📰This Data Shows the Real Rate of Economic Recovery📰

Good morning. The stock market quickly bounced back from its Covid crash...
It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. The stock market quickly bounced back from its Covid crash of March 2020, assisted in part by trillions in stimulus and help from central banks (which is still going on). With that kind of help, how can an investor determine what's really going on? By looking at other data than stock prices or GDP, which includes government spending as part of its calculation.

One trend worth watching is in freight trends. The Cass Freight Index (there's an index for everything) shows that goods shipped by road and rail in North America finally hit a pre-pandemic level in July. While a good metric for tracking the economic recovery, physical goods are becoming less useful in today's interconnected digital age. But it's a sign that the economy has room to grow, and is largely recovered outside some supply chain issues and a labor market mismatch.

Now here's the rest of the news:

Today's TOP TIPS
The Best Winners Never Move in a Straight Line

In fact, no asset moves up or down in a straight line. Even a stock or sector in a hot uptrend can be hit with a wild downtrend. Traders astute enough to recognize a temporary setback rather than a cyclical change are likely able to fare well by buying a dip and obtaining the best possible profit.

Last week, Morgan Stanley (MS) warned on memory maker stocks, nothing that the pricing environment would be difficult going into next year.

Productivity Trends Suggest Stocks Will Rise in Spite of Inflation

Many investors have pointed out to rising inflation as a concern, given how rising inflation led to poor market performance in the 1970s. But there are some other differences as well. According to analyst Ed Yardeni, the 1970s also saw a collapse in productivity, a factor that isn't occurring this time around.
Consumer Sentiment Drops to Pandemic-Era Low

The University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index has dropped to 70.2 this month, the lowest reading since 2011. The measure suggests that rising Covid-variants are impacting consumer choices regarding dining out, attending events, and other activities. The index has dropped 13 percent from the prior month, its largest drop since the start of the pandemic.
China Growth Forecasts Slashed

Goldman Sachs (GS) analysts recently slashed GDP growth expectations for China to just 2.3 percent, less than half the 5.8 percent rise they initially expected. The culprit? The Delta variant of Covid, which is leading to another round of lockdowns there. Other analysts have similarly reduced growth expectations for the world's second-largest economy in recent weeks.
Self-Regulatory Audit System Failing

A rising number of state regulators are finding deficient audits at various institutions, profit and non-profit alike. That also includes accounting groups responsible for auditing other companies as well. This weak oversight is leading to potential dangers for investors or donors at companies, pension funds, and charities.
Disney+ Hits 116 Million Subscribers

The Walt Disney Company (DIS) topped earnings estimates in the most recent quarter, thanks largely to continued growth in streaming. Its Disney+ streaming services has now topped 116 million users, up more than 100 percent year-over-year and just 16 months into operation.

Quote of the Day
The hot PPI/home price figures took some of the sheen off the Wed CPI-induced 'inflation has peaked party' and this spurred very modest profit taking in cyclical groups following two days of outperformance.
- Adam Crisafulli, founder of Vital Knowledge, on why strong home and inflation data may have been at odds with a broader picture of inflation rates moderating in the months ahead.
