More uncertainty. [Unsubscribe]( [Image] [Image] Weekly Market Update Today is May 19, 2023 Dear Reader, Hello again and Happy Friday! Well, not so much a happy Friday for all the politicos involved in the debt ceiling negotiations. I know youâre scratching your heads, as am I. This is still going on? Whatâs hindering an agreement is not a huge surprise. It all comes down to politics, not our countryâs financial health. Bill Spencer Editor-In-Chief
True Market Insiders And contentious party dissent runs deep in Congress. Democrats want the debt ceiling to be raised without any conditions attached. Republicans are demanding spending cuts as a condition for raising the limit. And to add salt to this debt ceiling wound, Federal Reserve head Jerome Powell today indicated that the decision to pause or continue raising rates in June would still be a close call. In other words⦠More uncertainty. And itâs not a happy Friday for the markets either. Investors are reacting negatively to this fear of the unknown. When there is good news, the market moves higher and when there is bad news, it moves in the opposite direction. Unfortunately, it also moves down in the face of uncertainty. Intraday, the markets look like this: And the hits keep on coming⦠Retailer Foot Locker reported quarterly earnings this morning and it wasnât good. It disappointed on profit and its full-year revenue outlook. Management cited a tough macroeconomic environment taking a toll on sales. Shares are being punished and are down 25% today. All-in-all this news is foreboding for the retail sector in general. And the sour after-taste of the March banking debacle is still with us. Investors are wary of investing in the sector as are customers of putting their hard-earned money into them. In fact, some analysts see Marchâs events pushing us into a recession.

But as I said before, not knowing is just as bad as knowing with certainty that weâre headed there. Broad market investors donât bet on an unknown outcome and we end up in bull territory. The good news is that there are ways to invest in these uncertain times, make money, and even create generational wealth. But the key is to not focus on the S&P 500. There are other stocks in lesser -known pockets of the market, ones that arenât so obvious to the average investor. This âsecret sauce,â if you will, was created by someone who has been finding these pockets for over 30 years. His name is Tobin Smith and heâs bringing a new perspective and a new investing game plan to our business. Heâs a Wall Street veteran whoâs seen it all. The up times, the down times, the uncertain times, Wall Street bailouts, energy crises, the dot com bubble, housing bubbles, hyper-inflation, recessions, Covid, Black Monday, the list goes on and on⦠He curates a sprawling network of experts and industry insiders whose intel he relies on to aid him in his investing process. And heâs on the True Market Insiders team. What he brings to our table is a talent for sniffing out what he calls âtransformative momentsâ that are often missed by Wall Street. As he says, âThink of transformative moments as moments where the market fundamentally changesâ¦â âAnd in the process, creates billions of dollars of new wealth for those aware of itâ¦and are early.â And his track record speaks for itself. He bought Amazon at $2.46. He got into Moderna at $55, before the Covid vaccine was launched. The list of trades like this is mind-boggling. And Tobin is proud to talk about them because as he says, âIt ainât bragging if itâs true.â But you should meet him for yourself, which you can. Because he wants to talk about the American retirement â how you can preserve AND build it. And aim for true generational wealth in this scary, uncertain market. He knows how to do it. Heâll be hosting a FREE, LIVE webinar next Tuesday, May 23rd. Heâs calling it âReclaim Your Retirementâ and you donât want to miss it.
