 45% on the year. According to Jefferies Group, the Softies are likely to fund another round of buybacks in mid Q1 2020 with further sale of its Alibaba investment. ☑️ Combo No 5. McAfee, which is owned by Intel and a couple of private-equity firms, [is considering a combination]( with NortonLifeLock. There’s no guarantee that a deal will be struck before Q2 next year, as six of Norton’s 12 directors plan on leaving the company after its annual meeting on December 19th. Talk about an extended Christmas break. ☑️ A slow ascent. Boeing has had a rough year… but it looks like the troubled big old airliner maker might be ending on a high note. Boeing [recorded a net increase]( of 11 commercial airline orders, marking the first time since January that figure rose from the previous month. For reference, Airbus recorded 219. Juuust a bit off.
