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. Pending home sales have now had a sixth straight monthly decline. While the slowdown in sales was first blamed on low inventories thanks to strong demand, inventories are rising. That suggests that the great housing boom that started in 2020 is no over in earnest. This is a key market, as housing tends to hold a disproportionate amount of wealth for middle-class Americans. That makes it even more important than the stock market when predicting consumer trends. Until this slowdown starts to, frankly, slow down, investors should continue to remain cautious on the overall economy and stock market here. Now here's the rest of the news: Sponsored Content Pizza automation is here. Invest while you can. Pizza purists: you've got bigger concerns than pineapple. Most pizzerias struggle with low margins, and automation has the potential to more than double those. That kicks the door open for robots to take over the $54 billion U.S. pizza market. Piestro's 40-square-foot pizzerias can cook up an artisanal pie in less than 3 minutes. They make a faster pizza without sacrificing quality. And these pods can squeeze into high-traffic commercial spaces–think shopping malls, stadiums, office buildings, and beyond. That's a win-win for everyone in the pizza world and probably why Piestro has locked in $580 million in pre-orders. This is only the beginning.

Today's TOP TIPS Consider Luxury Goods Amid Today's Market Turmoil During the Covid crisis, there was talk of a K-shaped recovery, with the wealthy seeing solid returns while those less fortunate would continue to suffer. That appears to be playing out today. While the wealthy are being hit harder by the stock market decline, they're less vulnerable to changes in housing and energy prices. That may be why luxury goods sales have been holding up so far this year, even as it appears most consumers are spending more to get less thanks to inflation. » FULL STORY Insider Trading Report: HomeStreet Inc (HMST) John Michel, CFO at HomeStreet Inc (HMST), recently added 3,000 shares.
