Market Briefing For Monday, Oct. 30
Political risk expands as we go into the new trading week.
Hottest frenzy: the iPhone X - pensive LightPath and Apple are mentioned in the main video; so I just want to add that Samsung and Google are both big winners, not losers, if the iPhone X is a big success beyond the initial frenzy to obtain a launch day 'ten'. Most of you know this but Samsung makes the 5.8" OLED screen on iPhone X and Google is the default 'search engine'. So yes, Google pays, some say (it is not precisely known), about $3 billion a year TO Apple for having it as the default search engine.

In sum, still on the prowl for the elusive correction and realize that: a) you can have a blow-off that corrects and doesn't tank; b) complacency or just frustration dominates the markets as prices move high (I'm tickled pink just now); c) the stabilizing has occurred because 'value investors' mostly gave responsibility of money management to others or computers; and are thus less attached to their money (in more ways than one) versus history; d) this is a danger while seen by 'the Street' as a palliative for passive investing. |
